I think it will be us and Huddersfield to join Rotherham in League One.

Wednesday have proven that they have that fighting spirit and ability to win games when the pressure is on. I am dreading our match against them.

Birmingham are poor but in Rowett have a shrewd operator who should have enough to get a win or two from their relatively kind remaining fixtures (Rotherham and Huddersfield to come).

Forget about Millwall, QPR and Stoke, they'll be fine.

Plymouth a maybe but have two opportunities coming up in Stoke and Millwall both away.

I am going for Huddersfield and Plymouth to join Rotherham ..

I agree with you about Rowett .

Quite frankly I wouldn't purchase at half the price right now.

Shell of Club.

I must admit , i am considering not bothering with an ST next season...Just go to a few away game weekends and grounds that i have never visited... 

More live games next season if we stay up another reason !

I think people are underestimating how much  the sale of Adam Wharton as affected the team.

The one footballer with a bit of class ,  replaced by 2 OAPs  one of whom will only play 10 mins this season , the other was useful for a couple of games !

You cannot sell your best player and replace him with no one !

It is best described as Constructive Relegation !

What puzzles me about last nights debacle ( I wasn't there ) is why Carter didn't come on at half time ?

I am not defending anyone but it was Rovers 4th game since Good Friday evening , we just have not got 

the squad to play those fixtures ! 

That is down to the owners and no one else !

Another stat is that we've won 14 out of 86 Championship away games played on a Monday-Friday since we were relegated from the Premier League in 2012. 

Dismal. Hardly worth even incurring the travel expenses. 

Does this stat include the one season in league 1 ?

Why didn't Carter come on ?

The 2 teams , who I think will go down , Huddersfield & Plymouth neither won , so that's good.

In the perfect world , I would like Birmingham & Huddersfield to go down after their shenanigans 6  or 7 years ago..

Agree one of the hardest games to predict because they are such an inconsistent team. Reckon a draw is the most likely result as we've limited teams of late and unless Bristol are having one of their better days that should be enough to nullify them. But they could be gash and a repeat of Sunderland or they could batter us. Must be interesting being a Bristol fan.

 

That's a good set of fixtures for us. Leicester will beat Millwall. We win whatever the result of QPR/Plymouth. Preston and Norwich should beat Hudds and Sheff Weds. 

The Wedneaday games are trickier for us as both Brum and Stoke could pick up points. But given Stoke are grinding out points I dont see them as going down so that's less worrying. Huge opportunity for Brum though, a very winnable game. Lose this and I think they will be sunk. 

Preston very rarely do Rovers a favour !

Never in my wildest dreams !

I am going , more in hope than expectation !

The QPR winner yesterday is the sort of thing Eustace’s rovers would never be brave enough to get (see Hyam calming the fans down in injury time vs Millwall). It’s the 92nd minute, they’re drawing 1-1 in a massive relegation six pointer, the centre back goes up field for the goalkeeper’s kick to get a winner 

That scenario, was the same under Mowbray and JDT....

That’s my real worry, what a fucking nightmare that would be 🙈

Very ironic and a total two fingered salute , to the powers that be !

Nearly a Denis Law moment !

The club , deserves to be relegated, we the fans don't, I just want these bastards gone asap !

Do remember when we sold  Ken Knighton ?  Selling Wharton was a similar moment. That was when we threw in our hand.

Very true !

Those are the type of wins that get you promoted.

I only saw the second half, but we were definitely a bit unlucky not to take a point from that game, but them's the breaks when you're down the bottom.

Re - the save from Szmodicz, yes the keeper got a bit lucky, but you make your own luck.

I thought Ipswich were very poor yesterday , if they hadn't been played us or Rotherham , they probably would have lost..

The lack of talent in our squad is quite frightening and only  very few of our players , stand up to be counted !

They're not a 'patch' on the previous lot because they're simply not allowed to spend any money.

We're £23m in the black in transfers this season and have cut our wage bill by 20%. We cut it the previous season too. 

It's a L1 budget now. 

With the vast majority of players L1 standard and below .

There's only place , we can go and that's down !

tonights game will have taken a lot out of us,we won`t have the same energy for mondays game,the sheff wed game is the one that will decide our fate,rotherham have gone and huddersfield have nearly gone with their current form,that leaves one place left

Plymouth may be our saviours if not we are doomed...

Agree , with you about Rotherham and Huddersfield...

Coventry at home , just after or before the Cup Semi might be an interesting one .

We owe those cheating sods !

If that is his aim, then its the owners aim hence why they would bring him in to do it.

It is what the owners have done since day one !

Never forget, we were in the top 10 in the Premier league ..Under their  custodianship we are the cusp of a third relegation.  .

But its not the owners fault !

Dish it up, don't dangle it and not say anything 

It could be administration , which I would welcome with open arms .

How can that imbecile say that ???

Who sold Wharton? 

Who sent the club captain out on loan ?

What about the Jan transfer window cock ups ? 

You are the CEO Waggott, you should have made an effort to keep us up ! 

In my opinion, a DoF is a get out for managers ....

It is not my fault  , I didn't sign the players .

We need a manager , who knows a player !

Certainly, not this clown DoF !

Has anyone ever failed to win their first 9 (10 including the cup) games as Rovers manager? 6 points in 9 games and 0 wins is laughably bad. 

Set pieces are supposed to be an area of expertise, they are as bad as ever. Not a clue what the attacking plan is but its not working.

The squad is a mess and the players and manager are the perfect embodiment of what the owners have done to us. Cuts, cuts and more cuts.

When they sold Adam Wharton , the powers that be , knew exactly what they were doing !

To make matters worse , we replaced him with a croc and a has been! 

Having witnessed one of the worst, refereeing displays of my life and I go back a long time , that wasn't my main concern tonight !

The players are not good enough for this Division, I would be surprised if we stay up .

I am not sure big Sam could keep us up !

The squad is totally bereft of talent..
