It’s improved, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves!

I’d sooner we continued with James at right back too. For me, he’s the best all round full back we have. His all round game is better than Trent I’d say, though Trent is much better going forward, obviously.

If they’re going to pick a keeper that isn’t Pickford- Ramsdale should be that man, as far as I’m concerned.

Watford are ruthless, but that ruthlessness has served them well- so the process clearly works for them.

Don’t watch it these days, but I have been watching ‘dark side of the ring’- very much an eye opener in some ways!

I think we can all remember the final- England were getting absolutely mullered and Southgate wouldn’t make a change. Then Italy finally scored and then went on to win. It was so obvious what was going to happen and he wouldn’t change it. I’m not saying all English players would have been incredibly better for their clubs after that, but they wouldn’t have had the hangover of the euros with a win either!

It really isn’t. I don’t like this narrative either. Some posters are probably are too negative, some probably aren’t negative enough. It is what it is.

Which you then go on to agree with in your first paragraph, though? He’s playing players out of position, players out of form that aren’t playing at club level and just not progressing at all. For all the anti Sterling talk- he bagged three at the last tournament (only one behind Kane) and is our best goal threat after Kane. He’s always the first one on the chopping block for fans, it’s bizarre. Since the Euros final, for me we’ve been going backwards and IMO, Southgate has run his course.

Woodgate has shown nothing so far to demonstrate managerial ability- if Rotherham want to employ him, it’s their funeral and all that….

Our academy strategy is only right if it yields players that help us achieve our objectives (which presumably include promotion). If it doesn’t, then we are just plodding along for the sake of it and just existing as a club really for me. Don’t get me wrong, it does give me a sense of pride that we have just fielded an academy player in the match day squad for the 600th consecutive game though…

I think it might be anecdotally seeing more Burnley shirts than Rovers shirts knocking about tbh- though of my mates in Clitheroe- it’s about 50/50.

Given they’re all much nearer to Burnley, it would be very unlikely for someone to start supporting Rovers round there…. I don’t think we have a much bigger catchment area at all, there’s not much in it really. I think you’ve been a bit crafty with the places you are claiming are Rovers too- Accy is very much 50/50, there are plenty of Burnley fans in Ossy and Great Harwood, Rawtenstall is more United than anything else, but there are lots more Burnley than Rovers there and Ramsbottom? There can’t be more than a handful of blues there!

You mention people from Pendle could easily support Rovers- you aren’t telling me Nelson, Colne, Fence and Barnoldswick are hotbeds for Rovers fans… Clitheroe is more Burnley than it is Rovers as well!

We won’t- they’ve got season ticket holders in there….

Only a joke pal, don’t take it too hard 🤙.

Big talk from a man with his shirt off and a hairless chest in his profile picture….😏

Luton fans singing ‘you’re fucking shit’. A fair summary of the second half tbh.

Settle down mate, as shit as we have been today, we were excellent Tuesday.

Well shit. Fuck Luton and fuck Nathan Jones. Absolutely garbage from us. Classic Rovers too- no home wins all season Luton? Go on then lads, it’s your time…

Didn’t catch any of the first half, but this half we’ve been appalling….

I honestly think with a lot of people, once they’ve made their mind up on a player, their card is marked and they won’t change it back….

The YouTube comment section isn’t exactly known for its rationality tbf.

Tends to pop off from 3pm onwards….

That’s you though- most people would go down that way….
