Interesting---good post. Only 2 of the top ten on that list doing well. 2nd most touches for us and we've conceded the most goals apart from Rotherham and they are bottom. (57 versus our 56!) One stat that would be so appropriate for us would be the number of chances converted as against those created. Bit subjective, that's the problem but I reckon we'd be bottom!

We usually do well at Birmingham.

When we were on a good run last season we routinely had less possession than our opponents and the converse is true too, when we had more we lost! Possession is vastly over-rated, it what you do with it that counts.

you should send your info to the LT

No-one is the right man for the job with Venkys in charge, no such person exists and Jdt wanted to leave at the end of last season but Venkys insisted he fulfilled his contract. That sentence doesn't make sense anyway!

He gave us a glimpse of what we could be.

they could sell?

ie--In 15 minutes we'll be told what we already know!

Exactly right. They know the fans will be in a hostile mood tomorrow and they are calculating that the crowd will be restrained by the introduction of a new manager. "Give him a chance FFS!"

Dead cat bounce?

Eustace's appointment will be announced today. I don't know who made the choice initially but I'm sure Venkys have approved it. My only thought that we could have done much worse. In fact we have!

So would I but Venkys won't.

Which are? I can only think of one---we create loads of chances. But we rarely take them and we've lost Adam.

Sorry Den, wish I could help you!

I went to that game too! But I picked that out of the story I read! Just assumed it was correct.

Don't bother travelling to away games though! Seriously, I'm a Big Sam fan but I cannot see Venkys ever employing him.

was affected by the choices available to him on the bench which, in turn was related to the strength and numbers of the squad.

Foe those old enough to remember him, Roy Isherwood has died. Right-winger, played in 1960 Cup Final.

Thanks yet again Glen. Look after yourself, more important things than Rovers.

JDT can take charge first half and get us a goal or 2, and Eustace can take over 2nd half and keep them out!

What players say in the press is invariably tailored to the needs of their Club. He's not going to say "I was happy to stay but they needed £2M is he? Any way, I don't care what he said, we needed him and he was contracted to us so I'd have kept him.

I don't know whether he pushed to leave or not, did he tell you this? He was under contract to us and it wasn't in our interests to let him go. As became obvious very early indeed.

If Kaminski had been between the posts all season I'm guessing our position in the league would be rather higher. He was left with Pears and Wahlstedt and then immediately lost Pears. much of the defence's problems are down to that. We sacrificed safety in the League for £2M. Venkys again.

Oh dear what a shock!

Clear attempt at deflection. The results are a direct consequence of Venky neglect.
