That is a great article about Phil Jones. Reading it you can't help but feel for the fella but that's not what this thread is about. BBD made a decision. Left the club. Has done financially well and has made progress in his career. I loved him at Rovers and he did well throughout parts of his Rovers career but the club didn't cash in on him when they could have and he ran his deal down and moved on to different things. Who knows about his mental health but who would have said it would have been any better if he signed on a new deal at Rovers and then got injured- we would never know.

Exactly. Even arsenal aren't playing that way anymore. They buy physically big players and use corners, long balls and avoid tippy tappy more than often because they know that's not the way to win games. Will be interesting to see how this evolves. I don't think our lot would fight to keep JE as the new structure appears that he isn't integral to the running of the club, he's the coach and therefore likely deemed replacable.

Hahaha it's scary isn't it. You think these guys are still potential kids then it turns out they are no longer potential or kids!!

Duane Holmes and Patrick Bauer Both off injured tonight.. They shouldn't be playing at the weekend then

Hahah Yuki is going to be even more motivated!! He'll love that dedication Great work fellas

Oh of course. It's a grim place but the occasion will be wonderful. 5000+ rovers army behind our unbeaten squad. Will be great

Compare him to Gally then let's talk. Would like to see some stats to back this up

Great news.. going to be a wonderful occasion

Cheers. Seems a new thing for rovers to be posting post match interviews directly to YouTube after the game..glad someone at the club has noticed what everyone else has been doing!

Indeed they do. Come on rovers. This makes up for the game down here last season. Great win lads

'' 'Twit'-bait"

Yes exactly.Very excited about this talent..our squad is actually really exciting this season..can't wait for the Bristol match!!

Love this from Garett. https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/24558498.blackburns-garrett-opens-honest-john-eustace-talks/ "I got Young Player of the Year last year which has brought me a lot of confidence for this season but I feel like this season I want 30 games minimum. I know what goals I've set myself and at the end of the day it's how I progress and that's when I'm on the pitch and playing 90 minutes." So glad he chose to drop a league and get experience and regular mins. Equally pleased as I live close to Bristol rovers (the gas!) stadium so get to see him a lot this season which is great.

This is great. It needs it's own locked thread so it doesn't get lost on the pages and we can see your updates weekly and compare/track. Great effort

Id take that. We need to keep our unbeaten run going

Haha. This is the only one we need to worry about pal

Haha! I'll take that. Am forever grateful for our teachers (aka our BRFCS backroom staff!!)

After last season's away drumming (I personally got scathed at work and still continue to get grief about it) we need to give them a payback at ewood.

Yeh its interesting. Also Jdt kept pears in the sticks despite TK returning from injury. I wonder if he thought we'd up his value and the club would sell him too? Wonder how long it will be before Tory gets a game Will be interesting to see what makes that decision as we collectively agree Pears should be dropped but whether Eustace does or not is hard to know

Just a quick shout out of appreciation for our backroom staff. Working extremely hard for us ! Much appreciated!!

That's is what's so frustrating. This guy just gets to go and do as he pleases. At least we are still unbeaten.

Featuring a ref who wants to make sure everyone knows he is the person that's most important in the stadium. Not the fans not the players not the rules. Rovers did extremely well considering

Great summary!

Travis....ohhh

This is so frustrating!
