I remember under Williams basically every penny in went out on wages, which was probably unsustainable in the long run.

Evidently Eustace, Batth and Weimann think it's a higher level...

How long are Rovers fans meant to watch the life being strangled out of their club? I guarantee every other fanbase would be down to the bare bones in the ground, like we are, if they found themselves in our situation.

£60-70k a week?

I'll make a bet now that they'll be in a better situation than is 5 years from now.

Nixon talking about Phillips being whored out again - this time to Sheffield United. Everyone could see it coming when he went to Spurs.

I bet Fulham couldn't believe their luck when Birmingham offered £12m+. This Rowe lad is twice the player.

The Burnley CB has had more of an impact in CM than Morton has. I hold grudges. He was awful for us and has been awful today too.

Peak Morton. Costs us a goal and precedes to lose the midfield for 50 minutes but puts in one good ball so everyone forgets all the crap. Lives a charmed life that lad.

Well that and because they had this Arsenal CF on the bench, but only decided to play him in ET.

Absolutely fallen apart since Morton came on.

Got subbed on for our only CF though and appears to be playing RW - so that was odd.

And because of that they're getting far more sympathy in the press / from the football community than we do. We're literally in football purgatory - at least their nightmare is coming to an end.

They appear content to put in the absolute minimum so we don't fall foul of the authorities.

Drogba is the prototype for me in these systems. Obviously there aren't many of him knocking about!

A few of them look streets ahead of their colleagues. Interesting that Liverpool are selling Quansah - a young, talented, English CB. With the Champions League registration rules you'd think they'd hold onto him for dear life. Anderson won't be at Forest for long, he's fantastic.

He's another small #9 playing upfront on his own. It's what I fear will happen to Leonard and has happened to Ohashi all season - they just don't impact the game enough. You have to be lightning quick, or incredibly intelligent at their size playing against two big CBs.

Premier League clubs? No. Championship clubs? Absolutely.

It's endemic - he's just soft as shite. Anderson looks like he's playing a different sport to Morton. Also do we have anyone else on the bench for Stansfield? He's done nothing.

Why wouldn't someone else come in and gazump is now that they know he's available?

Right, so they've taken a look at him for 6 months and thought "nah".

Not even a youngster. At 23 if he's not made it by now he never will at Brighton.

Morton comes on and immediately gets beaten in the air for a goal. Shite player - absolutely no idea why people rate him.

Fantastic player. I'd be more curious to see which Academies they came out of - I know Elliot, Livarmento and Scott (edit: and Hutchison and Stansfield) aren't at their original teams, I bet they're not the only ones.

That's awful from Stansfield - an absolute tap in.
