  1. I would honestly take Hanley in a heartbeat.. him and Lenihan could be excellent together
  2. Couldn't agree more... Mowbray reminds me of a slightly more ambitious version of Bowyer... we are happy to remain mediocre and let's be honest the recruitment to date just hasn't been good enough.. failure to adress your absolute pain points is failure end of. He just doesn't have a stretching mentality in my view... That said hes definitely the best manager we have had since Venkys took over and potted Sam.. which again is not the barometer, but the challenge we all have is we know what we could end up with!
  3. Total disgrace that Nyambe is not playing RB.. Bennett has been shocking at best.. Bell cannot defend... Tony this is unacceptable need to sort!! Johnson has been class and Downing was good too I thought
  4. An opportunity always look bigger going away from you than when it is coming towards you... That's the sentiment on here in my view...
  5. One of the few people offering actual substance on this site and people still can't help themselves... Cheers BRovers! ?
  6. We bottled it again... what is it with the mindset of our players!!
  7. Perhaps we should go for both Jagielka and Baines... would be a real signal of intent would fix 2 of our biggest issues.. then we just need a reliable keeper and another striker in my view..
  8. I think every second kit should always be a 'halves' whatever those colours are outside of claret and blue obviously!
  9. I think a year on loan to a league 1 team may help? He needs game time.. but let's be honest at his current level we not gonna give him game time are we.
  10. Running out of patience with Tony... he clearly has favourites which will inevitably alienate others! Personally think he goes for easy targets... Conway should be nowhere near the first team.. Bennett is also finished the sooner Tony realises that the better.. but he wont..
  11. My team for the remainder of the season would be.. Raya Nyambe Lenihan Magloire Bell (or anyone in the u23s) Chapman Travis Reed Rothwell Graham Armstrong (playing off the shoulder of Graham) Current state of play is embarrassing and we need a fundamental change.. play players in their proper positions Tony..
  12. Alex Neil all day long for me.. he did wonders with a failing Norwich side when he first went there and is doing same again at Preston with a average group of players. Plays pressing football that is great on the eye too!
  13. Mowbray still talking about competition for existing players... herein lies the fundamental issue.. we need players to go to the next level not to compete with existing! My view is.. we need.. 1 x first team GK 2 x CB supported by Wharton and existing as reserves 1 x competing RB 1 x new LB 1 x CM 1 x Additional winger to support Chapman and Rothwell. 1 x class Striker We need to move on the following: Lutweiller Rodwell / William's / Hart Smallwood/ Gladwin/ Conway/ Bennett Maybe Samuel but I'm unsure there is something about him I like
  14. As much as I am seriously worried about.. a) Our results b) Tony's over loyalty for some players and unfairness on others - Rothwell - today's criticism is criminal c) the fact we dont have a decent scouting network - nothing in Europe - again absolutely criminal I would give him till next season and see how he is progressing as we approach the Jan 20 transfer window.. if he chops the guys who are clearly not up to this league and brings in some quality.. we have some decent youngsters.. we could be play off or above material
  15. Got to agree with this... I do think the self entitlement mentality of fans where they can say what they like just because they have paid their £20 is very unhealthy.. Wouldn't be allowed in any other walk of life.. I mean are people really that unhappy??
  16. Although I'm as miffed as everyone the minimum expectation this season was to keep us up.. and it's likely that he's done that.. I personally believe he should be given the summer to bring in some more players to with a revised minimum target of mid table for next season and the season after that the next step up.. we all know it takes a few windows to build the team to what is required. We clearly need at least 2 x CB's 2 x LB's and 1 x RB to ensure we have a squad that's capable. We will also need reinforcements up front including for Dack as he will inevitably be leaving. There have been times where we have played good football and I do think his mantra of 6 x Defensive players with 3 x attackers (ideally with 2 x speedsters) and strong man up front could be a winning formula for us in this division but right now it's all going wrong as he has been over loyal to league 1 / relegation championship players on the whole!
  17. The only silver lining right now is this should make everyone realise we need an overhaul in the summer!
  18. I haven't seen anything that means he should be out of favour.. tbh he's been really good when he's played.. Bennett has had his day.. we need to be progressing and Tony needs to be slightly more ruthless in my view
  19. Absolute disgrace this lad didn't come on after his performance last week... the ineffective Conway.. again
