Agreed…I think we’ve seen JDT can be quite naive, on the pitch especially….Think it’s soemthing which he will look back & think I could have worded that better….We as fans know what he’s getting at….Under Mowbray I had no excitement about transfers as I don’t think he was half bothered….Feel like next could be different…New Manager, new DOF, new head of recruitment…That excites me & that is what’s keeping me just afloat with the slightly awful football we’re witnessing.

Maybe a wrong choice of words from JDT. I’m sure he will listen back and slightly regret…remember English isn’t his first lanaguage. To me that statement means we don’t have the quality, things will take time, stay patient…Surley im not the only one who thinks that…We all want to be at the top level but come on…. We have 3/4 academy players on our bench. It just won’t happen anytime soon. We need to be patient & IF we see no progress next Xmas then I will be the first to be like many (already) wanting him gone.

Turning on a manger when we were in control & then have a game turn due to a red card…Aye…about right for rovers fans. Everyone has the right to be angry & fustrsted of how we are playing…however to turn on a manager when he’s not even had a full summer of transfers is just bonkers…

*Boro game also…

If we see Morton & Travis in the middle then it will be a long afternoon…. Morton is starting to look like a lost school boy. If he thinks he’s going back to Liverpool to fight for a place then he’s got another thing coming. In his current form, I wouldn’t take him back…he needs to perform.

Cardiff haven’t won in 6, lowest goal scores in the league, sit 19th in the league…We know where this is heading. I can see a frustrated 0-0, Or a 1-0 either way. Cardiff will be difficult to break down so not going to be easy. Like most have said, it is a MUST win game. We could fall as low as 9th if we don’t and other around us win. Perhaps more the position we should be in reflecting on how we’ve played. A Wharton is the only person to replace Buckley. If the rumours are true then both player & manager need to grow up and sort out!!!If it’s a Travis & Morton Duo then we are due for a truely awful football match. In a full fit team I wouldn’t have either of them in the middle. Feel as if Markanday should be given a chance to come on especially if we get a few goals. We were unfortunate against Boro & if we put in a similar shift then we shouldn’t have a problem. If the players support the manager then again we shouldn’t have a problem… Come on you Blues!

Sorry for not reading the past few pages but are people confident we will get the red card over turned?

Yeap, I think we will really miss Buckleys vision in these next few games and it could really be the difference in results. Really not looking forward to the return of Travis….Travis couldn’t pick a pass more than 20 years an away to save his life. That’s where 90% of our good play last night came from. Really worried about the Cardiff game, even with their horrific away form.

My ideal middle 2 would be A Wharton & Buckley. Morton bar a few decent passes was quite poor today. He seems out of position a lot also. Travis is & should be out of the picture IMO.

Buckley really has ruined it not only for tonight’s game, but possibly his position in the team. He was just getting going aswell. Now thanks to him we have the pain of the backward pass king (Travis) coming back in. We need A Wharton asap or Maybe Hedges in the middle with Markanday on the left???

On a positive, We utilised the left hand side perfectly tonight. Cardiff won’t have has much quality however maybe a tougher side to crack down.

If we had played poorly in that first half I would be with half the posters & relaying my anger on here like i Normally do. However we saw a reaction in that first half. The red card changed the game and that’s what it really boils down to…Not the manager.

I’d be ashamed of that also sorry. Just my opinion. Pne yes, but tonight?

It just had that feel, even after they scored. They looked dangerous ‘kind of’ but didn’t threat. We looked really good on the counter so it’s just a moment of daftness which has piled the pressure on the manager.

Really?? Well he’s got himself to blame then. Means we’ve got a duo of Travis & Morton on Sunday…kill me now.

Could be a season chnager that. We played well & even with conceding every felt we would of gone and won. Pressure is building and Sunday is a MUST win. Anyone blaming the manager for this loss should re-think. If we had 11 players on the pitch we’d of beat them.

Gutted about that. We played well so not too bogged down. At least Buckley will get his red over turned.

He’s pressed well & has shown some neat touches and passes. Also to note a few dangerous crosses in.

Are you watching the game?

Only thing I’m currently worried about is the XG. Was it @Sweaty Gussetswho posted soemthing at the start of this thread. Truely mental how we sit so low in that particular but sit 3rd In the league.

Exactly!! Im sure he would love to get us as high as possible this season but he’s being real and knows there’s so much more to be done if we want to be a prem team. People need to chill out.

Ahhh man I miss Rothwell so much. Even though he went missing some games, he was a game chnager for sure. We have no one in our team who can change a game. Maybe A Wharton or Diaz but they are both non existent atm.

Got a feeling Travis will be back for this. Purely to help with Boros counter & to freshen things up. He’s been awful this season bar the opening games however we don’t really have anyone else. We all know what’s going to happen tonight, it was like last time we played them at home….everyone has us down to loose, we will play the weaker links, Travis, Szmodics etc and we will win!

Think we will loose this one. Unsure what the starting 11 will be but I’d maybe change it up in the midfield. kaminksi JRC Hyam Ayala pickering Markanday Buckley, A Wharton Dack Gallagher Diaz

Haha! That could be true…time will tell though…I much prefer a smug and enthusiastic interview than a boring dry Mowbray
