Nobody does. Including those at the club.

My guess, is JRC.

It's been a great 2 weeks since that Sheffield Utd game. I think this will be one game too far for our fragile squad though, Toth, Wharton and Tronstad missing on top of Cantwell makes this game really difficult for us I think. Expect Riberio to come as the left sided centre back with McLoughlin moved to the centre. Derby are in even better form than us too. Felt at the start of the season that this would be one of the biggest humiliations of the venkys era with out ex manager, staff, captain & god knows how many players coming back on our birthday to take the piss. Rovers 0 Derby 2 Hope I'm wrong.

I bet we don't. That will be 14 consecutive away defeats by promoted sides.

Strange career by looks of it. 159 games in 13 year professional career. Also had plenty of academy experience at different clubs ranging from under 14s-21s. If it is him appointed for this role, I'm taking an early shot that he will be the first teams next "head coach" when they have no use for Ismael anymore.

Absolutely no chance they get, or want Toth to sign a new deal. Be wanting to offload him in the summer especially if he keeps up this form.

No I don't. Predicted we will be in trouble this year, which we are. Never said that last season, thought our midfield of Travis and Tronstad was a strong pairing. Seen nothing to suggest two from TGH, Baradji, Taveres & Montgomery would be anywhere near good enough for this level next season, and wouldn't be great for the league below. Appreciate there is plenty of time before that though.

Last season did buck the trend a bit on that to be fair, away midweek wins at Middlesbrough, Sheffield Wednesday & WBA.

We'll be in huge trouble again if they are the midfield options next season, regardless of what league we are in.

Also beat them 2-0 under Lambert in December 2015, Hanley and Marshall the scorers.

To make it look like we are in control. Remember, Ismael said on a few occasions how he didn't want any loans. This way, we get a loan in without him looking daft. Lets see what happens, I don't believe they will make it permanent. Bardji, I bet they will.

He's on big wages apparently. I think this is a loan deal rushed through on deadline day with no desire to make it permanent.

Very little I guess. Maybe he's a set piece "analyst" instead of coach as he will spend most of his time analysing other teams routines for ideas and also for when we play against them etc.

Seen that Derby have sold 2700 tickets and have been told that Rovers won't let them have any more.

We're averaging one win per block before the International breaks, so I imagine that's us done until December win wise.

I imagine, if anything were to happen to Ohashi or Gudjohnson, then we would probably play two 10's say Cantwell & Morishita behind the forward and keep the back 3.

The two greyed out areas at each side haven't gone on sale, it's just those two blocks where is loads of blue seats. I would estimate at about 300 sold.

His name was actually Jorge Gonzalez Diaz

Happened over a week ago didn't it?

Agree with the rest but I dont think this bit is particularly fair. He was more happy than anyone on the pitch after the game. I think Tronstad has struggled a but this season, if you think back to last season he had Dolan and Brittain to the right of him, Travis next to him and Batth and Hyam behind him. I feels like he's trying a bit too much more this season as the quality around him has dropped quite drastically and its having an affect on his game. Still one of our most important players, just needs to get back to doing what he was so good at last season.

Admin talk is irrelevant here, venkys will never allow that to happen as it puts them out of control. We'll just limp on like this for the rest of time at a lower and lower level every few years.

Looks like Sheffield Wednesday will be deducted 10 points shortly as they are heading into administration today. Be a tough 2-3 years or so for them while they rebuild, but I would bet everything I own that they will be league or two higher than Rovers by the time we get into the next decade.

You would think so wouldn't you. Yet I know adults who have changed there club to Accrington Stanley over the past 15 years, and one who changed there club to Harrogate so anything's possible!

That's how I am. I only have the one lad who is nearly 16, and he's every bit as invested in this shitshow as I was at his age. I think if he eventually gets fed up and doesn't want to go that might be me done too. Sad times.
