[Bohinen1983]

Is it not time to invest in new state-of-the-art mode of transportation?

Or at the very least, lease one and tell everyone you’ve bought it !

Maybe wrong thread but still related. What do we need to reach playoffs?

Forget top 4 as these will now makeup 2 promoted & 2 playoff places. To reach playoffs we need to win this mini league shown below or at least come runners up.

 ~ 17 games remain to get another 34 points?? That would put us on 76 points which could be whats needed. Thats an average of just 2 points per game. Leeds are currently top with an average of just over 2 points per game. 

 ~ facts against us include current form, injuries, owners lack of interest (understatement), management it would appear not wanting to progress.

 ~ facts in our favour include possible new signings, injured players coming back, we won 6 games on the run not long ago.

Average points needed is 74. We’re not far off needing automatic promotion form to grab 6th. A shit January has cost us again.

Anyone know this guy on YouTube? Shits on all the rovers videos pretty much and says 'we' alot

Can't help but feel these links to a couple of decent strikers are nothing but PR stunts. They can then trot out the usual "we tried for some very good strikers" line after the window. We then sign a free transfer striker from the Finnish third division in the summer.

It's why I'm only interested in permanent transfers.

No point throwing money away chasing a very, very unlikely Playoff place. Bring in assets.

We haven't had a single kicking in January.

Plymouth signing a Ukrainian international for around 1.7m..  Never thought I'd see the day Plymouth appear to a have greater spending power than Blackburn Rovers..

€4m bid rejected for striker Willem Geubbels at St Gallen.

Our bid was rejected alongside €6m from Union Berlin and €8m from Luton.

Moving on…

The fact we bid way below his value (as per the other offers) leads me to believe they did this to just look like they’re doing something.

Pasha/Waggott would have absolutely papped their pants if it got accepted and would have no doubt found a means of scuppering the deal, whilst making it look like they did all they could to placate the few fans who don’t see through their BS.

I don’t think 74 will be the 6th place points total 

boro losing main striker and form has been poor 

our form poor 

wba form poor

cant see any of the pack getting 30 points plus  from 17 games all too inconsistent

Name is STFU. Game is WUM. Relevance to bona fide Rovers fans, Nil.

You hear it every year, but someone usually does come through the pack. Our starting 11 is as good as those teams’. Our squad is not, as we’ve seen in the last 6 games. And they’ve all got stronger.

How many years of this have you encountered before? By now, you should be well aware of how this normally plays out. Either we tried, a fax machine doesn't work, or somebody didn't check papers correctly. Anything else I missed?

I’m not saying it will be us I don’t think it will be us

but there’s 2 spots available and I believe all the teams at present are too inconsistent 

I think 6th will be around then 67-70mark 

of course when the window closes teams have signings etc nothing to say one of those teams form shoots through the roof but nothing at present to suggest that

Surely any player with a thread of dignity or if their agent had any sense they would be avoiding us at all costs. Seeing from the outside how the club is ran and the previous blunders over the last few years. The only players we ever manage to get are the ones nobody else shows any real interest in. Sad

We won’t be signing the Egyptian lad this is purely a rouse just to appease unrest amongst us 

 

don’t be fooled

All the teams there are in the same boat as us “2 points per game” hopefully a couple of signings will boost the team and we kick on again, pissed we have sorted transfers 2-3 weeks ago but we are up there on merit hopefully starting tomorrow we can get a decent run going.

Happens every year.

They see the discontent and start throwing a few scraps to the likes of Nixon.

They honestly think we're stupid.

He looks better than Telalovic. Stronger than Dolan and a big upgrade on Hedges, obviously with the caveat that he can do it in the championship. Still doesn't score enough to rest our hopes on.

 

Mind boggles as to what a scout as seen ??? i cant see no championship player in them clips
