But we have some quality that's why we're 5th now. Unique opportunity with new coach, players coming back and a few January additions.

this may have been covered: do they have to go back to India with a recommendation or is decision made at Ewood?

We have so called "management" sifting through 100's of applications in their 9 till 5, 5 day a week, early finish Friday (under) commited managerial posts. If they know who we want, get him.

Looking back to the win against pne and his enthusiastic reactions to players caught on video, he certainly didn't look like he was about to leave. Need to move on from this chapter but it's still a puzzle. Why did he appear so dedicated then gone. Few more months he could have been a wanted man.

If DL still in charge he will start Buckley after saying he didn't start him v Plymouth because of a 3 game week. Evan if he isn't in charge he should still be picking team.

Nobbers need to do us a favour next saturday when they go to Coventry. Top four teams are well above with Leeds & Sheff Utd looking premiership bound, Dingles & Sunderland looking playoff's 3rd & 4th. Our win against WBA was much needed and beating Plymouth means we are leading the pack. 13 cup finals left as we look over our shoulders but its looking like any 2 from 9 at the moment. A win away at Swansea is on my wishlist.

Thoughts are: - Problem when playing against dingles is no team can score against them. - nobbers managed a 0 0, you would have expected 0 2. - We've scored 4 in two games but we need to be better. Cantwell should have scored and on another day Gueye would have made it 3 at the end. Who would have expected Forshaw to start even never mind score! - We looked solid at the back but again Pears almost gifted. Therefore I'd say 0 0. We appear to be heading in right direction but waggott might derail with wrong HC appointment. Are we looking like soon we might hit the net more in a game is a rumour, especially when new loans are fit and players back when we can use the bench more productively. So the dream is we get to playoff final & beat dingles 3 0.

Sounds evil to us, business to them. Can't defend how a company thousands of miles away can wreak a football club.

Always like to see players show appreciation. Was that Dennis with the hud up?

Magnificent support from fans

Too much passing about no first time shooting. Not difficult

Plymouth slowing game down,

If venkys had backed JE we wouldn't have this thread. JE is a 45 year old looking after his own/family interest. He's found, via a numberous routes, a higher paid & more secure job with far better employers. This new job is for 3 years and he goes there confident he can do the business having just fired his previous team from the great escape of 2023-24 to top 6 contenders of 2024-25, including good results against top championship teams. Football coaching is something he's good at. Good luck to him personally but as for football hope we stuff Derby and rub it in with the "JE, JE whats the score" at Pride Park in a few weeks time. Football is a great game. The ONLY thing that matters to me at this moment is we need to beat Plymouth today. COYB!!!!

Taking longer than I thought. Top appointment today would have increased gate tomorrow. Ok I'm getting carried away. If it t turned out we got Richie Wellens it will be a quiet day. Steve Gerrard for me.

Shocking. For what purpose do we have a CEO? Any decent person would be raising alarms but Waggott is happy to carry on as long as he is paid.

Gerrard was a successful captain. If he could gel with Travis and vice versa that could work through the team.

Travis is key whoever they appoint.

Who with football insight will advise on appointment? Or is it down to a YES man who agrees to sign an agreement? 🤪

Yeah unfortunately.

I've know idea. Someone rang me saying it looks like Lee Carsley and sad to say thats stuck with me since 4pm today. Don't fancy Carsley as he's worked with top players and a fall to Championship will be a learning curve. If we are going to keep "hope" going and that is possible, we need someone who can work with current players. Characters like Cooper & Dyche, both of which I previously disliked at previous clubs, fit that for me.

Best game this season for Buckley. WBA are poor .

Venkys out flag clear at WBA Well done Rovers fans.

Thanks Tony.

Get in!!!!!!!

Their keeper should have had that. But so what!
