It is more a case of who would pay for Travis, rather than if he wants to leave.

No its not.

Leicester going for 100 points and are going to face the softest team in world football. The easiest game they'll have all year.

We are definitely reliant on 1 of three clubs to lose or draw. Not realistically in our hands.

He's a better shot stopper and better positionally than Pears. 

Pears is slightly better at crosses - but he's still a puncher, rather than a catcher - and better with his feet. 

puncher v flapper! Great.

50 points. Last day of the season. Not been in bottom 3 all season. Away to the Champions.

Written in the stars isn't it?

first indication of nothing changing and no significant incomings  will be if gallagher gets a contract extension,if he gets ***** off it could be a good sign that there are some changes afoot,don`t want to go into next season with bloody gallagher leading the line

So long as its not Telovic.

Thought we did ok today but just had no luck in the box with lots of missed/blocked chances. Its largely down to a lack of attacking quality as we have mentioned loads of times, the final ball or finish poor most the time.

Just feel flat and have done for a while, want the season declared safe and over but rovers just keep prolonging the agony. Its slim that all the results go against us next week but would be just our luck it happens.

The result against Bristol City will have done for us if we go down. We had a comfortable cushion till that happened.

Sqeaky-bum time now. (Apologies Ossy Dave---just seen your post above).

Ww need cheering up don't we?!!

The biggest game of the day is arguably being played at John Smiths stadium in Udders, where Udders v Brum is a real 6 pointer in the relegation scrap. Wednesday are at home to West Brom who are still looking to secure a playoff spot and Plymouth are away at Millwall.

Based on the shocking performance last week, you'd have to say we'll lose again today, Coventry are a good side. But with last weeks Wembley heartache and extra time, will they be running on empty?

Rovers 1 Coventry 1 🤞

1-1 is my forecast too and it will be enough I assume.

The simple truth about the coming summer transfer-window is that we need more players of sufficient quality than our owners will allow. All the speculation will carry on as usual but that one truth will prevail.

We are in deep shit.

Sorry folks, while DE is speaking truth here, I added a word filter into the forum about 2 years ago when @chaddyrovers kept turbo posting we should sign "Jay $tansfield" so that every time he said "Jay $tansfield", it automatically changed his post to "Luca Toni". I found it very funny. 

Its like the Horizon scandal all over again!!

However much ambition an owner might have I don't think it's realistic to imagine that a club in the Championship could match an offer from a Premier League club if that club really wanted the player. There's also the question of the lure of the Premier League which for some players - maybe more their families and representatives - will override considerations of what might be in the best long term interests of the player.

He could have been persuaded tp stay longer maybe, I don't know.

But if he wouldn't have signed a contract at all without that release clause he could have walked for next to nothing.

It would depend on how much money he was offered and on the ambition of the owners.

Strange thing - though Kaminski was better than what we have now - he wouldn't be in my top 10 keepers from my time watching Rovers (goes back to Howard Kendall era) - just shows how far we have dropped in the quality of our keepers.

Best we had since Brad. He is heaps better than you suggest.

If we are trying to position ourselves as a development club for promising youngsters - we can't put too many blockers on players leaving providing our price is met. Where it all fell down is recruitment  - we spent what was big money for us on Kaminski's replacement - showing a reasonable profit overall - how the deficiencies in Leo's game wasn't picked up is down to the scouting (unless he is struggling to settle in this country and ends up a world beater - we can but hope)

Kaminski was't a promising youngster though was he? He was the real deal. If he had been kept we wouldn't be fighting relegation now.

That's how important that bit of business was.

And since we spent "big money"  on a replacement---what did we get? At best---one for the future.

Well the future is now.

He followed that up by saying “ so sign the best one you can afford “. Maybe we did ! Keep hold of Kaminski and we wouldn’t be in this mess.

Yes---and I don't understand the "he wanted to go" crap. He was contracted to us and we should have kept him .

Not his choice to make.

Even if he'd run his contract down, so what? Plenty of others have without the Lunes caring.

I said before the season started "this will come back to haunt us" and it has. Started the season with a No1 keeper who is known to be error prone and no decent back-up.

This decision alone could cost us our place in he Championship.

This is the lowest I've ever felt about Rovers, there seems no hope. Celebrating our 150th in Div 3!

Bit of a difference from the Leeds game! Looked like we had no plan. We'd won at leeds and the job was done. Spineless, tentative, error-strewn and lacking in any confidence from minute one.

Hard to imagine a worse display. Just appalled.

Well I wrote we had another blunder waiting and there it is. Why oh way are we being caught like that?

Why?

Two very poor teams but Wednesday are utter dross.

Lumped on Rovers at 8/5 and also stuck £20 on 3-1 to Rovers at 10/1.

 

You've said it yourself---2 poor teams so either can win.

Just now, moerpho said:

Despite two goals that was an awful half of football. Both teams should be ashamed people are paying good money to watch this dross. Don’t feel like it’s an important game for neither sides. Let’s hope Rovers improve somewhat in the 2nd half and get this season done with.

Its like local league, the ball's in the air most of the time. Our defending is terrible, feel another blunder is just round the corner, thank God we haven't been under much pressure.

Absolutely nothing to beat here.

Three points and safety nailed on

Shudder.

Strange atmosphere. Tension is palpable. We"ve had most of the play but can't string decent passes together.

And our defence looks very rocky.

FFS!

But failure to beat the worst team at home shouldnt be considered par for the course, it was a terrible result.

I dont doubt that we are not particularly good or that we may very well not win tomorrow. I just think that if we cant at least think such a fixture is winnable and anything other than a win is a huge disappointment, then there is something wrong.

Nobody thinks tomorrow is unwinnable but its a matter of which team turns up, the team that won at Leeds or the team that was massacred at Bristol.

Our home record and our record v bottom teams is terrible. That's a fact.

Draw and we go above Stoke in 17th place and are safe for another season. That's all I care about.

Longer term the prospects look dire and we seem destined to lose more good players in the summer.

Whatever happens tomorrow our future looks grim. If Venkys don't sell we have had it.
