I wouldn't say so. Sorry to be 'that guy' but a pivotal moment by definition is generally a turning point, we were already top and winning so I bloody well hope it's not a pivotal moment to send us the other way!!

:laugh: furr emuff, i was thinking in terms of taking us to 15 clear of 3rd place, And whether that now is insurmountable.

This is unreal.could those 2 minutes be pivotal to the season?

In all of the games we have lost we have had chances, many, we have no converted. We only have 2 forwards, most clubs aim to have 5. Jet might as well be on loan at another club, Burns is deemed not ready. So we have 2 plus a totally inadequate Smith. We should not be surprised, and is why a few (I include myself ) were unhappy when Baldock left (I know the money was good, he is a L1 player etc) but we did not sign anyone else. We need to. We have coped so far, but it is getting harder as teams find a way to frustrate us, but if you create the number of chances we do and do not convert it will cause you to pay. Now every club needs strikers, it is why they are the big money items. How we find someone, or I think 2 players, that will either be affordable, or available is almost impossible to say. Or you are scrambling around with players like Smith, who is not fit enough, and IMHO was never good enough. Maynard from over the bridge should still be worth a loan until season end (fireworks lit) and Doyle I do hope we can get as he is playing and fit. But 2 are needed. Jet needs shifting off the wage bill as he clearly has no future with us.

Exactly right, and cotterill can blame the ref all he wants, but we need to be converting a higher percentage of chances.

1-1 for me.

How many would David Kelly have scored if he was playing today?

over the top? I don't appreciate my deceased relatives being ill spoken of, you may but I certainly don't.

Come on bud, these are words said in jest by a young man 25 years ago, probably in response to some idiots saying something sh1tty about his kids. Holloway is a fierce competitor but if you think he would be happy to hear about a city fan dying for real, you are out of your mind.

For what is worth, he would be an ideal appointment in terms of his cv, and style of management in my opinion, but I am not sure that the board would take the risk.

If we lose then bye bye Sean I think.

Nah, he will give an interview using big words to impress the board, to make himself sound like someone with a philosophy gcse, he will be fine for the next three years.

in fairness, what is anyone possibly going to do with that rovers squad to make them get any results, they are $hite, and no matter what they do, they only have one decent player, and everyone they have who is decent gets sold, and the board never re-invests, so what do they expect?

He has fantastic technique, I have mentioned him a few times, but I reckon 3 million is too much for us.
