Finally!

For the last 9 years?

Evans off, dack on. Cant be much shape left in the team. Who's in the middle of the park?

He just needed those extra 7 minutes, to double check Smallwood was shite.

Smallwood off, Rothwell on

He didn't play last night, on the bench tonight.

No shots on target against Oldham at fucking home!

Hello, ladies...

I'm done. He's finished as Rovers manager. We have consistently conceded goals under him and now we aren't even getting any shots on target. Add in his transfer failings and it's now surely just a matter of time before we are at the mercy of our useless owners to try and appoint a decent manager (spoiler, they won't) 2 things Venkys never invest in. Defenders and managers. Let's hope Johnnos up to it.

I'd say I'm surprised but really, I'm not.

Well, I didn't expect that line up

It's a toss up between best 11 and giving a few players a chance to shine. Be good to see either JRC or Nyambe make a real claim for Right back, although it will probably be a futile effort. Would be good to see the likes of Butterworth and Buckley get a run out also. Brereton and/or Gallagher to hopefully get a confidence boosting goal. I'd probably play William's and Tosin just to get some game time in.

Yer I don't think they'd hang onto us if it meant their business was suffering. To be honest they must know that the footballing world thinks they are a joke and some of the worst owners in the game? They must, surely. So, how much face can they even save? They might actually gain a bit of credit back if they sold us.

Unhappy to see Bennett given the armband. Largely because it means one of our weakest areas will remain weak. When he was playing CM in our league one campaign, I'd have been happy with him being skipper, as he ended being an important part of the team but now he shouldn't really be starting at all. Like when C**le made Lowe captain. A huge mistake.

The company I work for have offices out in India and we use the staff on a daily basis, for the obvious reason they are cheap as hell. I'd say a good 90% produce poor/lower quality of work than they should in their roles. And it's a constant battle going back and forth before you get what you want. We had one guy, who was so bad, we ended up sending 3 or 4 emails to his manager out there about the poor quality of his work. His manager, just buried his head in the sand and didn't take our complaints seriously at all. Without wanting to admit the bloke was a failure, he just moved him onto another project and that was the end of it. Maybe it's a cultural thing and they don't want to admit failure, maybe they think they are doing a good job and see nothing wrong (something else that seems to happen a lot with the Indian teams we have), who knows? As an aside, I've been to India (Bangalore) and its absolute fucking carnage, after being there, it's no surprise to see Venkys ownership of Rovers being the same. (Yes I'm aware they live in Pune)

Time before that though......

You've got to laugh. Absolutely no one to blame but himself. So, an unfit William's and city youngster to start.

Skretel has signed for Atalanta. So we can scratch him off the list.

Hey it wouldn't be 2pm on a Saturday without a huge disappointment, right?

I wouldn't put it past Mowbray to give Bennett the armband but if he does it will be a huge disappointment.

Yep. Mental. William's can't be match fit.

Maybe Mowbray did read the riot act on the defenders and that led to a bust up with him and Mulgrew?

He's just bagged too. Wrong net though!
