Ew Weimann scored for Derby, wanted them to keep losing

Is it bad that I’m excited by Morishita hitting the bar? It’s nice to have someone creative and brave enough to have a go

They are wearing a special tribute shirt, something to do with it being 25 years of Elton John owning them

Oxford leading against 10 man Leicester is far from ideal

Shame for the lad, he’s now 24 and I think those 5 games for Altrincham is the most he’s played for a single club maybe even for all clubs combined at a senior level Seems Harry Chapman played against him for Gateshead coming off the bench!

To be fair the 8-0 loss to Chorley wasn’t so bad after all The official report says 2 of the goals could be argued as fouls https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2025/september/08/match-reflection--chorley-women-8-0-rovers-women/ “It should have just been 6-0, you’ll never sing that”

They’ll wheel out the privy account with ‘January is a notoriously hard window with inflated prices, look at other teams, Wigan and Kidderminster not signed anyone, with Adam Khan coming back it’s like a new signing’ or similar

Bloody hell that’s a new low, so that’s 3 games in the league with 0 points and 0 goals scored and then an 8-0 loss in the cup against Chorley!

He’s not worked out how I wanted, when the balance of ‘he’s been awful today’ to ‘actually maybe there’s something there when it clicks’ was more like 70/30 I was thinking we had a real chance of getting the most out of him. Sadly that balance is now more like 90/10 (being kind), when he’s good he’s really good but it seems more and more a case of his physicality working rather than much more.

He’s clearly not a ‘waste of space’ at worst he’s a poor forward that bagged a few goals and assists. Admittedly he’s been bad more than good and exclusively bad so far this season (and I’d say since the manager came in) I’ve said all summer I expected him to go so not too surprising but would rather we had another option to replace him rather than nobody, as I still think chasing a game he can be an option with Millers long throw

I think it started when premier league teams like Chelsea and City would have full teams of people out on loan, for us it seems more of a made up jobs for the boys / appease the fans role

I enjoyed the link up with Blackpool on their not a Penny more campaign when we protested around the ground. I think having it packed outside the ground but not in sends a message as well, get some tannoys like that annoying shouty man at parliament, fireworks etc

Always thought Pears would end up in America at some point, can he still go there?

Even with a compromise / settlement agreement it’s possible to take an employer to court, albeit not as easy. I truly hope if someone has been forced out due to not covering their arms at the training ground (along with previous mentions of ham being banned at the training ground) they consider taking the club to a tribunal for discrimination.

If anyone needs cheering up its nearly time for a new BRFCS exclusive show called ‘Neophox randomly says the names of free agents’ I think this one will be a hit! Streaming for the next 4 months only at brfcs.com

I’m actually quite excited by a few of the lads we’ve signed, or I would be, the problem is we’ve just gutted the rest of the squad and a few potentially creative players is merely window dressing even if they turn out well.

If it helps please note that I don’t care But I think you for your service 🙂

Issa that a clue?

Elliot Jackson shown up a bit there, basically said the move was in doubt due to the Posh Chairman’s tweet and then it was confirmed just afterwards.

Never liked Hyam after his ‘calm down’ gesture in injury time in a game we needed to win, rubber dinghy man - but that aside you can’t make an argument for it being logical at this point in the window. Feels like a long season incoming.

That’s a lot of money for Hyam but still a terrible deal given the timing and lack of replacement.

Hyam is an unspectacular but steady championship centre half, steady being the key word, it would be stupid to let him go now. Wharton isn’t up to the task and Carter is a crock sadly.

Do we manage to field a team and full set of subs? I remember a couple of decades back seeing Rishton ladies playing Everton or one of the big clubs down on the field behind Norden, Rovers ladies don’t seem far from being back at that point. A remarkable step back.

Pears is a below average championship keeper, capable of great saves but dodgy like most are. From what I’ve seen I prefer Toth but he’s clearly a better back up option than the alternatives, if we can’t get a decent fee for him I’d keep him around.

My prediction for the day: 1 signing 2 sales 32 interactions between Chaddy and RF99
