  1. On Saturday we went from 1-0 up to 1-2 inside 10 minutes of the restart. Come on, don't tell me it is uncommon for Rovers to emerge from the dug out looking like they don't have a game plan beyond holding it steady and the opposition manager has very effectively shifted things around to exploit our weaknesses.
  2. Yet again v Doncaster, Mowbray comprehensively lost the HT team talk to the opposition boss. Between a third and a half of all Rovers team talks result in Rovers being out thought and out fought in the second half.
  3. Posting to jolly this along towards 400 pages which will trigger the next signing.
  4. The one indisputable fact from yesterday. The Doncaster Rovers half time team talk was a gazillion times better than Mowbray's.
  5. Aberystwyth Town FC The official attendance for today’s game is 2. Thank you for your continued support... #Aberasone #Seasiders 2:56 PM · Aug 29, 2020·Twitter for iPhone
  6. I have paid for an audio only service???>?
  7. No place for Gallagher and I think.that was a far worse signing than Brereton..
  8. I don't think people truly understand how small and how much poorer Blackburn is as a town economically compared with the home locations of most other Championship clubs. Rovers do really well even now in the ratio of crowds to population size but Rovers' crowds are not only smaller than the Championship average but prices paid are below average also. Where this gets really painful for Rovers is on the commercial side where lack of businesses able to put in the sort of money other clubs get is dramatic. FFP has not gone away despite covid. Cases brought against other clubs show the League are applying pre Covid rules still. Remember we were going to be breaking FFP when Dack was unable to be sold in January. Management and owners throughout the League simply don't know where they stand relative to FFP in the current circumstances. One morbid thought is that other clubs are therefore hit far harder proportionately by zero gate and match day commercial income than Rovers are. Paradoxically I therefore bet Waggott and Mowbray are in a better position in this transfer window than at least half the other Championship management teams.
  9. Given Bauer has got a mention, I always felt from what little I have seen, Saar is a better footballer than Bauer. Saar was a pain for our attack for 66 minutes when Charlton won at Ewood at the start of last season.
  10. I remember something similar to that in 2013 offering games across the English leagues. For some reason, National League South was especially dodgy in the UK. I would watch Leagues 1 and 2 next season following the introduction of the salary cap.
  11. I remember debates on here in 2011 when many were absolutely certain it was impossible to fix matches. For what it is worth, today and for many seasons now I think Rovers inconsistency and surprise results both good and bad are the product of ineptness combined with squads capable of more than they achieved come season's end and not the product of anything untoward. I have felt the total opposite in the past. I would add in defence of British journalists, the use of UK libel laws contributes enormously to their silence. I can think of six who probably have files at least as thick as Declan Hill. Declan has certain privileges as an academic which commercial journalists don't enjoy but he is also very smart in how and where he is specific. In that video, Hill talks about a pool of $1.6 trillion cash sloshing around. One year GDP of the entire UK economy? $2.8 trillion.
