Hmm.... The issue is though, he's brought some self-respect and sense of identity back to the team, and somehow managed to knit together a disparate rag bag of players into a reasonably cohesive unit. Not many other managers we've endured recently have been anywhere near that, and most have had a much better deal in terms of money being spent. If he does go, I think he will be a success wherever he goes, Derby or anyhwere else, as he clealry has the management and leadership skills and capabilties needed to make a real difference - and that will be really difficult to replace.

Stop it! You'll be banging on about Andy Pandy next, then Spotty Dog, and the Woodentops. All of whom would waltz into our first team, as things stand..

Derby know it is £750k to lever JE away from Ewood. Waggott will see it as another nice little coup for his Lords & masters. Everyone else will know it is yet another shuffle up the gallows staircase for our once proud club.

Aye, but Always Look on the Bright Side of Life. Even when the Waggott's welding the knife,

Laboured, lacklustre, leggy, lightweight, leaderless, lost little lads, lacking leverage in losing like languishing laguards. BbC showed Waggott several times, looking like some deranged bog eyed escapee from Old Gates. The manner of the loss wasn't the issue. It was the inevitability of it. Ah well, let's see if JE can steer us to a decent finish. 15 cup finals here we come.

Just like that. 2 minutes. Lights out at Ewood Park. 😐

Cantwell FFS Toth FFS Playing out from the back. FFS

We are holding our own here, but I'm not sure about Toth. Kargbo looking up for it. Batth imperious at the back so far.

Betting suspended on Eustace for Derby County according to my news feed. Make of it what you will, but if he goes, I think there would be decent odds on the Rams finishing higher than Rovers this campaign.. Back to today.. it is a scratch team, but JE did say he would be throwing in the new boys for this game, and so it appears from the team sheet. If we suffer an embarrassing reverse, Ruby should be hung by the knackers from the statue of Uncle Jack. If we somehow win, then perhaps he could be given the reins, if JE decides to head to the midlands. COYB!

For anyone actually going to the game, just a reminder that Livesey Branch Road is CLOSED at Green Lane, due to a gas main leak which is still under investigation and repair. It will be chaotic due to being the approach to the ground for many of the 4500 Wolves fans making the trip from the MIdlands. There is a diversion in place, but it won't cope well will the extra traffic. Be warned! Be early! And B R F C S forget the gloom and doom sayers, it's a game and we want to win! COYB!

That is very dark. Care to shed some light on your statement?

There's nothing to suggest much interest in this game locally, and certainly nothing on offer to incentivise local participation in the event. It will, without a doubt, be more like a home game for Wolves, than for the Rovers. It speaks volumes of the desperate and disheartening times we are now forced to endure to compare the relative fortunes of today's sides with those from 20 odd years ago, when Wolves made it to the Premier League. We had quality right through the ranks then, and it just goes to show how far we have fallen to think how many of the players in the game above are way better than those we look to for inspiration these days. So, not being funny, but I don't see any prospect of anything other than a defeat tomorrow. Rovers fed to the Wolves: BRFC 1 WWFC 4 Lambs to the slaughter: Bo Peep FC 0 BBW 5 Wolverine meets scratch Team: Rovers 1 Wolverines 3 Not really bothered either way. But wft, COYB!

Forshaw and Rankin Costelloe coming on?? WHAT??

How many Rovers fans have travelled this evening?

Not a lot in this game. Could go either way, so let's see who has got the nerve, the nous and the need. COYB!!

Dolan and Wiemman, off , Cozier Dubery and Cantwell on.

Confident strike there from the lad. Get in!

A traffic cone would be an improvement

So much for keeping it tight at the back. Ah well, shit happens! 😞

Hmm. that didn't go well!

Aye, but Hedges kept running it into one of theirs, losing control, putting the ball out - lots of huff and puff, but no real impact or threat. You need your wide men to create things, for themselves and for the strikers - I didn't feel like Hedges did anything to worry the PNE back line all evening. Watch him get the nod and score a wonder-goal and get an assist for two others this evening (in my wildest dreams) Anyway, COYB!!

I wonder how the squad feels about the additions that have come on board, and perhaps more importantly, how Mr Eustace is disposed towards his new resources? It would be great if he is feeling relaxed and ready to work them into his plans. Tonight I think we need to go back to basics and make ourselves hard to break down. Concentrate on defending properly and hope to nick a goal or two through our ability to move the ball around quickly in counter attacks. The Cantwell / Travis axis will be key to that, and if the Big Mak continues his recent form, there is always the chance of a chance, if you see what I mean. Take it up the R's - QPR 0 - Rovers 1 Rodney Marsh's Revenge - Hoops 2 Rovers 0 Rovers Run Riot- Rangers 0 Rovers 3 Most likely score line is a narrow victory for either side. JE has us working as a team, but although the wheels haven't completely fallen off recently, you feel like there is always that potential, especially when we are so hamstrung through injuries (pardon the pun). COYB!!

Armstrong will tear the Championship a new one. Meanwhile, our search for a striker to add some steel and pace up front...

Squeaky bum time. Complete shit show and once again a demonstration of how NOT to conductt transfer business. Tick fecking Tock... 50 minutes to get something done... Not crossing anything here... Facking amateurs! 😞

wum 😉
