FFS. At least JDT says blame him and not the players. Great leadership but he should say blame waggot and venkys

Garrett!

Squad is looking healthy finally. A few injuries are returning. Let's see what they can do today. 2-3 rovers

Can we sell Leo in this window for his current value? Please?!

It's a poisoned chalice. Hopefully other clubs will see that if they ever approach jdt

I'm hoping it leads to us getting a couple of experienced bodies in the building... Although I know what you mean!

"It is a position we are extremely stretched in now," he said. "This window is extremely important for the club to get it right. "I think we should have signed two (defenders) in the summer. Before these things happened, I think the club should have brought players in. "Now with James and Travis going away, then there is space to use, money to use." Tomasson is particularly disappointed to be losing Hill, who had become a regular in the side after breaking into the team in October. Whether that full-back or in the middle, Hill was an important contributor to the squad. It leaves a big hole for the club to fill. "We are losing James Hill, we lost Daniel Ayala and we lost Ashley Phillips," Tomasson said. "Two went out of the building, one came in. Now he is also gone." Wow. Gotta say he is the most honest coach

Yep agreed Suits all parties. Perhaps Trav is on performance based payments too so he hasn't been selected/playing to save money

Any news on the rescheduled Cardiff game? I planned to stay in Cardiff that weekend but now it's the facup! Doh!

Haha imagine that we had such competent negotiators! We would have got a better deal if so LOL. This

The main reason for the Cherries bringing him back is to cover their injury problems at the back. It is not out of the question then that if those issues were to clear up, Hill could return before the window closes

Connor O'Riordan remains a player of interest but negotiations are still ongoing with Crewe Alexandra about the structure of the deal. The defender has a 500K release clause in his contract and Rovers are still the front runners for the deal. However, it's understood the club are keen to spread that payment due to their financial restraints, whilst Crewe are short of money themselves and want as much as possible up front. Ffs

Not sure where to post this but having seen the arsenal decline lately and looking at these stats it feels familiar with rovers. Arsenal play "great" football have loads of chances and shots but lose. They have a high xg but don't convert. Seems similar to us ! Apart from we have a terrible defence as well!!

This would be really frustrating if it's true. We don't have the depth and he is playing well

That's what I thought too haha

Everyone's entitled to their opinion. And TBF he has kicked a ball. 6 starts and 1 goal on loan from aug til Dec. We will get behind him as all rovers players but let's not kid ourselves. He is not what we require during this window. We are taking what we are offered, probably by agents. I doubt our first team coach wanted a player of his calibre but under this regime when do our coaches or fans get the players we actually require?

Save on wages eh? Something has to pay for all these PL loan wages!

"I didn't use James Hill so he wasn't cup-tied. "It was not necessary but he was ready to help the team. He's a very good player and it's been a pleasure to work with him. He's done really, really well." JDT on hill. Jdt seems like a nice guy. The above proves it. But also wtf We don't employ him and sign players to help them develop when they are already going back to their loan club. What's the purpose in that.

Whilst I agree with your comments I think if carter is sold for £8m his " replacement" o Riordan is not a replacement. It's a backwards move. This method will only go so far until we are relegated

Don't worry. Leo will shake him up soon enough

How many times have I said this. FFs. Now he will have a 6 week groin injury

He scores an even more difficult header!! That will do him good for confidence

Get Sammie off now

Hyam very lucky there !

We can score now though. Good build up for siggy goal
