We added quality but not used it like Ayari who is now a PL regular with Brighton or last January when we signed Ribeiro or Sanderson. you aren't going to do a mini overhaul in the January like you want. Why not give players like Henriksson and Tavares a full season and review next summer, granted not every signing will be successful but give them a proper chance. Yes I would move Gueye on cos he isn't suited to how we play and Kargbo can be 1 off the 4 strikers for me. Look to bring in another striker but how many quality strikers are out there cos most Championship are looking for them. Will it be look at league 1 striker who can step up or look overseas for one. on the centre back problem. Carter's injury problems are a massive problem for Ismael and the club, cos he can't stay fit sadly. Good player on his day. So we deffo need on centre back in this window and next summer, Connor O'Riordan can step up and replace Carter in the squad. the 7 came from, you would need to replace Henriksson and Taveras plus your 5

Good results for us around most of the division today.

After 15 matches last season we only had a 7 point cushion.

So if we don't have a dramatic fall off in form in the next three months, we could be on for a good season.

I don't think he does have a choice. He's a head coach, as are most "managers" now. At best they have a voice in the committee.

We’re just 3 points behind where we were after 15 matches last season.

He is definitely not doing a "great" job.

With Pratt I have always thought of a less able Colin Hendry, I hope he lives up to my expectations.

Now this is right. It seems you can see into the future 😁👍

We wont add 2 or 3 quality players in January. We never do. I think the change in formation being successful increases the number of players that we need. 2 centre backs, 2 forwards and right wing back cover. No idea where 7 or 8 came from. A number of Gestede's crap in Gueye, Henriksson, Kargbo and Tavares can all leave for me. Pickering and Ribeiro also become surplus to requirements, although I'd keep the former in case we ever want to go back to a back 4 occasionally, he can also provide extra centre back cover but it seems hes the next on the cull list for earning normal wages.

I understand why his direct approach (in communicating) wouldn't be for everyone, but I prefer to deal with directness. He's clearly got us motoring away from home - and playing some good football as well, to be fair. We're not grinding out results, we're being the better side. At home however is where he needs to find the right formula. And he's not going to get a better opportunity than this period directly in front of us.

Really pleased with how he did. You can tell a natural defender from somebody standing in, or playing out of position. It's football fate, isn't it? Injuries and circumstances often lead to an opportunity - and then it's down to you to take it. He's certainly played himself into contention for the next game. But as far as debuts at this level go, it went about as well as it could have for Pratt.

All just a bit before my time, but some big names in the club's history there, for sure. Faz's record speaks for itself, as does Garner's popularity amongst fans - even to this day. It would have been interesting to see if the latter's abilities extended to doing it at the top level, but it seems as though he was sadly never given the opportunity.

I think the Rovers will hope Litherland will step up, if needed.

Ismael has said that players were signed to play 4-2-3-1 formation in the summer, but results meant Ismael switch formation in order to pick up results and we are now winning games. The squad does need to re-justify in order to have another centre back option, back up for Alebiosu, and at least 1 more striker in the January. Players like Pickering and Ribeiro will probably leave either in the January window or next summer due to not playing and we aren't playing with left back. Gueye will leave due to not playing and Ismael not rating him We can't be signing 7 or 8 new players in January like you might want. We need to add 2 or 3 quality players in January that can help the team quickly. Priority should be right footed centre back, back up for Alebiosu and another striker? do you agree?

Players clearly playing for him. I don't like his apparent collusion with awful transfer decisions. You might say he has no choice, but I think it insults our intelligence.

Always plenty of managers interested in Championship jobs (especially at a pretty unique one where they don’t do sackings).

That's a shame 😂😂

Scratch that. Derby losing now!

What a week-end Rovers win, dingles drop into the relegation positions, Liverpool stuffed at home.
