Rothwell. Makes little runs occasionally which breaks up the boredom of the game and appears to be exciting. Leads to nothing generally. First one on Saturday he ran into a dead end and had to drag their man down for a yellow. Was a good job or we were in trouble. Next one he lost it in his own half which was almost a goal for them. He's generally a liability and brings nothing of actual substance e.g. goals. I would also start Dolan and have Elliott on the bench. Just think the kid needs a rest and Dolan has plenty to prove against this lot.

why does the camera keep showing Mark Venus loitering in the doorway to the Gents ?

what about someone to put their foot on the ball and play passes to our own side instead of 3rd division stuff ?

We can't possibly be that bad in the second half. Rothwell anonymous again. Have some people paid a tenner for this?

we are playing like 11 strangers so far

Miami Sound Machine featuring Gloria ?

Prefer the original but still a good choice.

I do find it quite amusing reading online comments about Venkys from the remaining 8000 as though their opinions in some way reflect reality. Such endorsement is akin to 70 year followers of Cliff Richard discussing the merits of his latest offering compared to the last. I am not sure this is an accurate or unbiased opinion folks. Meanwhile the same 8000 try their best to ignore what happened to the 15000 or why. Politely applauding in an empty room, punctuated by silence amidst empty seats and ghosts of "not proper fans". Yet the 15000 are ones who can remain objective and choose to remain away realising nothing has changed. The dismantling of Jack Walker's legacy is inextricably linked to our current owners and their many previous employees. As are the hundreds of lost local businesses, destroyed livelihoods and the primary reason for the shell of what was (not long ago) our proud town. I wonder what Jack thinks of our crumbling stadium. Of why we can't afford to wash the fascias or open the club shop, yet continue to fully fund the daily upkeep of Neville mansion. Meanwhile the 8000 continue to debate the current shade of rosyness in their own Rovers garden and welcoming back the masters of our destruction with open arms. Arguably the 8000 has now become 2500 elitists clamouring for forgiveness of the family, not least Mr Murray. The silent majority of Rovers fans just don't care until they fuck off. #VenkysOut

excellent pass great finish

Great goal

Some good flashes mainly from Arma and Elliott. Lots of backward and sideways play particularly from Nyambe slowing play and going backwards. Hopefully a better second half.

fairly dire this

If Buckley doesn't shown anything today then he never will.

Did Rothwell forget to come on ?

I can't believe they both missed that. Ridiculous.

Our best player last season in both those positions was Stuart Downing.

Wont matter how shite we are. We won't need to debate "give him until Xmas" (again). Season will be cancelled before Xmas and Tony will be able to sort out the defence in pre season July 2021.

Lenihan is a poor man's Hanley. Hanley was thick and a total liability. Can't build a solid defence with players like this.

great cross and finish

Holtby is class. Totally running this game. BB work rate so impressive today.

Waggott.... I need that refund now.

Hopefully because he knows hes on the dole with Tony.

Wigan relegated. Barnsley stay up somehow. Forest out the play offs to Swansea on goals scored. In either position we would have put in a disgraceful performance under Mowbray. Like we did anyway. Like when we got relegated under him. Absolute bag of toss manager.

Hope it was 70... useless

Hull Wigan Charlton down as we stand
