Elliot played a behind closed doors yesterday, scored and an assist, think he’ll be back in Liverpools squad shortly, BUT you never know 😜

And do a Derby, sh#% or bust, I don’t think so….

Thought the Dutch full back would have been over the line now, can’t see the problem re isolation, could still sign, think it might be more getting a work permit, much more difficult after brexit. They said last season they would have struggled to sign Kaminski these days, it’s now a points system and unless your a full international it’s difficult.

Think the pandemic might have had something to to with not travelling to India.

Believe Rovers are in the mix for loaning Rhys Williams from Liverpool, currently on loan at Swansea and is not happy as not getting much game time. Hope it’s not because we are selling anyone or Van Heck going back to Brighton but us,Preston and others want him.

Your quite right infrastructure doesn’t affect FFP directly but it’s money coming out the pot, which hopefully can go to new players and better contracts, if indeed they are going for a push in second half of season,unfortunately it doesn’t appear we can do both. But for JRH to keep saying we haven’t improved contracts is really ludicrous just because other things Waggot has said haven’t come to fruition..

Think he said a complete new pitch if we could afford it, obviously they went for the cheaper option, but you have to admit it the pitch has never looked better in December for a long time. Riverside, do you really expect it with the attendances we get at the moment, that’s certainly not sticking up for Waggot just common sense with us round FFP constantly. Back to the contracts, can’t believe you still think they haven’t been offered improved contracts, think everyone knows they have, it’s obviously down to if we are being tight or agents being greedy… probably a bit of both..

Think most fans know all 3 players have been offered improved terms, how you know they haven’t is very strange, the main point is how much have they offered, is it agents/ players being greedy or Rovers being tight. Pointless really arguing if nobody knows the facts, but looks like we will have to wait till January and see how it pans out…

Yeah it does matter a jot, they said they were lining up a striker from abroad which subsequently turned out to be Maja, he failed a medical, end of, it happens, not Rovers fault.

Yeah amazing how many were crying out for Rovers to take one of these instead of Mowbray and you can throw Pearson in as well, strange game.

You’ve got to take the positives out of the last 3 games, if someone said would you take 5 points most would say yes, beat Derby and a point off Fulham and Sheffield. Or would you take 6 points out of the 3 games, yes no brainier, credit to TM picking that side, don’t think many including me would have picked that side, played well and really enjoyed the game, let’s give a bit of credit to the management for a change, COYB.

They can’t get Nyambe and Rothwell to sign simply because they don’t want to pay what the agents want. Now unless you know what’s on the table, I certainly don’t, how can you possibly say if the agents are being greedy or Rovers not paying the going rate. And regarding the news about the STC being sold, you’ve banged on for years saying why don’t we do what Derby and others have done to get more dosh in, as soon as we do it there’s a conspiracy theory going on. Lets think with what the news said,that due to slight alterations on FFP rules it just might be to get some cash injection into the club and who knows keep some of these players that are going out of contract.

Watched the game on Liverpool TV, was very impressed by their commentators who were not biased, unlike most other teams especially Man U, Liverpool bossed the first half and it was mainly all Rovers second half, draw fair result..

I like Ainsworth but don’t think he’s the answer, yes he’s Rovers through and through just don’t think he’s the one, of the up and coming managers the lad at Blackpool seems to be doing a good job, talks sense and like how he sets up.

Wilder for me all day long, but can’t see us getting him, bit of a lottery with getting a new manager, how many on here would have had Hughton, Pearson, McCarthy all of them not worked out.

Looks as though McCarthy could be next for the chop, another supposedly top championship manager who it’s not working out.

Very disappointing result, decent second half but not good enough first, I rarely criticise players unless they aren’t trying their best, not their fault if the manager picks them. Magloire not a r/b and shouldn’t have started, hoping Gallagher would do a Brereton and improve, but unfortunately he hasn’t, should be on bench, more worrying is I heard from a second source last night from the club, that Gallagher is our highest paid player 20 k a week inc his signing on fee,that’s probably why he is playing every week. Also can’t think why Butterworth is not getting more minutes especially after TM bigged him up recently. One positive is anyone can beat anyone in this league and with a few players coming back I’m hoping for a few wins in the next few weeks, when we do get beat it’s the odd goal, not been hammered like some clubs.

🤣

Callum Davidson, IMO top manager, just signed a contract extension but he’ll have some clause in it.

Funny game this football lark, many Rovers fans were saying why can’t we be forward thinking management and go for decent managers like Hughton, Pearson, who on paper are decent championship managers, yet it’s strange why it’s not worked out for them, Bristol not won at home since January and Forrest having a right mare. Sometimes it’s a lottery getting a new manager and that’s why Rovers will have to be on their mettle if TM does go at the end of his contract, the saying, better the devil you know is sometimes true, but I also agree you can be in a job too long. Plenty folk used to say Derby had great owners, compared to us,look what’s happening to them at the moment, so it’s not all doom and gloom at Ewood but obviously it could be a lot better, keep the faith COYB.

Lenihan and Brereton will sign new contracts.

Edun from Lincoln, left back latest rumour

My mate who spoke to Waggot in the premier suite on Saturday and said we were signing one on Monday, also asked him about existing contracts, he said he was very close to Lenihan signing, fairly well down the line with Brereton and said,regarding Nyambe and Rothwell it’s the agent(s) who are trying to move them on. Have to wait on them. Could be talking bollocks or speaking the truth,who knows,time will tell mate ,said he sounded as though he meant it.
