John Eustace - our head coach

Is this a 1984 correction of historical reports in order for GB to keep his job in exchange for Swag retaking the throne? It gets worse for every day… -

Reported in the podcast? Can’t listen to it but who is saying that JE is Waggots man? (I suspected but is it now known?) -

Sammi was forced to come deeper and deeper. Ironically i think Gallagher coming back and Moran being dropped has strangled the supply line (of course losing A Wharton hasn’t helped either) But a response on Saturday is needed -
Crap - devoid of a plan a let alone plan b School level defending (chase the ball) and only SS trying to get the team to stop dropping deeper before he himself was forced to come deep to get the ball Total lack of cohesion and sloppy play all round - Eustace has to tear them a new one after that or else our players council will talk about togetherness in league 1 (unless their wages are reduced) I can SS and Dolan leaving in the summer and then we are fcked Felt sorry for Telavovic - could have been the start of a rovers career having done the hard bit of getting in the right places but that miss and the lack of support from his teammates (even Ruddy gave him a “you ok”) is probably the end

Are they sure he didn’t say “we’ve got a few tools in the squad”? 🤔😉 -
Jon Dahl Tomasson - no longer Sweden coach
Roverthechimp replied to Tom's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
You missed a step - the players will be sold with his agreement based on an an understanding that he can reinvest the money to improve the squad… When the “hand grenade” is chucked in with 5 days of the window left then maybe he will run… (unless, like JDT, they demand payment to release him from his contract -

Possibly…. In other words ”no” 🤣 -
Venky’s v Indian Government (a)
Roverthechimp replied to tomphil's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
At a club that closed the ticket office on a match day and tried to force fans to print their tickets and mascots to buy their own shirts…? Sounds about right -
I would say “shoulda’t be” as opposed to “aren’t” as we still have a wage bill that defies logic and seemingly crap negotiators… Anything less than TK is a “reduction in the wage bill” - same goes in regard to replacements for BB and BD. That they may be crap seems to be less relevant to their wage level… I really would like to know who negotiates the numbers - I have a bridge for sale…

Problem now is that if Samir T and Leo W are on 10 grand a week then Dolan, Gally and SS will demand at least 20…

Shadow director is a perfect description -

The main thing for me was that we mixed it up a bit but having Gallagher meant we had a target from goal kicks (going long to SS, Leonard and Moran is a tough sell). Most notable was both Pears and the defenders were also more willing to clear and sacrifice possession when needed. Probably something that our central defenders have been unhappy with previously when seemingly instructed to always prioritize possession no matter what -
If we offering league one level wages then no way he will sign. He has become a very important player and will likely want to be among our top earners - can see him leaving unfortunately.

One of those - I wonder if Pears saves that penalty if JDT is still in charge… Change was needed and if Eustace gets a few favorable bounces then all good. Liked the subs (defensive but fresh legs up front) and Moran/Siggy to just run down the clock -

Needs to forget about the crowd - can do it for U21 team and has the instinct to be in the right place. Hope he can find a way -

No game changers and the only defender is totally untested at this level - says a lot about how bad it has been that this is stronger 🫣 -

What did he say? (Short version) -
John Eustace - our head coach
Roverthechimp replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
“This football club has some fantastic young players, the recruitment has been very good, the coaching has been excellent and it’s my job to try and evolve that and put my own stamp on it, which is something I’m looking forward to doing.” So recruitment and coaching have been very good - has he only seen the academy and u-21s so far… 🤔
