Pears, ACD, and Sanderson I never want to see again in a Rovers shirt. 

 

I'm done with this club. 

 

The owners, the hierarchy, the manager... All a bunch of absolute shite. 

 

Was thinking about the away shirt for 50% off but they're not getting another fucking penny off me. 

 

I'm not sticking around to witness them free fall down the table and probably through the league next season. 

 

Up yours Venkys. I wish you the absolute worst you fucking cunts. 

 

Good luck everyone. 

See you next week

[TugaysMarlboro]

We didn't see any mid season bounce when Eustace took over JDT and the sames happening now. Attacking wise there's not a lot of cohesion, defensively we've gone backwards.

Amazing but were still joint 6 on 52p........strange.

Get out, it's those 11 lads on the pitch! Granted the manager has a significant influence I'm not having that.. It's not Eustace putting his balls on the line..  There's time yet, lets see how things pan out.. Other than those two early goals Derby were dreadful. 

Exactly, Derby were dreadful and beat us. 

[Dolly blue]

It’s days like today which confirm, like it or not, what Eustace did for this club. 
Under him we were organised, played decent stuff and they played for the shirt.

He had us punching way above our weight, I wish him well . He knew this club is rotten .

Probably more that Eustace was good at making the most of very little. Some of our players have been poor under multiple managers.

If you can’t push yourself when there’s a chance of actually winning something, it’s poor. No matter who the manager is.

What? Like JRC was shite and had a revival under JDT to become one of the best inverted full backs in the division? .. JDT got a tune out of these boys before he decided he'd had enough- Eustace took over a midtable club and survived by the skin of his teeth..  I will absolutely over the moon to see him get sacked in league one. No way that lot stop up. Dreadful side.

Appalling performance, Venkys out

[Penwortham Blue]

Three words’ Absolutely fucking spineless’

If you can’t see the difference between that performance today and a Eustace led performance, then that’s up to you. No game plan, no organisation. Fuck me, it’s like night and day. And yes, you’re spot on, Derby were dreadful. That’s the point.

We already know most of them can't be trusted. There are many players in this squad who have repeatedly been involved in our embarrassing collapses. The only reason most of them are still here is because the club has no budget or ambition. 

But this is what happens when the club is run the way its run. The players with talent and ambition move on fast. The players with talent but no ambition stay. You also get a lot of very average players starting week in and week out, safe in the knowledge they won't be replaced.

Still think Derby will get relegated and Eustace sacked.

On same points as the 6th placed team....

JE knew where to hit us, packed the midfield, disrupting the middle of the park and getting lot of bodies in the box. Credit to VI for the change of shape and tactics. Was an uphill battle going 2 nil down so early in the game.

Ismael has had a two games...  Eustace was 'Useless'  he hardly set the world on fire..   The same lads Eustace turned into world beaters narrowly missed out on the playoffs the season prior to his arrival... 

[neophox]

Think the lot of us said JE was Euseless in the first 5-6 games...

In 97 minutes we barely laid a glove on them, despite them being absolutely terrified at 2-1 and just hoofing it anywhere. They didn't need to be. If we start like that against Stoke on Wednesday it will be very similar. Eustace be laughing his head tonight.

[Penwortham Blue]

For all those talking about Travis rallying the troops, third game he hasn’t turned up. He is a key component of the complete failure of this club when the pressure is on .

It is strange, seeing as we're actually 8th and now 3 points off 6th. Looks like we're going to allow Mowbray to take another team to the playoffs as our expense.

It was obvious a couple of months ago we absolutely were good enough, but we needed quality additions to bolster the squad - a squad that was run down after the festive period (i.e. today is the first time Travis and Tronstad have played together in 14 games).

Instead we penny pinched again, threw away January as a result and lost our manager. 

The “quality additions” were never going to come. I’ve witnessed some horrible defeats. It was obvious the team as it stood was never good enough, even under Eustace.

Wake up and get real
