Waggott disappeared in the 2nd half - he was the lucky one! Told he was 'locked in negotiations' with a potential new signing and his agent. After tonight's sh1t show, we need half a dozen quality additions otherwise we are going down.

Utter rubbish. Just glad that was a freebie. Disgraceful performance. Buckley was about the best of the dross. We are in big trouble without quality additions to IMPROVE THE STARTING ELEVEN. Only highlight was the opportunity to meet Morten Gamst Pedersen after the match and listen to him talk about his times with Rovers and the great memories - a lovely, articulate young man.

So very, very feckin depressing and completely indefensible in light of the club's statement about our owners and funding. Chaddy dear boy - there no feckin chance Stansfield will come here on loan. Almost equally, Iversen will be too expensive and I think is very overrated - a player whose career is in reverse gear. Looks like it and will be a diabolically bad signing. Shot his bolt at Brum. We simply should not be signing goalies who are going on 38 and whose best years were at least 5 years ago.

Would be great for us. With Heckingbottom in charge there they will finish above Rovers and would be no surprise to see them make the play-offs. They do have ambitions unlike our, IMO, feckin shower. Dykes is a great signing for League 1 and will guarantee them 20 goals and promotion. In decades as a practising accountant, I have never, ever seen what seems to be such irrational behaviour and operational management from owners, executive management etc and I have been involved in some very big companies. I wouldn't hazard a guess of what their end game is. If the club was put up for sale then I would happily carry out due diligence free of charge for any buyer - sadly, I think I would find enough red flags to furnish Red Square in Moscow!!!

Oh God, here we go again! Surely, surely, high on the Recruitment Team's selection criteria is a player's track record of being fit and available for selection in 90% of a season's fixtures.

Not according to this: https://www.ibroxnews.com/2024/08/24/todd-cantwell-downs-tools-at-rangers-as-decision-made-at-ibrox/ Think his attitude stinks - Rovers need to dodge this bullet.

Mentality all wrong. We don't want feckin back up for Pickering, we want someone better....................................................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beck underwhelming. Eustace said signings to improve the team. Is Beck an upgrade on Pickering - think not Cantwell - no, no and no again. IMO, a legend only in his own mind - hasn't he downed tools at Rangers and been relegated to the stiffs!? Not the type of attitude we want here. If we have any sense we wouldn't even touch him with a shitty stick.

Would go: Hilton Duru, Batth, McFadzean, Batty Weimann, JRC, Buckley, Siggy Gueye, Ohashi Hilton isn't up to it but we can’t risk going to Burnley with Hilton in goal should Pears play against Blackpool and get either injured or sent off (hopefully we have a new goalie before Saturday but no guarantees with our shower of a sh1te management). Confident Duru would be fine there whilst it's time for Batty to either shit or get off the pot. Expect us to win 4-2 with that midfield / forward 2. Scoring goals is a wonderful habit and the more you score the more confident you get and the two lads up front need that feeling.

Seems a cert for us then!

After Burnley's performance at Luton, I didn't think we had a prayer. However, it's clear things aren't all well over at Turf Moor. I actually think we've rode our luck a bit in the 3 league games so far and 7 points is a wee bit flattering. First goal is going to be vital and I think Burnley will come out the blocks very quickly. Would like to see the ins and outs this week for both clubs before calling it, however, I think our chances of getting a result after significantly improved since Burnley's opening win at Luton

Has no football intelligence.

Mick Ferguson Andy McEvoy Fred Pickering Bryan Douglas Mike Harrison Now that is what I call a forward line! Goals, goals and more goals - aggression. pace and trickery. Remember them all like it was only yesterday!

Just buy a feckin goalie Rovers. Fed up with all the excuses. No to likes of Ruddy - well past his best No to Rushworth - better than Pears, but who isn't, but not good enough for the number 1 we need No to Iversen - too expensive and overrated. At best his career has stood still. We have a recruitment team and there must be 100's of professional goalies across Europe and if they cannot come up with anyone better than the aforementioned three the they should be binned.

"They call him Eamon Rogers, they call him the king of the land, his hair hangs over his shoulders tied up with a blue and white band" Who remembers that one the Blackburn End sang frequently - know the tune in my head but couldn't name it!

Best full back I've ever seen in a blue and white shirt. However, do remember Tommy Hutchinson destroying him at Bloomfield Road one night match - happens to even the best!

Eustace making quite clear in LT article doesn't want to lose Travis. Feels like huge issues ahead if those above agree for Travis to be sold.

Not only that, their ability to track back and slide tackle with their 'unnatural' leg has virtually gone.

Think clubs might have sussed out that Rovers can't be trusted!

Stanstead will definitely not happen even a loan whilst Drommel highly unlikely to happen. Chaddy, has the penny not dropped yet - seems like we are boracic and it's even a battle to keep the lights on!

If we had proper ambitious owners, I would suggest we would be after players better than most of those! I think some need to take a reality check. Decent players like Iversen and Stansfield even if loaned, don't come cheap and probably out of our range when loan fee and wages factored in. The fact we are trying to get rid of high end earners (like Travis) tells its own story. I think the reality is we will be scavenging for a combination of cheap overseas' signings, those UK based players still without a club and loan signings from PL clubs who no one else wants. Those still dreaming of Stansfield need to wake up and smell the coffee - not a snowball's chance in hell he ends up here even on loan.

Who will be in charge of Blackpool at Ewood following sacking of Critchley? If you have a spare tenner in your wallet then get on Alex Neil at 12/1!

Think we may be heading for murky and dangerous waters!

Think Nixon's Stansfield link was always bullsh1t and perhaps a cynical attempt to assuage Rovers' fans - sadly, some bought it! Goodness know where we go from here in the transfer market. Who would rule out the sale of both Carter and Travis now? Desperate times and we may well now be stuck with Pears as our number 1. It really is frightening and Eustace, if he stays, faces an enormous challenge, again, to keep us in this league.

Why wouldn't they? Who knows where this Indian court case will end and what the outcome may be - I think it's quite clear it is far from routine. The Raos may think feck this, let's get out what we can from our £200million.
