Absolute garbage. Mowbray can book his own taxi.

Sean Dyche just been potted by the Dingles. Take him over Mowbray all day long.

Just want him gone now. Head is bruised and bloody from banging it against a brick wall. Don't care if we miss out on the playoffs if it hastens his departure. In fact I'd take it if I knew it'd mean he'd definitely be gone.

Sack him tonight and bring in Daniel Farke with a huge bonus if he gets us up.

Sheff United, Boro, Huddersfield and Forest sounds like a pretty likely playoff 4 to me, unfortunately.

4 points in it from 4th down to 10th, many with a game or two in hand.

Absolutely nothing up front. So demoralising.

The point is they told everyone the game was definitely on an hour ago. Plenty will have travelled on that basis. If there was always an element of doubt remaining they should have said. Terrible comms from Rovers.

Second was always a pipe dream. Target is top 6. If we make it, great. Let's see how the chips fall. If not, it should mean the end of the Mowbray era and we can try and kick on with some fresh ideas next season.

Bruce's first home game this. Crap timing.

I fear we can no longer rely on Rothwell for the same reasons Hedges said his performances for Aberdeen were greatly affected after interest from us.

Seriously? BBD scored against Argentina the other night, pretty sure he'd had buried both sitters present to Buckley and Lenihan.

We'll either go up or he'll be gone at the end of the season. Some kind of relief.

On the players this tonight. Giles-aside, absolutely braindead.

"Rovers have a contingency plan in place in anticipation of a Rothwell exit but you can't have one without the other. Mowbray affirmed 'they would be stupid' if they were to sanction Rothwell's departure without some form of guarantee on the incoming front and the club already have a variety of options in mind." Expectations have been set. Up to the club to make this Rothwell move a disaster or an opportunity.

Just goes to show, maybe don't take Aberdeen fans' current opinion on Hedges at face value.

Haha imagine if Mowbray jumped ship now too!

There's no way they don't know how this will go down with fans. They MUST have some deals lined up, which could well be exciting.

Uh oh. Pete O'Rourke is as well connected and trustworthy as they come.

Bielik is just coming back from his second ACL in as many years. Wouldnt take the risk, given we're already in that boat with Dack.

Mowbray said yesterday Hedges isn't Rothwell replacement: "It’s not Hedges for Rothwell, no. Hedges is just about a free transfer, we have to pay a little bit of money to get him. He’s out of contract in four months time and they’re basically worth nothing to us after this window shuts.”

I hope you're right but we were hardly as proactive as you assume with the Armstrong money were we

And the irony is it's often the manager that genuinely cares most about the club, its fans and wider community yet he is the first person the fans turn on and is binned off.

Depends on your...or rather TM's...definition of very good. Hedges is costing £200k, how would TM refer to him?

It seems completely unrealistic to me. I imagine the final fee, if it happens, will be far less.
