Cocking up Cantwell (or not) likely Waggott's valedictory act.

Isn't Germain a free agent at Christmas after the end of the J League? He said starting the January window thread.

If we do get the speedy left winger in on sent button day, the irony will be he will be the only player in the squad who doesn't have a covering replacement. I am going on the assumption that Toth posing with a Rovers fan and his nephew in a Facebook photo probably means his agent supplied a back up fax machine.

Rumbled! You are Mrs D and I claim my prize!

Came on to see what is happening and all I can see is a heap of dead bodies of our existing squad assassinated on this thread. Very concerned it is already too late for Swag to learn where the send button is.

Nixon catching up.😜🤣

Cantwell is a big rescue job but a major signing if Eustace can do the restoration.

So lots of rumours. I really cannot see us managing to find the send button before deadline hour now...

Thankfully it was this derby and not Saturday.. There is a pattern of us letting a goal in immediately after we make substitutions. Not only did we leak but this time the choice of replacements by Eustace was all wrong. Duru was the one bright spark but even he was affected by the lurgy. JRC was a total liability. What has happened to him? Buckley has ability but no football brain. Vale less ability and no football brain. Sigurdsson couldn't find space against an injury hit league 1 defence so Pickering hardly ever passed to him Ohashi should have been introduced when the equaliser went in. Gueye sent the keeper away before rolling it in so actually it was a very good penalty.

So we have a new Left Beck I'll get my coat...

Really pleased with the selection. Hoping we don't mess it up so Tyjon gets a good run second half.

so nothing

So still nothing.

Why are we talking about Buckley, our captain tomorrow evening?

Surely they are using the same system as happened under GB/JDT? Coach and recruitment team discuss and agree priorities. Recruitment team present who could be available to the coach Targets agreed. Recruitment go fetch if they can.

Swag has set himself up. "No impediment" on the money side he says. So inadequate signings this week condemn him as an utter incompetent.

Recent developments at Turf Moor means this has moved from a battling but expected defeat to anything is possible. The backlash against Swag and Venkys if we lose this heroically because they didn't strengthen this week will be extremely nasty.

So nothing. If we want PL football next season, I would go for broke and splurge the budget on 4 PL quality loans. Not a popular opinion and not sustainable in the Championship but it would give us an entertaining season and a gambler's chance at 170m

With the greatest respect to the denizens of Dingwall....

This week's big derby fixture sees the Tangerines visit Ewood for the most eagerly awaited game since the last time we played them. Overwhelmed by the excitement of it all, Swag has removed 10,000 seats from sale. The injury crippled Stockport County who we smashed 6-1 at Edgely Park in the previous round promptly went to Bloomfield Road and won 3-0. Yesterday, Blackpool allowed a 4-2 advantage become a 4-4 draw at Cambridge. Safe to say, our visitors might have a defensive problem or 2 or 3 or 4... However, it will be a chance to give Jordan Rhodes a warm welcome back provided he doesn't score against us. As for our team, Tyjon, Gilsenan and Leonard are all out injured and the u-21s are leaking goals even more prolifically than the seniors are scoring them so I'd go with something close to the Stockport line-up- perhaps get some minutes into Fadz and give Duru a start in front of the adoring empty seats of the Riverside? Bucko to skipper again.

Dingles ownership did a Glazers. They loaded the debt to buy the club onto the club. I'd like to say I had no idea what the Rovers line up would be confident there will be 5 high quality signings before Thursday.....

Will just add three observations. Neil Yardley said there was a minute added onto the first half. JRC scored at 1 minute 50 seconds of added time- we got fortunate the ref was waiting for a break in play to blow... The reason I was confident we would win was from watching Oxford defenders when Coventry played through them last week. The two defenders near Sigurdsson were in terrible positions... The only way Pears stops the Harris wonder strike is if he is on his line by his left hand post which is the last place you want him when the ball is coming from a hurried punt from the Oxford keeper.

All Oxford so far

Scottish Sun- there's a contradiction in terms...
