J*B

They’re all over us since we changed formation.

It really is games like this, with stakes like this, where leaders step forward. This team are desperate for one of the attackers to take responsibility on their shoulders and force a goal. Rothwell invisible, Buckley a liability, Gallagher totally useless.

This is absolutely painful get Buckley and Gallagher off they’re hindering us if anything.

Absolutely.

Is “Bradley Dack Saturday” a new-gen football term?

Shocked - but delighted - to hear Travis has renewed, it doesn’t really add up to me that players would sign long term deals with alleged uncertainty around the managers future.

From what I’m told there’s an open secret at Brockhall that Tony stays regardless of this season. Owners trust him, the Rovers staff are built around him, the players like him.

I suspect Ben will be going to play for Chile against Brazil. And they’ll play him despite him still being injured.

Dacks on the bench, will come on for the last 30 I think. And probably score.

Yes, hide the ad?

Didn’t watch tonight because I was working. Wasn’t disappointed because this is oh so predictable. To the away fans travelling to these upcoming matches, I commend you. I can’t bring myself to put myself through it because I feel like it’s so predictable. Which is such a shame.

Buckley? Dolan? I’d be tempted to give JRC one game and if this form continues change formation until one of Zeefuik or Nyambe is back.

We’re talking about two different things here. You said “give it to the fans”. If they did that then it would be bump, quick, like I said. If they sold to a fan led group with back for nothing then yes, I agree with you.

In the latest accounts wages to turnover are at 200%. That’s before any further expenditure. Who is paying for that?

I think I’d be very annoyed if I was a multi billionaire that simply wanted to make a really good football club yet I was restricted about how much money I can spend. Is that an answer?

We’d be on the verge of administration within 90 days.

They’re not the ones missing their targets every single quarter. FFP is almost designed to stop clubs like ours being successful. Until the management team - not the ownership - can work out how to generate significantly more money then we will never be able to financially compete whether we have Venkys, an American billionaire, a Middle Eastern investment group or are fan owned.

Look at their finances and work it out. Clue - massive parachute payments, significantly higher match day revenue, a much more successful corporate operation.

The owners spent 16m quid, the absolute maximum they could get away with, to buy the training ground they already owned off the football club so that we didn’t fail FFP dramatically due to huge overspends by the current senior managements and the impact of COVID. They can’t spend money that they’re not allowed to spend.

It will have snook up on a lot of Rovers fans and potentially players that couldn’t see that our spell in second place was mostly due to us playing more games than our direct rivals.

As it stands Fulham, Huddersfield, Bournemouth, QPR, Sheff United and Luton are all in better positions than us. That’s six teams, for anyone that hasn’t counted.

Very very harsh. One of our better players today and recently.

We need to finish in the play offs before we can even consider winning them…

I was just here to post the same. We have a big striker who has only ever showed anything positive when played centrally with crosses sent in to him. He’s playing left forward crossing balls in to Dolan and Giles.
