Hopefully pal need a total clear out. Need to get our rovers back and get Ewood rocking again like years ago

JDTs biggest mistake of the Season, Whaldsted in goal. Watching him it's like a schoolboy between the sticks the size of him. If we don't get a result against Huddersfield next Saturday, it could be his downfall when the boos ring out and the chant turns to jdt out !!.

I’d have Nyambe over Britain

Pears got injured! Who else was he going to stick in next.

Leo was a risk buy, sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t…Sadly for him it’s not quite working out - He needs a loan.

Leo doesn't need a loan, what he needs is to improve.

Hes certainly gone backwards since he arrived and if the idea is to improve players it's not working is it with defenders and keepers.

To invest 800 grand on him in our climate now was as stupid as given Ennis a 4 year contract.

There are problems here at this club again it's amateur hour.

You're right, it should have been Kaminski but that isn't JDT's fault.

Erm thats the whole point of a loan…It’s clearly not working for him here, his confidence is shot…We need him to develop where it doesn’t affect us…

[tomphil]

And the players other better placed clubs want from us are the ones who get frozen out !!!

What does that say ?

i don`t think leo is up to the level of football that is played in this division,it`s to much for him and he needs to be quietly spirited away back to scandanavia,the same with telalovic,neither of them are good enough

You don’t think Leo is used to playing the Championship level, so you think we should send him out on loan to pick up more experience *checks notes* exactly where we got him from?

You could be right but they’re both our players now and for a few years…Best way to develop players is to send them out on loan to league 1.

Sending a player elsewhere is not always the solution. The player has to knuckle down and want to succeed. Where would Leo go on loan to improve. At the moment he is not playing at league standard, so he may as well turn out for our U21s. Or are our keeper coaches not good enough to get him over his problems ?

Who the hell in league 1 or 2 are going to want Leo ?

Yes he's got to go into the U21s and be worked hard every game on the basics of English football.

He won't like it but he'll like it even less if this carries on.

Disagree- I think Waggott’s telling Venky’s that they don’t need to spend any money at all, on players. Venky’s- being gullable- are lapping it up. 

He probably is, but in terms of his power to sack or appoint a manager, he has none.

i would`nt send him on loan.id`e get rid of him permanently,he is`nt going to get to the level required,we are going to take a massive loss on him but sometimes you just have to accept it

Chief rats being Venkys. Any chance you are referring to something about them - or is this, more likely, in relation to player/coach departures?

If that’s the case then maybe it’s about time the fans made sure their voices are heard.

Theres nothing else.

You mean like the Reading fans today? I don't think Rovers fans have got the bottle to do it. You deserve what you get.
