I wonder what the Rovers players will be talking about instead of concentrating on the game

He’ll be in charge today but likely gone before Wednesday’s WBA game

Looks like my mole was correct (see title post). He’ll be in charge tomorrow but could have gone by the time of the West Brom game on Wednesday.

Do you actually go to games? It must be bleedin’ obvious even in your one-eyed world that Rovers are not good enough to finish in the top 6. Nowhere near.

Tony Mowbray didn’t take it seriously. The opposite in fact.

Yes, we're going to WBA. Mind you, we went to Loftus Road thinking our losing run could not continue. Mowbray (and Armstrong?) and the immutable law of the ex - what could possibly go wrong?

That's a very rosy view Another is that Preston battered us in the last 15 minutes and could and should have won. Why couldn't we do the same to QPR last night - we barely got in their half after they scored their second? Have we been playing well - really? I went to Oxford and we were dire apart from the last 5 minutes. Another game decided by slender margins and one mistake, which keep happening. The fitness issue affects all clubs This isn't perpetual half glass full stuff, just trying to be realistic. We've a very limited team that struggles - painfully - to score goals.

Eight points from the last 33 is freefall. It's relegation form. Some folk on here think we'll pick up form from now on with fewer games and the new signings etc but standing watching at Loftus Road last night I don't see it.

That was a hard watch at Loftus Road tonight. Time to admit what’s staring us in the face: Rovers are a poor side. The quality just isn’t there. This team hasn’t a hope in hell of making the top 6 and will probably finish somewhere in mid table, which would be a fair reflection of its abilities What’s the modern word for something that’s ordinary, or uninspiring: meh? Apart from one of two, that’s how I’d describe most of the Rovers players. They’re meh. Just a team of journeymen going through the motions Depressing

Yup we were there. Our 100 per cent record still intact

Poor. Excellent Pears save and a couple of last ditch tackles. Could easily be 2-0 Rovers are not a top 6 team

Of course he is! I bet he can’t believe his luck. My answer to him would be, stick the ball in the net mate and we’ll think about it

These are questions that the management need to answer (not that they'd give an honest reply) Assuming the club has done forward planning (ha!) and these players were identified as targets before the window opened, because they were cheap and surplus to requirements at their clubs, why weren't they signed at the start of the window? Or were they in fact desperation signings as the club fished around for any player at the bottom of the barrel who was still available and not wanted by anyone else on the very last day?

Some folk are easily pleased ☝️

You know there's bound to be a problem..... none of Rovers' own making of course

And therein lies the problem...... Apart from the one player with a bit of pedigree, Dennis (who is unlikely to be match fit), they're all squad players, none that you could say is a guaranteed, automatic starter who is better than what we already have and will improve the team

You're not the only one. I was looking forward to going to the Hawthorns......

Dennis should strengthen the team but is he match fit? The lad from Luton will be a bench warmer - I can't see with his (lack of) pedigree and record how he'd be a first pick And they're loans, meaning we're likely have to start all over again in the summer All in all, that's a poor window (again). As little money spent as possible, and will we really be that much better? Meanwhile, Sheffield United have brought in Ben Brereton-Diaz, Hamza Choudhury, Tom Cannon and Rob Holding, That's what you do when you're in a position of strength And WBA filched Adam Armstrong from Soton. Did we know he was available, did we ask?

Yup, I'll be there to watch him score too It's inevitable

This last minute drama is ridiculous These signings should have been sealed early today Other clubs in desperate need of players like Rovers would have done them weeks ago

You’ve said this before. Really don’t see it. He’s not tough enough for English football

Both players being reported close to signing on the BBC now - a trusted source. Have to say Woodrow ‘s goalscoring record doesn’t inspire. What do they see in him except a cheap shirt filler? Desperation signing

Dennis Nielsen? He would be lethal in our attack

Traffic jam on the M1 standstill till midnight Could only happen to Rovers
