Since we beat Luton in mid-December…

First half of the season form since our return to the Championship = average of 8th

Second half of the season form (same time period) = average of  18th

If we had just pick up 3 wins in Ismael's first 6 games we still be top 6. Argh!!!

Even more depressing to see that smarmy bastard’s shit dingles go top.

Coventry and WBA have been poor since the international break which was my point during that break, Rovers needed to hit the ground running after the international break yet we haven't. Which is huge disappointment for me and something I find annoying from him and the players 

I don't think Ismael thinks this squad is good enough for his own style he wants hence why we don't see since the international break a pattern of play and some style of play but we just some disjointed since then. Since he came in we see us trying the ball wide and into the box more and Friday night second half, I think we see more of what he wants but still disjointed. If Rovers aren't going to sack him then he needs to decide who is part of plans and not for next season, Nicko is saying on his patreon account, Ismael wants an overhaul in the summer in terms of players in and out, But when he came in we were in playoffs and noway should we given up on the playoffs. We need a miracle now to get that but also other teams to dropped off or not get back into form

True but we did other former head coaches and managers. So its a problem. 

We struggled when the expectation is to win. Derby away we got bullied by them. Surely we expect that

Ismael himself isn't good enough, which you have admitted, saying he needs to go ASAP.

[JHRover]

Ismael's average tenure in the last decade has been 26 games (or thereabouts). By the time we get to the summer he will be half way through that here. 

Unless something remarkable happens in the next 6 games his points return is going to be somewhere between rubbish and barely believably bad levels.

What sort of crackpot organisation would then hand him cash and opportunity in the summer to 'overhaul' the squad when in all probability - due to his track record and results to date - he won't be here for much longer?

If he gets to see out 26 games at Rovers, we will be as good as relegated by Christmas

In a similar vein to the United fan who's being moved.

Imagine your football club accusing you of lying.....

Our CCTV has probably been switched off to save on the running costs!

yes I would replace hum but at the minute Rovers aren't sacking and I don't think they were. 

Ismael will be here next season so lets hope he proves us all wrong and get his 1st win tonight

[K-Hod]

That lot won again tonight.

Think we all know how this season will end now, with them hosting Sheff U in ten days time 🤢.

[chaddyrovers]

Lets hope Sheffield United beat that lot on Easter Monday and to a top 2 spot

[K-Hod]

They probably won’t and it’ll solidify Burnley’s chances of top 2 and end those of Sheff U 🤢.

[chaddyrovers]

Lets hope both Leeds and Sheffield United win this dinner time

Both Leeds and Sheffield United winning at half time. 

I surprised how Plymouth haven't kick on after the FA Cup win against Liverpool

[StHelensRover]

Chris Wilder seems to have smacked the Self-Destruct button. Wheels coming off for Sheff Utd. In any other circumstances it would have been brilliant as he is such a smarmy, unlikeable rat of a manager.

However, you just know what is gonna happen again now down the road. Vile

Looking like 3 defeats on the bounce for Sheffield utd, blowing it at the death.

No way those twats don't make automatic now

[chaddyrovers]

The Sheffield United haven't be able to deal with Plymouth going for it which surprise me for Wilder's team. Plymouth's head coach was proactive with his subs and change the game

Its all gone downhill for them since Wilder made some hostile comments in the media about Sheffield Wednesday after United beat them in the derby.

I'd be pleased to see Sheffield United self destruct if it wasn't for the fact that its let Burnley in. Automatics for sure now.

Yes he had a go at the Sheff Utd fans in the media as well after the loss to Oxford last week. Whether you agree or disagree with their fans booing, the manager is always best staying out of all that, he's made himself look an idiot now. I can't stand him 

So galling that this implosion is gonna gift that lot promotion, so another 3 years of parachute payments this time next year.

Me neither. He'll be sacked if they don't win playoffs but even if they do go up he'll be on borrowed time.

The gilf is hard to take.
