This.This.This. A football club needs 11 good footballers who can get results and a manager who gets the best out of them, however it takes. Too many want to be mini Brighton, mini Peps. Styles, brands etc total rubbish. We now have lots of nice Under 23 style players. The project is just sell what we can... We never replaced Graham adequately. Sadly we've put all our eggs in this mantra, of that's how we play. A conversation that never existed 20 years ago.

Thats because nobody has a clue what they are doing Matty and we lurch from one bad decision to another. Football is a simple game, but suits and data bods think otherwise....

I was banned from there. It was very pro venkys and Kean back in 2011/2012, properly got rounded on, made this place look tame at the end and to think this is accused of having a party line

We've "built" or more like reduced a squad to only being able to play 1 way, the way that "increases value" with ever diminishing returns as the players are mentally weak, physically weak and not as good as they or us may think they are. Eustace has clearly got his work cut out if he and the squad feel a change of style is what is needed to dig us out, his eyes will be wide open now. We don't have the players to battle our way out. Especially if JRC out now. I am not going to criticise Eustace , last night was plan B, keep tight and hope for bounce of the ball, the plan B we never saw (but need) under JDT because Plan B is worse then Plan A with this squad. He needed to try and keep a clean sheet and embed that mentality I get that. If Eustace can get to 50 points he will have done a very good job,with this sows ear of a squad. A Mowbray team could have put 5 past us. Thanks Raos.

A trip to the loft this morning. Flickinh through the collecfion . Little dose of nostalgia to add to the thread

Ecstatic with the win. After the turmoil of a week, the players deserve credit. Let's get to 50 points. Still a very long and bumpy road ahead. Going to enjoy tonight , its the feeling we stick about for. We have much bigger battles ahead to win. Venkys Out & Waggott Out

How much would an advert outside one of the test match venues be? Make news both countries? Could we just chuck all the dirt at the club in the direction of the new regulator? Be a test case.... Suhail is in directors most home games. Bulk buying tickets or obstruct his entry to Ewood? A human mass outside directors/players entrance at Jack Walker. None of this works without education on match days. Happy to fund, distribute leaflets or twitter / Facebook targeted ads ?? Whistles and eggs at games........

Weird one with JDT, I dont know what to make of his time , started last year the epitome of pragmatism, lots of 1-0s, (due to Kaminksi) which makes me think he can do it. We're top 3 at Xmas and I want him gone after Burnley debacle. He then demonstrates he can coach and implement a style of play, but we spinelessly tail off and do a 180 on seeing out games. We start this season failing to put teams to away, but yet have the leagues top scorer but can't close the back door. I genuinely think he's a very good coach, with what he has to work with, when it clicks its great, because these are not very good players. If you tell someone results are secondary , implementing a style that makes our players attractive to other teams is priority, how much does that sway this stubborness? Losing Kaminski and going to Pears / Wahlstadt is a huge part in our goals against, anyone's who's played football at any level knows the impact of a good or bad keeper. That's on the club. Ultimately he has still made odd decisions and . Taking Hyam off against Watford at home completely altered the game. He's been our best manager in 13 years and yet gets derided more than Mowbray did , despite his annual death spirals. Injuries haven't helped and I laugh at suggestions he doesn't have a Plan B. Of course he fucking doesn't, look at the bench he has to call on, he's on bare bones. That's on the club. I'll be sad to see him leave, ultimately its a case of what could have been for me. However, projects etc are pie in the sky, anyone with ideals or dreams is wasted here, we just need a pragmatist to keep us up *rinse and repeat* until these fuckers leave. This club is set up to fail. If someone asks me if JDT is a good manager , my stock reply for the last 18 months will remain the same. "I think so, but I just don't know". I'll thank him for showing up the mess the clubs in. I'll take that self preservation it may be over, toeing the line and keeping a cushy number going. *Cough* Mowbray *cough* More of a stream of rambling consciousness than I expected....

There isn't much to remember, probably about an hour in a Rovers shirt, bursting at the seams. Nothing against the bloke. I just think his managerial past in tin pot leagues, probably on strength of his name as a player should be absolutely nowhere near the conversation for our club. Which under these means it's worth putting £20 on

Managed in India ... 😬😬🫣🫣

The EFL and the lawyers must be laughing their heads off at another futile appeal. "Can you believe it, they did it again and they appealed! They want us to believe saved to drafts is submitted 😂😂😂" "Yeah Venkys Tax Return is saved to drafts too I heard"

A big reason why we need experienced pros and not a crèche for our Academy players to tippy tap their value up and other clubs children to play around. I don't think there is that much booing here until it gets really bad. This isn't aimed at you btw. But I think this is what Waggott wanted. Divide and Rule. "Fans blaming players , players blaming fans and fans blaming fans" just writing that, hell what have we become. Let's get it right , nows the time stay focused, not fall.for.if and keep the heat on the Indians lapdog

Thank you

In a normal club or in a normal week , yes. Massively here this is all about context though. It's not normal or I'd argue good for the players to be used as pawns and deflection.

A new low. When you read about players being rolled out to the fans to have a go it's usually at some crackpot Serie B side with a megalomaniac owner and the world is laughing . That's us now. Letting the players take the flak, throwing JDT under the bus and doing everything to quell dissent towards Waggot and the owners. Cowardly , embarrassing and sums up what these cretins have done to our fabulous club. I'm so angry right now. So very angry.

In current guise , perhaps. I will admit being more than disenchanted by a move towards tea and biscuits , a policy of appeasement you might say. However , as a sole body, surely its direction can be determined by the wills of its membership? If enough join and desire protest and a campaign or raising mass awareness. It should be a vehicle to which everyone can get behind. It's remit is to secure the long tern future of Rovers. If it can't highlight issues with the club to the wider fanbase, then is it any better than the fans forum? I'd like to think it can put the right mask on for what is needed. I am a paid up , albeit silent member , I suppose I'd better put the above to them!

Perhaps you are right. I'm as guilty as charged for mocking.

I genuinely think the best co ordination can come from the We Are The Rovers. The more members, the more power/influence it has. I could understand the previous efforts of building bridges wity Waggott , a line from Darkest Hour springs to mind. "you cannot reason with a Tiger when your head is in its mouth" I think it's time the screw is turned and he's left in no uncertain terms about that. FWIW I have confidence they will be doing just that at the urgent meeting that has been requested. From what I've seen from @Miller11 he won't be fobbed off.

Flat Earthers. Entitled to their opinion, even if those who can look beyond the end of our noses and have a memory longer than a goldfish disagree. You have to ask the question, whether it's worth going round their house and creating loads of damage that needs repairing, whilst devaluing the house, perhaps sell the garden to pay for some.of.my damage and lease it back to them? I'll say I was badly advised. They genuinely seem all for it. If they complain, tell them it's their own fault, they aren't committed enough and besides I'll promise to keep the lights on, so they can be grateful it won't be totally pitch black, oh and they aren't allowed to have any money they make, that needs to be used to patch up the hole.I created in the roof (temporarily) sure it means they will.probably stay indebted to me forever but what do they expect?

I always doubted 'bots' or paid shills in relation to Rovers and social media. Just thought there was a lot of naive people. However , seeing that, my eyes are firmly wide open now. I was naive.

Jenny told me I was her only Lancastrian friend 😭💔

🤯🤯 That's actually baffling... Everton and Burnley, poor Marty no wonder he's clearly having a breakdown.

When I read things like this, I can't help but think a lot of it is just a contrarian cry for attention. People love to play the look at me on social media. His first line is all that needs to be said. Penny will drop one day, once the tide turns (and it will) everyone will be posting "superfan" posts about how they are saving the club and have been against venkys from the start. Its just social media bollocks. Give a monkey a typewriter and all that.

Perhaps the twitterati could make him feel better. It was 8/9s out of 10 on there. Of course if you look beyond having a North Korean State TV approach to how you virw Rovers , most in here felt the same as the man who's spent his life in professional football successfully.

3-0 Rovers. A poor QPR coming up North in February, they are worse than us and have been just dodging drop for a few years
