According to that article, Sammy’s value has risen to £5m this season. Quality piece. 

We have some pretty limited footballers. Jesus.

yet he was very good at Sunderland and at home to Southampton for an example? 

I recall one suicide pass to the opposition in the Southampton game so I wouldn’t describe it as “very good”. 

I think Sammy as capt for the remaining games has got to be worth a try. 
How can Hyam have any respect after that performance? Astonishingly bad for a player who has shown he is capable of much better in the past. Which makes his performance all the more unacceptable. 

Huge impact being made by the subs.

Smoz...absolutely worth his weight in Gold.

Quick google - makes him worth just over £4million 😂

What’s happened to Callum Britain? Looked a reasonable footballer once. I now crap myself whenever the balls coming to him. The number of times he received the ball and instead of progressing into the space in front of him it’s a ponderous two touches, turn and knock it sideways back to where it came from. Zero risk football. No bottle. The sort of player that gets you relegated. We have a few of them.

I hope the reason for my posting this isn't coming to pass.

Either say it, or say nothing. I don’t see the point of such a post other than to make people aware you know something the rest of us don’t.

Not sure many were saying "anyone is better than the Walker trust" although they needed to go. They didn't want to be here and Rovers needs committed people not part timers looking for an exit.

How many of the current 92 would you class as worse than Venkys?

The current 92 arent going to buy us. I meant potential owners if you need some clarification. My bad. 
 

Plenty wanted rid of the Walker trust.  I pointed out the alternatives could well be a lot worse

There's currently a very, very short list of people I wouldn't want at Rovers rather than the current lot, and I doubt people running other clubs with a degree of professionalism would be on that list.

Almost anything better than the purgatory inflicted by the current regime.

There are plenty of owners as bad as and worse than Venkys. 
 

I remember the days when “anyone is better than the Walker trust”. 
 

9pts to play for in Eustace world. No games are must wins until it’s mathematically necessary. 
 

I would rather have gone down watching JDT football, at least it was more entertaining. 

coyb and all that

Agree, although the wound is a gangrenous festering limb stump.

Garrett has to be one of the two in the middle surely.

Couldn't care less about this game in all honesty. I hope he's not silly enough to play our strongest 11.

All focus needs to be on the next 3 league games. If we don't pick up at least a couple of wins from those then we are heading for league 1. Stoke will probably change their manager soon so we need to pick up some points. Not that we've had any real new manager bounce but most clubs do.

Where’s the fun?

You sound like some kind of corporate bean counter.

Koumetio isn't any footed if reports from the Liverpool end are to be believed.

We know JDT would have given this everything.

Over to JE to match his enthusiasm for Cup games.

Have to take our chance when it comes along. Worry about Newcastle pace against McFadzean. Fear Bruno will give Bucko a footballing lesson and Dolan will be little boy lost. 

Not sure the pop at Dolan is justified at the current time. There’s a few in the queue in front of him.

It's all a bit "meh" isn't it.

It sounds like we're now a dreadful watch but nevertheless Eustance has managed four points from his three games in charge. If we'd stayed with JDT and lost those three games, which is a distinct possibility, we'd be sat just one point above the bottom 3 now.

What I don't understand is how we've managed to coach any creativity out of the side within 72 hours of Eustace taking over. Are players SO one dimensional they can't continue to do those things they were actually doing well under a new Coach?

Needs must this season I guess. Whether this is sustainable in the long run is a different matter.

It lasted 5 years under Mowbray. Dull as dishwater.

Yet Lowe & Benson remain in position after yet another change in Manager/Coach... Let him bring his own staff I might be able to get behind him, the fact he only gets an assistant like all his previous incumbents its just more of the same shit different day.

Watching Lowe in matchday warmups is cringeworthy to me. He looks like an over promoted school PE teacher. 
 

Any decent manager (Head coach!) will spot this and assign the appropriate tasks to him that suit his skill level (or lack of). 
 

However, the Head Coach should be allowed to bring in the best person to implement his vision. Unfortunately, if Eustace is any good, he will quickly realise he is going to have to do it himself.

"Most of his best work goes unseen"

They used to say that about Corry Evans.

I'm far from convinced in the ability of this lot to get Eustace or anyone for that matter over the line within a reasonable time scale. I think it's a bit premature to be talking of models being abandoned at this stage but if the model of selling anything of value that moves were to be ditched I'd be all for it.

Interestingly you're meant to get a notification on submission.

Evidently Rovers didn't get a notification after 3 hours.

IT MAKES NO SENSE!!!

IF YOU DON'T GET A NOTIFICATION ON ONE OF OUR BIGGEST SIGNINGS IN YEARS YOU'D LOOK WHY!!!!

IT DOESN'T ADD UP

Agree. There’s more to this than utter incompetence. I know occams razor suggests utter incompetence, but there’s too much circumstantial this time. 
 

I put O’Brien down to utter incompetence last time. I’m now not sure. 

And there’s Brierley as well. 

Come on. 

Words fail me.
