I dont get the prats who think "shut it Sharpe". Guy wrote a fair article about the club misusing a striker not a hit piece ffs. I am sure he is as happy as anyone. In fact maybe the article did more

Are you for real?  Bristol away at Milwall Preston away at Fulham Blackburn at home to Swansea. We are 4 points outside the playoffs and on paper by the end of today we could well

So for what seems like about the 1,000th time in the last 10 years, we are debating how best to cobble together a back four. Despite a pretty horrendous run of injuries to attacking players, we a

Ayew is a level above this league and with a depleted back line I fear for us today.

 

He is, but only if he can be arsed!  Either brilliant or anonymous.

The defence is one obvious issue today but I really think Gallagher needs some time out of the limelight too.  He always looks better off the bench to me, almost as though he watches the game beforehand and realises how he can do bits.  Against Brentford he played ok, not amazing by any stretch but when we were under the cosh he worried them a bit and looked lively.

It’s not ‘Uber positive’ to not believe a February home game with a 4 point gap is a ‘dead rubber’. Just common sense.

You may not think we’ll get there in the end, I don’t. But you are just posting for a reaction.

I can see where OEB is coming from.

Technically of course it isn't "a dead rubber". But then again technically we could still go up automatically if we win our last eleven games and all the other teams above us collapse.

Are we really going to bridge the gap between ourselves and the play off positions now when we've failed to do so all season and have looked countless gift horses in the mouth in that respect?

There's always that glimmer of hope but I dont have any expectation whatsoever it will happen.

A 4 point gap going into a February home game isn’t ‘a glimmer of hope’.

We won’t be in the top 6 by May, as for me we just aren’t good enough, but it’s some serious mental gymnastics to call a game right now with the table as it is a ‘dead rubber’.

How many clubs can lose their best player for the season, one of their best defenders for the season, a midfield regular for the season and the newish fella with pedigree and promise for the season and STILL be 'in the mix'?

I'd argue not many.

The apathy on here at times is literally unbelievable.

Like who? Set of girlies

Travis probably. He's the most niggly, irritating player we have had in a long while and does like to leave a bit of 'afters' in with a tackle.

Grrr...... we're NOT in the mix!

4 points outside the play offs might as well be 14!

If we get to the stage when we're level on points with the team in sixth place then we're in the mix.

It is woeful, but our recent history doesn't suggest we will roar like lions and decimate our Welsh opponents in anticipation of a late surge into playoff contention. No, instead all of the portents are that we will be heading home wondering what might have been if, just if....

Bollix to it - 4-1 to the mighty rampant Rovers at 4.50 is my guess. You just have to look at the table, goal difference and the weather forecast to work this one out.. Swans to score first, and Rovers to roar back with a dose of the feckits..

Yeah, but he's no Andy Todd. Could do with that at this stage

Just seen the away fans sign instead of the historical pics. I don’t know what everyone’s moaning about . It compliments the bird shit and mould under jack walkers name perfectly

Jesus wept so we're 4 points of being in the mix according to you. Not 40, 4 points ?

We were in 6th when we were winning at Brentford, if that isn't 'in the mix' then I'd give up on Rovers mate as I don't think it'll get any better than this anytime soon.

Yes we were in the mix when we were 2 up at Brentford.

Then we chucked it away.

After Tuesday night's results we had a chance to get back in the mix.

On Wednesday night we chucked it away.

When we were 1 up at Huddersfield we were 3rd. Been all downhill ever since.

All those chances....wasted.

Agreed. But claiming we're not in the mix is a bit ridiculous. And in truth with our injuries we're far ahead of where I'd expected us to be.

The easy thing to do was play Mulgrew. Ryan gives us so much going forward. We have lost that now playing CB..Benno at RB  oh no..Another afternoon watching paint dry..
