If that is Wharton's attitude then perhaps he should look at himself, rather than blaming someone who achieved far more in his career than Wharton would if he played for 50 years. Let's not forget last season that manager took us to our highest league position since 2012. Also Wharton hardly banged the door down to get a start last season he was more a hindrance than a help whenever he did play.
It's clear that JDT was a shock to the players this wasn't a bloke who spent most of his career in the 2nd division with Middlesbrough. This is a man who has played at the highest level of international and club football, who played for one of the greatest managers of all time at one of the world's biggest clubs. He had very high standards and it seems like that was too much for a number of our feeble minded squad.
Also it's all very well blaming the manager for the squad's short comings but they still haven't won a match under the new manager. Some them would be better of looking in the mirror if they want someone to blame. I've seen some poor teams during my time following Rovers but this is one of the softest, most entitled and most unlikeable that I have seen.

Cant believe with all the shit the scumbag raos, waggot and sunhail do to this club people still blame and pick on easy targets like of eustace, jdt and Broughton! Professionals that are just doing the best they can under the shit show circus where the clubs plans change with the wind
If you think I don't criticise The owners or CEO then you are very much mistaken. None of those are signing the players though, we are in a relegation fight and had a paltry budget in January I just think that if Broughton was going to spend money on a player it would have been useful to spend it on someone who can play a big part in that fight against relegation.
Broughton is a symptom of the owners and like many of those employed before him (and the current CEO) is a chancer who is massively out of his depth.

Another damning indictment of Broughton. We are in a relegation battle and our only cash buy in January needs protecting.

No he isn't but he took a team that was lacking confidence he has stopped the losses, We have come from behind twice at home which we never did under JDT in the league. Also he has had very limited amount time on the training field to get his ideas over the players. The next 3 weeks we have one game game against Boro before Good Friday home game to Ipsiwch. I would expect lot of work on the training field to be done this week and during the international break
All this bollocks about time on the training field as though he has some wonderful style of football that is difficult for players to adapt to. The football is about as basic as you can get, as I said the other day Eustace is a pound shop Tony Pulis.

When comparing to Kean, I hope that’s only to performances on the pitch, I really do.
Eustace does appear to use White Hart Lane in 2012 as a blueprint to set his team up. 29% possession at home to Plymouth is utterly embarrassing.
-
He strikes me as another Appleton. He has come into a struggling team and is totally out of his depth as to how to turn it around. I was sceptical about the appointment when it was made and I have seen nothing to win me over yet, everything about him seems uninspiring.

It wasn't just the Wigan game whenever he played in his first two seasons he looked dreadful and the Wigan game was just the final straw. But he improved massively last season and continued to go from strength to strength ever since. He is now without a doubt our undisputed number 1.
-
Hard to believe that was the same group of players that played at Birmingham and Cardiff on the previous two Tuesdays. Pears' growth continues he really is completely unrecognisable from the goalie who played when we went out at Wigan 2 years ago, Markanday finally looked like the tricky pacey player I hoped we had signed 2 years ago. Also first look at the Liverpool lad and he looks like he's got all the attributes to be a good defender.
The players set a standard tonight that needs to be the standard for the rest of the season starting with Swansea on Saturday, it's no good playing like that tonight against Newcastle and then losing at Swansea and potential being 1 point of the drop.

That Burnley keeper is terrible and yet they keep picking him. Can only assume it because of the crazy sum of money they paid for him.

Thought Gent played well and no sooner had he gone off Celtic scored two goals from down his side.

Sheffield United and Burnley have to be two of the very worst teams in Premier League history.

Wahlstedt and Telalovic were work in progress signings.
Is that your way of saying they are terrible?

That was terrible, reminiscent of the dross served up during Covid season. 1-0 flattered us we made them look like world beaters.
The mentality of this group of player really is shocking, you'd have thought after Saturday and this being the managers first game they would have been up for it but from kick of it was laboured. Even after going behind there was no urgency and until the last second we never even came close to scoring. Add into that what people have said was said in the 'fan meeting' about the players no liking being booed off at half time then you have to worry if this squad has the mental toughness for a relegation battle.
Talking of player mentality Callum Brittain (😆) gives it the big one after one good performance and then backs it up with that. I couldn't help but smile at his 'defending' for the goal.
I don't think Eustace is a great appointment (far from it in fact) he has just been appointed because he is cheap and to be a yes man for those above him. But I'll give him the same defence that I gave JDT and that is that this is a poor squad he has available to him it is where it belongs in the table and to be honest it would not look out of place in the drop zone.
Gregg Broughton has a lot to answer for we are so weak in midfield, Garrett is not a Championship quality midfielder, Fleck is obviously no way near being fit enough and Ayari is now seemingly on his third manager this season that doesn't fancy him. Then you look at the attacking options on the bench to bring on when we need a goal you have Sigurdsson, Moran (who has been awful for a few months now), Markanday (it's a damning indictment he still makes the bench and Telaovic who looks every bit a German 4th division striker.

You can't say it wasn't coming. Shocking defending from Brittain

A warm welcome and best of luck to John Eustace. If he can keep us up this season and the club hopefully have a reset in the summer the future might be a bit brighter.
If you mean by reset, cash in on a few more players and replace them with a few free transfers and kids on loan.

Owen Coyle, he appointed Sandy Stewart, John Henry and Phil Hughes as his coaching staff.
Stewart and Henry weren't on Coyle's team when he was initial appointed they only came to the club after Irvine and Kelly left.
-
Surprised that he isn't taking charge tomorrow. You'd have thought that he would be chomping at the bit to get going

Lambert?
I forgot him but yeah it would be him. Always found it strange that we went for Coyle over Warnock in part because he would work with Irvine and Kelly and within a few months they were both gone anyway.

Who was our last Manager allowed to bring in his own coaching staff from the start? I suppose you could count Bowyer but McPhillips and Grant were already employed by the club anyway. I can't even remember what Appleton's coaching staff was other than Darren Moore. It always seems to be a case of you can bring one coach with you and that is your lot.
-
Out of work, cheap and uninspiring a classic Venky's appointment. But lets be honest no manager with any sort of reputation is going to go near us after the events of the past year so, to take this job you'd have to be desperate.

I'd rather he looked himself in the mirror instead of blaming someone else for his own failures. Wharton's attitude is typical of the modern footballer.
