Jeez. It’s getting harder to justify the time and money to support this rabble. The football has gone backwards. The players are confused and look nervous. That’s down to the work on the training ground.
A work mate (Rotherham fella) warned me that the players may not take to ‘monotone Matt’ as he affectionately refers to him. I hope for our sake he’s mistaken.
One thing’s for sure - Mr Taylor’s game prep isn’t working. They don’t look up for it at the start of the last 4 games, even when a Liverpool match was in the offing. That is worrying. He’s a Championship manager - he needs to start managing.
Something doesn’t feel right.

Dont believe the owners are providing funds and I wont believe it until i see these players come in. JCH IMO was just a show and they had no intention of paying for him. Think it’s become very clear, thst that can be the only logical explanation really. Given hours of notice what we need to do to extend. Miss the deadline to sign by ‘seconds’. Occam’s razor and all that. |

Lets see if we actually sign him Topper .... The Owners Son is pulling all the strings - its almost as if Daddy has bought him a play thing and he is clueless , arrogant and rude to the staff - I am told from an absolute nailed on source that morale is very very low around the club - Listen hard enough and you will hear the whispers that he pulled the JCH deal ... maybe its just the wind though. Taylor needed three or four new faces in this window and at least two early in the window to try and build on the momentum there was at the start of the year - hasn't happened and I will be amazed if we bring in two! Even if we do its way too late and will not be anywhere near enough. Hopefully we can muddle our way to safety this season and Taylor can clear out the absolute dross he has inherited. I've always said there's zero evidence the new owners have the money needed to take the club forward, I think Wael's sold us down the river. Hopefully I'm wrong and we do now make some decent signings, although the worry is that Martin's not ill and he's now also off this week. You are spot on - Wael has absolutely made a huge misjudgement in entrusting our club to these frauds!! |

Players must skip into training with enthusiasm. |

Post match interview was just as depressing Sounds like it's starting to dawn on him what a sh** show the club is. Wouldn't be surprised if he jacks it in with us and decides spending some time with his family for a bit is a better idea. |

I don't think he was moaning about the board, he was pointing at there being no scouting or recruitment team in place. Obviously that was Jennings and his boys, who went after Wife Beater left.
Although it could be aimed at Al Saeed that he isn't allowing him to set up a recruitment team. Who knows? It's us, lies and smoke screens FC

That was a very depressing interview...and very worrying. I sense when he applied for the job he was told there would be money in January and now another back track from our slippery owners has revealed there is the square root of nothing being made available. Taylor doesn't have the bottle to say it out loud but he has been shafted by the Board!! .... He said tonight ... 1. The squad is not fit enough - players continue to make bad decisions 2. Bodies are broken - players need pulling out of the firing line as they are physically and mentally low. 3. Coverage now is very thin 4. Blame me not the players as they are mentally shot ! 5. He will be delighted if we manage to get to HT on Saturday and the score is 0-0. 6. Other clubs are stepping in and taking our targets 7. Expected to have a new face in tonight starting and now not sure if they will even be in at the weekend .... It is a shambles !! - I wonder how much of that interview will be used officially by the Club !! |

Post match interview was just as depressing He sounds a lot like he’s been let down vs what he was promised. That seems very clear to me. Almost sounds a bit in disbelief and how the club operates, from a transfer perspective. |

I said to my mate after the late winner against Charlton that we were now at least safe from relegation, I'm not so sure now, where are 16 more points coming from. Without Wilson in defence we look like a bunch of kids, which we are and without Ward we have nothing in midfield. The manager has made mistakes with team selections and formations but as many have said this is such an unbalanced squad that JB assembled I think anyone would struggle to get results. If we don't get anyone in before the window ends there is a real chance of relegation.

“Don’t take it out on the players, take it out on me “our new Manager has just said. Sounds like he has thrown in the towel already.
His further comments about the lack of incomings, is also very worrying.
Something is clearly wrong and it would appear our new owners are not exactly wanting to throw the cash around and our Manager sounded like a man who is thinking he has made a big mistake coming here.
Nothing surprises me at Rovers, so it’s anyone’s guess what will happen next.

Well that was absolutely awful, no shot on target and if we were still there now I doubt that would have changed.
Tonight showed how weak our back up squad are, with a spine of Wilson, Taylor Ward & Martin we are a completely different side. We've played pretty much the whole game tonight without those 4 & boy did it show.
I've not heard Taylors interview but if we really are likely to get to Saturday without adding to the squad it could be a very hard watch.
The owners say they have ambition they have just over a week to prove that's the case

Jevani brown should never pull on a Rovers shirt again. From my seat in the east stand I could not believe that he spent all of his time so say warming up chatting to the Exeter subs and their fans.

Devoid of ideas, lack of hunger, skill level poor, cannot believe what I am watching, and our recruitment plan sounds like Waels on Fifa 19 😂

Dreadful, depressing performance and Taylor’s interview didn’t help. It feels like something is badly wrong, how can the squad be so broken? Individuals having a shocking game let alone lack of team cohesion. We know this squad had the ability to do better than we’ve been doing. Something doesn’t feel right. Worrying
