Rovers are making it really, really hard for apathy not to set in right now. 

Has there been any word on when Hedges is back? Feels like he's been "a few weeks away" for about two months now. 

Travis was on the bench on NYD. Less than a week later he was holding up an Ipswich shirt.

Agreed.

But they reflect worse on the 'set piece coach'

Why on earth would we/JDT persist with Benson in that role though when our set piece play is absolutely chronic at both ends of the pitch? 

Watching that backline in injury time and Scott Wharton was the one organising the team.

I have a lot of time for Hyam and think his recent shakiness is down to being rushed back from injury, but a natural captain he isn't.

not sure if it's been mentioned, but it looks like trav has a new agent – who facilitated his ipswich move.

Same agent as Kaminski. 👀

I think Rovers do a lot of bonus heavy related contracts which isn't a bad thing and iv'e no doubt he earned 15 grand last week.

I did half wonder if this played a part in Travis being offloaded. He'd just reached 200 league appearances which may have triggered a salary increase.

We are now firmly Brighton's academy. Some will see that as a feather in our cap. I give up.

Broughton certainly does. Made a big point about our ties to Brighton like it should be celebrated. If you don't laugh, you'll cry. 

The Trav situation is clearly the club kicking the issue (club captain not playing) six months down the line when JDT will very probably be on his way.

I don't think Trav would want to leave Rovers in an ideal world. For all his shortcomings, he loves the club. 

I clocked Hyam flexing his leg after a set piece about halfway through the first half.

Anyone close to the bench see Travis's reaction to being subbed? From the riverside I just saw a shirt being flung to the floor...

Also in the Riverside and clocked this. I'm not convinced he was 100% from Saturday (spent more time with the fitness coaches in the warm up than the other players) and I don't think he was ever going to play 90 mins. Just frustration that we couldn't turn it around, I think, especially after that shot he had saved. 

What I wouldn't give to be a fly on the wall at JDT and Waggott's next interaction. JDT is clearly done with the guy and his saying what people want to hear.
