4–1 last game? I wouldn’t like to bet against the same score line without the 1.

From what I’ve seen tonight Eustace has a lot to work on and nothing to work with. I’ve also seen enough to see that this squad isn’t capable of playing to the “get it up front quicker” - “more direct football “ game that so many fans seem to want.

Could have been 5 or 6 if we’re honest

I would say the basics are passing the ball, retaining possession, creating chances and denying chances.

Wish we had a team that could do the basics - like passing the ball.

Just pisses me off that Venkys couldn’t wait to sell him.

All the best teams in England and probably the world, play that way Tyrone.

Impossible to judge that. Any new manager can get a new manager bounce that might last only a short time. Comparing the two managers over a longer time will also be impossible because you have to take into account many other factors in that case.

Yep. He undoubtedly had rovers playing the best football since our Premier League days. The best league position since the PL days. He had players sold from beneath him and suffered a load of injuries to key players. The squad he had at his disposal the last few months just wasn’t equipped to win enough games. He’d been telling the fans and the club that he needed a striker for a long time. He’d been telling them he needed experience and numbers for quite a while. The club failed him IMO. When they were asked for support they were too incompetent to provide it. and the owners and management do what exactly? What responsibility have they accepted? Answer…. None.

Someone appointed with the task of getting us out of this league in any way he could.

Another “head coach” appointed with rovers including this in their news article.. “Guiding the Blues to their highest points total since 2016 in his first season in charge, whilst developing a raft of exciting young players,” It sounds to me that we carry on as we were. Nothing will change. I didn’t read anything at all impressive in that rovers intro to Eustace, but like everyone else I wish him luck.

They’ve just heard big Sam wants it?

Eustace has been appointed club secretary while Silvester has been moved to first team coach.

😂😂😂 Well that’s thrown a few😀

IMO, the basic, basic problem we’ve had under these owners is that there’s never been any pressure on anyone to get results on the park. I doubt very much that JDT would have been sacked if we’d got relegated this season. Seems to me managers generally only get the push when they speak out, when they speak about the lack of backing or about the club failings. When have we heard anyone in the club apart from a manager say results aren’t good enough? When do you ever hear any comments about results? We don’t get any of that because as long as we develop youngsters and sell them, that keeps everyone happy. That was the plan since day one of Venkys ownership and is still their only goal. I assume they hope results follow but who knows? Is Waggott under pressure from Venkys to improve results? I don’t think so. The whole ethos at the club is wrong. Venkys whole reason for being here is wrong. The club is not geared for any success. That won’t change and that’s why Venkys need to look for a buyer in my opinion.

Knowing the shit we’re in, knowing that he’s available and knowing Venkys won’t ever go for him doesn’t help my current frame of mind regarding rovers at all.

Dont get that in the LT

Exactly. however, we will probably continue with a DOF providing the players and employing a coach rather than a manager. For me…… give me a manager with vast experience of the championship and let him pick his own players to play in his style. That though, doesn’t fit in with a club still fixed on primarily developing young players and selling them as quickly as possible. That’s a flawed model.

A bit of advice to any prospective new manager….. If you’re unlucky enough to get an interview don’t for one second suggest that you’re ambitious. Anything more than aiming for grinding to 21st place will be frowned upon. Oh and don’t even mention money.

Getting a different manager is going to do what exactly? How can anyone get excited about this situation?

I feel sorry for the players who attended that meeting. What a position to put them in. Amateurish from the club. I’ll say it again, JDT isn’t the problem. It’s bleedin’ obvious where the blame lies for the current problems. It lies right at the top of the tree.

I wish we had as many centre forwards.

The answers to this current fiasco don’t currently lie with sackings in the U.K. The answers lie with Venkys and the courts in India. The future of our club lies in India. If this situation is going to go on for any length at all - even another 12 months - Venkys need to act. Seems to me there’s very little time. one more… Why would Maguire or his club even think of discussing a pre-contract deal for Maguire in the summer (as has been reported) with a club that currently can’t pay a fee?

The difference is that the LT is just a comments section. Fans make their comments and aren’t really held to task. Next day the topic has moved on. This is a forum, it’s a place for debate. Discussions on any single topic can literally go on over years - and if you say something others don’t agree with then you’ll very likely be pulled up every time. Its not the people who are different, it’s the media format that’s different.
