I imagine the Reading owner was sat in the stand.

Remember Rovers fans on the pitch exactly like this, shouting FOX OUT in front of the Nuttall Street Srand.

Of course he was present and there was someone to hurl the frustration at.

Oh if we knew then what we know now.

Whilst our owners are completely absent, there is nowhere to direct such action.

It would have to be a televised game abandoned to create even a ripple of attention with these cun7s.

Wrexham game is the one.

One time I do agree with Philipl. 

10pts will be enough to see us through and we will pick up the odd result along the way to help it.

The sides in the bottom 3 won't all of a sudden start to win every week.

I really was hoping for a decent season this time around with another play off push. This result really is a kick in the teeth without mentioning the past few games. How long before we start seriously considering managerial changes?

Even if JDT was to go, the next appointment will just have to follow the same brief of "playing the right way" and I just don't see us being any better off.

The days of us employing an Allardyce style organiser to see us through are long gone I'm afraid.

Could of been that I forget.

Ridiculous discussion either way and has made me skeptical of the FF ever since. (Sorry @K-Hod!)

Not sure I agree that you can't replace Gallagher for that kind of money, when you look at some of the top scorers in the league. Morgan Whittaker was around £1m. Jack Clarke reported to be £750k. Crysencio Summerville reported to be around £1.25m. Conor Chaplin around £750k. Our own Sammy Szmodics was £1.8m according to the Peterborough chairman.

Good deals can be done if recruitment is up to scratch. Our current recruitment team's record on strikers is pretty appalling thus far though, so would I trust them to find a decent striker with £1.5m? Probably not. Besides of which, we'd probably see none or barely any of the money anyway, making selling Gallagher a pointless exercise.

The question should have been how do you replace Gallagher with £0?  Because if we get 1.5m for him we won't be seeing any of it.

Might aswell keep him and have an experienced striker on the books, we're in enough trouble as it is on the pitch.

Don't take anything only2garners has to say seriously, same bloke who said to waggott and Co at the FF that we should put match day tickets up by £3 a game instead of charging the old waggott tax of £3 after 12pm on match days that we used to do.

Not like you to try and brush off everything the Club does as acceptable.

As a member of The Trust I’d like Steve Waggott to urgently, on the record, clarify:

1) The current situation RE the owners legal issues with the Indian Government

2) When is the latest the owners reasonably expect the issue to be resolved

3) Confirmation as to whether or not the budget reduction from the owners will be reallocated to the club once the issue is resolved

4) Whether or not given the restrictions he believes the owners would entertain discussions about the sale of the club

These will never be answered.

It is my sad duty to report that having had to endure that garbage at the Hawthorns today that Rovers are going to be relegated 

11 players who have given up and not fighting for their shirt or the club 

I will still take that bet.

10pt buffer will see us through.

Next season though 🫣

Just back.

An absolute shambles from start to finish.

I would sell Gallagher for £1.5m if we can reinvested the money and bring in players with it .

Come on Chaddy what on earth makes you think we will reinvest that money. 

If it was to happen your looking at a loan player at best.

In fairness to Gallagher we didn't cross him a ball for about 3 years.

 

He himself was tasked with putting the crosses in for those 3 years, for giants like Armstrong and Dolan in the box.

I imagine Lancs police may object.

Over 6k came from Preston on a Friday night, can't see why this would be any different to that?

Shrewsbury v Wrexham was 2pm Sunday on S4C.

It was, but that didn't clash with any of the ITV/BBC games, if that is a condition then i notice there is nothing in the Saturday 530 slot for that day so it could well go there.

I think we're lucky that we have that 10 point buffer and think that and picking up a few more results in the next 20 games will see us through. I do think we'll be looking over our shoulder but don't see us entering the bottom 3 at all.

Next season is the big worry if the transfer window's follow suit from this season.

WBA  2   Rovers   2

It's time for a draw, well concede early and late but be 2-1 up in between.

We drew the last game, with that ratio our next draw will probably be in April!

Connor O'Riordan in jeopardy?

Unless we ship someone out for some actual cash, i would imagine so.

Can't see anything here considering we concede at least two a game.

WBA 3 Rovers 0

How does he feel about losing 1-3?

Well we have conceded 2 goals a game since November 28th and haven't changed anything, so I presume he's ok about it?

25 minutes ago, DE. said:

Indeed, if you look at our goals scored column it's perfectly reasonable compared to other teams in the division. The primary issue is the goals against column which is second-worst in the entire division. We need to find a way to grind out scrappy 1-0 wins when required - mainly because due to a weak mentality we can't win when we go behind, so scoring first is a must.

JDT has repeatedly said that he would rather win 4-3 than 1-0.

If he was going to tighten up the side with an extra midfielder or something I think he would have done it by now.

So got a L2 side at home AND a glamour tie.

Going to get punished for all this good fortune with Plymouth or Brentford away in the 5th round...

A glamour tie?!

It's a 4th division, welsh side at Ewood.

I have a feeling the shit could hit the fan this month. If three months on the investigation has moved forward, then despite the apparent precedent set, this time they could have the request to transfer yet more money into a bottom less pit declined. 

No chance.

We'll just keep bobbing along like this forever.
