Pears was awful for both the goals on Saturday. He's not the messiah.

It's a stupid move when you then sell A. Wharton later on in the window.

I didn't want him to leave in the first place, but he's a man of ambition and integrity and he'd been lied to. He rightly jumped on the first life raft out of here.

He's stopped the bleeding - we were losing every week under JDT. Sadly it won't be enough with the teams around us picking up wins.

Until Waggott and the Venkys leave you're asking the wrong question.

Again, absolutely no other teams for miles around - they have a massive catchment area.

All three have reverted to type. Buckley has been caught in possession a few times - I'm amazed that he still dallies on the ball.

Markanday is beyond shite. I'd take Pickering off for Chrisene at half time. Watching Pickering try to run back is painful, he's so slow and unathletic.

Hasn't been tested at all.

That's a red card - the bloke scissor-tackled Buckley.

A well run club doesn't turn down £2m for him from a desperate Ipswich. Sadly we're not well run.

Gallagher isn't fighting for the ball at all. Getting absolutely bullied.

Millwall time wasting from the start. They're here to nick a win.

You might have a gambling problem.

Pickering at LWB when he doesn't have the athleticism to get up and down the flank. Worrying times.

Clearly we're never going to see eye-to-eye on this topic.

So you're comparing yourself to the Venkys then? Cos the only comparable situation is that you've employed him as your gardener then given him 50p to do a £500 landscaping job.

Did he? Surely that means we don't have to pay him anymore - which is pretty honourable of him.

Who cares what PNE fans have to think? They're desperately trying to force a rivalry that simply isn't there. As I repeatedly say - Rovers are lucky to have any fans after 13 years of gross mismanagement by the owners.

If he keeps us up he'll set us up as your typical mid-table Championship side - physical, good at set pieces, defensively sound and hard to beat. Hardly aspirational football, but that's the budget they've set.

If they'd have stumped up a suitable loan fee, undoubtedly. I think some of you are clearly missing how dire our finances are and how much they're dictating our transfer business. We loaned out Travis and sold A. Wharton in the same window - that's not a decision by the Director of Football and the Head Coach.

You can't really compare the tenures - until his last year here, Mowbray was allowed to splash the cash. You've just dismissed a whole load of players as 'they were all a million or less', yet Broughton is hung for Wahlstedt. Markanday cost £500k. Edun cost similar. Samuel the same. He had a budget that JDT and Broughton could only dream of - they've never been allowed to bring in an Ayala, or an Elliot / Reed / Harwood-Bellis / Adarabioyo (we don't fish in that top-level PL loanee pool anymore). Never been allowed to spunk £400k on their mate's son in Pears. Never been allowed to bring their smoggie friend, Downing, in on considerable wages after allowing him to miss all pre-season. Broughton and JDT spent less than £4m on three very good Championship players in the first year (Szmodics, Hyam and Brittain), then the taps were turned off. It's as simple as that and we're seeing the results on the pitch.

Their defenders must be slow af - he moves like he's running in treacle.

You see those goals from Rashford and Foden and realise we're a million miles away from where we were.

He was awful again today. He's such a bad athlete he makes Dolan look quick. I feel for him as he's being asked to play out wide in space, but he's just not a quality option off the bench for us in this league.
