Wahlstedt is giving me the same ‘cult status’ vibes I get from Szmodics. I feel like he’ll be a good player, but also have a personality to match. Can’t put my finger on why I feel that way. I didn’t even get that from Kaminski, whom we were able to sign only because he booted his own defender in the bollocks.

You’ve upset me now: Rovers winning the league is closer to the moon landings than today.

I feel like this formation would really suit us AND get a tune out of Buckley. If JRC and Wharton marshall and dictate respectively, this would allow Buckley the freedom to play box-to-box and roam forward (as we’ve seen him do really well in the past).

I’ve always asked them how many trophies they have won without a benefactor. Answer - 6 That’s how many FA Cups we have. None of which were won with Jack Walker. We’ve also won two first division titles and a league cup without Jack Walker.

In all seriousness, as embarrassing as their fans are as a whole, I felt like I saw enough about them to stay up over the course of the season. Hope I’m wrong!

Thank you for sending me down a Morecambe and Wise rabbit hole 😂😂😂

Tbf, that IS a punishment, Sunderland is a proper hovel. Makes Burnley look like Sandringham.

Praised him already but Gilsenan gives me Rochina vibes BUT… he passes in the final third too!

Said exactly the same.

Tronstad and Markanday on for Wharton and Gilsenan. Gilsenan is one to watch.

4-3, nervy defending

Frankly we’re very lucky not to have conceded another two. Batty at fault for their second, Wharton Sr equally not covering that well. Barnes playing pretty well (not brilliant) but being left exposed by Brittain imo

Not defensively sound tbh.

2-2!

A bit of a follow up, my dad has asked me (rather than me asking him) to go to the match tonight. Why? It’s a good price and he enjoyed the atmosphere at the Girona game. After telling him it probably wouldn’t be the same, as it’s a night match? You’ll love this @Mhead2 @Miller11 @oldjamfan1 and other WATR board members: ’Doesn’t matter, there was some effort put in last time and the price is good. If we support it when they do, maybe they’ll get the message.’ Yes, we’re going.

They did though? 13 mins added ran to at least 15.

Exactly, shows what we’ve become accustomed to with the ball being out of play!

Nope Antonsson Brown Elliott wins that crown.

Met him twice glen, as part of the Trust. He’s a very hard-working man imo, and does deserve a certain amount of credit particularly for culling the wage bill a few years ago from well over 200% of our income as a fallout from Lambert and Coyle’s time here. I also give him credit for specifically reaching out to the Trust, but rather than fan engagement, it has struck me as asking for help followed by a lot bafflement at how the fans feel towards the owners. Ie: no REAL engagement. However, I also believe that he just happens to be the wrong CEO for us. If he was on Broughton’s rumoured £150k, I’d be more empathetic. For double that, I want more drive to push forward, especially in the marketing and commercial departments. I came up with the original RT marketing prospectus in about 4hrs, with no marketing knowledge but plenty of Rovers knowledge. Begs the question wtf has been going on down there. I understand he meets his targets in the simplest way possible, but don’t seem to get much creative thinking.

I think it is. Get the full 90 mins played.

The People’s Champion by name and by nature.

Markanday did well to seize on that

The academy may well be what saves us face this year.

Fuck me, that’s dreamland! Double the last Girona game?

Let’s not forget this is a side that beat Real Madrid in April, they’re no mugs. That 16 looks handy!
