I haven't watched the game today but i've checked the stats and can see we've reached 88 minutes without a shot on target again.

I can't stomach the idea of Alexander. When he takes us down, the parties at the Dingledome and Deepdale where he is revered will be like the Ewoks at the end of Star Wars, we'll never hear the end of it.

Will listen with interest this afternoon, please don't ever put a title like that on the thread again though I nearly had a heart attack when I saw Karanka

The GIFs and memes we'd have with him would be another level

I have a sneaky feeling this is going to end up going into next season if not resolved very soon, because of the appeals process. I think they may get a decision this season with the deduction applying from August, because the EFL won't want the chaos which would emerge from the scenario you painted, where clubs wouldn't know who had been relegated on the final day.

18 points needed from 16 matches to get to the magic 50 points which will probably be enough this year. 5 wins and a few draws or 6 wins. West Brom and Pompey at home and Oxford away are cup finals now, if we can win those games, that should do it. Edit - i'm aware our record against the teams around us is stinking and that we haven't beaten any of those three yet

People like him are why I came off Twitter, he's the worst Rovers fan on there by some distance. I think he might be a Dingle on the mother of all wind-ups or related to the Raos

It's a shame how low the bar is for a good or 'improved' performance. Wednesday are by far the worst team in decades, maybe ever, to play at this level. If you plucked a random team from League 2 and stuck them in the Championship they would probably have won more than 1 match out of 30. We have scraped past them with a great save from Toth and what looked like a goal line clearance. We are still in massive trouble.

Absolutely dreadful game of football, non-league stuff at times. If we carry on playing like this we'll go down. Hopefully a few days before Norwich allows us to come up with a better plan than that tonight.

Managerial Hall of Shame: Berg: 10 games 10% win ratio Iley: 16 games 12.5% win ratio Pickering: 61 games 24.5% win ratio Ismael: 43 games, 25.6% win ratio 4th worst ever manager in 150 years, bravo and goodnight. (You-know-who will always be the worst and only one truly hated, but for many reasons beyond on-pitch results)

Really annoyed me the snobbery about Allardyce when he was here, fell out with my dad about it at the time. He was one of the ones complaining about style of football. I've never given a single toss about "style of football". I've filled it alongside nonsense like 'The West Ham Way'. I don't care if we play ugly and win 1-0 every week. Better than being open and losing 3-2 and 4-3 and winning nowt. For me, all sport is about winning and it doesn't matter how you do it as long as it's within the rules and fair. When your name goes on a trophy it doesn't have an extra spot that mentions the manner in which you won. You're the best. End of.

Big Sam would probably say "give me a million quid to keep you up, that's 3 months work for me, but you'll be £10 million worse off if you go down, take it or leave it" I reckon he would take it, but I'm not sure he's the answer and I doubt we'd approach him. Imagine the scenes if did 😄

Sounds just like us in the last 18 months! Out of our 27 players, if you take out Toth, Alebiosu and Gudjohnsen, it's a pretty similar description.

I wonder with names like Coleman,whether their agencies just put their names out there so that when they get a league 2 job or a job overseas they're thought of as "someone who was in the mix for a Championship job" and that it's a coup for the club who brings them in.
