Anybody know what the most recent odds are on our relegation ?

The latest Travis exit episode is another nail in the Rovers coffin. Absolutely sadden by the club repeatedly hitting the self destruct button.

Its just a matter of when...

It is my sad duty to report that having had to endure that garbage at the Hawthorns today that Rovers are going to be relegated 

11 players who have given up and not fighting for their shirt or the club 

[Rogerb]

Next two home league games crucial to the season now Huddersfield and QPR. Vital not to lose either.

10. I thought Garrett had a go at least.

I will still take that bet.

10pt buffer will see us through.

Next season though 🫣

Most of which wouldn’t be on the pitch if it wasn’t for the owners. 

It didn’t happen overnight.

[Mattyblue]

Next three games all at home against sides currently 21st/23rd/17th in Huddersfield/QPR/Stoke.

Think we’ll have a decent idea one way or another after those how this season is going to pan out…

Just seen the goals. Dear me. The keeping for the first goal is diabolical. That's a goalkeeper who has lost so confidence. So much fancying around at the back it is unreal. Tronstad, there was a clip of him looking absolutely broken. 

 

Very bad signs

Tronstad came and apologised to the fans after the game. That was a bit of brightness for me on a dark, dark day.

[broadsword]

Yeah, it did look too me like he cared

Yes a very good goal and tried his best

I think we’ll probably just survive this season.

Next season could be grim from the get-go.

For the first time this season I really feel the we are going down I'm dreading every game now. 

The confidence has gone, the team is bottling it.

If we don’t drop this season, I’m getting my mortgage on us doing it next time out.

We look like relegation on a stick, but we still have a ten point cushion tonight.

If QPR win tomorrow, it’ll still be eight,

The next few home games will be pivotal.

We will know a lot more after games against possible relegation rivals.

We couldn’t beat Rotherham and nearly lost.  What more to you need to know?

No matter how bad we were at Huddersfield and West Brom, it is still a big ask for a bottom three club to make up 10 points in 19 games.

All of Huddersfield, QPR and Wednesday have to win at Ewood to send us down.

We're virtually losing every game!

Honest question, can you see us winning any of those, on current form?

[Mattyblue]

I can. We start a game well and get a goal in front, then yes. Especially with a slightly less calamitous keeper in goal.

On the flip side we concede early, confidence goes, non-Teflon Jon starts getting grief and they will be some long afternoons.

We will lose all three of these games.

[MarkBRFC]

One time I do agree with Philipl. 

10pts will be enough to see us through and we will pick up the odd result along the way to help it.

The sides in the bottom 3 won't all of a sudden start to win every week.
