I’m obviously hoping it goes well today, but if it doesn’t it will kick off, and I’ll end up arguing with the happy clappers who sit behind me.

never argue with an idiot,they bring you down to their level

[roversfan99]

Did Tomasson authorise those signings? And it sounded like a case where he was just desperate for anyone in the end. He said he had said yes to a lot of players in one interview when nothing was happening. 

The business we have done this season due to the uncompetitive budget slashing by the owners has been dismal. None of the 6 in January have improved us.

Derby County back in the Championship, superb scenes from Pride Park.

Here we have another club who have risen from the ashes, much like Coventry, Luton and Bournemouth to name a few more.

Our time will come.

VENKYS OUT - NOTHING ELSE MATTERS 

[Ianrally]

I don’t get the theory that Leicester won’t try against us if they have been crowned champions before facing us. Last game of the season in front of their home fans, of course they’ll want to go out with a bang. 

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

I can’t see Derby doing a Rotherham or not investing.

[JHRover]

If Bolton get through the play-offs I wonder who the 'be careful what you wish for' gang will use as their poster for why we can't hope to be rid of Venkys.

All these other clubs who go bust, reset, get through it and go again, coming back in far better health than Venky Rovers.

One day we'll do the same, we need to, just hope its sooner rather than later.

They’ll stick with Bury.

This is not true.

Chrisene is a better WB than Pickering. Ayari should, quite frankly, be starting most games in CM and McFadzean has won multiple MOTM awards in 6 months.

The problem is we didn't bring in any pace or a CF. Again.

Oh they'll absolutely do us.

A bunch of talented show ponies with zero pressure and a party atmosphere? 

We're going to get battered. 

[chaddyrovers]

Tomasson has to yes to any player joining Rovers @roversfan99. We didn't had competitive budget? really? How did that budget we compare to the luton's promotion season budget? 

Tronstad has been good signing, Sigurdsson and Moran shown spell of goodish, Hill good loan signing, Ayari and Chrisene should have played more recently, Ennis very disappointed and Telalovic we barely seen, Wahlstedt poor so far

The biggest problem is the lack of quality goalscoring striker signing in January and no pace wide signing. Sonething that Eustace will address in the summer transfer window

Most of us said exactly the same about Leeds, and they had a lot to play for.

Should have, would have, could have. Ayari and Chrisene have made very few starts and thus very little impact. McFadzean is too slow at his age and although he did well today it has been a mixed bag with a particular low against Plymouth. Then the other 3 have played 0 minutes, 17 minutes and about 50 minutes.

Tronstad is the only success out of a considerable number. Sigurdsson and Moran have been huge disappointments. Hill was ok and wasnt here long. The rest have in the main been totally absent or very poor.

Luton bought Carlton Morris, Cauley Woodrow and Alfie Doughty in the season they went up for decent fees. They also didnt sell their best player, their goalkeeper, loan out their captain and also shed many big earners. So not comparable.

How do you know that Eustace firstly will be allowed to address it financially, and then he can adequately identify the required players? He really is still in the honeymoon period with you whereby he is trusted implicitly by you in all aspects despite a lack of evidence to justify it and will be until he eventually leaves the club and youll agree with the decision and soon forget about him and retrospectively criticise him like with Tomasson and Mowbray.

we don't agree, so lets leave it there

but was their wage budget compare to ours? 

Wharton was sold cos a club met our asking price and Travis was loan out for the reasons already mentioned by JDT and GB.

The DoF and the recruitment will have already have transfers lists for Eustace ad GB to pick from. That's how our model works. JDT had a say in transfer and no player was signed without him saying Yes. who knows on the money point. 

I have never said I trusted Eustace implicitly and I said last week against Sheffield Wednesday he got it badly wrong tactically and his subs were too slow and too late 

[rovers11]

Come on Hull. We need them to get at least a point tonight. That will make it very tough for Plymouth to beat them next week. 

[Bbrovers2288]

Frustrating that we lost our gd advantage to Birmingham, lost 2-0 to Bristol city instead of 5 and you would be fairly confident that we were safe tonight, as it is we can’t get beat and Birmingham win without us losing out on gd, slim margins but we tend to not fall on the right side of these, albeit as mentioned above a lot of that is our own doing 

[DE.]

George Hirst firing Ipswich back to the Premier League. Lol.

[Exiled_Rover]

Ipswich have definitely sold their soul to the devil for this season. They're so lucky.

Shit ball into the box, Morton air-shots the clearance and it falls to Hirst 6 yards out to put it into the back of the net. Painful to watch. 

[Silas]

Tyler Morton you useless git. 

[simongarnerisgod]

love it if leeds and southampton get knocked out in the play offs🤣

What I wouldn't give to be in the parallel universe where we had given Hirst time and a contract and sold Gallagher.

Or, you know, just not sold the club to Venkys.

[Bbrovers2288]

Couldn’t write that from a rover point of view, needing hull to get something, Morton mistake leads to a clinical finish from hirst. What kind of universe is this 

[Silas]

Has it been mentioned that it was Wagner that helped relegate us last time....to the benefit of Birmingham. 🙈🙈

Rested his Huddersfield team and played such a bunch of donkeys that 'Arry's team won even after an early sending off. 

I do not like the similarities here.

We're just cursed for as long as Venky's own us. They have the opposite of the midas touch when it comes to running a football club.

As others have said, will Wagner want to risk finishing 6th and having to face Ipswich/Leeds over two legs?

Regardless of the result this evening Norwich will need to go full strength to try and finish 5th and get an easier playoff game vs an out of form Southampton
