Unless sending him out allows us to bring in someone better, letting him go would be barmy.

Happy clapper, bury your head nonsense, probably written by someone who has been seduced by Waggott and his pals offer of biscuits and cups of tea.

Even more weird is the expense of taking it to a legal appeal when we didn't seem to have a leg to stand on, nor a pot to piss in.

It also removes the safety net of "all the debt is to the owners so there is nothing to worry about". It makes the sale of a club less likely without administration as there now becomes debts which have to be repaid and can't be wiped off.

I'm OK for me. It suits me. Plus its modern football. That's the way things are nowadays with TV. You know this as every time moving games doesn't affect you, you bleat on about it being the way of modern football.

Let's not forget the reason this is happening is because the owners have been fraudulently declaring money to be invested in the club which was being used for other non-Rovers related purposes. This has now given us huge cash flow problems. So the credit you are giving them can be snatched quite quickly.

Only way we would get near that at the moment is if there were 3 or 4 clubs who wanted him and it developed into a bidding war.

But we’ve conceded 53% more goals this year than last year, and it’s practically the same defence. Yes our keeper is absolute shite, but we are far, far more porous than last year. In my view it’s partly because the midfield is weaker defensively .

I had moved on but I mentioned it replying to you, who brought it up 5 hours ago. It has been explained to you several times why it was partly GBs fault but time after time you won't/can't accept it.

Or the fact it was a giant Steve Waggot head on Steve Keans body.

In your opinion, which has no foundation and contradicts GB himself taking responsibility.

Which in our current formation we can’t do, as in that role you need to press hard (hence why no Dack) and Szmodics has made it his own.

No, Wharton is often deep collecting from the defence and turning. When the opposition break at us it is Wharton who is often the midfielder in position to break up or stop that attack and because he isn’t very good at it, it causes massive issues, as seen clearly yesterday at the Hawthorns. We’d be far more solid defensively if we started with Garrett / Tronstadt instead of Wharton / Tronstadt, but then what do you do with your most valuable asset? The formation and style of play with Wharton playing where he is contributes to us being defensively weak. We either need to play slightly differently, or drop AW.

Partly Broughton’s as certain aspects of the contract / process were not understood causing an unnecessary delay from 10pm to 11pm. You just don’t accept this.

Maybe stop leaving us exposed with Adam Wharton as a deep midfielder then. If you’re shipping goals at an alarming rate maybe try setting up slightly differently. But that would mean invoking a plan B.

Come on Phillip. Look how full the JW lower is on that picture. It’s obviously fake.

Yeah but with Garrett in the Szmodics role and with Wharton plodding around as a defensive midfielder. None of the highlights show the chance towards the end of the first half when they race through the middle with Adam Wharton completely unattentive to the danger and then jogging back to try and get back and cover. It was a shocking piece of play for someone in the holding midfielder role. I'm not digging him out and making him a scapegoat as he's the best footballer we've got. But the way we play and the position he plays gives us a massive problem defensively.

One problem (and it is only one of many) is a defensive unit made up of Brittain, Hill, Hyam, Carter, S Wharton, Pickering with Tronstadt and A.Wharton doesnt look that bad on paper. Some will disagree but, with the possible exception of Adam Whartons defensive ability, there are far worse groups of players in those positions in this league So why we have conceded the most goals in the league? Clearly some of it has to be down to defensive coaching and the way set up. JDT cant control the budget but he can control that, and he is failing. Next game if we are to set up exactly the same, I'd drop Adam Wharton for Garrett.

Wharton is an issue. Supremely talented, but how we play him leaves us wide open. He’s terrible off the ball and teams can just run through us. He needs to be further forward, but that means disrupting Sammy and he won’t be able to press as JDT demands from his players who are further forward.

Spineless. But let’s loan out your non-playing captain and bring in some kids 👍👍

No. The owners can’t give at the moment because they’ve been bullshitting to the Indian Authorities where their money has been going.

So despite starting 2023 well, we are clearly in the bottom half of the table for teams who have played 46 games. Great stuff.

You simply can’t move Szmodics. I’d drop Wharton.
