I will be surprised if he plays 30 Championship games.

In his career

I shouldn't ever say never, but 99.99% of the time it does not happen

Players respect their own reputation too. Throwing games is a sin. I have seen dressing room bust ups because other plays have called out someone for not putting in 100% - literal fist fighting. "Not playing for the manager" is imo a lazy statement

Didn’t go to cardiff and watch that twat Duffy then ?

How is gilsenen on the bench ?

All the focus should be on JDT?

JDTs biggest mistake of the Season, Whaldsted in goal. Watching him it's like a schoolboy between the sticks the size of him. If we don't get a result against Huddersfield next Saturday, it could be his downfall when the boos ring out and the chant turns to jdt out !!.

Pears is injured . Who is he supposed to pick. He tried Hilton in the cup and he was as shit as the other two

Trying to maintain a little bit of optimism:

Rovers are 10 pts above drop zone. And, we are getting guys back. Those three clubs in the bottom are pure rubbish. 

We will be safe, but the conversation wasn't supposed to be, "can we secure safety", but, "can we make playoffs" 

Your optimism lasted three sentences 😂

Is that him, Ben benson or the actual bloody coach.

That lad needs withdrawing and putting in the U21s for the rest of the season whilst we get in a back up or first choice keeper.

That is an absolute priority,

Something something something pathways something Indian court something

Might be an odd suggestion but I've heard Duffer is turning into a decent Manager over there in Ireland.  I'd offer him and Johnno it till end of season....can't think of anyone else

I wouldn’t want him to ruin a promising career 

Shit defending again.

Good save Leo 💪

Never mind that

Good save Leo 💪

That was an incredible finish. Remember when we’re counting assists for Moran and anyone else that will count as one. The eye test will always beat stats

JDT has imploded as Rovers head coach at this point. We all know that he has been dealt a really bad hand with recruitment, and injuries haven't helped, but at this point we just seem to be playing kamikaze football without a goalkeeper.

I'm afraid this is only going to get worse. Many will point to the fact that Rovers have one of the lowest wage budgets, lowest transfer budgets and most inexperienced squads.....and they're right to do so. BUT these tactics are not helping.

We all know that this starts and ends with the owners, but right now its about staying in the league. JDT doesn't appear to be the man to do it.

What you are all missing the point of is he’s been instructed to get these kids to learn to play this way. That is his only remit and the next guy will do the same and I’m guessing worse

He will have a successful career no doubt but His methods aren't working for us. Seems too stubborn to change his ideas. How long should he get

It doesn’t matter because it can’t change until the manager gets the tools to do his job wether it’s JDT, klopp, coyle or anyone else you want to name

Anyone calling for the manager out be careful because soon the pro Tomasson crew will appear and absolve him of all blame. Normally happens after full time.

Injuries, owners, the weather, conspiracy, referees, whatever the case we are lucky to have him apparently. He is fat too naive even getting dealt a poor hand you really want more and a smarter approach. Shit owners and a limited/naive manager aren't mutually exclusive. You can have both.

He had kaminski sold and given Leo. Every game he’s let a goal in at least , 2 today. How can he be blamed for that. He didn’t sell kaminski and didn’t sign Leo . Have you seen the depleted shit he’s been left with. No one and I mean no one could get a this team above mid table. The blame is everywhere but JDT. He’s in the media everyday saying what we’re saying everyday . He has said what will happen without bringing bodies in , he’s begged for experience. Seriously what more can he do. Take Leonard off and put pat gamble in the defence . He’s got literally nothing to work with

I was right Moran is playing centrally,

He’s anonymous like he is most weeks while Phil Foden is scoring and winning his fourth trophy of the year at the top of the game and in finals with england

Keeper and Hyam have destroyed us in half an hour

Sometimes it's like watching somebody who won a competition to be out there. 

I was hoping it was nerves, teething issues, settling in problems and being unfamiliar with his team mates . I’ve seen starts like this we’re it takes time for players to adapt and they end up being world beaters but like bigbar said its not just the amount of errors which is easily one a game that’s costly it’s the variety of them. I’m genuinely worried now that he just isn’t good enough for any league in the top four divisions . I’d love to see the scouting report on this lad. 

Just seen a proper replay. I can’t defend this keeper anymore 🤦‍♂️

Never fear . Morans going to bang a hat trick any minute

Started really well then let in another piss poor soft goal

Wouldn't be surprised if he's off somewhere completing a medical.

The good news is is that JDT appears to playing Moran in a central position . the no 10. I expect we will see a good game from him.

 

And if he doesn’t will you accept he’s less Phil Foden and more Phil linagap
