v Sheffield Wednesday (h) - 8/4/2025

[Silas]

Quite like the passion there from Dolan tbf.

At least he showed some animation. 

[Tricky]

Good for the fans that attended, least they deserve.

He said what!? After the Boro game?? Cheeky cunt!

It was the interview before the game on Sky. 
Said that ‘performances are getting better’ or to that tune anyway.

Said there is a plan at the club which is focused on the academy - all the usual fluff. 

[Polky]

RoversTV claiming there’s 15,000 on tonight, with 4,000 Wednesday fans.

So you’re telling me there’s 11,000 Rovers fans tonight? 

[Mike E]

Ismael booked. Rovers fans in JWL started chanting off off off 🤣

[Displaced Rover]

I’m actually mildly annoyed we’ve scored…Tragic to get to that point

[superniko]

Mowbray doing Mowbray things at West Brom. Still looks a genius next to this guy 

[Silas]

Get Gueye on soon while the momentum is still there.

If this was the plan all along I've no idea why they didn't renew his contract. He was happy to muddle along with whatever shite players he was given.

Before isn't as bad, but still. And he's still a cheeky cunt - the fans asked him to stay away and he gives a pre match interview, which he never does, to ram home that he's going anyway.

I know the board room staff are the root cause of a lot of the issues not limited to this manager.  But there is a real real culture of 'that'll do, easy street' amongst the players.  Clearly culture trickles down, but it's frustrating as a fan.  I distinctly remember Hyam and Brittain not liking being challenged on poor performances 

We should have backed JDT when he was addressing that…

If you're an optimist you'll think an excellent, historic brand like Rovers would attract a caring, benevolent owner who'd pump millions in every year.

However, given the Venkys record and the experience of other, similar sized clubs (Coventry, Reading, Charlton, Hull) we'd be out of the frying pan and into the fire with a new bunch of charlatans.

The reality is BRFC in its current state is likely only to be desirable to asset strippers.

Where are these assets of which you speak?

Looks very sparse 

[Mike E]

Players are all arguing about who has the shittest owners.

[Ianrally]

Nob End 1 point behind us now! You couldn’t make it up ffs.

They always count all the season ticket holders. Quite a few of whom probably aren't attending.

[Trinidad Rover]

Been much better this half. Buys the clown time even if we lose I think.

[dallydally]

Ohashi and Guaye both League One at best. Even Dolan starts to look like Messi he's in such a bad side

[OsloRover]

If Luton go down can we have Kaminski back please

[bluebruce]

Is this ref on crack? Guy shoved Travis heavily right in front of him, outcome is Sheff free kick and a booking for Travis? Yes Travis mildly put his hand on him first but the ref didn't blow until Trav was shoved.

God the refs in this league are nearly as bad as we are.

[OsloRover]

Ohashi 2-2!!

[DutchRover]

Awful performance, even if it has improved in second half. Useless manager and coaching staff, players not interested, they've seen JDT and Eustace get screwed over and seem just as apathetic as the fans.

Nice to equalise, but worry it just buys Ismael time which none of us want.

Yuki! 

Great work from Gueye and Cantwell 

[neophox]

2-2 Ohashi!!

[jim mk2]

Rovers are drawing at home. How rubbish must Sheffield Wednesday be?
