We're going to win this one comfortably. Telalovic to bag a hat trick and Ben Chrisene with a 4th. All other results likely go for us as well and the Eustace revolution kicks into life at last, and we storm up the league.........

.........

.......I'm kidding, we'll get beat

(Happy April Fools 🤡)

Move him to RB to replace soft lad and get Ayari into the middle, he looks a very good player to me.

Yeah I think Ayari is a decent player. 

For all of the stick Brittain gets, he was good in the second half against Ipswich.

I like JRC in centre midfield cos he can get box to box and gives us a goal threat from the centre midfield role

So do I tbh.

I just don't think he was that great against Ipswich, not a surprise considering he's been out injured but his run for the disallowed goal aside, he was poor. He made a poor challenge and was brushed off in the build up for their goal as well.

I still rate him and wouldn't be disappointed to see him start, we just looked better when he went off.

I'd go the same, if we had a half competent keeper waiting in the wings he'd be in for Pears but alas, we don't.

As good as JRC can be, I thought he was poor overall yesterday and we looked better when he went off. He's painfully slow as well.

I'd consider Ayari in his place tbh.

Rotherham aside, all the other teams around/below us have it in them to grab a win from no where. We're the only team that doesn't have a win in them.

We'll go down.

What is that, 1 win in 18, 2 wins in 22(?). We’re absolutely nailed for relegation. I have zero doubt. 

Based on those stats, we deserve it.

I don’t know what you see in him, I think he’s dreadful tbf.

He was good in the second half. Not sure how anyone can say otherwise.

A stunning recovery from their keeper.

*tin hat on*

Id actually say we've been quite good. 

Much improved in this half sure.

Why didn't we do this in the first half though?

Im struggling to find something positive to say about Eustace after his arrival. 

It'll be 10 games without a win, exactly what we didn't need. 

He's killed off our attacking threat entirely, made us harder to beat but still beatable.

Not convinced by him at all.

Ipswich come out to put the game to bed.

We are just ambling around a bit.

Eustace needs to change things up at half time but no idea what he could do as the bench is full of poor options.

Ayari probably at some point is about it.

We've restricted them to two baby-legged strikes on goal and had one, possibly two goals chalked out for offside. 

Yeah, I'm pleased with the performance. 

Only 1, Chrisene missed (by some distance) and their lad just stuck in the net because he knew it was offside.

We've not had a single shot, not 1.

FFS

Great football that

Should have stood as well.

Edit: ah maybe not

We are so, so poor.

Pears is fucking shite, wtf was that?

Ipswich can go top and you'd expect them to be well up for this to get that win.

Our lot generally aren't up for a game at the best of times, could be a long evening ahead.

Not sure on that lineup but you know you can't rely on Gallagher or Buckley for any reasonable amount of time, they are just far too injury prone.

We don't have many goals in that side (as always)

The McGuire transfer error is just absolutely astonishing the more you think about it.

The fact we had him in the shirt, revealed him as a Rovers player only to have not had it confirmed by the league, for a second time in 12 months and for no one to have been fired...

It's absolutely insane.

We are talking unprecedented levels of incompetency.

I'm struggling with every match day to think that this really happened again and that we are seemingly expected to turn up and pretend it didn't. There is zero accountability at the level it matters most.

Good luck to the players in the final fixtures but off the field at this club it's an absolute disgrace.

 

3rd time wasn't it?

McGuire, O'brien & Brierley?

(Or was it different for the Brierley kid?)

Phew. I was worried for a minute about the future of our club.

 

Lol

They weren't very supportive in the summer when we had a real chance to push on, just cuts to all budgets 🤔

Or in January when they sold our best player for a record fee and then cancelled any incoming transfers for a fee.

Well, Ipswich comprehensively dismantled Sheff Wed yesterday, which doesn't fill me with much confidence for this one.

Pressure will be on, knowing the other results but these lot don't do well under pressure, so expecting a defeat.

Alan Myers saying he's had 3 potential buyers interested but no dice from the cretins.

Only saw the highlights but it looked like we got away with one here. They had some good chances and somehow failed to take just 1 of them.

It's a point away from though and Boro are in some good form.

He is literally trying to draw us to death though.

Assume we've switched to a 4-2-3-1, great to have Tronstad back but let's hope he's not been rushed back.

Not seen what Eusless has had to say this week. Is this a must win game or not ?

Nope.
