As usual Sky have trotted out the "JDT wants to add value to players" line.

This shouldn't be the number one aim, we should be looking to win football matches and the players value will go up as a result. 

Fucking irritating.

Kean - 'book value'

Bowyer - 'book value'

Mowbray - 'squad value'

JDT - 'value into players'

 

It's a load of old bollocks trotted out to justify the fucking around on the pitch, we rarely sell a player when they hit value. They either walk for nothing when they feel like it or stamp their feet for a move then get sold.

How many of these managers have ever said me and the owners want to build a team for promotion ?

[Bethnal]

0-3 to Burnley followed by 1-4 to Preston at home is the kind of narrative a manager gets sacked over. I don’t think he’s worth sacking this soon, we’re not in danger of relegation by any stretch and “I’d rather have a lucky general than a good one,” as they say, but losing the fans so concertedly will only end one way.

[yellowsubmarine]

Ballless bunch of pricks.

[G Somerset Rover]

Trust me I know he’s not alone. But for the love of God strip Travis of the captaincy and drop the bloke.

He’s turning into one dreadful midfielder who looks like he’s at least one league above his ability. He cannot even do the very basics of a professional footballer.

I like Jon, but really what is this shite?

Preston have a simple method in the short time I've been watching...... play in your opponents half of the field instead of your own

It’s not rocket science is it? 

[Tom]

Travis is shocking these days, week in and out he stinks the place up 

[booth]

Drop Travis.

From the town hall roof preferably.

Remember when we were going to use the WC break to drill the players in how to play JDT's style? If this is it we're in for a fucking miserable few months. 

I think that's the issue - the more his style beds in, the worse we are. 

[BigUts]

Travis shouldn't be anywhere this side at the moment. Shite.

Words almost fail me.

Utterly and utterly embarrassing.

This is even worse than Mowbray's Rovers at their worse.

Hammered by Burnley and now PNE at home - FFS, can we get a manager who knows what he's doing.

Need to get owners and CEO ect that know what they are doing first 

[Bbrovers2288]

Travis shouldn’t be in the team just now, if he has hooked buckley then travis deserves the same treatment. As others have said, second to every ball and just don’t look interested. I have mates saying that I’m being unambitious when talking about us due to our league position but Iv said all season there is no way we go up , it’s really quite a poor team 

[moerpho]

Really easy to take us out today. Eliminate Hedges, Brittain and Brereton and we have no width or attacking nous. Central midfield is nonexistent so we need our wide players to perform and not be static.

And this is my main problem with this and Mowbrays team: too static! What happened to "pass and move"!?!

[BigBar]

Travis' decline has been abysmal.

[CrouchingNunhiddenCucumber]

Honestly think I'm done. Venkys have beaten me, utter cunts.

He shouldn't even be in the team.

Whiteman has eaten him and spat him out!

[smiller14]

Did anyone just see Travis totally duck out of a 50-50? Cowardly.

[Dolly blue]

If Travis is deemed capable of wearing a Rovers shirt …so am I and I’m 71 years of age…his decision making is nil , his fitness is poor and his technique is …no words 

[CambridgeRover]

Not to blown my own trumpet, but many of us have seen what travis is for years, he is a league 1 plodder. Good to see that is becoming more and more evident but he needs shipping out

[LDRover]

The club has been dumbed down to the level that most fans are happy that Venkys pay the bills.

30 years ago the fans would have been apoplectic after 2 results like this, these days it's a shrug of the shoulders and see you next week.

10 years of shite and counting...

Likeable bloke but his decisions are idiotic.

Where's Gregg?

His Skype:  Out of Office until January with no access to calls or emails. 

[Sweaty Gussets]

I'm sure John Dull said we would improve after the World Cup break, and that a bit of time on the training ground was all we needed. The guy's a bit of a BS merchant.

I may not make it to the England game after watching this utter sh*te. Mercer, recommend me a bottle of your finest which is likely to knock me out cold please pal.
