It’s not going to happen. Some folk are clutching straws by saying we’re still promotion contention but they said the same in each of the last few seasons and look where we ended up. As it stands, without 3 or 4 good signings coming in, the league season is effectively over

They were great days Den but I’d be happy to return to how the club was being run under Williams and Allardyce. We didn’t know how lucky we were and how fragile it all was. I look at the likes of Brentford (really?) and Bournemouth (!!!) in the Premier League and Burnley 🤢 and how well they are managed and our predicament is so frustrating

Seriously, this is dire isn't it? The clock ticking and even the rumour mill isn't churning out any names. Another shot at promotion spurned, another year goes by. As a 60-year long-time supporter the feeling is no longer one of anger but one of sadness and resignation. We were thinking of going to the forthcoming QPR away game but probably won't now. It's all well, so depressing and pointless.

Looks like a little boy lost in a man’s game. Like Duberry. He won’t be going anywhere though. Beggars can’t be choosers

I missed tonight's game but I've seen enough this season to know the squad - even when fully fit - isn't strong enough or good enough to finish a gruelling 46-game season in the top 6. It doesn't matter that we played well in parts tonight - we lost, again, and it was entirely predictable beforehand that we would. Many folks on here saw it coming, especially after the no-show at Oxford, which I was unfortunate to witness.

This isn't a top 6 side. It really isn't. It's in false position, and will sink slowly down the table

Inevitable, can’t score then concede. Bogey team this lot

Possibly, I expect the physicality and intensity of the English game has come as a huge shock to him. I wouldn’t raise your hopes though, at his age he’ll find it hard to adapt and I’m not sure he has the attributes to be a success.

Is that Ohashi's Irish brother? 😁 I don't think it matters really. He's not much use

Brereton to Sheff Utd confirmed.

Rowett's made them into a very solid outfit. We seem to struggle against his teams and we were second best most of the 90. I'd take their No 8 and the left winger all day long.

Depressing post This chap tends to have his ear close to the ground.

Yep, we were unfortunate to be at the Ricoh and it was a horrible watch. They've been a hoodoo team for Rovers over the years and I wouldn't be surprised if it were the same scoreline

The team were way off the pace and tired and second to nearly every ball at Oxford. It was a game we shouldn't have lost - but we did because we do not score enough goals and most of the time look totally impotent. The formation matters little and overall the squad just isn't good enough I'd be delighted but surprised if we get a draw out of this Rovers 0 Coventry 1

Sorry yesterday was such a miserable experience. Rovers were shockingly poor.
