Uninspiring at best. Eusless at worst.

Can anyone go to the Fans Forum? Asking for a friend

He’s the top goalscorer in the Championship & has all the attributes of a brilliant striker, as described in my earlier post above. The point is, we need to play to his strengths.

Still shite though Also the new Rovers Armed Forces Veterans Team could’ve probably beat Stoke that day. Eustace has a lot to prove, very uninspiring so far in the Championship. However, solid performances & at least 4 points from Millwall & Plymouth games will change that completely.

Szmodics isn’t a false 9, he’s a striker with 25 goals this season in all comps. Scored a variety of goals including headers, poachers goals and running in behind. We need to play to his strengths, not the 6ft4 donkey Gallagher who for all his strong running and defensive headers, doesn’t score goals & lacks the technical ability or a first touch to hold the ball up and bring others into play. Wharton is a better option than McFazdean as he can play football.

442 do me a favour Chaddy lad 😩 Pears Hyam Wharton Chrisene Brittain Pickering Buckley Ayari Dolan Sigurdsson Szmodics Defensive solid with 5 across the back when defending but legs to get forward when attacking. McFazdean & Gallagher OUT as they simply aren’t good enough footballers. Replaced with better quality on the ball in Chrisene & Siggy. Siggy, despite his limitations, does have genuine quality to hurt the opposition in the attacking 3rd of the pitch. Which is what we need to WIN games. Pragmatic draws are no longer good enough. Let’s go out to hurt Millwall with good football, not play them at their own dirty game. COYB! 🌹

Ideas for the next protest?! The club is dying before our eyes. At what point will the majority of our fan base wake up to what is happening? When we’re in the Bottom 3? When we get relegated to League One either this season or next? When further playing assets are sold in the summer for a knock down price? Gutsy but ultimately failed performances in the FA Cup or a pragmatic manager (who so far has been unable to achieve anything more than uninspiring draws and defeats in the league) aren’t going to change anything. Time to WAKE UP and DO SOMETHING & keep the spotlight on our cretinous owners and their stooge Steve Maggott. Parasites that are killing our club from the inside out with their short sighted and non-sensical business decisions. That couldn’t be more highlighted by loaning out our combative club captain & selling the best young midfielder of a generation ahead of time to keep the club afloat. GET THEM OUT BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE!

Agreed, absolutely awful but to be fair to the lad you don’t want him in those areas. He’s an attacking midfielder/forward yet for some reason has been asked to drop into more defensive areas by both JDT & JE. And he’s not up to it. Thought he did well v Newcastle but he shouldn’t be playing in midfield. Unfortunately we let Travis & Wharton go and Tronstad being injured highlights the incredibly short sighted business decisions that happen at our club under Venky’s & Maggott. GET. THEM. OUT. The club is dying before our eyes and players & fans are sleepwalking into League One. TIME TO WAKE UP!

Same old Rovers yesterday. Pears flapping. Moran losing the ball in key areas leading to easy goals for the opposition. Gallagher & Dolan, despite the recent clamour, would only be squad players in a team at the higher end of the Championship - both demonstrate a distinct lack of quality in the attacking 3rd of the pitch. If Gally had a first touch and could hold the ball up to bring midfield runners like Bucko, Szmodics & Moran into play he’d be fantastic. But he doesn’t, and his stats back up that lack of quality year in year out. And he’s a big pussy who gets subbed off at the slightest hint of an injury. Ultimately though, the blame lies with our cretinous owners & their stooge Steve Maggott. We’ve not had the budget to replace weaker first team players & ones that have left the club with better quality. This will lead us straight into League One, either this season or next. Both the players and the fans need to wake up to that fact very quickly.

Agreed, he wouldn’t have even got a hat-trick with Tommy K between the sticks! One was a nutmeg & another went right through him. Made it easy for Haaland who hasn’t been in great form with his finishing lately

Proud to be a Rover last night after an awful few months supporting this club! 🌹 The coaching team, players & fans united under the lights, mixing it with one of the Premier League big boys - what we had for 2 decades before our cretinous owners turned up! And a peaceful protest against the parasites running our club - Venkys & CEO Steve Maggot - that didn’t affect the lads or the enjoyment of the game. Impact made live on BBC One and in the wider media, not quite game, set and match but we certainly made a point 🎾 Well done to all involved 👍

14th minute…have you got the balls? 🎾

Taking Dingles out 2 at a time! Once a Rover, always a Rover 🌹

The ticket map v Newcastle is pretty worrying. Anyone know how many tickets we’ve sold? Haven’t seen much marketing for this fixture at all amidst all the relentless fake positivity surrounding the new manager on social media & the website. If we can’t sell tickets for a game against a “glmaorous” Premier League & Champions League side what hope have we got?

One of Leo’s better games? Chris Sutton called him a “Flapper” on the commentary!

In the absence of any other organised ideas, this one looks the best. Whistles on another pre-determined minute towards the end of the game to call time on Venky’s? I hope everyone is not fooled by the relentless fake positivity coming out of the clubs social media & website, in the absence of any real communication about what’s gone on. Are the majority of our fan base really that stupid and gullible to fall for a League One Manager & kick and rush football to get easy points? Even the players are in on it now, clearly being put up to praising the fans who travelled to Cardiff on social media….whatever the f*ck next?

Is there a better quality version of this anyone can send?

Sad not to see him in a Rovers shirt for another 6 months but glad he’s done so well in his first few games for Palace. He’ll thrive under their new coach playing in a midfield 2 which should bring out the best of both sides of his game. He was positionally superb last night and always looking to play forward when he got the ball. He did his defensive duties well too, even muscling Doucouré off the ball on one occasion which is no mean feat. He only looks lazy as he’s 5 yards ahead of anyone else on the pitch in his head and so is always where he needs to be without looking like he is trying. He’s a generational talent and it won’t be too long before the top 6-8 PL Clubs come calling for his services.

Bring back JDT! Callum Brittain is a sh*t house, bleating like a little lamb within days of JDT leaving and then putting an awful performance in like that and giving away a goal. Poor lad not being able to cross, pity he’s not able to defend either. I don’t like many of this squad anymore. Szmodics & Tronstad are the only 2 that are solid week in week out, the rest are either sh*t, sh*thouses or permanently injured like JRC.

Are Dolan & Gallagher ACTUALLY any good? No doubts we’ve missed them, but only because their replacements are absolute garbage. For me they’re just good in comparison to the poorer standard of player we've signed who really should’ve been a step up in quality if the club had any real ambition to keep progressing. Neither Gally or Dolan have consistently shown they’re up to it in the past. What’s changed now?

Venky’s & MAGGOT out

You’re talking nonsense to suit your argument…JDT’s football was excellent and we finished higher than at any point under Mowbray and would have made the play offs comfortably but for the O’Brien transfer failing and the inexplicable decision to keep Kaminski on the bench - he was clearly due to be sold and Pears needed Championship minutes, that decision was clearly above JDT’s head and he eventually left for a pathetic £2m, given he’s now worth at least £20m and we replaced him with a Swedish Flapper. We also had 2 brilliant cup runs, beating 2 Premier League sides along the way and almost getting to a semi-final at Wembley against Man City. JDT was a young, progressive and ambitious coach and he’d played the game at the very highest level. With backing last summer and if GB had the ability and funds to get the players in we need, we would’ve continued to progress this season. Unfortunately we replaced Kaminski with Leo who is clearly an awful keeper and since he came into the team we began conceding 2 goals per game. How is any manager expected to get results with players who aren’t ready for Championship football? Also see Ennis & Telalovic - not ready for the Championship. James Hill aside, who’s now left too, the quality of our loans has also been worse than in previous seasons. Good luck to Eustace, it’s a good appointment in the circumstances but under the same club ownership, financial issues and their stooge Steve MAGGOTT as CEO, this continues to go one way before the asset stripping really begins in the summer. New era my arse! This won’t end until the parasites leave.

Shit show. Venky’s & Maggott OUT!

Couldn’t agree more. Parasites - them and Steve Maggott will never be forgiven after the EMBARRASSMENT they’ve caused the club and the fans this week. Get them OUT!

What matters is keeping the heat & spotlight on the Rao Family & Steve Maggott. They’re parasites. Pep Guardiola, KDB and Haaland could rock up tomorrow and they’d still struggle with these CLOWNS running the circus
