That's your opinion. I stick to mine. Tell to move on if you asking me. 

so if he isn't the man to take us forward, who is then? any choices? 

 

It isn't "opinion" if Eustace was in charge against Stoke or not.

Facts tell us that he wasn't, he started work the following Monday morning.

Probably the least nervous I have ever been before a big game, like the 10/11 season against Wolves due to the amount that would have to go against us for us to drop.

I liken this season to that 2010/11 season where we doing well under Sam, and were actually 7th in the Prem as late as mid January before k*an got his chops fully into the side.

From there we slowly drifted towards the bottom end of the table without really looking like going down, but we still needed something on the last day just to confirm it. Whilst we did end up winning to confirm it, we could have lost 15-0 and still not gone down thanks to the sides below us losing.

That's exactly how I see tomorrow going. Although we all know what happened the year after that 10-11 season and I think next season will follow the exact same pattern.

More chance of signing Jimmy Hill.

Does anyone think we will survive?

Yes, because someone else will do the job for us.

I'll be amazed if we get anything from this game - so are entirely in the hands of others. I think/hope we may just survive.

Confident ?  No.

I'm much more confident  relying on others than our bunch to be fair.

If we had to win to stay up and every other other result sent us down it would be game over, the fact that only one of three sides below us needs to lose has me confident.

Been asked various times down the years on the walk to the ground and to be fair iv'e done it myself a time or two at away games.

That time at Ewood though was really suss, not sure we were on line but ticketing agencies existed and i suppose it was bulk buying on the phone.

It was the era of the super touts after all but it just amazes me the club didn't notice !

They were a bit thick in regards to tickets back then, remember the Celtic away debacle a couple of years later!

Any mention on whether he is going to appeal his red card so he can be in the dugout on Saturday?

I heard the club are "looking into it".

How many tickets did we get  for this fixture ?

 

Just over 2k I believe.

A key reason why we finished 7th/8th and not higher, he’s garbage.

I wouldn't say he is garbage, just a bang average championship left back who is probably at home at a side somewhere in between 16th & 8th,

I've said we will stay up by the skin of our teeth ever since we got dragged into this mess, and that's just because other sides will do our job for us.

Leicester 2 Rovers 0

Sunderland 0 Sheff Wed 2

Plymouth 0 Hull 2

Birmingham 1 Norwich 1

Stay up by 2 points, and a big thank you owed to our previous manager for working miracles with this bunch until December.

You have to fancy Sheff Wed to get something so we can rule them out.

I just don't see Plymouth and Birmingham winning, infact I don't think either will.

I have no doubts we will stay up.

But it won't be down to anything we do.

Us losing and all the other 3 results going against us seems far fetched to me.

One of them will mess up.

As predicted we're going to limp towards safety and will be saved by someone not winning below us.

No way do Plymouth and Birmingham both win next week they are both as bad as us.

Prepare for a horror season next season, possibly the worst in our history.

Coventry - knackered, injuries galore and nothing to play for

Leicester- already promoted and likely champions before we play them

Couldn't ask for two better games to finish with, up to you now lads.

Then after the game the manager and players say "we have an incredible opportunity next week to put it right". Well guess what dickheads you have run out of games.

I think this lot are very lucky that we're running out of games, as I think that is what will end up keeping us up by the skin of our teeth.

If the season had another month left we would be destined to drop this season.

When it happens I fully expect lies of it's safety to be made up to justify the closure. 

Well I sit there so don't want it to close, I'm just amazed they haven't seen the opportunity to close it yet.

I'm still amazed they keep the Riverside open with there love of shutting stands. 

Surely it can't have that much longer left especially with dwindling ST holders next season?

IMO, it's very likely we will be in administration come 31 August.

I'll take that bet, not a chance.

I'll be amazed if the club listen to anything the supporters groups have put forward to be honest.

Fully expecting a "price freeze" of £429 to start with (which is £50 more than i paid last season, so not a price freeze at all), and then maybe the small increase after 1 pay day.

Unfortunately with no doubt plenty more budget cuts in the summer, just staying up will be seen as a good job from now on. 

Considering the ease at which Stoke dismantled Plymouth last week I don't see Milwall having any problem with them.

Plymouth get 1 point at best for me over the next two games.

It such a strange feeling.... feels like we are definitely going down. But somehow bookies have us at 10/1 - I guess just due to all the permutations. So we will probably survive unless the bookies have all lost their minds.

Said on this thread a few times that I have never thought we were going down this season, just the sheer amount of sides in and around us will keep us up.

Anyone apart from Szmodics would have some neck to say they don't want to play in league one after there performances from December onwards.

Saw somewhere they've already sold 4,000 tickets which is bad news for Rovers as Mark Robins (he's that kind of guy who wont want to let their fans down) will ensure his side are 'at it' irrespective of whether they have a play-off chance or not.

Hopefully after the deflating Wembley experience and another game on Wednesday night we will just be a game too far for them.
