Sheff W losing 2-0 which means they are very unlikely to be able to catch us now. 

Needs Hudds and Plymouth to lose. Both the most likely two to fill that 3rd relegation slot.

Dream land!!! We've won a game!!!!

Excellent first half. I actually still don't expect us to win. A huge amount of work still left for us to do before this is over.

A very winnable game today. I expect a draw. Eustace is a draw/loss specialist.

I'm actually a fan of Eustace and think he's a decent manager. But there's no doubt he's done a really poor job so far. In the 10 games he's been here we've had some very winnable games - most notably Millwall and Plymouth at home - but we've got nowhere near winning a game since he arrived. The performances have been abysmal too.

He's tightened up the defence and performances have been slightly better recently, but you don't get 3 points with slightly better performances and draws. We need wins!

Other results went for us yesterday which negated the Ipswich result (still 3 points clear as we were before the start of this round of games), but I struggle to see us picking up enough points to stay up.

Sunderland is a very winnable game on Monday but we all know we probably won't win it. Realistically, we then have 2 games left where we can pick up points - Sheff W and Bristol. I'd hazard a strong guess we won't win either of those either.

It really is a depressing time to be a Rovers fan. There is no glimmer of light for this club at the moment. The owners are scum.

We won’t win another game this season. I genuinely cannot see it happening.

Same, I cannot see us winning another game this season. We're a soft touch and have only one quality attacking player.

Difficult to win when you can’t score and can’t keep the ball out of the net 

You can thank Venky's for that. 

We are going down with an absolute wimper. We've not been close to winning a game for nearly 2 months.

All down to Pears that one. He's cost us today, just as he did at Portman Road. 

The performance was decent overall but we have a shocking GK and no attacking quality. 

0 wins in the first 10 games for the new manager. Has to be the worst start to a managerial reign at this club ever?

We have no attacking quality. Painful to watch. 

And that's why you need a good GK too.

To be fair mate it is only half time. It will likely be a fair comment at the end of the game but not yet

It would be a miracle if we come back to win this. We barely create a chance. 

We've done better so far than I expected us to. But another game we're most likely not going to get a win from and that makes it 0 wins in 10 for the new manager. That's a dreadful record.

Ref is appalling. Almost as bad as Pears.

We are bereft of quality all over the pitch. Ipswich barely had to get out of first gear so far.

Shocking GK. We have the two worst GKs in the league.

Men against boys here. A matter of how many today. 

Results have gone for us today apart from Stoke. We've been given a lifeline.

Plymouth, Birmingham, Huddersfield all lost. Sheff W draw a very winnable home game. Stoke and QPR are not going down anyway.

Excellent set of results for us today. 

Starting 11 is OK. Bench is awful. 

Think we get beat fairly comfortably. They have too much firepower for us.

I won't bother to listen to the interview. The club can't and won't change under these joker owners. It doesn't matter what Gregg says in an interview, he has very little influence despite being Director of Football.

We've heard this all before anyway and nothing changes. We had a "humour error" on two transfers last Jan and were told processes were in place to ensure it didn't happen again...it then happens again 12 months later!

Shame for Siggy but not a major loss for the club. Half decent finisher but a poor player overall. 

Not sure how he ever played (and scored!) in the champions league.

How is life in Burnley?

Eh? What an odd reaction.

I think all of the following are most at risk than us as things stand, but that might change...

Rotherham - as good as done

Sheff Weds - pretty much certain

Birmingham - in free fall but I think will make it

Plymouth - most at risk

QPR - have enough about them to avoid it 

Stoke - will get out of it

So I reckon the table finishes something like:

QPR
Stoke
Rovers

Big Club

Plymouth

Sheff Weds

Rotherham 

 

Not sure about Sheff W. They've shown they can pick up wins and they have a kind fixture list so I think they'll be OK.

Us, Plymouth, and Hudds seem to struggle the most to pick up 3 points so are in the greatest danger imo. 

Interesting that a new football governance Bill is being pushed through parliament today.

This feels like a big step in the right direction and probably a Bill that owners like Venkys will hate.

I don't know the ins and outs of the regulatory powers but I'm sure this is an avenue we can go down, particularly if Venkys are not able to provide the necessary funds to the club due to restrictions in India.

Anything that gives fans more power is a winner in my book.

We don't have many goals in us and Ipswich have plenty. They will run out very comfortable winners in this one. 

Our game plan at the moment is about keeping it tight and nicking a goal. That won't work against the better teams (it didn't even work against the lesser teams!).

Maybe warnock to Plymouth or Huddersfield?

Hudds have only appointed their new manager recently so they'll prob give him more time. A draw against Rotherham when you desperately need the points is shocking though, so maybe they will get rid.

I think Plymouth will get rid of their manager as he's useless. It wouldn't surprise me if Warnock goes there and he keeps them up.

Brum appoint Rowett until the end of the season. That probably sees them safe. Sad to see Mowbray out of the game with what is likely to be a serious illness. Hope he gets well soon. 

Sheff W, Hudds, Stoke, QPR, Plymouth and us are all more likely to go down now than Brum.

Personally, I think we will go down with Huddersfield or Plymouth. If Plymouth change their manager then they will probably stay up. Our inability to win a game will see us relegated.
