Embarrassment for us as supporters but not for them. Why would it? They don't care.

My take on it too - the owners are not going to sell up, ever, because they don't need to. Rovers are a minor irrelevance, and the club's long term fate on and off the pitch is of little concern. The club ticks over on minimum investment and their man in the club manages the day-to-day stuff that is of no interest to them. We've been placed in the metaphorical bottom drawer, maybe to be looked at again at some point in the distant future I cannot see what might shift their stance, other than an embarrassing loss of face from an event that drew international attention.

Ismael reckons the squad is the equal if not better than the one that finished last season If that’s the case, why are we struggling so badly (injuries notwithstanding) and have sunk from near the top of the league when Ismael took over to close to bottom? Could it just be Valeri that you’re not very good?

I don’t think he will for the reasons you state. It’s just a forlorn hope that someone at the club might do the right thing for once

Ismael has been sacked after an average of 7 months from his other jobs. Could this be the first where he actually resigns?

McCullum (and Ismael) will be gone by then hopefully

They’ve given up The manager doesn’t know what to do There is only one outcome to all this

I thought Wednesday on Monday was the worst I’d seen in years but Wrexham on Thursday is plumbing new depths. How could he pick the same team and expect a different outcome?

Rovers struggle to score so that goal likely means it’s game over

Henrikksen (sp?) starting again after his dreadful display at Sheffield - really??

Evidence? Nil

Ballroom Blitz - Sweet

Knackered, depleted squad and a toothless attack: a draw is the best we can hope for Let’s be realistic. Rovers 0 Wrexham 2

Even if we were relegated I think it's unlikely Ismael would be sacked. He's got a 3-year contract, he's in this together with his henchmen and the owners wouldn't want to pay him or them off. The club would even put a spin on the PR post-relegation and the reasons for him staying "building for the long term", "3-year project", "believes we can bounce back straightaway", "looking forward to brighter future" etc etc etc

The Hull game is irrelevant. The world I live in is on last night's evidence Wednesday are probably the weakest team I've seen in the Championship for years. The game was there for the taking in the first half hour when Wednesday never got out of their own half We need 2 new forwards

Bannon should definitely have scored when through on goal and the lad at the end only had to toe-poke it in.

Wednesday were as poor a side as you will see at this level yet we still gave them 2 gilt edged chances from which they should have scored. I understand alot of our lads are running on fumes at present with all the games and the thin squad but we should have won that game at a canter. How did Ohashi miss that header and Cantwell scuff that shot in front of goal late on? Wrexham game is going to be tough. I cannot see where our goals are coming from and the defence will have to be on its mettle against an in-form side. I'd take another 0-0

Henrikkson is a poor player. What is he, because he’s certainly not a forward? Did we actually pay money for him? I don’t see what he offers, apart from running around a lot. But then our family dog does that

If we tolerate this then our children will be next

On the way home Thoughts Wednesday were truly awful. And so were we because we couldn’t beat them Henrikkson would struggle in the semi pro game. Terrible. Ohashi, oh dear. We desperately need 2 new forwards Lack of quality and pace right through the team. It’s going to be a long hard struggle to stay up And Wrexham will win easily at Ewood on Jan 1

Yes. And my record in these sort of matches isn't good.

Thanks we've managed to nab 3 of the last 8 tickets Obviously strong demand No credit to the club whatsoever on this

Can't find extra Sheff Wed tickets on rovers.co.uk. Can anyone provide a link please?

Those travelling from distance will need clarity sooner rather later on whether tickets will be made available I look forward therefore to a club statement around 7pm

I'm just glad all that preparation in the first 3 warm-up games games meant England won the first Test in Melbourne
