This is a new level of shit 😂

The ball has been completely untroubled by any Rovers player in the opposition half. Awful, awful performance so far. Not convinced we've even put 3 passes together.

Venkys Out

Last night we were shit. Plain and simple. Have to expect a lot more of those performances between now and the end of the season.

Birmingham have been better all over the pitch. Very lucky to only be the one down so far. Worst performance of the season for me and there have been some shockers.

WTF are we doing?

Agree with that bit. Stoke were absolutely wretched that first half. This is a fairer reflection of what our squad can/mainly can't do.

We look awful. New manager bounce gone already.

Especially now they are letting more physicality back into the game.

King Kenny's mantra. Play your football in their half.

If you take 2 similar quality teams, one plays out from the back, one sits deep and counter attacks with pace. I know which one I would back to win 8 times out of 10 and its not the tippy/tappy. I also know which I'd rather watch. That said, I always thought Rovers best performances over the last few years have been when we used a high press.

New manager, cheaper targets.

Underwhelmed if it's Eustace. But then I've been underwhelmed by everything the club has done in the last 14 years!

Problem is, what are this set of players suitable for? They can't play the tippy tappy stuff. They are too slow to play on the break. Too small/weak to go direct/long ball. It's a piss poor squad.

Makes you wish Hyam could spend 5 minutes in a dressing room with Andy Todd. I'm hoping the new old lad Mcfazdean or whatever his name is may be a bit more old fashioned in his approach.

You know we are fucked when Pears is trotted out as a senior player. Hyam though, he's disappeared on the pitch. No leader at all.

That really made me chuckle!

QPR brought on some of their last minute signings. Ours were either missing altogether, not fit enough or not good enough to come on. Kevin Gallagher alluded to it on the radio. Says all you need to know about our window.

The way we play surely lies with the Director of Football/ CEO. The coach is brought in to play the style of football the club has identified. In our case the club identified it wanted a style of football that put players in the shop window so they could be sold. The only remit - to avoid relegation.

A result most of us expected. Nothing else to say really.

Hyam soft as fuck for that goal. Embarrassing. Not a leader amongst them.

He's come on as sub for Palace. They've gone from 1 down to 3 down. At least he'll be used to that🤷🏻‍♂️

It won't be any decent manager because we now operate the DOF/Head coach model.

It wouldn't surprise anybody. It's been their MO for years. Another awful window. Still think we'll be looking nervously over our shoulder come April. Clear as day that Swag had the Wharton deal lined up to plug costs - where else was his 'next tranche of funding' coming from? There's nothing to sell in summer so if the court issue isn't addressed, things should get interesting. Alternatively, if it is, the usual bollocks about ffp won't be an excuse for a year or two. I'll not hold my breath.

Well. Isn't this the most predictable thing to wake upto after an early night. There was never s chance of any signings. I wouldn't be surprised if Wharton was assured money would be spent if he left. As soon as the ink was dry though... Dream venky window. Just need one more striker off the books now.
