...why don't we seem to care?

When thinking about Rovers at the moment I seem to be mostly/only looking forward to next year. The air seems to have gone out of this year a bit early.
I don't think I'm alone in feeling this way. But why?

Do all the departures make it feel like this squad's era is already over?
Are we subconsciously preparing for/accepting our failure to make the 8 or to make an impact if we do?
Is 'just' making the 8 no longer good enough? Surely not?
Or are the play-offs just not that big a prize?

This run in should be exciting. :?

Not sure it is just your fans tbh....I and most of my friends feel the same, what is the point of finishing in the 8th to have to dig deep in your pockets and know you are going to have to travel to get spanked :(

You lot can have the gig :D

This full season has been a big let down and I really do think the players are getting ready for they're hols now and looking to next season, obviously that depends on what coach and other players that are going to be leaving, can't remember is murrell is with us another season if so his priority is to get fit and it's gone quiet about Clinton to there isn't much noise v
Coming from the club at present, I have a good feeling about next season as for this season to me it's dead and buried and has been from the very start.

The spanking will be live and exclusive in my front room.

Race?

The use of that term would imply some sort of excitement and competition.






If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

Frederick Douglas
