Completely agree. I wasn’t a huge fan when he first joined, as he often stood motionless in games and looked unsure, but he’s grown on me. I like him. He doesn’t dodge questions and his interviews don’t appear hurried.

If Derby can do it, so can we!

Adam Forshaw being the exception!

We just cannot entertain losing Travis, Tronstad or Brittain in addition to those who have already left. Every new player deserves a fair chance in a Rovers shirt before being fully judged, but the signings we've made and the latest rumours are a bit of a concern! Based on 24/25 stats: Signed: Sidnei Tavares 33 appearances, 1 assist & 1 goal playing in the Portuguese top division with a club finishing 10th of 18. Signed: Dion De Neve 32 appearances, 3 assists & 2 goals playing in the Belgian top division with KV Kortrijk who were relegated finishing 15th of 16. Rumoured: Marwan Al-Sahafi 28 appearances, 1 assist & 6 goals playing in the Belgian top division with Beerschot who were relegated finishing 16th of 16. Rumoured: Sivert Mannsverk 20 appearances, 1 assist & 0 goals playing first two games of the season for Ajax before moving on loan to Cardiff who were relegated finishing bottom of the Championship. Coincidentally that one assist was for the opening goal in our 2-1 loss to Cardiff! Hard to be positive at the moment.

Oh, then that’s perfect. Just looked at it online and thought why have they ruined it! Looks a nice shirt.

Genuinely would have bought it, if it didn’t have the Venkys logo on the sleeve.

Just hope it’s not Derby he goes to. Their deluded fans are driving me mad on social media thinking they are going to be a top six club all of a sudden!

Humble pie time for me. Wasn’t Ismael’s biggest fan and was incredibly critical of him. However, he has overseen some great results in recent weeks and more importantly, it seems like he’s bonded with the players. Kudos to him. Who knows what next weekend will bring, but regardless of the result, this squad of players, who we all predicted would be involved in a relegation scrap this season have done the shirt, club and supporters proud. My favourite season since the Hughes era. 🔵⚪️🔵⚪️🔵⚪️

Ismael wouldn’t look out of place in Madame Tussaud’s. He’s got absolutely nothing about him. Stands there frozen in time. Cannot stand him. Eustace may have had an average squad overachieving but this bloke will take us down next season, no doubts at all on that.

Said so many times this season that under Eustace I was back to the enjoyment of the Hughes era. Not based purely on the results, but just lost all enthusiasm under Ismael. Was prepared to give him a chance but it’s awful, just awful. Completely lost interest.

Can’t really add anything that hasn’t been said, but the future looks bleak. Two managers in Eustace & Lowe at least produced some results with these players. They look so un-interested under Ismael and the passing is absolutely woeful. Every time the camera panned to Ismael it looked like the tv had paused. Would have been encouraging to see some kind of fight from him. Poor appointment confirmed for me.

What the f?!k was that Hyam? Sunday league level f?!k up.

Forshaw’s passing been so sloppy today. Constantly giving it away.

Let’s give him a chance before all the negative comments.
