JDT is working under very difficult circumstances, no doubts.... .....BUT.... ..he doesn't help himself, I just don't see the benefit in the style of play he adopts. We concede goals for fun (now the 2nd worst goals against in the league) and even though our goals for isn't that bad, lately the goals have dried up and we have very little attacking threat. Yes, a lot of the blame falls to the owners for a lack of investment and the recruitment team for some awful transfers (we must have the worst collection of strikers in the league) but JDT sets the team up and coaches them and the tactics/style of play either doesn't work or doesn't suit the players we have. It's difficult to lay much blame at his door, given what he's got to work with, but his stubborn attitude to our style of play means he isn't blameless.

Yup. The goals against column is a huge concern and if we can't resolve that, we're only heading one way.

Or they'll just sell Wharton on the cheap to cover the costs 🤷‍♂️

Just seen the highlights. Wahlstedt can hang his head in shame with letting that first one in. Awful. Defence were horrific for the second and Brittain just falling over, giving the ball away for the 3rd was pathetic. Most noticeable thing was how little effort the players seemed to be putting in for all 3. Unacceptable.

The path to redemption has only ever been with new owners, sadly in the unlikely scenario that Venkys actually released us from their death grip, chances are we'd just be bought by more chances.

And if the "plan" is to sell Wharton and Carter just to keep the lights on for a bit longer, relegation will arrive sooner than we'd like.

No one is getting sacked. Develop players and stay in the championship are the only aims.

3-0 Everyone out

2-0, pack up and go home. It'll end 4-0

FFS, we need to grow some bollox because we can't keep getting 0 points after we go behind. Time to grow a pair lads.

Definitely needs a loan I think. Didn't realise he was already 24!

Merry Christmas everyone!

January will be a quiet one, no doubt. We'll try for a couple of loans, if they come off then great, if not, I think we'll just leave it. JDT mentioned a few injured players should be back in January, so assume the higher ups would rather save some money and pin our hopes on the returning players.

Yikes!

Typical Rovers, absolute bottle jobs. Merry fucking Christmas

Big crowd in, so obviously had to bottle it.

Wow, that's really poor.

Great start! Is Trav at LB?

We don't do draws!

Along with Szmodics, JDT has alluded to another player possibly not making it today, by the sounds of it, for similar reasons (playing a lot of games). I assume that player is Carter, hence why Hyam will start? Unless anyone has heard any more on it?

Great to see him sign up, bit of a shame it's only for 18months, presumably he see's his long term future elsewhere (at a higher, more ambitious club than Rovers)

Szmodics not playing is a big blow. Be interesting to see how we line up now. Assume it would be Ennis/Leonard up front with Sigurdsson or Moran in behind. I forgot that Brittain is also unavailable, might have to start Markanday but as he struggles to get off the bench these days, I'd be surprised.

He's got that bit of extra quality that a lot of our other players lack. Deffo need to get him signed up permanently.

Glorious
