The meltdown thread
« on December 29, 2025, 09:57:37 pm by Fal »
For all you negative supporters in our ranks that bitch and moan every week about the manager, the players, the budget and everything else and take football way too seriously please use this thread to bitch and moan away so that the rest of us can have a chilled out discussion and avoid this thread.

For the record, yes im not happy with the current form but i dont let it bother me, im rovers till i die, we have great seasons and we have shit seasons, its a part of being a football fan  :rtid:

Moan away...

For the record I’m a happy clapper in general, but I’m well f.?!>d off at the moment!!! currently not loving football at all.
Also for the record, we’ve been hard done by with the results, but you cannot feel sorry for yourself, get up for it and try again, make it happen.

I do, ive said many of times a big bulk of our squad just arent good enough for this league and thats the reason behind where we are. Defensively we are extremely poor but guess what i don't let football ruin my life, annoying during the game sure but it is what is and we move on. Id rather have McCann here going into the January window and knowing what the problem is than Schofield not having a clue.

I agree Fal. There is more to life than football.  Frustrating as it is with the results. Some people will know why I say it

We need January to come soon then pray we make the right signings... That's our only hope of staying in League One.

We came up as champions, not back doored it though the play offs ffs

McCann deserves to be on the block, any other manager at any other club would be too.

And we have a weaker team than last season's team.

We played really well tonight. Some mistakes sure.  Some bad luck (Gibson & Bailey spring to mind). Some terrible officiating.

We need some pace and quality in the centre forward position.

Not unhappy with the manager, staff or players.

Solid effort all around. On another night we'd have won that.

What’s so frustrating is the business we did in the summer. We signed 2….er….strikers, neither of which were good enough to lace Street’s boots. Ajayi and Crew have been poor and the only good loan we signed has been recalled (part of the reason we’re now conceding for fun). Gotts hasn’t progressed and neither Middleton, (who didn’t have to do much to be better than Gibson).
Defensively, we needed 4 cb’s and we got them, but only COR has shown any L1 level of performance. I’m not sure any of the full backs are L1 standard either (maybe Sterry).
Neither keeper are good enough.

Last, but not least, is the insane repetitive nature of having our midfield out numbered in just about every game we’ve played and still not having a nasty so and so who can stop the opposition in their tracks.

We are an average L2 side that can get out of L2 with good loan additions (like last season). Nothing has changed. Compare and contrast with what Bradford did.

Perfectly put.

Short version is - poor transfer window.

Hopefully they pull it out the bag in Jan again

Always a chance when you loan players that you lose them the following season, it did weaken us. At the time they looked good signings most of them, just haven’t worked out. Important we get the right ones in.
