I assumed they'd still count him as injured/unavailable, as he'll just be building up his match fitness playing for the U21's. 13 players sounds worse than 11, even if you're effectively making 2 or 3 of them up. Technically Carter isn't injured either, as he played for the U21's last night. He still counts though.

Yep. "We have too many players out injured" "When they're back, we'll be fine" "Too many refereeing decisions are going against us" "We were beating Ipswich when the game was called off" "We were beating Sheff Wed when the game was called off" "The data shows we should be higher in the league than we are" "We're in a period/season (adjust based on length of shambolic performances) of transition"

The problem we have here is that Gestede, Owen, Ismael and maybe even Pasha (although I suspect he's chucking the rest under the bus right now) are all in it together. The appointment of the Ismael himself, the dross we've signed, the shocking performances all down to these clowns collectively. They won't be in any hurry to bin Ismael off, or sell any of the poor signings in desperate hope it all clicks and we suddenly start winning games. It's a collective failure and they're coming up with all the excuses as to why it's not working.

Assume he's counting Garrett as another

So in the pre-match interview with the club, Ismael has spent a good 8mins, of a 16mins interview, complaining about refereeing decisions and getting VAR in the championship. Although his overall point isn't far of the mark, he really will not take any responsibility for the mess we are in. It's always someone else's fault.

Alebiosu travelling straight to Swansea to link up with the team, could be involved. Cantwell a doubt after taking the elbow to the face.

Didn't someone say he played the full 90mins, in a champions league game just 3 weeks ago?

Has Henriksson actually had a shot in any of the games he's played upfront?

I think yesterday was the first game he's played without it, since he came back.

All the Venky plants on twitter that were arguing with me that Ismael is a much better manager than Eustace, seem to have disappeared for some reason 🤔

He's been poor since he came back from injury.

I agree with you but fans of other clubs don't agree. Honestly, they act like it never happened at all.

Jesus wept, it's like they think the season lasts forever, no wonder he's not concerned by relegation. Dickhead.

Not for us but for non rovers fans, it expired a long time ago.

I'd probably go the same. Cantwell and Baradji were both shite yesterday, so toss a coin for who plays. Pratt and Acheson showing our transfer business up big time. Despite a few misplaced passes yesterday, I think Acheson looks the real deal, he'll be the next big sale we have.

As I sat watching some premier league highlights this morning whilst having my breakfast, I saw Man Utd beating their local rivals, West Ham and Leeds bagging last minute winners, Sunderland coming from behind to win and i thought, what must it be like to support a normal club? When was the last time we had feelings from games like those fans had yesterday? We don't hate Venkys enough.

Another abysmal performance and defeat on Tuesday, might just up the boycott numbers. Really wouldn't surprise me if the club did actually sack him in a desperate last ditch effort to quell the unrest. The signing of Jorgensen helped a fair bit but all that work was undone after 3mins into yesterday's game.

Pretty sure they brought Miller straight back in when he returned from international duty. We're absolutely desperate, so he'll probably play.

Is Alebiosu back for this?

Assume RG will be sacked at the end of the season, whether we stay up or not? It's clear that the data driven approach to player recruitment and the appointment of Ismael has been a spectacular disaster. Oh, wait, we're not a normal club are we? He'll probably get promoted to CEO

I see Chelsea fans were protesting against their ownership yesterday. Spent £1.3bn and the fans still ain't happy. Some effort that.

We're not winning. If Jorgensen starts, you never know, we might get 1 on target.

Obviously a lot of poor performances today. As well as Cashin, I thought The Moose was particularly dreadful today.

It's going to be one spectacular own goal when our relegation is confirmed. Most fans called it from day 1 that selling our Championship experience and replacing them with dross from relegated second division Belgium clubs was always going to end in tears. The cherry on the cake when they shuffled Hyam out the back door in the last minute. That was confirmation for most that we'd be down at the bottom all season. Throw in a proven failure as a manager and the writing was on the wall. They've sleep walked straight into this with excuses after excuses, letting games pass by with all the talk about unavailable players, or how "the data shows" we're better than the results suggest. Dismissing the fans concerns and straight up insulting us by suggesting the squad is better now. They'll be many a Rovers fan saying "We told you so", when the curtain on our stay in the Championship is drawn to a close.

We started with 4-2-3-1.
