Great little ball around the corner by Henriksson but Ohashi should do a lot better.

Why on earth would Cantwell want to/be allowed to play with a necklace in his glove?

Correct

We'll be very lucky if we get anything out of this. We've barely been in the game at all.

Yes, I'd swap back if I'm being totally honest. Just to be clear, I'm not saying Alebiosu is bad, he's great.

I think he'll play Henriksson up with Ohashi.

Leagues ahead is some overstatement. Alebiosu is decent, no doubts. Brittain is much better in regards to technical ability, Alebiosu looks almost clumsy but still gets past his man and has a knack of digging out a cross when it looks like he shouldn't be able to. A game of opinions of course, though.

Merry Christmas Rovers fans!

I wonder if they are planning to offload Kargbo somehow? (How long is he out for?) Can't see where he plays in this team.

I've watched a couple of Boro games this season and Brittain was really good in both. Brittain is the better player as it stands right now but Alebiosu might develop into a better right back given time.

Makes it look so easy.

Agreed but when does this club do logic?

De Neve won't be going anywhere Gueye & Pickering the most likely only outgoings I'd say.

For all the talk of the squad overhaul in the summer, it's once again the academy that comes to the fore. Pratt and Litherland were excellent, Atcheson also had a good game when he came on. Cantwell, Tronstad, Ohashi all excellent also.

Pasha out banner, nice to see.

Probably the best corner routine we've had under Venky's

That bright start has faded pretty quickly. Be a miracle if we don't concede soon.

Andri!!!

Yikes. Wtf is that? ----------------------Pears -----Litherland---McLoughlin---Pratt Miller----------------------------------Picks ------------Tronstad--Mori --------------Cantwell ---------Gudjohnsen---Ohashi 0-3 Baffling lineup.

Then they should all be leaving the club along with Waggott. An absolutely dreadful appointment that could be seen from miles off.

Good luck! Hope you win!

It feels like Gestede has picked out VI for the "project" and he'll be backing him for the full 3 years of his contract. I don't envisage any situation occurring for the rest of the season that would result in his dismissal, and I include relegation in that. Only chance he's going if Pasha is stabbing everyone in the back right now in India (and he will be) and putting a case forward that he can salvage everything and turn it all around. That would probably be the end for both VI and RG.

Really gotta hope BBC Lancs poses the question to him. Could get really spikey if pushed.

Results will play a part as well. We have some tough and also some critical fixtures between now and the Watford game: Millwall - Tough Middlesbrough - Tough Sheff Wed - Critical Wrexham - Critical Charlton - Critical Ipswich - Tough Swansea - Critical Watford - Boycott I don't see us picking up many points across those whole set of fixtures but there could be some devastating losses in there. If we're in the bottom 3 by the time Watford come to town, we might very well get a lot of fans boycotting.

Like Rudy and probably Pasha, he's pretty arrogant. 1 win in 10 at home, 3 points off the drop, sat 20th in the league, genuinely not sure how he has the stones to have such arrogance that he can't be challenged.
