All of this begs the question, where do we look once weve sold Wharton and Carter without reinvesting on February 1st 

We'll stay up this season, how comfortably I'm not sure right now. Probably depends how fortunate we are with injuries in the second half of the season.

Have to assume if JDT is offered anything remotely decent in the summer (or before) he will be off sharpish. Venky's will still likely only be able to cover costs at best and refuse/be unable to provide anything meaningful for transfers. 

At that point we are probably fucked. Next season could be really grim and make this season look like sunshine and rainbows in comparison. 

[yellowsubmarine]

Have we hit the target AT ALL? Who's our striking coach?

[Dontfuckwithcats]

The past few years we have been smashing it around this time and dropped off into a huge slump narrowly missing out.

 

Hopefully after new year we can do the opposite.

 

Who knows.

 

I don't think the seasons over, not in the slightest, but I senced when Dolan was sent off that we may struggle through the demands of Christmas then re-group afterwards.

Maybe this will inspire some serious business in the January transfer window.

This feels like our Fulham defeat, let's see how the cookie crumbles.

The owners and club in general are heading one way with the supporters very soon. Absolute apathy! You lot aren't arsed so why should we be.

If he does I dont think he will be looking at many offers.

Hes absolutely shredding his own reputation at the moment. Our goal conceded record is mad, who would take that on?

Even away from that, his win rate may be decent for us but his loss rate is appalling - his brand of football has no idea how to grings out results and as soon as a couple of games in a row come up we collapse.

I’m past caring whether he does or not.

Might be better if he did. Seems to have given up which is understandable given the lack of support from the owners. 

[superniko]

Summing up that we have no leaders on our pitch….

Jake Garrett, a young academy lad, eager no doubt, but not someone I’d describe as creative, decides he’s going to take a free kick from 30 odd yards out and have a go at goal. 

How is this allowed. it’s such low percentage, poor decision making, no leaders or authority in our shirts

They weren’t responsible for the rubbish signings

What are you supposed to do when you've got to replace your top goal scorer and GK with no money. 

No pot for transfer fees and wage budget cut by 20% is what he was working with.

[CambridgeRover]

We have no energy, no confidence, no desire

[Ghost7]

Could be a sacking on the way soon. 

[B16Rover]

4 shots and 0 saves forced against a 23 year old 3rd string goal keeper

[roversinmyblood]

Worst game of the season that I have seen.

Ennis is a fat shithead that doesn’t bother turning up, so am I, so I won’t see you NYD. I’d apologise, but those useless pricks won’t, so why the fuck should I?

Your conversion to ‘the Waggott way’ is complete.

Don't be daft. Sacking someone would mean money and work.

Debating leaving the club tbh. What’s the point of turning up, when they don’t?

 

[moerpho]

Here comes the man we’ve probably been missing - Hill for Hyam

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

I was going to give my support against Rotherham but tell you what lads n lasses,if this lot cant be bothered then neither can I...fook it!

Not having my New Years day ruined.

[K-Hod]

The players don’t bother turning up, so why should we? Honestly, today was absolutely shameful and every last one of them should be embarrassed.

[Dolly blue]

I’m starting to feel contempt for the club I love .

Im sick of how the club is run, sick of how it is managed , sick of how it looks, sick of how those shirts are abused by many not fit to wear them…Ive been turning up season upon season…since 1965….feeling helpless . 

[superniko]

There will be about 8k on for some of the mid-week matches in 2024. 
 

VENKYS OUT

Brittain is as feeble as any I can recall in a Rovers shirt. 

(Tin hat on)

Did say at the time Nyambe would be the hardest of the outgoing players to replace.

Not Roberto Carlos in the final third but ver let us down.

Unfortunately he’s just committed to Derby long term. Give me him over Cowardly Callum any day.

Unless Hyam is turning up with 300 million in his back pocket, buying the club, going to take over as manager and borrow another 50million to replace the first team. I would not get your hopes up.

[alcd]

Defeats at home to Rotherham and Cambridge in the New Year will really set the alarm bells ringing. Wouldn’t bet against it.
