Thanks all. Looks like the online facility has been fixed this morning. Hopefully see lots of us at Home Park, on Saturday! Last time I was there it was for our League One game and some local idiot turned up in full Burnley kit, baiting the visiting fans as they arrived at the ground. Some people are mental.

Thank you for the reply (and from DeeCee). I'm feeling pretty stupid here, but however I get to the Argyle v Rovers ticket section on the website, it doesn't seem to give me any ticket availability. Not something I've come up against before. As a one-off, would you be able to send me the link you used, please?

No tickets seem to be available through the Rovers website. Is our allocation sold out, or should I be getting from elsewhere? Thanks.

Home against Hull is a fairly decent game to get your next start as a young player. And a better option than Dolan. Full-backs getting over-run (yet again) means it barely matters anyway.

No. Left back quite obviously needed. Plus wide players to supply a cf who might actually score some goals. I only think kaminski, hyam, jrc, a.wharton, smodicz of our current squad should be first teamers.

We need more than that

Burke must be having the most fun he's ever had out there. He is playing against one of the worst left backs I've seen.

JDT out. For the tactical and attitudal ineptitude that this half of football has has shown as an exemplar of out season. Awful team, awful manager.

Pickering, Travis and Pears all carrying out some kind of suicide pact. Joke players

One piece of absolute quality there. What a player. If only he had been available for selection all through the season... oh wait.

This is an appalling "performance". The gulf in quality between Rovers and Millwall (yes, fucking Millwall) is enormous.

This last 10 mins sums up why watching Rovers this season has been so infuriating. Stop fucking around with it at the back! Until the manager changes we are stuck with that shit

Totally agree. And with Jim's post below it. There is a tendency to talk down the achievement of "smaller" clubs but, ultimately, they are usually very well run, make shrewd decisions on players, have a robust tactical approach, and play to their strengths. This Rovers team and club (and during the last 10-15 years) do little, if any, of this.

I actually feel a bit sorry for him. Watching the way he has been playing for months, now, he has been absolutely dreadful and I am sure he knows it. His confidence is shot, his motivation is undeniably, and to an extent understandably, different from what it was, his contribution to the team has dwindled in recent weeks to virtually being just a hinderance. He has been a passenger and a total waste of a place in the team. Yet he has been picked over and over again despite all of this when I am convinced that virtually any of the squad would have contributed more over a vital period. And this is absolutely not about hindsight as each terrible performance from BBD has led to another starting 11 selection and a sense of dread for me when the lineup is announced before each next game. How and why has this been left to fester and deteriorate without any intervention? If it is simply all about Ben's attitude (which I don't think it is, entirely) then drop him - as in weeks ago. His future isn't here, so why not try something different? But his continued selection in the team is a serious indictment of the selection and tactical decision-making of our manager, not Ben himself. Months ago, the club could have avoided him leaving for free and more recently they could, and should, have avoided him leaving at the end of the season having cut a bit of a pathetic character game after game. Unless someone was telling JDT that he must keep picking BBD, then that is surely and squarely on the manager? It's both sad and suggests a level of managerial incompetence.

Gutting. Mostly because it shows again that the biggest problem at the moment is our overplaying. From the defence right up to in attack. We have to be faster and take on more shots. I'm worried that just isn't how JDT is ever going to have us play.

Is BBD still on the pitch? If so, why?

I do think this team is full of genuine effort and they press hard, making things uncomfortable for opponents. But once things are against us we have no apparent drive or self-belief. I really want to switch off so I dont have to see this, or that lot winning the league at Ewood. I wish I could.

And close down the attacker afterwards.

It is sickening to watch this Rovers team. Endeavour but no quality up front and individual errors every single game costing goals. Carter and Pickering terrible. But we simply do not have the attacking players that most other teams in this league do. And failure to address that in transfer windows is what has totally fucked us.

I've been reading really positive things about Batty for a few years now, but I don't think he has made a first team appearance - why is that? Injuries? Seems like plenty of opportunities to have had him on the bench, at least with no lb cover.

I see that you went for the safe "m" in the middle of that word rather than the "unt" I was thinking

What the fuck are they doing? Seriously. Its ridiculous. Was it sleeping pills all round at half time?

Almost as though something could have been done about it during some kind of transfer window...

I think it is a recurring theme that too many of our players are showing an appalling first touch. Particular offenders tonight, Pickering, Travis, Gallagher, Szmodic, Hyam

Bad results for us today, in general, have only added to the nerves! I rarely go along with a 'must win game' view, but it absolutely applies this evening. I need beer...
