Genuinely the worst result and performance in recent memory, with Hyam probably the worst individual performance I can ever remember seeing. In a game we needed not to lose, against Bristol Fucking City. If Eustace's first words after this game aren't 'we apologise to the fans', he is absolutely clueless. If we stay up this season, it's purely down to how bad teams below us are.

If he does, he'll have completely eroded any credit he'd earned for the last couple of decent performances. Stop with the bullshit, this has been nothing short of horrific.

Thing is, Bristol haven't even had to play well tonight - cruised in first gear, yet steamrolled us. Pathetic, every single one of them.

Fuck me, Hyam really has gone full Duffy. Pathetic performance front to back tonight, embarrassing.

To be fair, he was very good yesterday and certainly one of our stronger performers.

I do think he's got a better touch than Gally - the couple of matches where he was given a start under JDT, I think he looks decent enough. Should have scored a few (at least a couple at Hull springs to mind), but he's just struggling to get that first one away.

I've been critical over his first several games, but I have to give credit for the last couple. Let's hope it's the foundations of something good.

Agreed, he was about as far away from MotM as anyone today - Mr Jackson is on crack. Brittain was the obvious choice for that, really good today.

I thought we were really good today - the press was excellent and we looked more of a team than we have in a while. Plenty of positives: clean sheet / Brittain / defensive positions and tracking back / Tronstad excellent / Dolan good and Markanday impressed. The negative for me was Gallagher. Works hard and does lots of good work, but he’s the point of failure in attack time after time. He just looks out of place when we attack. But happy tonight. 4 points from the last 2 is a very good return.

Agreed, I like the look of Ayari - definitely has something about him. Has the technical ability, but also puts his foot in. A proper 'Rovers' player, I guess. Chrisene, I'm still not 100% on. He's looked better in recent games, but I think he's still playing within himself a bit.

There's less pressure for a result after the Sunderland game, so a point wouldn't be a disaster. Hard to leave anyone out from the last game, injuries pending / etc. You don't change a winning side.

Really quite impressive when you consider how atrocious Sheffield have been in the Prem this season. The boy has clearly always had talent, but is a massive confidence player. Pleasing to see him doing well at the top level. The only shame, of course, is that we didn't make the money that we should from him.

I know it'd likely be a massive shitshow. But I'd still take it over what we currently have.

Today was brilliant, really enjoyed that. But it is slightly worrying that he thinks that we've been 'excellent' in every game he's managed for us. We've improved defensively, but if the last 11 games set the standard of 'excellent', it doesn't really inspire any confidence for next season. We've been a team in transition, of course, but we have been far, far from excellent on the whole.

Wow, 4. Sunderland have been shit, but harsh to take anything away from our performance. Brilliant.

Three really nicely worked goals, bit of a perfect away performance so far. We’ve all given them shit when it’s been warranted (which has been a lot recently), but cannot fault today. Clean sheet would really be the icing.

Delighted to be 2 up, second goal was really well worked (and finished) 👍🏻

Nice to see him get 2 goals and an assist yesterday. Seems to be doing quite well at Sheffield.

I genuinely don't want to keep criticising him - as Rovers 'head coach', I want him to succeed as it means the club is succeeding. But he's really not helped himself with some of the shite that's left his mouth so far.

I agree, but ultimately we need somebody who gives a shit about the club, is passionate about wanting us to succeed and puts these things above justifying their job by cost-cutting at any opportunity.

With the recent news of Waggott going rogue and involving himself in both player acquisitions (at least Fleck, giving him £20pw) and directly appointing what appears to be a disastrous managerial appointment in Eustace. And he's been consistent that the owners have always agreed to send money / assist with the club whenever asked. You have to wonder if he has been the single point of failure over the last several years. Did he make the decisions to let contracts run down, or to not sell players like BBD and Rothwell? We're told 'the board' made the decision; he is paid to be the most senior member of that board. And that's before we go into horrific season ticket strategies, or embarrassing PR releases. The more I think about it - and the more you read into interviews by JDT and GB, the more I come to the conclusion that Waggott is THE issue at the club.

Mainly because that isn't true. £2.5m was the original deal, then it was revised to £3.5m - as per Broughton himself last week.

Not seen anything under JE to suggest we'll take anything from this game. Continuing to concede soft goals, failing to create much at the other end and a jumbled mess during transitions. Just have to hope the teams under us also fail to pick up points.

You're on glue if you don't think Tronstad hasn't been one of our best players this season. Tonight he was a bit sloppy, but over the season, he's been pivotal (and very consistent).

His reign so far has been disastrous, zero wins in 10 games. He claims to have prioritised keeping the back door shut, but we've continued to concede soft goals and lose games. Just with the added 'bonus' of becoming impotent in attack. If we were not skint, I'd be honestly tempted to write him off and let Johnson take the rest of the season. That Stoke game has been the best we've been (in the league) this calendar year.
