It’s the Matchday Thread nobody wants to start - so here goes. I’ll take one for the team. Our bogey team, away from home certainly. The defence showed signs of life in the second half last week. Forget the Mickey Mouse cup - we’re looking upwards in the league now. Going 2-2: Azza and Sincs. UTG. Now you know why nobody wanted to start it . Mods …. Ban !

I fail to see what is so special about Sinclair! Who's ever suggested he's special? If he was still that good he wouldn't be playing for Rovers!

The first goal was a bad decision but it didn’t make us lose the game. The fact we didn’t create hardly anything in the game and our defence was just horrible is why we lost the game. I really want players like mcormick and loft to do well but their not even playing at league 2 level let alone this league… I haven’t thought loft was that good from the start and always thought he was a bad signing.. Marquis is a lettuce of a forward now and best days behind him. Connelly blatantly needs a good centre back to play along side for his confidence to get back where he was last season We need 3 solid defenders brought in and 2 wingers This isn’t going to happen and it’s frustrating as this could be a really rare chance for us to make a move for the play offs

Joey got two calls wrong this week. One we played a reserve side v Muff which could of Awarded us a big pay day to booster budget. Muff play cheltenham home for Wembley trip.
Secondly: he released 3 defenders and didn't get at least one in. Last week we were thinking of Wembley and play offs .
However : he's transfered the club and we are in the top half. Not many managers have achieved that in the last 20 years.

Mr. Barton referred to Sinclair as a special player who would benefit the club.

Clarke hasn't been trusted to play in defence since he returned to the fold.

The one good thing about Thomas leaving is that it frees up a place and means that we have to sign a replacement.

Where are all the donuts in the week that thought it was a good idea to basically throw the game in the week by putting out a B side to concentrate on the league. Worked out well that 👏🙈

Bit off when the manager picks you in the team then doesn't find out until the morning of the game don't you think? I thought they found out on the coach yesterday? Either way it says more about Bobby Thomas, Burnley and any agents involved to me personally. If true Burnley acted abysmal and Bobby Thomas showed no respect to the club or us supporters 100%...** him!

Thomas leaving in such a manner could have caused a drop in morale for today's game. Certainly wouldn't have helped.
I thought Hoole played well, but other than that was a depressing performance.
Here's to some decent signings and remembering that our league position is still something to be very happy about.

Mr. Barton referred to Sinclair as a special player who would benefit the club. If he was playing in his proper position I'm sure we would see a different player. He's never played as a Wing Back ever.

If we played Bolton in the final, which Plymouth could well now do, then it would have been a great final for both the fans and club's bank balance. Hopefully JB won't now be saying at the end of the window that we struggled to sign players as we couldn't match other clubs offers.

What if Collins or Coburn got injured and was out for 6 weeks our squad depth is not good enough to cope with such a loss. We are desperately missing Rossiter who got injured in the same pointless competition. I would rather trust JB than some know it all from a forum.

He's never played as a Wing Back ever. Quite right and this has been our problem If you play a back 3 you need wing backs who can defend and know when to push forward In my opinion we have no out and out wing back in the squad (Gordon? Not yet ready? Anderson? Been injured and is more of a winger) Therefore we should play 4 at the back, make the flanks solid and build from there We look so vulnerable at the moment it’s scary. A good team would tear us to shreds. This window I hope we concentrate on a centre back and 2 wing backs or a decent left back. We miss Rossiter, so may well need another enforcer in the middle too. Sinclair needs to be contributing at the top end of the pitch, not defending!! UTG

It was hardly the refs fault we were poor, JB needs to stop blaming everybody and look at what mistakes he's making himself, expecting kids to be decent L1 defenders is one of them. Definitely. They could at least try to be impartial though. If you watched the same game and same performance from both teams and officials but rovers won would you still blame the ref?not a chance
