disappointed to see no number 9 focus point/target man signed by us in the window.

Rovers to win 2-1 and Johnson/the players to bring back the 3 points. Who is helping Johnson with the coaching duties apart from Benson, Sancho and set piece coach?

He has better players on higher wages. He should have taken us up but he never even made the play-offs.

Your negativity never surprises me.

You're continually surprised at the "negativity", its what you do.

I actually think Tuesday's team selection was a gamble with Norwich in mind.

Given the names being bandied about, I wouldn’t disagree. Just listened to Damien on Radio Lancs tonight and came across well and most importantly, he is Rovers, through and through.

I have never ever said announce him permanently until the end of the season. That would indeed be lunacy. All Im saying is IF Johnson is doing well in the meantime, Id rather bide my time on a game by game basis than appoint someone crap purely for the sake of making someone permanent. So are we more attractive with Championship status assured in summer? Maybe not so much, I dont know.

I didn't say for the rest of the season though, all I said originally was see how he goes and ride the wave if there is one to ride. If he hadn't won on Tuesday that would have been that, same goes at Norwich. But if he wins on Saturday we might just have something going. Why not maximise the situation?

Its a big if. He simply shouldnt be just left to be caretaker for the rest of the season. It would be lunacy. The thing is, as bad as we know we are, there are only 2 spots available and one of those is almost certainly to be taken by Oxford. So its 1 from 5 or 6.

Was just exaggerating to illustrate a point but it still stands. I know you're very much not in favour of it but IF Johnson happened to stay until the end of the season and kept us up do you think we'd then be more attractive to potential candidates?

Are you OK? It was a conversation about Coleman's managerial record, not about the world's ills. I'm surprised you didn't throw Mandelson into the mix.

If the best candidate at any part of process is Chris Coleman then something has gone horribly wrong. He shouldnt be under consideration.

A good one from around the time of my arrival:

I did originally say unless someone is already lined up. I didn't actually realise that QPR is a week on Saturday, I assumed it was midweek,which does change things a bit,it's more of a stretch. That said, if we do happen to win at Norwich and the managerial stars aren't aligning, then there's no problem for me in leaving it to Johnson at QPR and trying to eek out another important result.

What’s tugay up to these days?

Have you just woken up from a coma? There’s negativity because are owners are useless and sold all our best players, while driving away two very good managers and replacing them with a dud who’s just left the club. I’d like a good manager, but I don’t think Rudy or Pasha are capable of hiring one.

It depends how good the candidate is. If Bilic says he's willing to come Im snapping his arm off at the elbow regardless of what Johnson's done to that point. If the only candidate whose said he's willing to come at that point is say Coleman (apologies MB) Im fobbing him off and giving Johnson another week at least until I can find someone decent.

Why bother with a team!

I really dont get this idea of speeding up or slowing down dependant on each result under Johnson. Imagine if we had spoke to a candidate(s) and then fobbed them off for a week after a win. Cant work like that. It shouldnt be a mad panic but it should be and remain until solved a pressing, urgent priority.

Coventry & Real Sociedad.

Think Tuesday's team selection was with this game in mind, maybe the one for Jorgensen.

The knob Ending Dingle, Alexander? He'll get plenty of grace from Rovers fans! 🙈😂

Which were the other 2 apart from Fulham?

I've met him a few times on nights out. QPR his number 1 job Rovers his second.
