He's beyond clueless that fella.

Before the last two games against Leeds and Ipswich, Sheff Weds had won four in a row (or five out of six, with the one game they didn't win being against Leicester). Am I missing something with them? One point off safety. I'd definitely have them more likely to survive than a few others.

He's a Dane managing Sweden. When Sweden announced the appointment there were loads of comments saying they can't believe they've appointed a Dane etc. Pressure will be on him. Hardly Mowbray's five years at Rovers levels of cosiness, is it?

I wondered the same when I saw a list of our highest attendances post-relegation. The Liverpool QF replay in 2015 and Oxford game in 2018 were both 'sold out' I'm quite sure, yet the attendances were about 28,400 for Liverpool and 27,600 for Oxford.

Newcastle have been knocked out of the FA Cup by League One teams in the previous two seasons - you just never know. Come on Rovers.

Good luck JDT.

I can think of two from Scott Wharton alone in the space of about two weeks - Stoke away and Bristol City at home - off the top of my head. So Jackson's wrong there, not for the first time. Granted there probably aren't too many others. But I'd be double checking everything if I were him before going to print. Otherwise it suddenly becomes the truth for people who only read the LT....."we never scored off set-pieces under JDT".

'Out for a while' he said on Instagram.

Great read. And the links to articles from the time are an excellent feature too. Those Sherwood quotes while Hodgson was still in charge, crikey..... Always find it interesting to look back on managers we were linked with at different points. Joe Royle, Bruce Rioch and Bobby Robson once Sven had decided not to come. Harry Redknapp and Colin Hendry (!) after Roy left.

Spot on. Something else I found interesting is that the only Rovers players to like JDT's Instagram post about leaving Rovers (in which he did thank the players) were Leonard, Gallagher and Szmodics. Though Szmodics is the only Rovers player that follows him (and the only player JDT follows) so most may not have seen it....still though.

We’ll go with 11 in 30 🙂

It's 10 wins in 29 this season alone!

We lost 5 out of 21 league games from Jan onwards in the second half of last season. We were a better team in the second half of last season than the first half, playing much better football and losing a lot less, even if we didn't win as many.

Robbie Fowler being under any kind of consideration is hilarious.

Stinks of more like Alex Neil or Garry Monk I'd say. At best....

"What's JDT moaning about now?" screamed the know-nowts on social media on Friday, "he's been given everything he asked for". Great shout lads 👏

Those of us with more than one brain cell are all on your side JDT, whatever happens.

18 (!) years ago today.

Probably for the best.

I think I've seen you (sorry if not!) mention his poor form a few times now - and I'm just not seeing it. He's playing well, he's so much better than everybody else that he plays at least 'well' pretty much every game, in the sense that he does a few things that nobody else could. And if any scouts were at the Watford home game just before Christmas they'd have been banging the door down as soon as the final whistle went. He was streets ahead of everybody else on the pitch.

You know we're about to play a nothing lower league club when they can't stop banging on about attendances - always the sign of a club that's had nothing else to shout about over the years. Plenty of them even in the Championship too. They've won four away games in the league all season. Comfortable Rovers win.

I'd say it's more that as recently as a month ago (the Bristol City home win made it 7 wins in 11) there couldn't have been any argument that he was getting excellent results and therefore the most out of an underfunded, injury hit squad with enormous question marks about key positions at both ends of the pitch. Given the amount of games we've had since and how bad we've been in almost all of them, yeah, things can change quickly and he needs to fix it - but results across the whole of his tenure were very good until a month ago, nothing to do with his media skills.

Bizarre that - it was a nightmare of a day and a dreadful performance but if we’d have won we’d have been top halfway through the season. That’s how good results had been.
