I get point C was somewhat in jest, but sorry I'm not a "casual", nor bonkers, and I never said Eustace is a Messiah; I said he's the best option I think we could expect.

Alex Neill is another Mowbray, making a career off a couple of promotions over a decade ago, who will maybe steady the ship, tread water, flirt with playoffs then run out of ideas.

Eustace is a more forward looking appointment who, albeit in a shorter career, comfortably led Big Club to safety when favourites to go down, had them playing good football & in 6th place when sacked by uninformed useless owners.

Anyway, sounds almost certain it'll be him in the dugout on Saturday, I hope you'll support him.

I hear you. Wasn’t calling you a casual, I meant in the terms of ‘everyone’ in my post.

Disagree on him being more forward looking, small sample size, and from what I’ve read Birmingham fans suggested he was play for a point and hope to nick a goal.

No thanks, not good enough imo.

And I am really, really not bothered about reason C. I want what's best for Rovers, not what winds up our "rivals" more.

Sure, point C was tongue in cheek.

But anyone who thinks Eustace is a better coach than Alex Neil is bonkers. 

Eustace didn’t even do that well at Birmingham, just because everyone thought the Rooney appointment was terrible, casuals jump on the bandwagon and think he was some messiah beforehand.
 

I want Alex Neil.

A) more experienced than eustace

 still lives in area

C) will wind up the nobbers 

Independent to Callum rovers but been told same info.

One of the two is Malcom Ebiowei.

Come on, he hasn't had a massive budget, but has signed THREE strikers who haven't scored a single Championship goal for us and blew the summer budget on Wahlstedt.

He doesn’t make the signings. Do some basic research instead of typing dross off your 2003 dell PC.

Broughton - he's not a mate of mine, why would I refer to him on first name terms? 

You mean:

I thought you spelt it wrong and laughed

Then doubled checked and oops I’m wrong so make up some b0ll*ks

He most certainly is.

He is DOF therefore he is ultimately responsible for everything that happens on the football side.

Edit: "Gregg" LOL.

You're a Club employee I take it.

Edit: "Gregg" LOL.

What do you call him?

Yes, I'm sure he's bring in another 4 or 5 Hirst's Ennis's or Telalovic's or Wahlstedts and life will be rosy.

Maybe if a chunk of the money was spent bringing in a proper DOF we'd stand a slightly better chance.

 

Gregg oversees recruitment processes. He doesn’t scout the players that’s what the recruitment analysts do.

Clown. 👍

Unfortunately we have bills to pay thanks to our illustrious owners.

However it's dressed up, that is the reason why it is being rushed through in this window.

Yeah good valid point 👍

Seems strange for us to let him go without a bidding war that will no doubt happen in the summer. 
 

We in no rush to sell (4.5 year deal) so it’s strange to let him go at the first bidder.

CPFC is not a great move for him stylistically. Roy doesn’t play football, they bypass midfield, and will probably mis-profile him as a 10, as he’s ’good on the ball’.

Think his dad and agent have Mis advised him if he ends up there

Update;

JW Stand - 5,594
BBE Lower - 3,108
Riverside - 1,446
All Home fans - 10,148

Have you counted every blue/grey dot?

Or do you have a more efficient, strategic method to calculate this?

Anyone know how many tickets we have sold?

They've seemed able to spot good goalscorers for quite a long time now. Dwight Gayle is another that comes to mind, but I'm sure they've had loads at L1 level. Clarke-Harris being one, and maybe Craig Mackail-Smith before then. 

Throw Jack Marriott and Britt Assombalonga into the mix!

Wahlstedt

JRC Carter Hyam Pickering

Wharton Tronstad

Markanday Moran Sigurdsson

Szmodics

The two clubs must mutually agree ticket prices in advance.

So fear not, I'm sure 'man of the people' Waggott will be doing his bit to keep prices down to a level in keeping with what he has been charging at Ewood.

Is the ticket revenue halved between clubs in this cup? If so, expect waggott to only try and increase the prices 🤣

Hedges, JRC, Brittain combination down the right was devastating

Thought hedges was good when he came on, Markanday did well for our penalty, but other than that, didn’t offer a great deal.

Desperate for Arnor Sigurdsson to be as good as we hope off the left when he’s fit!

Looking at this tweet I think we might be in yellow today. Ironically this is one of the games in which could have with any of our three kits.

 

Don’t know if it’s just me, but I get pissed off when any team (not just rovers)

A) play in their away kit, when the home could be worn.

similarly, play in their third kit, when their away kit could be worn.

Think he deserves a proper shot this season

Anyone remember Forest 1-4 at home last season?

Markanday stood out to me that day. Never gave the ball away and excellent close control dribbling.

How good was Edmondson vs Accrington, and what position/type of player is he.

Womens football has real potential if:

They reduce the goal sizes to emulate the average women gk size, compared an average male gk size

Reduce the pitch sizes to emulate womens cardiovascular output compared to mens.

i believe if they made smaller nets, and cut 10-15% off the pitch, it would be far more entertaining.

What's quite annoying though, is the cost of my daughter's ticket.

She's still at college, but turned 18 last week.

Her ticket is therefore £189, versus £86 if she wasn't yet 18. That makes no sense.

I’m probably wrong so please feel free to correct me, but I understand the 18-23 price hike on the 17 and under, is due to them ‘assuming’ you’re working a full time job as an 18+ year old, and can therefore afford an extra £90 due to having full time (albeit likely low) income.

As I say that’s just a guess.

Yeap, you can see it in Travs game now. We’re moving the ball a lot quicker and knocked it around today with confidence.

Yep, I noticed several times today, Travis playing one touch, and moving FORWARD with the ball at every opportunity. He never used to do that. Credit to him, and to JDT.
