Pears communication skills is something he lack. He needs to louder and shouting from his position.

That’s a crazy role but it is what it is and we have to be cognisant of that. Regarding our best starting 11, that’s not only a pretty good team but we would have decent players on the bench to bring on. As it is at the moment they are stating for us and our options from the bench are pretty average.

Manning going back would be my bet

Interesting.

Rowett couldn't get them higher but I'm not sure that squad is any better than relegation choices. Will be interesting who they actually appoint. Michael Beale would be awful choice.

It’s very simple. The wages are paid and there’s a team in blue and white running around Ewood Park, whilst that is the case a good few thousand will turn up, plus they’ll buy a pie if they fancy and they’ll buy some tat from the shop if they fancy and that’s that. There is no point in wasting energy in worrying about changing minds of such folk.

if we could get that starting 11 on the pitch then its be top 6/challenging for top 6 2 short? we got Miller, McLoughin, Wharton, Carter, Pratt, plus possible O'Riordan on recall then add Litherland and Atcheson surely 1 is enough. Plus we need to factor in the 25 players register rules. We only have 1 spare spot currently unless we move players on

He is good for the lols though 😉 https://www.ibroxnoise.co.uk/2024/02/ex-rangers-manager-caught-with-pants-down/

Won't this be a decision by Sheffield Wednesday not us?

Supporters want to carry on to back the players inside Ewood Park. You are never going to stop people buying from the club shop or concourse what was the replies?

Replacing an experienced Championship manager like Gary Rowett with Michael Beale would be like one obvious example we could all think of! Very silly indeed.

Fingers crossed he gets it, That would be a second relegation spot (after Sheff Wed) sorted then 😉

What I want and what will happen are different things. Of course I want a functioning leadership at the club with appropriate powers. Just not likely IMO - more interested if Pasha is “on the naughty step” and if we will see a short term return to the faux stability whilst the heat dissipates or if the timing is purely coincidental

Michael Beale in the frame for Oxford job

Red and white in the north east on Boxing Day, let me have this one!

That’s a boost for anyone else battling relegation, us included. Feel he’s had them punishing above their level and it would be difficult to replace with better but let’s see

More English players need to go abroad.

As every good winger should be left foot on the left etc, whip balls in. ball is most dangerous around the penalty area and not edge of the box after a cut in!

He was much improved last season. I didnt expect him to play such an important role in a team comfortably 5th in La Liga. A lot of people were prematurely suggesting that his agent didnt have his best interests at heart. I felt at the time that it was sour grapes and that the blame needed to be aimed internally at allowing the situation to end how it did. The move he has made couldnt have been much better for him.

They’re playing him in his best position. None of this out on the left cutting inside bollocks.

Agreed on Toth being our best keeper and that he should start. But if you are referring to the backpass in the first half, theres no way that you can put it down to Pears not communicating. It was poor of Pratt to be playing that pass in that situation, it was always going to be awkward to deal with and its confirmation bias to pin it on Pears.

Suprising, as much as they have struggled still think he'd be your best bet to stay up in their position.

The ideal scenario is everyone back like normal (to prevent a short corner etc) as soon as the player runs up to strike it - the defending team sprint out the box.. keeper catches it and then plays it up to the now attacking team - leaving a fast break of 8 on 2 etc.

Selling Hyam how we did was negligent. To not bring in a senior centre back capable of starting games even in this window would compound that. If we dont, or we just bring O'Riordan back from a struggling League 1 side, its simply asking for trouble. Our centre back options are still sub par, I still think we are 2 short. Definitely someone to play in the middle too.
