I don’t know whether this had already been asked so I apologise if it has, but how does the present second half of the season compare with 91/92 when we went up with Dalgleish? I seem to recall that we were coasting the league had some bad injuries such as David Speedy and then our form just fell away and we fell out of the playoffs. When the injured players returned our form bounced back and we just about made the playoffs and ultimately promotion. I mention this as history seems to be repeating itself. Could we yet see a resurge in form with Dack and Diaz back and get promoted? Maybe all is not yet lost, remember Rovers always like to do things dramatically!!

The officials are poor but are giving us absolutely sod all.

If he had acquired a proven goal scorer as a back up he wouldn’t be in this position. With little money available an ageing one, a League one goal scorer or a really good loan could have made all the difference. He was relying too much on BBD and even if he hadn’t been injured it was unlikely he could have kept scoring at the rate he was. There are too few players in his squad who are capable of scoring more than one or two goals a season so another person who could score was essential. He was unlucky with Markanday getting injured but he was always a gamble.

Don’t worry Coventry’s chances will be right back on track when they beat us after the international break.

Yes and SG part II Ryan Hedges! He came on gave the ball away and then completely disappeared from the game.

Maja for Stoke is doing well. Is that 2 or 3 goals he’s scored so far. TM didn’t want to sign him because he thought he would be too rusty, so he gets nobody. What a genius!!

I know this is on sky but I am in a country where I should be able to receive a stream. Is anybody else not getting a stream? Also how do I complain to Rovers Tv there doesn’t seem to be a way of communicating with them?

What an idiot TM is.

If we are having so many corners why didn’t he put Ayala on?!!

If you don’t mind me asking, how are you watching this game. I can’t get access on Rovers TV. I’m in Luxembourg.

He has a good shot on him, but they all seem to go high and wide. I don’t think he has made a keeper make a save yet, the nearest he came was crashing his shot against the bar. Also, as you said he is greedy, like Armstrong, but without the rewards. He seems to have a little bit of pace and trickery, but generally loses it in the end. He doesn’t seem to be a team player though as he doesn’t look to set other players up when in possession. He’s not match fit maybe because he has not had enough game time. He definitely looked off on Monday night, but maybe he was carrying a slight injury, but was drafted in because they were so short of numbers. His greediness maybe because TM tells him to shoot on sight because of his shooting ability. I think that there is a player there, but he needs a good loan spell to build his confidence, strength and stamina.

Agreed, people think there are conspiracies everywhere.

I think with that team we would definitely win!! 12 against 11 should do nicely. 👍😂😂

TM kept playing Rothwell on the wing for ages and then converted him into a central midfielder. Hedges has a fair bit of pace I believe so who knows?

Possible Rothwell replacement?

Last day £2M bid and bring him home.

How do you know?

I tend to agree and he is 27 which doesn’t seem to fit our recruitment policy, but he has been on fire this year and it would be a real statement of intent if they signed him. They could do a deal to sign him on loan which is converted into a permanent deal at the end of the season. They did that with Brereton.

A wild guess, but Siriki Dembele from Peterborough maybe. His contract is up in the summer I believe, so is our sort of signing and is only 25 (?).

Offer him a two year deal and then loan him out for the rest of the season.

Yes he is certainly limited, but as you say he would suit our present style and he is a very good finisher. He is older and we are trying to build a young hungry side, based on pace on the counter attack. Maja is a very good prospect if he is fully fit, but is he rapid?

This link will give you a very good insight into his strengths and weaknesses. Pace is mentioned as one of his strengths. https://totalfootballanalysis.com/player-analysis/rhys-healey-at-toulouse-202122-scout-report-tactical-analysis-tactics

He has been compared to Vardy at Leicester. btw how can you write him off so easily without having seen him?

If we show real ambition it may persuade our contract rebels to sign new contracts.

Maybe it means Souttar is coming, although the Scottish papers are saying he’s going to Rangers.
