Feel for Dyche, done miracles keeping a championship standard team up for years and has never been backed as he should to kick on like when they miraculously got into Europe. Think this season might be a step to far for them, if we went up and they went down that would be absolutely hilarious although I wouldn’t mind playing them again sometime soon! 

Where i have seen this situation before... Hmmm

Venkys now face THE biggest Acid test of their tenure at this Club...we are in a fantastic position and our hand is strong.

They either back us for Promotion,and the financial riches that would follow,or they sell for short term gains and wreck our best chance in a decade.

January.....do or die,shit or bust.

personally think if they dont back Mowbray now, then it will clearly show there lack of ambition once again. Imo, if they dont come through now, they might as well just finally call it quits and sell the club.

I'm actually the sort who would do what is best for all parties. He will get his sunny move but he should remember those who have helped him along the way and repay them too, as without them he doesn't get his dream. It's a sad indictment of today's world that people often forget the role of others and shaft them for their own gain. If that were tried with me, I'm hard enough to extend his contract and ban him from the club, saying enjoy 18 months off, let's see who will sign you after no games/training for 1.5 years.  We don't need the money, we'll sign Tony Watt 👍 see you later.

This is not how football works...  If Fifa/Uefa had to say, every club only has a max salary of 35k per player, do you think players would move that often? Fact of the matter is this, our only hope is that we can convince BBD to sign and extension, and that he can lead us to the PL,  and then see if he wants to stay or not. If he still wants to leave, great, we can take an offer of 25 to 30 mill for him, and still be happy about it.

Barnsley are one of the three teams we haven't scored against this season so I'm expecting a tough, uncompromising side here who will probably come to kill the game at every opportunity. We should have enough to beat them though with the same team and formation which has served us so well over recent games.

You know us right lol 

I think the squad as a whole maybe needs 1 or 2 new solid additions, at most 3. 

But the additions need to strengthen the team, and be able to get the team to the PL. The players we sign, we need to ask, are they good enough to play at PL level, or is the championship the best they can offer?

Who we sign, needs to be on par or better than what we currently have, because that will ensure that we don't sign players just to fill numbers. We have been here before, where we sign players, who just come into make the squad full.

Still livid about the shit show yesterday.

We were literally 10 minutes from Hull when they announced it. No doubt the rearranged fixture will be a Tuesday night meaning I'll struggle to attend as I'm sure many others will as I saw quite a few fellow fans with children.

Is it really that hard to put a sensible deadline in place to stop fans wasting both time and money, this isn't a one off, it keeps happening.

Do you think Hull would want 3000 Rovers fans on a Saturday again? It will definately be a midweek game, where most of those who were going to attend, unable to make it. 

You add Arma to the attack, and you immediately have different options to attack the opposition.

Well this next few games could tell us a lot then, as we play Luton & Hudds in the next 4, all of which are eminently winnable & could really consolidate a play off spot at least; what progress that would be.

I'd like to think that the confidence gained from the response to the Fulham embarrassment outweighs those other disappointments, but we'll see; confidence is a fragile thing...

These games still make me nervous. Knowing us, games we should be winning, we would normally have lost in the past.  So im hoping that with our recent run of form, that we have learned to treat these games seriously.

They did it because the EFL allows them to do it with their rules.There have been many games called off in similar situations but the clubs involved are simply being compliant. Testing at 10.30 is too late when you consider the results have be sent to the EFL who make the decision. If the players had been tested today at 8 am this (and other) situations could have been avoided.

The EFL shouldnt allow any teams to be testing that late on the day of the game. I mean, what difference would it have made, if the players were tested 4 hours before the game? Is Hull saying, that these players suddenly got Covid 2 hours before kickoff?

Hedges set to sign ?

16 goals in 79 matches in the Scottish league is a bit underwhelming aint it... What was David Goodwillies record when we signed him? 

As per Waggot: we couldnt sign the striker, because he was injured, but the other players we signed are or were injured lol 🤣

Hard to think of a poorer window than this one. The owners simply haven't backed the manager with any money and have clearly told the board to reduce the wage bill. Our wage structure is just not competitive at this level anymore. 

Our starting 11 is decent but our squad is very poor. 

Do you know what Mrs D said when they bought the club? Her vision has finally been realised

I don't mind Sam Gallagher leading the line at this point, but I'm unsure whether we have enough good finishers to stay competitive. I think we have a mid-table manager managing a mid-table squad, so that's where my expectations lie. There used to be a video on the Rovers website with finishing challenge. Can't find it now, but it sums up Sams abilities inside the box.

 

Not too fuzzed about Rhys Healey not joining, if that story is correct. Either someone more proven or someone who can develop into the next Arma for me.

He can lead the line, so too Breo. Hell, Nyambe can lead the line up front as well. At the end of the day, is can they put the ball in the back of the net consistently, to compensate for the loss of those Arma goals. We have seen thus far, that the answer is no.

Yes on paper it looks like one of the all time worst transfer windows.

But... It's possible that the signings turn out better than expected in the same way Douglas and Trybull turned out to be worse than expected last year. Also it's possible suddenly players who looked terrible before (hello Gallagher) suddenly look better as they are played in proper positions.

Will not really know until November. But I'm not hopeful.

Thats if the fool plays Gallgher and Breo as proper CF. It wouldnt surprise me, if he plays Tayo and Khadra as the strikers

if only we had proper people in charge, we could have gone in for Alex Collado 😒

He could have been playing with Ben Brereton Diaz.. Too bad for him then

Does this Khadra play in the same position as the lad we've just got from Leeds?

Khadra is a now a CB

Just now, Wing Wizard Windy Miller said:

The disappointing thing is these lads aren't even on loans with  an option to sign if they are any good.  How can you get excited about that? Just play our own youth. 

Next season they all go back to their parent clubs, and we start this painful process again. Personally think we should just play our own academy/under 23 players and roll with it 

Need to fix the defence 😬
