The biggest disappointment of the day was the incredibly harsh 2nd yellow for Montgomery. On his full debut, probably knocked his confidence a fair bit.

I wouldn't go that far. I'd say they are both quite poor. Toth didn't get to any crosses he went for and Luton nearly scored from one he flapped at.

9mins of added time!

Which just means the owners have to put less in. It doesn't mean we'll have an increased transfer budget. It's never meant an increased transfer budget.

I agree with you about good ownership having a short, medium and long term plan. Puts our owners in a terrible light though, 15 years later, clearly no long term planning in the slightest (not for the betterment of BRFC anyway)

Apologies, where is this interview? And, we need to sell MORE fucking players??? What? So, via this total prick, the club are trying to soften the fans up to the fact that we are selling our better players (Trav, Tronstad and Brittain) and NOT reinvesting any of that money? What about the £40m+ we've taken over the last few windows? League one is inevitable. #VenkysOut

Could we chuck Venkys on a bonfire?

😂 OK, he set us up in such a way, to reduce the number of errors Pears made.

Hasn't wanted to but somehow has. We aren't tough to beat, throwing bodies on the line, defensively sound, as we were under JE. He even got Pears looking good, who had now reverted to type as a waste of fucking space. We are nothing like we were under JE.

The result and him getting minutes into an academy player also. Puts him right on track for the aims for next season. Same as JDT's remit: "To stay up and develop young players"

-----------------------------Toth Montgomery---Batth---Hyam---Riberio ------------------Tronstad---Travis Dolan-----------------Ohashi---------Cantwell --------------------------Gueye Get shot of Pears in net and see if Toth can resemble anything close to a goalkeeper in the last few games.

A better second half papering over some gigantic cracks. What's going on with conceding goals within the first 10mins? Once again we looked absolutely horrific in that first 45mins. Conceding 1 goal within 10mins and then another before the 20min mark meant we were never winning that. We've scabbed a draw, admittedly, with a better second half display but if it takes us going 2 down to start playing, we're in big trouble. JE was building on a solid defensive foundation. Ismael seems to have thrown that out of the window. If we don't get shot of Pears in the summer, we'll struggle. The bloke is a disaster.

Do I even bother watching this second half? We couldn't score in a brothel, so we aren't getting anything today.

Absolutely shite.

I doubt it, tbh

Throw in a few £250k signings from some obscure league and they'll be laughing.

At some point, self preservation will kick in for all those in the firing line. Worryingly for us, you'd imagine Suhail will be the prime candidate for survival, as he clearly already has the Rao's trust.

Our only real hope of getting something is if the Sheff Wed players don't turn up due to not being paid. It's the battle of the shite owners. 2 poor squads but Sheff Wed have the ace up their sleeve of having a far superior manager, as opposed to our utterly dreadful one. Can't for the life of me see us getting a win, we'll be lucky to score a goal these days. I think we'll see a similar game to the Boro one. We start slow, concede (maybe twice?), put in a horrific first 45mins and then maybe come out for the 2nd half and show a bit more but not quite enough to rescue anything.

What's the timeline on this stuff? Don't wanna be that guy but the club signed a 5 year kit deal in 2021 with Macron, so we wouldn't be changing supplier yet. SW already mentioned in those interviews that we've had plans about design etc for 150th anniversary on going for a while. Again, the stooges confirmed that Academy will remain a Cat 1 in those interviews, would be a ballsy move to say that to try and calm the fans, only to backtrack soon after, with the fans in full revolt. Just gives us more ammo. Could all be true and the rest of it might very well be. I always expect the worst with this lot tbf, so it might all be.

The hierarchy at Rovers have been good at just one thing since these clowns rocked up, dividing the fan base. It's been bizarre over the last 15 years that we haven't been able to get a unified front as supporters. Glen and Co. deserve enormous credit for unifying the fan base a lot more than it has been for years. It's the only way we'll ever get anything to change at Rovers. It's too easy for the club to snuff out any dissenting voices when it's just a small group of fans when the majority of fans are also against them. Feels like there has been a significant shift across the fan base this time. Some obvious (alleged) club/Venky plants have been popping up over the last few days but it seems more and more of the fanbase are aligning and starting to realise life under these bastards is actually a nightmare.

😂😂 Another paid for by the club story. Fucking hell, we've won 0 games under this clown. He getting rid of the entire squad is he?

I do get where you're coming from in this situation though, 0 - 2 down, at home, after 8mins, yeah, he probably should have been doing something to show at least a bit of passion about it. As I say, overall it doesn't bother me that much but, you know what, I think for yesterday's game, you're right. If that can't stir some kind of fire/emotion from him, nothing will.

Not sure if Toppling the king refers to Waggott, Suhail or The Rao's. Great work in any case though. I did wonder, after one of your previous posts where you mentioned about The Rao's being furious about recent events, if there would be some big reaction from them in anyway? The never want to sell, sadly, but do seem willing to rearrange the deck chairs on the titanic at times.
