He's basically said he wants a bit of something to do until his house in Cornwall is ready ? Sorry but fuck that, not interested in us being a little gap filler for someone to take them through till retirement.

Exactly. I think those claiming to be ITK these days just make up things that could in theory be plausible and come off but no real meat to the bones. It's a lot different to say 10 years ago when info was quite readily leaked from inside, hell fire I used to get good info from people in marketing and even security staff! Not now.

Charlton have announced our game with them will be one of their £5 a ticket deals. Probably won't be quite the same demand as the League One season but still an absolute bargain in this day and age. Always a good day out too.

Who's it actually come from that the plan was to sell Dack?

Or play actual wide men like Downing or Chapman there and don't make a fairytale signing that's well past his best.

Not sure if everyones seen the videos circulating on social media of them brain dead pricks singing about Jack Walker, just sums them up.

Den Haag would literally be a perfect loan move for Ben. Get his head down out the spotlight, hopefully get played as an actual striker. Also if anyone follows Dutch football the defences on the whole are absolutely garbage apart from the top teams so he will bag a few.

There's going to come a point where Hughton has to lower expectations if he wants another managerial job in this country. Realistically who in the prem would offer him a deal? A return to Norwich if Farke was to leave? Can't see Villa potting Smith likewise Bournemouth with Howe. The other teams round there have relatively new managers or ones whom are safe.

IF we could somehow get him to come to Ewood it would be for a few months. He's said at the start of this season its categorically his last season as a manager for various personal reasons. Perhaps Google the interview.

It's most definitely Mowbray tactics, the trouble is literally nobody from the fans to the player can work out what he's actually trying to achieve from it. It's at the point now where it just looks like sheer stubbornness on Mowbrays part, he WANTS this super tactic to work so will persevere with it endlessly.

Evidently a lot of people feel the same, hence the poor gates. Let's be honest it stems partly from being a mid table team. Even a relegation battle brings a bit more excitement to the table, although no I don't want to involved in another! The only way its possibly going to change is A. new owners, which we know is incredibly unlikely or B. new manager, still seems unlikely to me, but the more likely of the 2. It's like I said yesterday, theres missing thousands out there who if asked which team they support they'll say Rovers, but they aren't 'active'. Then you have the thousands who do attend through blind loyalty who will go season after season in the same seat. I've missed a few home games this season myself but after catching the highlights after and speaking to people who did go, the answer is always that I didnt miss much. Rovers sadly are sliding down peoples lists of priorities.....

Our midfield often escapes criticism. Goalkeeper drops a clanger he gets slated. Strikers miss chances they get slated. We have a plethora midfielders, yet let's be honest, they are creating far too little in the way of chances.

Used to be a group of circa 20 of us with season tickets, every single week I'd get messages asking if there were any spare tickets going. Now? Literally loads of freebies floating about. We have a hell of a lot of people who class themselves as rovers fans if asked, but no intention of attending, unless perhaps we ever get back in that poisonous league.

??? he's Chad-polar

I know its not his fault but he is SO injury prone, we were getting a bit of joy on the right too before he came off.

He can be a pest in and around the box and finish, we may as well be a bit experimental now tbh

What's the worst that can happen?

I'd happily pick him over Holtby tbh, just keen to see what Holtby is made of and give him some game time.

People continue to berate the goalkeeper and full back situation yet neither did anything wrong today (again). No doubt about it Walton had an absolute stinker at Forest but I'd honestly say prior to that he was improving. He's absolutely not the answer no, but scoring goals remains higher on my agenda.

We need a poll Does ANYONE bar Chadddy consider playoffs a possibility l?

Walton Nyambe Tosin Lenihan Bell Travis Johnson Holtby Armstrong Graham Brereton/Gallagher I'd be tempted to give this a whirl next game

A few blokes shouted "you're shit Mowbray"

Broken nose and cheekbone

Well We didn't get beat. Shame we couldn't kick on after the early goal but it is what it is. Their goal was quality, not much you can do about that. Another garbage ref and expect TM will have a little pop at him post match. We now enter a bloody tough run, time to stand up and be counted.

I didn't say anything about organisation or being hard to beat ffs (although form suggests otherwise), he called them out as being entertaining to watch, which even their own fans will admit they are not!
