What do you reckon @Slick ? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/61180291

I don't think they'll be as optimistic as Rangers.🤔

I reckon we went out to do a job last night and had a couple of chances to nick it in the second half. We nearly got out of there intact but it took a wonder strike to break our defence down, so that gives me confidence for tge return. Truth is, we are struggling to put a team together so for me, its always all about the Rangers and will very much depend on who turns up next Thursday night, although I am more hopefull now than I was before the game.

Very pleased to get that point yesterday, but the sooner this season is over for United the better. Its been grim watching mostly, ten Hag's got to get some confidence going again and quick.
I guess Rangnicks £8million isn't too bad when you look at Benitez' payout? Who am I kidding, grrrrr

Same as you we haven't played well for months and somehow we are still sixth and seventh respectively.

Same, I do fancy an all British final.

For months I thought Rovers v Bournemouth would be a crucial game in our season. After tonight, when Sheffield Utd have won at QPR, we need something more than a miracle.

It's been a good season, I've watched some very good football but when push comes to the shove Rovers haven't been good enough.

Ah well I've bought my season tickets for next season so we'll live in hope again.

Do you think Rovers would've survived in the Premiership? Maybe if they had gone up a new owner/buyer would come along as obviously a Premiership club is a more an attraction than a former Premiership club.🤔 It would've been nice to see them promoted this season as this coming May the 25th will be the 30th anniversary since they beat Leicester in the play-off final ( I was there that day!) to become original members of the newly formed Premier League.


Maybe the season won't end in too much disappointment, if 'the Dingles' get relegated.

Where I come from, "Rovers" play in blue and white quarters and are currently in the playoff places in league 2. Please be more specific.

Ah yes, I remember the Bristol version beating 'There's only one Stanley' to the last automatic League 2 promotion place, by getting a 99th minute win 5 years ago, on the last day/kick of the season, when Stanley blew it at home against Stevenage on the supposed 'promotion day'. Best wishes for overtaking Northampton!

I don't fhink the current side would have stayed up. Given the club's financial situation I hoped sufficient funds would have been made available to strengthen the squad and give us a decent chance. I stress though it would be a mistake if the club spent all the PL riches on players and wages. This would have been a great opportunity to reduce current debts and even if relegated after just one season the parachute payments would have contributed a lot to further reducing the current debt.

Yes, we were at that day as well. As for Burnley I think it's very hard to call. Sacking Dyche seems to have had an impact whether or not that will continue remains to be seen. They have some tough fixtures coming up.

@PaulSB
I remember earlier in the season saying that Rovers were nailed on for a play-off place even maybe an automatic promotion.I think i put the mockers on it
Whatever happens you still have that memory of winning the premier league title(with help from the Hammers ),something a lot of clubs haven't achieved.

@PaulSB ive just read that Mowbray contract is about to expire and no one has talked to him regarding renewal. Seems very odd given what he has achieved on a pretty modest budget.

Well, shiver my timbers and splice the mainbrace, etc Bristol 'The Pirates' Rovers, who seemed to be nailed on for the play-offs with a chance of automatic promotion, are struggling to keep their heads above water against the mighty Roch 'The Dale' dale.
