If he's had a say in building this squad yes, to a degree. Anyone with a braincell saw Wharton and Carter getting injured for long periods and we should have already had cover.

As for the hamstring injuries, a combination of our neglected facilities and nonexistent squad rotation absolutely have contributed. This is at least in part because the squad they've built isn't trusted because it isn't good enough.

Ismael has clearly had a massive say in building this squad with Gestede, Owen and the scouts. 

That was dumb move with Carter. Extra centre defender should have be signed before allowing Hyam to move on. 

is our training ground facilities been neglected? 

You could have said say the same last season or previous seasons when the head coach wouldn't have rotation the squad as much as the should especially in cup games

If Ismael has had such a big say in building this shitty squad then that says a lot about him.

He was behind signings like Morishita and Baradji. He has publicly said why we signed them. 

some signings don't work out as you even said like De Neve or Tavares

But overall, the squad is not fit for purpose. If hes played a big part in that then it reflects badly on him. Simple concept.

Absolutely do not want Mowbray back. He'll be as bad as the others. Slow build play down promotion.  We want a jdt. Someone who will get us near or in the playoffs and hope by some miracle he gets us promoted despite the club wanting the opposite.

Nothing more to add to my points already made. We need 3 or 4 signings this window and 3 or 4 out of the squad like Gueye, Ribeiro, De Neve and Carter.

Not just 3 or 4 signings Chaddy.

We need 3 or 4 signings who are competent and robust enough to compete at Championship level.

Its not going to happen.

[roversfan99]

And we need more than 3 or 4.

[Wheelton Blue]

As much as new signings, we need a new manager.

Every game he's in charge of, is a game closer to relegation.

Fucking hell give me another Mowbray any day of the week

One of the best things to happen to this club under Venkys. He cared and he took on roles that modern coaches like JDT wouldnt

Unfortunately I suspect Mowbray’s health has meant he will not be able to do what he did here again. Let’s remember him fondly though - he left this club in a far better state than he found it and was one of the core reasons both JDT and Eustace could have a proper go at it

He cared more about his retirement fund

Shocking take roverandout, sorry to say

Look at what Mowbray inherited and look what he left. That first JDT year was Mowbrays squad. I had always hoped Mowbray wanted to move upstairs with us. We’d be in a better state if he was still involved
