Wasn't Simms recalled on the 31st December leaving Sunderland all January to sign one? 

Yep, almost immediately after his leaving gift, a last minute winner again, FFS

Sunderland are a good watch.

There, I've said it.

Yeah and O’Nien watched his wife give birth at 1.00am this morning. Shot over to the team hotel for a few hours kip. Played a full game at 12.00 and was outstanding at the back for Sunderland. Our players need a week off after their wives have given birth !

It’s all about having the right attitude and that’s why we’ll never win anything.

With Sunderland playing well at the end of the season and us falling away again,maybe its time to stop calling it a Mowbray death spiral that we had the last few years and it is just a Rovers death spiral,we have/had have a squad of players that cant see it through when the going gets tough.

That thought went through my mind when I watched todays game.

Managers come and go, players come and go, but one thing never changes. You’ve got it in one.

Barely any players have come under JDT - that's the bloody problem. He needs to be given the opportunity to build his own team, rather than trying to pump life into Mowbray's rabble.

Half of it isn't even Mowbray's rabble, it the youth team.

True, only three of the starting XI on Saturday was an actual TM signing…

More championship cheating a big dive by Morris

Shameful, ably assisted by a shite referee beyond incompetent.

[davulsukur]

So the championship team of the season has been named. 10 of the 11 players come from the teams that occupy the top 5 places at present:

Dingles

Sheff Utd

Boro

Luton

Coventry 

With the 11th player playing for Bristol City.

Rovers have been in the top 6 all season (up until now) and yet you couldn't make a case for anyone of our lot. 

I guess it highlights just how inconsistent our players are and how we really don't have a couple of standout players at all.

Hyam is about as good as we've got and you wouldn't be making a decent claim he deserves to be in it.

[Mattyblue]

Yet Sky pick us pretty much every week 🤷‍♂️

[wilsdenrover]

If Sheffield United win one of their next two matches Luton won’t be able to catch them for second place.

That might come in handy for when we play them next Monday. 

Then again, we’ll probably mess it up regardless…

[AllRoverAsia]

Please tell me that Graham Scott is not refereeing us in any of our remaining games.

What enjoyment does he get from being a complete plank.

Probably because we are generally good entertainment.

Just not for Rovers fans 😟

Watching Luton tonight, they’re nothing special, we can beat them at home.

Steady on! We can't beat anyone at the moment, with our glass jaw tactics.

But I agree, Luton are certainlt  nothing special.

They were pretty ordinary when I saw us lose at Kenilworth Road, but they know how to win matches

They also have a goal scoring centre forward
