Siggy injured again according to Eustace.

We are never going to see him again are we - real shame his heart wasn’t in it/it hasn’t worked as he is a good player, looked superb at the start of last season. 

If Siggy is deadwood, we need to get rid, we are not in a position to carry anyone. Every player needs to be giving 100%, even if that 100% is not up to what we are used to skill-wise.

Rumours that he's downed tools, which makes sense with this "on going" injury. He will be sold in January and money made will be our transfer budget...A guess 800k + add ons??

I doubt we will get anything close to that - only got 6 months on his contract.

They will likely get rid just to get his (apparently high) wages off the books.

[MarkBRFC]

I imagine we'll be stuck with him for the season and he will sign a pre contract somewhere in Jan.

[tomphil]

Seems the type to sit out his contract although his international career is important so downing tools and sitting out might not help that.

Personally i'd be offing him to the first club who'd take him on outside of England.

[AllRoverAsia]

Sigurdsson. Wimp.

[Cherry Blue]

Obviously a poor signing.

Played 18 times scoring 5 goals last season sounds good but we all know his true input. A player on his pay should be an asset to the team, he clearly isn't and we'll struggle getting rid of him.

iv`e lost patience with him.taking up a big chunk of our wage budget for little return,get shut imo

[joey_big_nose]

Doesn't do anything like enough off the ball for me.. total passenger. 

Cantwell despite being technically better than Sigurdsson also works nuts off out of possession .Arnor could learn a thing or two.

Glad to be back at it Saturday, these 2 week breaks really take the wind out of you, each restart can mean different things for teams, can we go on a winning streak and further shock our relagation favourites prediction? 

 

This team is so hard to predict, I really have no idea how it will go in the run up to Christmas and new year.

Yeah these international breaks kill the game imo. A lot disagree and see them more important than league games. Football is a funny old game.

We've started better than we'd hope for but we won't by doing an "Ipswitch one season stay in the premiership". that said its that hope that we can get close to the playoff on a small budget with a top manager.

We've not been in the playoffs ONCE since being relegated in 2012.

 

Crazy when you think about it.

Many say rovers fans are deluded and living in the past and nobody has a devine right to be in the premiership, however I'm sure many can agree, we belong in the premiership, anyone who has won that trophy belongs in the Premier league.

 

Eventually we are going to make it back, it's going to happen.

Surely nobody seriously does... apart from Harry Kane (and roverandout).

The majority of people including players, fans, managers think they are a pile of wank.

We will only make it back when we try.

January 2022, January 2023 and January 2024 we had strong opportunities to get into the top 6 and they did whatever they could to ensure we weren't equipped to sustain it.
