Another player ive never heard of...although I could say that about 80% of players in the championship...presume this guy is a winner and not another 10 to clog up with cantwell and henrikssen. Has he got any pace? Big worry for me is lack of any championship experience and probable language barrier amongst players now.

This teams gonna finish bottom of the league. Shit cheap players no one has every heard of. Cheap manager. Also think there's some discontent in the dressing room hence the mass exodus. Dark dark times. My local club morecambe have been run into oblivion by a corrupt owner. Well be next.

When did Kyle Walker go to burnley!!?

I see QPR have just paid £2.5m for a winger. No chance we'll ever pay them sort of fees. Can't even compete with QPR now.

Just back from the game. Thats the worst rovers side ive ever seen. Apart from Tavares and Miller there is no one of any quality. Absolute relegation fodder on that showing I'm afraid. Slowly being run into the ground. Replace anyone of value and experience with unknowns from foreign leagues shows in the team now. Henriksoon looks an absolute plodder. Could barely control a ball. Young lads not fit for first team yet. I think there must be something rotten going on in the background. I know we probably dont offer the best wages but it seems any established players want out of the club now. We shouldn't be loosing established players like we are to the likes of Derby.

I'm intrigued to see if Yuki and gueye can kick on a bit more after a proper pre season and more time to adapt. Id personally rather see us go all out for a proper winger with pace than an expensive CF. Its hard to Judge the forwards when they had Dolan and Hedges supplying them. Yuki got 11 last season in his first season with a long injury lay off as well. A lot of unkowns in the side to start the season. Will it be a pleasant surprise or an absolute shocker?

Anyone know what sort of player the sweedish lad is? Attacking, defensive? There must be a CM due out the door now. Hopefully its Buckley and not trav!

I'm not that fussed about Weimann, He chipped in with a few goals, but he also didn't offer much in terms or running, pressing etc and is another year and another injury later. Id rather replace him with someone younger. Bath is a big loss though, both on the pitch and off it. Real shame he sees Derby as a better option. Sign of where we are at these days.

I think something like that would be the only saviour. The club is never going to be big enough to climb the football ladder like Wrexham etc, so its never going to get into the big money leagues. Always likely to be a loss maker. The only viable buyer would be if a fan of some sort took it over. Must be a similar story with most lower league teams.

My local club. A real shame. Was once a family club that overachieved and competed well in League 1. Taken over by a dodgy bloke with a history of running businesses into the ground and even liquidating other sports clubs. Absolutely terrible the amount of dodgy owners with alternative motives in the English leagues. Its not just Rovers that suffer with this.

Lost interest in this bunch of chancers and journeymen. Self sabotage again from the crooks above. Gonna stop following results now. Pay for bargain basement players with bargain basement manager...get the results you deserve. Rotten to the core.

Embarrassment from top to bottom. Very unlikeable club...rovers that is.

If there was ever a team that's odds on to loose against the shittest sides it's rovers. Without fail, consistently loosing against the worst sides in the league. I think this time next season it will be very bleak

Think he could have done a decent job in the no 10 or free role position cantwell plays. I'd wager he'd chip in with more goals than Cantwell who isn't exactly tearing it up. Never fit though unfortunately. Always wondered how injured he actually was or just didn't fancy sitting on the bench.

Have any of you guys joined the Venkys out group on Facebook? Theyre asking people to print Suhail and Waggot out posters and bring them to the game.

This is definately a rovers typical banana skin. Bottom three but theyve won their last two. Perhaps the ideas of the new manager are beginning to sink in. However, I hope they dont go cautious and play hedges and Weiman from the start. Is Beck fit? Pears Brittain Hyam Bath Beck Travis Buckley Dolan Dennis Kargbo Gueye

That statement by the club is an absolute disgrace. A bunch of short term loans and freebies come in and half the squad out of contract. It's an abomination they think we're in a good place. I can't blame JE one bit. If I wasn't a fan and it was just a job I'd have tucked off long long ago.

In my mind, they deliberately keep us shit. Any sniff at improvement, they take away. I genuinely think they want to keep us as a loss making entity for some financial reason like Tax. If you make a loss you can offset a bunch of taxes that end up saving you money overall....especially if youre worth billions.

Two exciting managers in a row have now seen through the board and given up. I initially wondered why hed leave to go to Derby, but its pretty obvious after reading the LET article. They sell and Re-invest. We have 13 players out of contract or on loan. I said a couple of months ago I genuinely think the club will slip into oblivion/administration in the not too distant future. This might be the start of it. Some sort of mass protest needs to be held. The board, Waggot and Venkys get off too easily. Its not even been mentioned in the media for years other than the LET.

QPR are doing what we usually do. Play well don't take your chances and conceded a sucker punch! Hoping Gueye can nick another at the end! Get the new lad on!

If they won't spend when we're in the top 6, no FFP restraints and banking £40m in transfer fees then they never will. I genuinely think well go into oblivion under venkys in the not too distant future. They've lost all interest even compared to the Mowbray days. Can see L1, L2 and administration at some point. JE will do the same as JDT at the end of the season. Sad times after a promising start.

Hoping gueye gets on the scoresheet today. If he can get a bit of confidence to be a bully in the box he could be a handful. A proper winger in the side helps.

First time at Ewood last night for quote a while. Thought we battled well and it was an even game even though west Brom had the better chances. I said I'd think both teams would take a draw before the game and that's how it turned out. Observations are similar to everyone else. We're desperate for some pace to get in behind. There's none anywhere on the pitch apart from Beck and Carter at the back Think Cantwell could pick them out if anyone was capable of making the runs. There's no get out ball when we're under the cosh. Hedges and Dolan get on the ball plenty and look tidy, but don't really do anything with it. Saw pears got good reviews...not sure why. He made a couple of routine saves at the end but almost cost us in the first half taking too long to clear his lines then fumbled a cross and took out Travis. Still looks a fumble waiting to happen. Beck is unbelievable better than Pickering. Tenacious and has the pace to cover. It's no coincidence we're defensively better since he's come in. JRC is far too slow on the ball imo. Just doesn't look like an athlete.

Surely with Gueye, his main threats are occupying defenders and in the air. I think a quick winger staying wide and getting crosses into the box would suit him, rather than our slower build up with very few crosses. Id still have him as the lone forward than Osashi who isnt as physical.

Didnt watch the game, but not a great result given they had 10 men for so long, and a turgid performance by the sound of it. However, not loosing away from home is a good habit. We'd have lost games away to Preston not long ago. This all rests on winning your home games. Not sure why he played a CM on the left wing again. All the build up had been that Preston struggled with pace, and we left it on the bench (not that there is much!).
