I am rewatching the game now and for the first twenty minutes Trav and Henriksson were the ones who got stuck in and took on the fight. Trav also had some neat passes, both short and long and was also eager to collect the ball from Hyam, Mcloughlin and Ribeiro.

Selling Travis is for me a poor decision. I love that guy, and even though he is limited he gives me so much to cheer about. Standing up for his mates, giving 100%, shithouse. He is Arte & Labore

Mostly Rams fans pissing their knickers at the thought of getting Trav.

They have to be brothers

I can easily see Henriksson playing instead of Hedges if Cantwell was fit.

What about BC who everyone is raving about? Not much investment there lately.

Axel mainly took the fight, but they actually kicked us down when we had the ball in our feet. This made it impossible to play the passing game we wanted.

I have to say, Sean Mac looked extremely comfortable with the ball in his feet. Was very impressed with him.

He wasn’t particularly bad, but his distribution was poor and he gave the ball away too easy.

I agree with that, but it wasn’t as bad as most are making out. We didn’t create enough in the final third, but besides that it was some neat passing and combative match. Thought Hyam was weak today. Sluggish and lacked creativity on forward passes.

Wasn’t WBA extremely energetic and in our faces? Meant we couldn’t play the way we wanted to?

Where’s Todd?

Doesn’t make any sense to invest heavily in the academy and then just ignore it. It’s about striking the correct balance. on the part about the importance of local lads, short term lots of foreigners and players with little to no connection to the academy or Lancashire might work. long-term it’s a major mistake; seen this so many times in other clubs and experienced it firsthand

Glen wrote: One employee, I talk to weekly who is pre-venkys stated its the worse its been at any point in his Rovers career. So would probably I do as well if I feel completely out of the pecking order and didn’t feel valued but struggled to see my own efforts and stupidity. This happens everywhere in all jobs, especially with new ownership and change in management. spouting this things is extremely disloyal and unprofessional

Why the EFF didn’t Hirst do like that away at Cardiff? 😡

Agree Exiled. Everything went in.

Agree, but not impressed with either side. Impressed with Alsops delivery. Better not stay too high up the pitch against Brum and risk them just playing above our midfield.

Not really though. As mentioned JDT didn’t rate him and sent him out on loan. He didn’t play much for Ipswich. had nothing to do with the tits. I was so happy when he came back and we were Together again.

I will be detestated if Travs leaves us. To quote Janet Jackson: You don’t know what you got till it’s gone. Missed him so much when he went on loan during JDT era.

Goosebumps incoming - think its an anniversary video

A farewell from GAIS to Axel: Translated to: This guy is the persona of GAIS. Heart of a warrior, always 100%, tough as nails, full of energy and a gameplay always directed towards attacking goal. A strong man, a bearer of our culture, colors and name. Axel Henriksson you are worth every minute and every penny to go to England. You have given us hope, happiness and lust. We thank you a lot for the moments! We will miss you, but don’t forget us. You are always welcome back. Not bad..

Watched a bit of the highlights against NEC and especially Hedges positioning. Also seen highlights from Axel in GAIS. He could/would slot right in Hedges place in the XI. His attributes is quite similar to hedges just better hopefully. Defensive work, engine. Not a tricky and pacy winger. Ismael doesn’t seem to want that.

Okay, I thought we would line up with him maybe in a 4-2-3-1, maybe midfield diamond.

isn’t Axel meant to be a right sided midfielder meaning we could line up like this trav - tronny axel - Cantwell - de neve Ohashi

We all miss the bully boys Hughes era 🥰
