We are a mid table side. The table and number of wins against losses simply doesn't lie

We are a bottom 6 team , the players are not good enough...

He's certainly involved, he was cc'd into a reply I received regarding this.

In a nutshell, they fully intend to turn people away if they refuse to buy online. 

Needless to say they've lost at least one tenner from me and subsequent concourse purchases etc.

 

If that is the case it's 2 tenners ..

Start playing poorer teams? As of now we have 13 home games left and 10 are against teams below us and one of those other 3 is only above on goal difference.

Quite a few of those 'poorer' teams will be above us before , we play against them..

Yes 3-0 at half time and 3-3 at full time. Nothing changes

David Batty changed that game if I remember correctly and within a couple of weeks, he signed for us....

New Owners.

That's the crux of the matter...

Rank bad owners usually only last a couple of years ...We have had 13 years of these pillocks ...

Very very strange with Siggy, he looks a million miles off the player from the first two games.. something is not right 

I suspect he wishes he was somewhere else, what's more so do I...

I’d be tempted to bring in Sigurdsson for Brittain here, and Ennis for Leonard before long.

From what I have seen of Sigurdsson , just leave him on the bench !

We’ve also lost the same number of games at home as we did in 22-23 (6).

Only problem is we’re not even midway through December! 

A very worrying stat..

Yet another defeat. It's extremely worrying that we have a complete inability to do anything other than win or lose with this team, but JDT has been left to patch together out of squads from misfits and youth talent and with the injury list the options are limited.

That said, I'd love to know how this treading water is supposed to do anything for us. We can sell some players off but that won't be reinvested properly and we can already see that the U21s we have can't compete because all their best players are in the first team. 

In the longer term the only way is down with such a lack of ambition. 

It wont be long , next season is a racing certainty ...

The club is dying on its feet , no one cares , the owners should put us into administration on Monday ...

Until they leave , we are facing death by a 1000 cuts ..

Another very poor home display !!

It's going to catch up with us , very soon..

The game today is very very sterile...

Mowbrays journey as run out of fuel !

JDT for Roker Park?

Its a depressing read. It sounds like Venkys have just totally washed their hands of us and it is genuinely up in the air whether day to day bills are paid.

Bring adminstration on !

Funnily enough I never thought Kaminski was that great. Fantastic shot stopper but poor on corners and generally commanding the box.

Guess I am just judging by much higher standards from a bygone era.

I agree with you but our decline as been steeper, than that of the goalkeeping standards..

This present crop and several loans before wouldn't made the central league team ..

We're at our peak now IMO and it's unlikely to get better from here. The squad, the players, the manager are maxed out and with difficult fixtures coming thick and fast, there's no respite in this league.

 

Probably right , plus we will no doubt be weaker by the end of January ...

Venkys will be hoping to cut the playing staff again...

Words have meaning. If they won they quite literally saw out the game

If you say so !

The players didn't see out the game they won 4-2? 🙄

No, 3 nil up 20 mins , 3-2 injury time we let teams back into the game very easily...

I was confident before the game.

We should have been out of sight with the chances we had and SW would have just shriveled up and died.

Give some teams half a sniff and they will get a foothold by fair means or foul and when the latter happens, we just can't handle it and shrivel up ourselves.  Sadly, we have no 'tough' players who get going when the going gets 'tough' and this is why we need 2 or 3 scumbag type players to see it through.  Teams know we can be bullied and we get bullied - we saw this with PNE and today.

I smelt the coffee a long time ago and have been posting as such for some time.

We shouldn't have lost after the equaliser the players cannot see games out..Today and on Wednesday v Birmingham...

Callum Britain certainly knows how to shirk a tackle...unforgiveable when we are in their half while chasing a goal...numerous times it happened...did he win one 50/50 ball?

I thought he was more than a bit 'frit' today ..

Saying that he isn't a left winger !

They were too good for us though, "men against boys", according to their players

It was can't deny that , but I am beginning to think there is something in this Cup Final game for PNE...

Even people who are passive  Preston fans are up for the Rovers game ...

Maybe it's the same for the players ?

I never felt more like singing the blues, the Rovers win, the Burnley / North End lose....

I'm much more confident this year than last. A lot of single goal victories last season.

COYB.

North End are nobodies definitely Burnley!

Another fantastic away day and result.

Lots of good performances, but I think Hill is immense at the back.

Pleased to see Garrett come on late and create a couple of goals, will do his confidence the world of good.

Hill is a very very good player ! 

Excellent win today , had my doubts before the start but what do i know .

JDT on Ennis:

"Niall got injured the other day for the 21s, it's a player who came into the building with a lot of physical issues," Tomasson said. "He is now injured again and I am disappointed for the boy.

"It's difficult for him to get up to speed when you're injured a lot. He can't show what he's capable of doing. We're disappointed that he will probably be out for a couple of weeks."

Sorry but just wtf did we sign him!?!?!?

Anyhow, think tomorrow we will be well and truly bullied - a magnification of the PNE game and result.  Stoke 4, Rovers 1.

You never know in football but I think you will be right ...

Keeley and Brannagan were hard men  but Moran and Shearer were something else .

Howard Kendall deserves a mention too..

He's got a win return pushing 50% at the club across almost 18 months. That's pretty good going for any manager at any club but when he's been constrained, undermined and forced to use teenagers to build a team with scumbags above him cutting budgets overnight and imposing drastic cost cuts, I'd say it is outstanding.

He'll quickly move on to bigger and better things than Rovers and to be honest I am amazed he is still here.

When he does I am absolutely certain our results and league position will quickly deteriorate, quite possibly back to League One and quickly 

There's every chance he will take us down to League One !
