    I actually enjoy it for its unpredictability and evenness.
    For sure, I have been frustrated by some of our performances, but we've also put on some excellent, exciting displays.
    I don't understand who you're trying to blame for the injuries and illness. It's maddening, but it's no-one's fault!
    Then you criticise Johnson for doing what he does. Travis is the same, to be honest. You'd expect both of them to get a suspension at least once a season. Almost all "stopper" midfielders do.
    My point was that Mowbray has put together an excellent squad - just look at the 20 I listed. And outside that 20, we have all the others in the official First Team list. Waiting in the wings are Vale, Butterworth, Magloire, Grayson, Carter, Thompson, Brennan and others.
    I watched one of the Gibraltar games on tv, and this lad Annesley, who is a 6' 4" centre-back, played in midfield and put in a good performance.
    I think there is a lot to be optimistic about.
    Any team in this Division can suddenly win three in a row. (Hardly any seem to manage four!). If you do that, you shoot up the table. That's why I don't think predicting positions in May, now, makes any sense.

    I dont watch much football anymore Aucks. I cant sit and watch games played at 20% behind closed doors. It is not my cup of tea at all. The game lacks every single ingredient as to what used to interest me. I dont watch any Champ football if Rovers are not involved. Its a poor standard. And I find watching Rover a bit boring. Its all stop start.
    We have been playing ok for 15 min spells for 3 seasons now.

    He has built a decent squad. He has a very good academy. He has been given alot more money than Luton etc etc to build a decent squad.

    Yet we are below the, look no better than them. And its a huge failure on the managers part we are heading backwards.

    I think we have an appalling record with injuries, and I 100% questions the medical staff connected to BRFC.
    Like the players, the manager, they are second rate and failing at what they do.

    Here is a prediction. They are due to finish with around 60 points.

    Going backwards. Boring and I cant be arsed to argue with you and for you to me I am wrong.

    You are happy with them treading water for ever more. You are happy to watch utter ****e like on Sat with 2 really poor sides not really having any real ability, unable to break one another down.

    Bristol City just won 3 games in a row.

    You are an expert on everything Aucks. You will NOT do this, as you do not ever answer any questions.
    You claim its easy to win 3 in a row. Anyone can do it?

    Tell me this Aucks, can you tell me the last time Rovers won 3 games in a row?
    That will actually tell you what you need to know, and should answer your own question.

    But you wont do that

    Champs - I didn't say it was easy to win three in a row.
    In fact, my point was the opposite. Because it's such an even league, any team which DOES manage that shoots up the table, and I really do believe 20 of the teams could do that without it being predictable in advance.
    You just seem absolutely determined to put everything about the club down at the moment, and I simply can't see why.
    Of course our medical/conditioning team isn't inferior to everyone else's. Have you looked at their qualifications and experience?!
    The fact is, there will ALWAYS be games like Saturday's. Warnock at Boro SETS OUT to make EVERY game like that, but he gets bags of praise! I actually enjoy the sheer unpredictability of every match - and the very level playing-field.
    I simply don't understand why you think we should be different from all the other Championship clubs.
    Our history does NOT make us a special case.
