Unfortunately it's completely out of our hands so I'm not overly excited. We've shown a lot of courage and determination at times this season. And badly collapsed at others. It's anyone's guess.

I can't remember ever scoring four goals from defence / defensive midfield before! Can anyone else? I don't remember Rathbone and Branagan bagging many! Well done to all involved. Frustrating that's its come so late when the pressure is off, but losing every week wasn't healthy. Along with Batth, Brittain and Travis, Tronstad must be a contender for player of the season. He was superb before his injury and I am pleased for him today. To feel non-plussed about the Rovers is a weird emotion after a lifetimes investment.

It's done and dusted. Shame really, but other than the odd game we have been very poor from mid-December onwards. Too many players overworked, too many injuries, too many individual errors, culminating in too many below par performances and too many dropped points. Easily our best chance for success as the league has been so poor this season. Our biggest problem being the lack of goals we have scored. I can't see it, but i wouldn't mind both Millwall and Bristol City getting in the play offs at the expense of Boro, Coventry, West Brom etc.

Well done. Never easy winning away. Great to get a clean sheet.

There are no words.

I'm seriously thinking about not renewing. My mate and my son also. I enjoyed our organisation and fight under Eustace, but it was turgid stuff at times. Forget Duff and Tugay, it wasn't a patch on watching Scotty Sellars, Garner and Gayle.

The three stooges didn't stop him getting us in the top six all season. They just couldn't give him an extra 10k a week. He's currently doing well at Derby, but that can change. He's gone, you've just got to deal with it. The three stooges did however recruit this total plank and what is astounding is that no one seems to give a toss about how our season has totally disintegrated. Apart from us lot.

I've not seen those comments regarding Lowe. But internal politics, empire building, self protection and straight forward bitchiness are rife in football. More than any other industry I have worked in.

I explained Eustace left for money. Rumoured to be 12k a week more. That was it. I'm not sure why that is confusing you. If he keeps Derby up and a Premier League team comes in for him he will be off like a shot. But that is completely irrelevant to us recruiting Ismael. We still had a brilliant opportunity to attack the rest of the season.

We were in the play offs and had just recruited a striker, two wingers, a midfielder, left back and centre half. For this guy to take what we had, plus the new signings, gain 1 point from 18 (and that was due to a 96th minute goal), take us from 5th to 12th, rarely look like scoring, always look like conceeding, never look like winning, is desperately bad. An appalling appointment. More so, as all of us knew exactly what was needed. A short term motivator, who would instill renewed belief in our jilted, snowflake players. Lowe was in the top ten short term options after Eustace left. Maybe even top five. Get shut and let him see the season out.

I'm hugely disappointed in the players. Even if they dislike this manager conceeding within 5 minutes most weeks is totally unacceptable.

I'm lost for words. Players, management, executives and owners stinking the place out. We are plumbing new depths.

How can current results be acceptable? How can he be given a free pass until the summer? How can we allow him to recruit his own players if he continues to lose every week? How many games does he need to lose before we accept it is not working? We were in 5th position when he took over. We are now 11th. No one has seen anything to think he can put this right. There is no chance the players will start believing in him, or his methods. No chance at all. We are one heavy defeat away from the entire fanbase giving up on him. Most have already.

First we blamed Travis missing. And Hedges and Dolan and Pears plus Gueye upfront. Then Tronstad Missing. And Hedges and Dolan and Pears. Then the recruitment team in the January window. But Gueye improved. And Hedges and Dolan and Pears. Then Ohashi missing. And Hedges and Dolan and Pears. And Eustace leaving. Then Adam Forshaw. And Beck and Batth missing. And Hedges and Dolan and Pears. Forshaw still with a little bit of Sanderson. Brittain losing form. Then Hyam collapsing. Then Carter miles off. And Dolan and Pears. Then why don't you fuck off home Valerie. And now Travis and Tronstad, Hyam and Carter, little bit of Hedges, lots of Pears, Woodrow new to proceedings, Dolan whatever he does and the donkey turned racehorse is now a pony who can't get a start. And it all began just before Xmas. Whilst in the top six. With the chance to re-inforce in January. We were two judicious player signings away from enjoying the end of the season. We were one, stop gap, managerial signing away from being competitive all year. And despite everything, we are still only five points off the play offs. We spent some money in January but on what? Forshaw was on 12k a week at Plymouth, rumours of 20k a week for the lame duck from Forest. How much are Woodrow and Sanderson costing? In fact, thinking it through, maybe only Ribeiro can hold his head up high. This is up there with the most chronic mis-management of all our assets in all my time watching the Rovers. Typically when there was a little light at the end of our very dark tunnel. 3.5 years of Ismael? Holy fuck. We were always one bad appointment away from disaster. No wonder the Venkys have spunked millions on the club. They are absolutely thick as pig shit. I'm not renewing next season. Its not just the ticket, its the travel, parking, refreshments, loss of earnings, loss of time and mental energy all adding up to significant personal investment. I was so much happier with 6k or 7k attending playing Shrewsbury in the late 70's and early 80's. This Venkys induced mind fuck isnt healthy for me.

Allardyce and Dyche were always unlikely. Warnock was a decent option. A mate at the match has just said it was a completely spineless performance with zero structure, he won't be travelling away again and cannot wait to get home.
