Really fear for us tonight.

Wigan get an early goal and could become very toxic.

Give over.

Watching from home tonight - bloody Sky moving games.

Missing the Riverside.

Love that 

It's genius isn't it?

"It will be inexcusable if the lot of them aren't sacked after this just as it's inexcusable that the useless and devious Waggott."

Not the only one on the sauce.

An interesting day to put it mildly.

Can't recall when I've spoken to so many people wanting to discuss Rovers - sadly for all the wrong reasons.  Finding even the remaining diehard Blues, who think Rovers can do no wrong, are struggling with this debacle.  Even @chaddyrovershas been struck dumb!

I understand Rovers have been swamped by emails of complaint and I personally know of half a dozen who have written in.

Though Broughton showed some balls, it was, IMO, a classic line in smooth bullsh1t - seen it too often and don't buy it.

I think Nicko is absolutely on the ball with this.  His revelations are incredulous and startling.  I think it shows us as being so amateurish - for feck's sake if you can't complete forms properly you shouldn't be in any type of employment let alone involved in £multi million business transactions.

Live on Sky TV, those going on Monday night have a terrific opportunity to vent their anger and make the wider football world realise just what, IMO, is an absolute sh1t show of a club.

 

will you be venting your anger?

If true, it's spiteful by the EFL and stupid by the club.

Now's not the time for confessions, Paul. 

GB is a breath of fresh air for me.  The stupid conspiracy theories, the calling for sackings, the OTT anger at certain members of staff, and the rest, when the facts aren't fully known sound like the rantings of middle-aged men angry at the world.  

There are some real nutters amongst our fans aren't there?

I’ve stopped going for the last 3 years, nothing exciting going on with the club, no direction, passion, I got miserable being at ewood with it being so empty and with a  dead atmosphere, when it starts ruining your weekends it just gets to the point why am I doing this, sad thing is now I’m starting to not miss it, at one point there must of been 10-20 meeting up for the games and now none of them go. Sad times. 

I really don't know how you can complain if you never go.

I personally, and I know of other like minded, do not think our owners and senior managers care about the club.  IMO, there are too many connected to the club only because it's a gravy train.  I do not see a hunger, a passion, a can do attitude that will move the club forward or start to rebuild a meaningful relationship with the fans.  I think we are now a club without a soul.

I recall the days when you would see the likes of Derrick Keighley, Bill Bancroft and David Brown out about in the area and they'd be only too happy to have a word or two with you.

Make no mistake, seismic changes in ownership and management from top to bottom are needed at Rovers.  We need people who really do bleed blue and white.  Sadly, it might never happen and for that reason, I feel many supporters have been lost for good.

For once we agree.

If we didn't need a striker we wouldn't;t have tried to sign at least two in this window.

Let's just say that if a top EPL club were is that position, there wouldn't be an issue.

JDT's mentioned our failure to take chances in his post-match interview last night.  More than once....

It would be a shocking window if we've actually managed to weaken the forward line.  There's been plenty of strikers on the move.  The only glimmer, is surely the club wouldn't be stupid enough to loan Markanday  out without another body coming  in? 

Thomas replaces Markanday.

No striker equals big fail.

Tired, good night.

It's 11pm. 

But Rovers are far from done. 

From Sharp.

Good win and excellent commentary from McDonaold.

We aren't getting a forward are we?

Any chance of a centre forward?

It's on BBC.

But now we are in them, we don’t fancy it? Must be the only club in the country that thinks that way and it’s pathetic.

Agree, but at the start of the season, which is where I guess these comments came from.
