From the sound of that some players look like they'll be dropped indefinitely....

Yet again. How about the person at the very top, who actually owns the club, and who hired him and gave him the role of DOF in the first place actually having accountability? Wael is investing in us and well as well, he has paid off all of our debts. As frustrated as we are with the performance of those has hired, we should be appreciative of what he has done for us and I am sure he is doing the best he can (which also I'm sure is what he feels is in the best interest of the club.) However, those he has employed need to take a good long look at themselves and that needs to be those on the board as a first point of review. Widdrington should go, and Starnes should be on a warning that much more is expected. I agree, I would imagine that Starnes being UK based has a bigger hand in all this than peoples reactions seem to suggest....

What saddens me is that if we get relegated and FGR get promoted we'll on paper be worse than a team containing a butcher, a baker and presumably a candlestick maker. A don't blame JB as he's trying to make a silk purse out of a sows ear. Trying to keep positive..... GtGh Hmmmmmm.......

Hanlan falls over again. Pathetic. Its embarrasing at times, can't understand why Daly doesn't get a chance he is much better in the box. I guess with our 3 highest scorer Nicholson out, leave Hanlan our second highest scorer out, that leaves only our highest scorer who is a left back the only scorer of note on the pitch....

Let's hope not.... If continually playing him with whilst carrying an injury has cost us losing him for the last 11 matches can only be described as a massive clanger....

By the end of this season Barrett will have made fewer senior appearances in 5 years since his debut for reading in 2015 than Luke McCormick will have made in the first team at rovers in a year and he's 6 months younger. Let's be honest, if you're playing 7 games a year at 22 you're not developing....

I can't think of any reason why we should be noticeably less fit than any other side, a lot of teams are playing twice weekly and have the same problems with regards to squad fitness that we do.... I think as chewy said, there seems to be no strategy going in to games late on. Perhaps we can't change players and keep shape, maybe we have a dilemma whereby we weaken in the hope that having fresher legs might be advantageous in either the short or long term.... Whatever it is the stats suggest that we are not even close to finding a solution to this....

One thing I was thinking about were the costs of a rebuild.... Would it actually be cheaper and perhaps more effective to rebuild in league 2? Obviously the best squad build we've seen in the last 20 years was when we were in the conference. Now, I'm not suggesting that relegation should be considered anything other than a disaster, but our rebuild in league 1 over the summer was clearly mishandled. I suppose the question is can any manager rebuild us in league 1....

We were also relegated in 1981 but not 1951, 1961, 1971 nor 1991. I think the whole point of the theory is that we get relegated from league 1 to league 2 in a year that begins with a 2 and ends in a 1.... Again, I'm not in to this stuff....

Fair enough, I thought it was the Charlton players header. I stand corrected. Still the linesman fault though I think that Aneke wins that header clean from Kilgour and Washington is offside. Ive watched the replay and Aneke out jumps Kilgour by about half a foot. If Alfie had gotten a touch there is no way the trajectory of that ball would go into Washingtons path. Looks like alfie's header all the way to me.... Anyway, no rovers player contested the decision. Baldwin just looks dismayed on the goal line and Little looks like he's looking back at kilgour when the ball goes in....

Another spooky piece of information (given all of the 2's and 1's going on there) is.... We were relegated after a:
2-1 defeat to Wycombe (2001) 2-1 defeat to Colchester (2011)
Not that i'm into any of this stuff or anything....

The national league is so unpredictable.... Just when you think Torquay should have it, or possibly Hartlepool.... Sutton Utd appear from nowhere.... They've still got loads of football to play down there. Sutton have 19 games remaining.....
