See Arteta with Raya - you play your best players. Otherwise why did we use our only paltry budget on a backup keeper?

What’s Top 6 got to with my post stating they’ve looked ordinary tonight? Tony and Sunderland are blessed with a decent wallet, £10m for Clarke, £4m for Bellingham etc. You’re blaming the wrong horse here if you’re snapping at JDT relying on our academy, free transfers, and the dregs of Mowbrays signings for us (Markanday, Pears, Dolan, Pickering).

They’ve looked pretty ordinary to me. Penalty and a swipe from the edge of the area through loads of bodies. Open game and they’re controlling it well now, but I think that’s mainly down to just how useless our 11 on the pitch are, I can count at least 5 that are league 1 at best.

Look at what the bloke has on the bench. Markanday - can’t get a game at Aberdeen Dolan - probably wouldn’t get a game at Aberdeen either Garrett - should probably be on loan at Aberdeen Telalovic - German 4th division part time league. Absolute non-game changers. Venkys fucking us over again and again. Pull all our budget, don’t say a word to fans, no explanation, not been seen for 10 years. All whilst we have a comical commercial operation running alongside. Amazed JDT is hanging around.

Greg and Venkys have done JDT dirty here the fact he’s got to rely on Dilan Markanday as his impact sub.

Hook Wharton for JRC at half time.

HERE WE GOOOOOOO

Yikes. Hedges having a stinker to be honest. Relentless shocking decision making.

A lot of the ‘off-target’ ones were blocked by defenders on target too. Should be at least 2-0 up.

Did we use up all our luck against Harrogate or something. What I’d do to get a few of those goals back

Leonards link up play is superb, just needs a few goals to get that confidence up!

Sum up Rovers start to season in one go with that attack. PUT THE BALL IN THE NET

2026 then?

3 points takes us into the top 6. It’d be a nice place to be ahead of a tough away trip to Ipswich

Huddersfield v Rotherham getting 19k shows how wrong those in power get it at our place. Sooner they're gone the better.

Thought we were outstanding for 60 minutes. A geriatric linesman cost us and made it worse than it needed to be. Think JDT has us on a level I can’t really believe looking at our squad. We’d be relegation fodder if we had the classic journeymen managers of the championship. Imagine if the owners backed him with a proper #9 and not a 4th division German. Love to see our overall xG on it I doubt that would suggest we were lucky at all, Dolan header, travis 8 yards out, Gallagher header, Dolan not pulling it back to Gallagher, Szmodics one on one alone, add in the penalty we should have had (which won’t be on xG) and probably other chances I’ve missed. Positives: Szmodics, Carter, Brittain, JRC off the bench Negatives: EFL officials, shakey Rovers making nervous decisions, Gallagher and Dolan making god awful decisions and even worse finishing Still think Leonard is our best option at number 9 3 points - love it. Few pints tonight, indulge in the dispatches scandal then MOTD

I won’t judge the German lad yet, but I can only assume his agent / a rovers fan edited his Wikipedia to suggest he ran 100m in 10 seconds 😂

Honestly can’t believe what I’ve seen the last 2 mins from the officials. We know they’re useless in this league but this is another level.

We’re playing superb, but JDT needs to be whistling over the German 4th div lad now and tell him to get his bib off. We can’t spend any longer watching Gallagher prance around upfront.

Poetic. Almost have a tear celebrating. What a time to score. Superb lads. For Matt.

Sam Gallagher how have you not stepped back onside there - absolutely nothing in between that lads ears. He even had time with Szmodics slipping a bit on first touch.

Playing some brilliant stuff so far. Brittain looking sharper, bodes well for options when we’re a fitter team

Ditto 😄

Dolan costing us early. Hopefully not the same outcome after Hedges missing the early sitter at Plymouth

Pears starts and Dolan back in for some reason 🤷‍♂️ 6 games in, a fortnight off, and still not a single summer signing in the starting 11. Can that window be rated anything higher than a 5/10?
