Spend too much time doing nothing.

@glen9mullan From memory what he actually said was he never went back and asked for more backing midway through the season. If he asked for £7m for the season and spent it all in the summer then he never went back cap in hand asking for more in January #rovers

@blackburnrovers @_ElliottJackson @bav_aled Will Rudy continue this summer with his plan of selling players who got 1 year left on their contracts? If so we could be in for another overhaul

[Sam Holbeck @SamHolbeck]

@_ElliottJackson Letting Hedges go madness, weakening our best 11 yet again. 6+ players played LWB last season and none of them were even close to Hedges’ levels #rovers

[Sam Holbeck @SamHolbeck]

@FyldeCoastRover @_ElliottJackson It’s effectively unlevelled playing field. Benefitting the clubs with high revenues, of which we’re not one. It reduces the reliance on owners to ‘make up the difference’, which has been the Venkys sole saving grace #rovers

[Sam Holbeck @SamHolbeck]

@AjBRFC @Rovers Of all the clubs numerous mistakes over the recent years you’ve managed to list some of the more insignificant ones. Not even sure what they ‘did too Leonard’?

[Sam Holbeck @SamHolbeck]

@MikeyDelap Worrying thing is we’ll lose even more experience in the summer, and I’ve zero confidence Rudy won’t just repeat the same mistakes from last year #rovers

[Sam Holbeck @SamHolbeck]

@Champchatpod24 @_ElliottJackson Why is everyone pretending Coventry aren’t already promoted? They’ve probably already had the party

[Sam Holbeck @SamHolbeck]

@_ElliottJackson What is the latest with Kargbo? I thought it was just a ‘dead leg’? #rovers

[Sam Holbeck @SamHolbeck]

@Rovers18754 @_ElliottJackson Can’t say it’s backfired until after the game on Friday. You don’t rest players and expect a positive result…

[Sam Holbeck @SamHolbeck]

@_ElliottJackson Our midfield is utterly depressing, just give the ball away under no pressure

[Sam Holbeck @SamHolbeck]

@brfcbee1875 @_ElliottJackson Nowhere else to go because the EFL backed themselves into a corner, should be Ipswich they play tomorrow as that fixture came first, they’ve had months to fit in Ipswich Pompey.
3 games in 6 days isn’t new, but it’s a big disadvantage when where the only ones doing it

[Sam Holbeck @SamHolbeck]

@_ElliottJackson These 3 year contracts make no sense. 1st year - adapt to new country/league get up to speed, 2nd - more settled, breakthrough season, 3rd - sell in summer to avoid losing them for nothing. Either longer initial contracts, or the seemingly impossible (contract renewals) #rovers

[Sam Holbeck @SamHolbeck]

@_ElliottJackson I wouldn’t risk Carter with a 2 week break coming up if he wasn’t 100% #rovers

[Sam Holbeck @SamHolbeck]

@MFC_Steve @jgin97 @Jackprobert5 @secondtierpod Again, you got a corner when Bryan put a free kick straight out of play. Understand the red is frustrating but we’ve had countless decisions like that go against us, no short of 4 nailed on reds not given, yourselves (given league position) probably less so

[Sam Holbeck @SamHolbeck]

@jgin97 @Jackprobert5 @secondtierpod Can’t bemoan every missed free kick. We didn’t get a pen when Cooper handled inside the box 🤷

[Sam Holbeck @SamHolbeck]

@CrankDecorative @Rovers And yet we’ve won most of our games with a back 3 this season. Don’t mind the formation, it’s the personnel that concerns me. McLoughlin can’t play in a 4, Yuki will be massively isolated up top alone #rovers

[Sam Holbeck @SamHolbeck]

@Roversssss Still a decent amount of games remaining so things can change. Granted we’ve got a worse squad than previous escapes but you look at sides like Oxford, Charlton & Pompey who’re equally as bereft of quality but can still win games #rovers

[Sam Holbeck @SamHolbeck]

@_ElliottJackson It hasn’t been as effective, I would still favour it for Millwall, maybe not home games. It’s the best way to get 2 ST on the pitch, which is the only time we look like scoring. Can’t play 442 with that midfield, looked exposed at QPR even with Tronstad #rovers

[Sam Holbeck @SamHolbeck]

@_ElliottJackson If we stay up it’s solely down to the existing players from last season. All this years signings (bar Mori) are awful, no fight, no quality and don’t look interested #rovers

[Sam Holbeck @SamHolbeck]

@brfc_brad98 @Rovers Anyone else and they don’t even get the chance, he made a big impact second half
