Say what you want about the new manager, but that is without a doubt a team of 11 starting players supplemented by 9 substitutes. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise

Increasingly bizarre feeling on this messageboard. Couple thousand members all united in a passion that actively upsets them. Not sure I'll go to great lengths to watch it today

I know the board room staff are the root cause of a lot of the issues not limited to this manager. But there is a real real culture of 'that'll do, easy street' amongst the players. Clearly culture trickles down, but it's frustrating as a fan. I distinctly remember Hyam and Brittain not liking being challenged on poor performances

Is supporting Rovers meant to be like the last scene of Elf. We all have to believe and back the boys, and the results will come again. Where's our Zoey Deschanel?

Don't worry, he got his big move to Spurs and now he can break the silence

Christ it's worse than I thought. We've got the Brockhall Mukhabarat. It's like something out the USSR. Secret shadow men, competing levels of reporting up the chain on one another. Historically, all of that came with skimming off the top and a fire sale to finish. What did Santayana say about history?

Talk about a man who knows how to see off a few Indians

Co commentator is a numpty

Come on Val, pop another blue steel and stand motionless in the technical area - 204th time the charm

At least we signed him, who was it we didn't sign because he wore ripped jeans? Am I mad in recalling it being Reece James?

Do we need a BRFC wife swap style hobby exchange?

I'm racking my brain for other hobbies. I can't keep watching this, I'll get sectioned. There's a lot of investment spend in wood working, probably prices me out. Tai Chi is free in the park?

That's phenomenal from Pears. I don't understand how you make it pro and pull that out. I know tonight is less so on the players, but Pears and some others (Hyam, Brittain) are some fair weather players. That's what makes hedges more frustrating, this is him trying!

"there's Hedges, lovely ball to pick him out" as he shanks a 5 yard pass wide of the mark

You misheard. It's high priced, depression based football

'We oppose imperialism, believe in the rule of law and freedom for our people' 'Steve this is a fan forum'

It's completely by the by but that cream leather sofa is hideous. Wouldn't be out of place in an estates front garden

I don't often agree with Waggots management of the club but I do agree in this instance We shouldn't be spending £160 on mini bus travel for none existent teams

Well that answers that

Is there any indication of impetus for this to change, or is the manager still stood on the touchline hands in pockets like a bouncer of a small town wetherspoons

I missed the first half. Dare I ask?

They are absolutely loathed in Pune if Reddit is anything to go by!

They used to play in the premier League when they took over. All the fans despise them. Good thing they took over an English club instead of destroying an Indian one.

Based on the judicial system so far, is there in a perverse way a chance that by Indian standards the Venkys are capable and attentive owners? If the judge can't plan a holiday rota then what chance do we have! Last time this happened we were behind a murder trial. Imagine telling the loved ones they've knocked it 3 months because his honourable is on a staycation in Goa

God what crime did you commit to warrant what I can only presume is community service
