And missed it, and lost.

You have clearly not read anything I or anyone else has put if that is your reply.

You keep saying "stock piling" players as if we have already got a well rounded squad full of quality. Who these random scouts find is driven by how much money they have. We are given peanuts by the owners. We dont create enough chances nor do we take enough of the ones we do. Our attack is really poor and I suspect that we wont fix that come the end of the window. You will then justify that by saying that its right not to "stock pile" players. Lets just keep the sub par ones we already have.

What? Of course he/she clearly does know what is going on. They keep leaking transfer news etc before anyone else. But it is not "good communication" and it is quire frankly amateurish and grossly unprofessional that we are blocking journalists from asking difficult questions, whilst an insider under an anonymous twitter account repeatedly tweets information. The motive for this is clearly to paint the club in a good or at least powerless light and to turn the anger onto outgoing players. The same account has also got into twitter spats with fans who see through them, for example calling (I think) Glen Mullan a "doom merchant." If you genuinely think that tweeting club secrets through an anonymous twitter account, blocking difficult questions in press conferences and altering minutes from fans forums (which I know you have read but wont comment on) and acting petulantly and unprofessionally during those meetings is all good communication. Then even for you, that is ridiculous. This is well beyond what Ismael says in press conferences. The only issue with the way he approaches those is (in line with man management issues he has had at previous clubs) it risks upsetting team mates and of course, alienating a player who hasnt yet been sold. My issues are not with Ismael.

You are creating scorelines that didnt happen and suggesting that the reaction would have been different had the result been different. I did likewise. Its not a difficult concept to follow.

We dont create many chances although a part of that is strikers anticipating where the ball will fall. Our whole attack is very poor in the main. A massive area of weakness that we seem likely to think will be solved just by signing 1 winger. I see you have gone from us thinking we do need a striker based on your original opinion, to not in order to base your opinion, back to now needing one having seen how toothless we are. Sadly, seems unlikely. Examples like Mitrovic and Kyogo are obviously never going to be realistic but there is certainly a middle ground between that and how little we spend. Especially on wages hence why none of our players will sign new contracts.

I think he only won 4 last season and 0 this?

Had we scored 5 goals then we would have battered and embarassed them and Ismael would have been praised by everyone.

A bitter insider posting transfer updates and painting players leaving as bad professionals whilst journalists are banned from asking certain questions is NOT good communication. You would either have to be unwilling to criticise the club, a bit stupid or have a vested interest at the club to suggest otherwise.

4 wins, 3 draws and 8 losses so far for Ismael.

You are very keen to point out how bad other teams strikers are to try and justify us scrambling around for cheap players. Kyogo will score more goals than and is far better than our strikers. Our 2 strikers are average and poor, not many goals there.

How can we be a decent Championship side and also relegation fodder? I also have seen and am about to see a lot of the fight in the side exiting.

Peterborough's chairman is a knobhead but this is totally different anyway. Journalists being actively blocked from asking certain difficult questions but someone on the inside speaking behind an anonymous twitter handle spitting out pro club messages. I asked but didnt get an answer. You have been very pro Gestede and the current regime and having previously praised him, very noticeably keen to stick the boot into Eustace. Do you have no concerns as to the direction that the club is heading in, do you still have faith in the recruitment, no concerns about our total inability to keep our best players or sort new contracts and do you have any appreciation as to why Eustace couldnt stay, beside just being a "snake?"

Theres not that much quality in general in our price range and with the wages we offer.

@Mercer I thought that Hyam wouldnt play?

The desperation has kicked in, not only the club parrot but now just relentlessly going down the route of blasting negativity and moaning. If you really rate Ismael then a simpler answer would be to just say so. All this other crap is totally unnecessary.

But that didnt happen. I wouldnt be moaning had we won 7 nil playing free flowing attacking football either.

He hasnt been at the club for 2 games. Last season you made a judgement pretty early. Later in his Rovers career you are being evasive, just a simple question. What are your thoughts on Ismael? Why will we get better? Im not sure why it is "looking like" we will finish in mid table. The transition line is another parroted one, more a season of losing loads of key players.

But we didnt win 1 nil. What sort of argument is it to suggest that my reaction would have been different had the game been a totally different result. I am not sure why suggesting that Kargbo is just an athlete is so controversial. The fact that you keep resorting to telling me to stop moaning suggests that you dont have anything constructive to say. Im not sure we had any "great" chances. The goal we did score was barely a half chance, just a fantastic strike from nowhere.

He didnt do anything of note in an attacking sense. If that is him showing what he can do then he cant do much. All I have seen from him in a Rovers shirt is an athlete with not very much ability or intelligence.

My issue has never been the manager not being "open and honest." You have made that up. His comments blaming his staff in my opinion seem a bit ill advised and are the comments of a manager shirking responsibility. Mind you, my issue with Ismael is that I dont think that he is a good manager, very little to suggest he is. Where do you stand on him? You wanted him sacked at one stage. Do you have any doubts that he is the man for the job? Admittedly a difficult job working with poor players.

What would a 1 or 2 out of 10 require the players to do?

Our attackers didnt do anything. Your standards are so low. You speak as if we were away to a Premier League team.

Elliott Jackson gave 6 of our starting 11 an 8 out of 10 mark. Only Tavares failed to get above "par" and he played major roles in the concession of both goals. Talk about low standards.

In what way did Kargbo show what he is about?
