But how?!? We don't know what division we're playing in next season...🙄

Won't get a lot more than 120k for him at that age.

The commentators said something, and I didn't catch the specifics, but along the lines of if we lost it would be the worst run since 1992 I think it was, under a certain Kenny Dalglish. But the run of early conceding wasn't mentioned. I'd imagine it's longer since those sort of numbers we were talking about.

Christ that's abysmal...apart from his first game, that's a goal conceded inside the first 20 minutes every single game, and 5 goals conceded in the first 10 minutes in just 6 games. I can't think of a worse record for starting games for any Rovers manager, at any point in their tenure. Let alone in the fucking honeymoon period!

Probably precisely because of the big improvement. With that and a surge of confidence from not being beaten at 2 down, he will probably feel this could be a turning point for him.

Good news - it did

Highlight of the match- camera switching to Suhail just after the 'Pasha out' banner was unfurled. The shadow man did not look happy!

Is this ref on crack? Guy shoved Travis heavily right in front of him, outcome is Sheff free kick and a booking for Travis? Yes Travis mildly put his hand on him first but the ref didn't blow until Trav was shoved. God the refs in this league are nearly as bad as we are.

They always count all the season ticket holders. Quite a few of whom probably aren't attending.

Before isn't as bad, but still. And he's still a cheeky cunt - the fans asked him to stay away and he gives a pre match interview, which he never does, to ram home that he's going anyway.

That was a good header tbf Ty. Shame I basically don't care at this juncture.

He said what!? After the Boro game?? Cheeky cunt!

Preposterous to not even play him in his natural position too.

Sheffield player should be off.

In the cheapest stand in the ground too.

I'm sorry but the time and the place is inside the stadium during the match. Anything else is too easily brushed aside.

What the actual fuck?!? Given our shitty budget and the importance placed on data science during recruitment (whether you agree with it or not is unimportant, it will be factored in and having a no mark there will be a problem), this is one of the most farcical appointments in a long line of farcical appointments. Mind you, grossly underqualified Rudy Gestede has probably been involved in this hire given his role, and he probably has sympathy for work experience types. Plus he's Indian so bonus point from the owners. What a joke. We should publicise this ludicrous move on social media to add fuel to the fire.

Please tell me you know what logical means.

I was thinking it was odd to sub off a defender in the 88th minute of a 1-0...even odder to swap them for a midfielder who is also the manager.

If he was only 16, therefore on a scholarship and moving to another scholarship, why did we pay so much? Seems excessive for a freshly 16 year old from a middling League Two club with zero first team competitive appearances.

Loanee looks comfortable at that level, gets subbed off, fans are confused as to why...I don't like the sound of that, we've had some loans this year where that was exactly how it went early doors and then they're hardly ever seen again since.

Turned out none of them were. Montgomery was, so clearly been recalled to sit our bench (and probably not play). Bit of a strange one. Also weird, slight side note here, that we only made 2 subs in the first team game tonight. I'm not sure what he saw where he thought 'yes this is going swimmingly'. I'd have rather at least had a few minutes to see one of the youngsters near the end when the game was clearly gone.

What do you mean 'at best' another Championship club? He's been one of the best LBs in the league until his injury, he's not exactly about to drop to League One. At 23 with the potential to improve and already showing he can be one of the best in his position at this level, 2 or 3 million would be a ridiculous bargain for someone. He doesn't need to improve much more to look Premiership ready. His previous CV doesn't really matter anymore. Obviously we're a badly-ran club, and we could perhaps have got an option to buy for 2 mill ish at the time we loaned him. But as you say we've no ambition or forethought.

Unless he's planning to give him minutes tonight (or there was a deadline for recalling him) it seems pretty stupid to recall him now. Just bring him back when he's going to get minutes or is actually needed, and let him get more experience in the meantime. Weird one.
