That *was* the January Window

There's a key figure at the club who needs sacking and it's Steve Waggott. -

Here we are again... an underperforming manager that can't be held accountable thanks to the owners. JDT isn't the problem but the reality is even if he was... there would be nothing we could do about it. We would have to watch them continue to not get results beyond the norm of any other reasonably ran, ambitious club. As I said mid week, we have owners that are not fit and proper. They are incapable of running a football club. It will never change until Venky's are out of this club. -

Ladies and gents… I’m afraid we’re going down -

I’ve never seen this many errors from a goalkeeper at this level… and I’ve seen some bad goalkeepers. -

Seen plenty of bad first and second touches from Moran this season I'm afraid. He does have ability though. -

In fairness to Gallagher we didn't cross him a ball for about 3 years. -

Again not Bowyer but Rovers senior management and.... look who it is again... THE OWNERS. Any person with a remote interest in football could have told you Gary Bowyer wasn't remotely close to being a top manager in the Championship. Every failure since 2010 is a symptom of Venky's. -

Read this plenty on here and it's one of the most ridiculous ideas around. -

Yep being backed is equally as important for the players as it is the manager in those positions. You see Carvalho walk into training or the goalkeeper they are about to sign for £1.3m and you all get boost. You start to believe that the people above believe and we have a chance. Rovers are essentially an ownerless club, as supporters we'll rue those two seasons for a very long time. We'll also probably regret not trying to force the owners and the CEO (who is taking the club nowhere) out more aggressively too on a matchday. They are getting away with it that's for sure. -

Hull in 7th place are doing exactly what our despicable owners wouldn't do when we were in 2nd (and will never do for that matter)... going for it. Unfit for English football.. No interest! Venky's out!! -

100% our fans are bonkers. Venky's absolutely need to go. -

Didn't rate Travis but if the happy clappers are right we should see a player with 200 Championship appearances or the equivalent at a level above come in before January is over. Look forward to it... 😂 🐷🛫 -

We have now resorted to free loan deals. Very worrying times in terms of investment in the first 11. -

Travis could have had more impact as a sub/ tactical change in recent weeks. Rovers need to pull some decent signings out now, not kids... continue with this kind of business and we might be heading down. -

Not a great player for the system but this is bonkers stuff from the club, as was loaning out Buckley with a paper thin squad. It's desperate times. -

You'd have to be very naive to listen to JDT's interview and get a man who's happy to be here. He's clearly extremely disappointed by the summer transfer activity, the age of the squad, cutting of the budget, lack of clarity about the budget going forward and the ambitions of the people above him. You would be right in thinking he's a good professional and loyal to his young players but happy, c'mon. Let's get real. Being successful in football management isn't just about liking the fans, or the players and that isn't what makes a good manager stay in a job - he's highlighting that this isn't enough for success - we have that in place, we are all ambitious and like each other at this level and look where we are - is what he's saying. Ultimately he needs the people above him to do their bit and they never will. JDT "liking" his players and the fans, is the equivalent of us fans liking the club logo, of course we do. It doesn't mean you buy a season ticket and it doesn't mean he'll stick around. The fact he's saying these things in response to questions such as "Are you frustrated Jon?" should be enough of a red flag for you to realise he's in a desperate situation and is completely disillusioned with the club and its hierarchy. He's an intelligent man, and it's what he doesn't say that's always more revealing. Have a listen... he essentially tells every interviewer you're an intelligent enough person to not need me to answer that question and in doing so he is answering it. "The fans are ambitious, my players are ambitious" I can't believe this needs spelling out but a happy football manager in this interview scenario finishes those sentences with "and the owners are ambitious, I speak with them every day" or "the club is very supportive and it is showing on the pitch". WAKE UP ROVERS FANS FFS. -

Pickering is too slow for the Championship. League One defender IMO. -

I think I'm done with this manager... although it has to be said I'll always be more done with the owners. They are scum. Tomasson hasn't been backed but he also isn't getting the best out of his defence - which is arguably the strongest part of the team personnel wise. Perhaps the current lack of ability to defend is due to him having to over compensate after not being backed in the summer and a need to over engineer a young football team. Either way the results have now turned unacceptable but they are everything the owners deserve. Every manager in world football would struggle to achieve anything working under Venky's that is where the real problem lies. -
