Seeing that lot in a list is even more depressing than when the fixtures were released. 

Shower of @#/?.

We only signed him on a 1 year deal!

Nuttall has clearly been signed to play in the U23's and see how he develops, I'm not sure why people have been looking at him like he's going to be in the first team squad.

Because I find it depressing how the squad list has altered so rapidly over the past few years?

"Thick" supporter?

Well that is a better way of putting it than calling them a "shower of $%&*"

But a less accurate way.

 Fair enough 

If you call your own teams players a shower of $%*$ ,you should give up supporting a football team as it clearly isn't something you enjoy doing. 

Anyway, I think we look stronger than last season on paper and we don't have a chimp in charge

If TM does not finish the season in the playoffs at the minimum, I would consider him a total failure given the squad.

Maybe because without him we go into the season as a professional football club with only two recognised strikers.

Disagree. I don't enjoy supporting us at the  moment, but i still love following football. 

The best way I can describe supporting Rovers at the moment is going to work every day doing a job you love, for a boss you hate.

Ps, Big Racist Al "liked" your post. It's a duffun. That's all the verification I need.

If who like others posts validates your opinions I would think about them a bit more

Life is so black and white eh? Off to talk to a brick wall.

Just because it's a BETTER shower of @#/?, doesn't stop it being a shower of @#/?.

[Dunnfc]

To be fair it looks abysmal on paper, obviously a good squad at this level but never the mind a stark contrast to the roster 7 years ago, utter pish football to look forward too.

Its odd I looked on here the other day and you wouldn't be able to tell with most that we'd just been relegated a 2nd time let alone this summer.

Agree with what your saying.

Bar Al, I've had me dos with him in the past but he's far from a racist, just doesn't share your main stream view and has a totally different opinion.

I disagree. But this isn't really the place.
