Some captain pulling a sickie.

not a leader is he,you can`t imagine colin hendry,craig short or kevin moran etc pulling out of an important game with "illness" can you,sell him in the summer,he`s one i would`nt be sad to see leaving

after the season he`s had,whitaker will be going further up the food chain

Different league but surprising too see empty seats in the Bolton 'Biggest Club in Lancashire' End tonight at Oakwell!

same here,terrible game incidentally,barnsley are terrible and bolton just content to sit and foul them,they`ll need 11 new players if they are going to compete in the championship

think we`ll ship 3 or 4 goals tommorow,leicester,even with nothing to play for will move the ball far quicker than we react to,only bonus is dewsbury-hall missing for them,cracking player that lad,vardy playing on the shoulder of mcfadzean and hyam is a bit unfair innit😫

iv`e been involved with  the game long enough to spot a **** manager/head coach and he certainly is up there,the kind of manager who could spent infinate amounts of money and still fail to build a winning side,eustace has an annoying smug side as well,like he knows everything and the everyone is beneath him

eustace has reduced us to a side that scored a lot of goals but conceded at lot

to a side that now struggles to score goals and still concedes a lot

ignore his bull**** about stabilising us,it`s hogwash,he`s made us worse

There are folk in the Riverside near me who, believe me, have often referred to him as selfish & sulky if things aren't going his way.

Crazy I know, but that's us Riversiders for you!

it`s not a crowd in the riverside,it`s a jury😊

Anyway, back to the manager. He's not for me, then again aside from Szmodics, the entire board, first team, management and owners can f off and let us start again.

bit harsh on tronstadt,scott wharton and dolan,only three other than sammie id`e be bothered about losing,id`e put the rest of them on the open to offers list

nothing to celebrate finishing fourth from bottom,thats loser talk,im`e beginning to dislike the man a lot

he`s not in the kean realm yet,but he`s getting there,more statements of crap like today and he`ll get there soon,he`s gone below coyle in my rovers dislike list,just above appleton and kean now and he`s only been here a few months😁 incidentally the  statement today could have come from kean,complete lies being masked up as a success,he`ll be claiming his first signing in the summer is the new mbappe!!!!!!!!!

He’s played 333 minutes for them including only 20 minutes in their last 10 matches (albeit one was against us when he couldn’t have played)

Whatever they saw which made them sign him hasn’t translated into them wanting to play him on anything like a frequent basis.

mckenna took him on loan and quickly realised he`s not very good,tbh i think his best position is right back,using his running power and tackling,probably better there because he only has to look one way and does`nt have to turn quickly,he`s a better full back than brittain who can`t tackle and is always out of position

eustace is another appleton,dull,charisma free,dubious tactics and one of the "positive brigade",we could lose 7-0 every week and there would still be "positives" about it,i very much doubt he`ll achieve anything here,especially with the idiots running the club,i feel sorry for him in the respect but just can`t take to the fellow

Dowell is only 26 I wouldn't say that is past it? Can't say iv been following how he is doing at Rangers but looked a good championship player.

We won't have the money for any of them anyway 

tis a sad state of affairs,davies would be great for us,in fact id`e sell hyam  and try to get davies in,he offers more in the leadership dept as well as being more aggressive

I thought they said the financial blockages had been lifted and they were able to support us again. If we aren’t paying a transfer fee we can surely offer a decent wage. We must have money with the Wharton and raya money coming in this summer 

in greg we trust😰🐍

I guarantee we can't afford to pay any of them what they're looking for. 

id`e have ben davies here in a heartbeat,proper centre back,the other two are well past it

one issue is clear,they definately do not want us promoted,you don`t **** four managers over if you want to play in the top flight

Rovers fans sold their tickets to City fans when they won promotion with their last game of the season at Ewood. It created a very nasty situation throughout the ground. 

would have been absolute anarchy if we had still been winning with 10 minutes to go!!!! i was ready to leg it,was one of the very few times im`e glad we lost😕

Lucky escape - unless you would have enjoyed freezing to death in the horizontal sleet! I've been on a lot of cold non-league grounds over the years but Lanehead beats them all.

buxton and matlock,both of them sub zero,in august🥶

When Pickering receives the ball in the opposition half he just always turns inside and usually plays a nothing pass to the nearest teammate. As a wingback he presents zero threat to the opposition. 

 

he`s a good defender but like you said,he offers nothing going forwards,i actually think he`s a better centre back than a full back

I love how Tomasson has started to get some criticism now he is no longer our manager. Same happened with Mowbray and now Eustace can do no wrong.

i suspect there won`t be many praising eustace next season🙄

first indication of nothing changing and no significant incomings  will be if gallagher gets a contract extension,if he gets ***** off it could be a good sign that there are some changes afoot,don`t want to go into next season with bloody gallagher leading the line

he warmed up with Rovers first team before yesterday game

can`t believe he was`nt on the bench and koumetio was,does eustace not rate him????

where is o`riordan??????????our signing from crewe

Dembele is the one for me…Got a feeling another champ team will snap him up though…If the rumours of us being linked with him last season were true, you’d like to think GB would revisit him.

we need to act fast,certainly attracting interest,will greg act in time???????
