This club will be re-born again at some point but not in the near future unfortunately. I can't see Venky's selling and I don't see anyone buying either. Really is a tough situation we are in. But we stick with the club through thick and thin.

Some clubs doing some really good business this window, most notably Hull and Millwall. Meanwhile, we have signed two teenagers on loan and are looking in the bargain basement of the lower leagues of Europe. We are on a very fast trajectory towards league one at the moment. Downgrading the squad every window now and the budget being cut at every turn. Sad times for this great club.

I'm not surprised we're looking at the lower leagues of Europe again for our next attacker. Telalovic has been such a revelation since GB fought off his signature from other clubs to bring him here...

JDT has to go. Sleepwalking to lge 1 at the moment. Lose to QPR next time out, and I think we will, then we're right in relegation trouble.

Chisene looks bang average. Another GB masterstroke in the transfer market.

This is desperately poor. Feel like the players have given up on JDT. A real lack of energy and commitment. I'm sick and tired of JDT's reign now. Need someone else in. Goals against column tells us all he needs to go.

Same old story. Unable to do the basics well. It's been coached out of them imo.

No Leo today so we have a chance! Just a shame it's Pears replacing him but he is an improvement on Leo. Worst GK we've ever had. With a few key players back, I think we will win today.

Juke on an 18 month deal would be good business for us. We need someone who has a presence up front as none of our strikers have that. He'd also help with depending set pieces - we're the worst in the league for corners conceded - and would also mean we can go a bit more direct if plan A is not working. He's miles better than any other strikers we have at the moment.

We need to clear out the deadwood up front. Gally and Ennis can go in Jan. Telalovic, Moran and Siggy can all go in the summer. None of them are very good. Cresswell would be a good signing at the back but I don't think it will solve our defensive problems. We don't have bad defenders at the moment, we have a system that leaves them exposed.

No one panic, we have our two Jan signings who will make a big difference... The club is lifeless this season. I'm bored of this season already and never got excited about it from day 1 in truth given the shambles of the summer transfer window. Another dreadful window so far where we're getting weaker and weaker with every window. We are on a trajectory towards league 1 in 18 months time. We'll just about be OK this season given how bad the bottom 3 are.

They're not bad defenders. They are poorly coached on the defensive side of the game. The focus in training is on passing the ball. We don't work on the basics. If an organiser like Warnock or Allardyce was our manager, neither of whom will be, then I can guarenatee you that the exact same defenders would not be making these kind of mistakes.

JDT has been let down in the transfer market but he's made us so defensively weak and too easy to score against. His philosophy of trying to outscore teams is completely misguided. Time to go now. This season has been an embarrassment so far.

Leo is the worst GK we've ever had. I genuinely can't remember a worse one.

Would be nice if JDT did some work with the team on the defensive side of the game. He has to go for me. Hyam and Carter are two of the best defenders in the league yet they're part of the worst defence in the league.

First of many today. We're the softest touch in the league. WBA are one of the toughest to score against so game over. This season can't end soon enough. Absolute garbage season.

That line up is depressing. This season has been a shambles.

This will be a comfortable win for WBA. They're very strong at home and we're just rubbish generally so they'll win easily. At least some of our players are on the way back though so we may start picking up some points after today.

I think there was/is a player in there somewhere but I don't think we can spend anymore time or money hoping that player comes out. I think he'd do well at a club that plays a more direct style of football and they just want him to be a handful. He's no good for a team that wants to keep the ball on the floor, he's got no technical ability. I actually think Dolan is our best striker at the moment. He doesn't have a goalscoring instinct but his control and movement are good. He's the most lively player we have in that position (aside from Szmodics obviously who is one of the best players in the league).

Would be a good move to ship out Ennis on loan and then ship him out permanently in the summer. We need a complete overhaul in the attacking areas. I can't remember us having a worst set of striking options. Gally, Ennis, Vale, Telalovic, Dolan, Leonard. That has to be the worst in many decades. We've always had really good strikers at our club. Even in league 1 we had Danny Graham and Armstrong.

Everything at Rovers these days is done on the cheap so this doesn't surprise me. We can't even afford to fly to away games. Players are probably put up in a Travelodge.

Sammie is fine. Signing autographs at the end.

Telalovic will save us 😆

Thank god for Sammie! We'd be going down this season without him. He's top class.

Remember that JDT's philosophy is to outscore other teams. He puts little emphasis on coaching defending, it's all about creating chances. His philosophy is all wrong if you wanna be successful at a club like Rovers.
