Not at all in my opinion,We started this season well
4 April 2017. “Rovers will now turn their attention to securing the League Two title. And Ferguson insists he will have no problem making sure his players remain focused for the final five games.“The first thing’s done - promoted,” he said. We can now focus on the next five games and make sure we win the league...We’re six points ahead with five games to go. We want to go unbeaten for the rest of the season.”14 April - drew 0-0 vs Mansfield17 April - lost 1-0 vs Blackpool22 April - lost 2-1 vs Wycombe29 April - lost 3-1 vs Exeter6 May - lost 2-1 vs Hartlepool

So, which is it to be today??
Did the end of last season's capitulation effect this season's form. Massively in my opinion
It doesn't matter which statistics you use or which side of the fence you are on we are far too near the bottom. Anybody that isn't concerned should be. The level of concern will vary with individuals but our tendency to shoot ourselves in the foot or collapse over the last few seasons mean that we need some daylight sooner rather than later.
I am not really sure that since1969 was saying that Kiwomyas' situation is being included in his "lack of foresight" views.

But I was saying the lack of foresight with regards to not signing two players who changed their minds about coming to the Rovers and not having possible replacements . Alex was just unlucky and Williams too as he was asked to stay.
An unrelated question SM if I may. Is your assessment that our budget this season is give or take in the top half for this league, or the bottom half?
Thank you. Most would I am sure concur that top half is certainly “competitive”.
Hound that's what I've been tellingYou for weeks, about our league position
I agree, but I don't think using solely the budget to determine where everyone should be finishing is a very intelligent way
