I thought I read that Dolan won it.

He already has, by virtue of not stealing a massive wage.

They were 1 nil up at half time...and then got battered 5-1.

Your post said we hadn't spent money on a striker for 6 years. We have, last summer. Maybe you meant to say 'proper money'?

This sort of thing gets said every single summer. There are always 3 relegated teams expected to be strong in this league. Frequently at least one of them is shit. Looking at the Prem table, they've all struggled more than is usually the case. We're ignoring that 2 or 3 strong teams will be going up, too. I'm amazed we have had a sniff of the top 6 in so many of the recent seasons with the owners and board we've had. I do tend to think it can't last forever without proper investment though.

They absolutely don't invest properly, but we paid money for two strikers this summer. Just mentioning in the interest of keeping things accurate.

Yep. My mum just said the lads have done us proud. I replied that they did, but the owners have done us dirty. Again. Venkys out.

God I hate how predictable being a Rovers fan is.

That was our last chance to attack and Dennis spent it trying to dribble past 3 players in the middle of the park. Moron.

Which is the weakest part of Pears' game, too.

Awful first touch from Dennis there

Toth must be our MOTM. Unless someone wants to pull off a miracle right now.

Think he's overly keen because of the occasion, and not using his head enough.

Coventry 2 up now. All down to this and the Bristol game. I know how it will go though...

FFS...yeh Forshaw and Woodrow, that'll get the job done 🤦‍♂️

When you see the angle from behind the goal, it's clear how much Toth put Cannon off for that shot

Nonsense

Snap

Of course it's the guy that was supposed to sign for us until Sheff United bought him with money they didn't have, getting them promoted, who scores their equaliser. Should have seen that coming.

He's been falling over a lot tbf. Not wise, because the ref is bound to start assuming he's on the con or too soft, which tbf he probably is on both counts.

Can we just end the season now? No need for another 40 minutes...

If you'd have told me a month or so ago I was going to be this excited about scoring on the last day of the season, I'd have had you sectioned! Get in Yuki!!

Sheffield not as laid back about this game as I was hoping.

Ordinarily I'd say Kargbo is a bit too fresh back from injury to start him in a game of this magnitude when we have been in great form lately. But it's Hedges he'd be replacing so I wouldn't be mad about it. I can see how either could be useful here...Hedges as more of a defensive winger when we expect to be in our own half more often than not, against a good side away. But Kargbo for the pace on the counter attack that turns games like this, plus we need to win not just avoid losing as might have been the approach for a game like this a month ago. Still I think I'd start Hedges, and if it's not working out around the 50-60 minute mark, bring Kargbo on against more tired legs so he can cause problems.

If there's anything more sure than that we were going to start winning games again once there didn't look like there'd be anything left to play for, it's that we won't land in 6th place and be left kicking ourselves about every botched result against shit teams. Either we win and results don't go our way, or results go our way and we don't win. Not trying to be negative, just seen this script too many times.
