Looks a better player than Chrisene (not that hard), so probably ok as a squad player next season

Gent as in Gentleman is how I have heard it pronounced (just depends on if those people are right I suppose)

According to BBC (who are quite often wrong about these things) Vale will be playing as one of twin number 10s, and Motherwell playing much the same formation that Rovers currently do. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/football/68361368 Motherwell fans do seem to like Vale (and Gent), they view Vale as a pacey and hard working forward who presses well. Will be interesting to see how they both get on against one of the 2 decent teams North of the border

I'm a bit of an optimist, but not enough of one to bring myself to post in the optimism thread 😉

Swansea away next, followed by Millwall and Plymouth at home, all who are in and around us in the table and in no better form than we are, followed by Middlesbrough away, also in terrible form https://www.footballwebpages.co.uk/championship/form-guide Genuinely think those next 4 league games could see us safe I am a bit of an optimist 😉

Shame that he isn't warming the bench at the Dingledome,,, then he might get a splinter 😉

We have done well against Norwich in recent times when we have pressed from the front, and we certainly have the front three to do that, so long as the midfield do not get overrun

Normally not very accurate, no way on earth Dolan is only on £500/week (maybe he was when he first signed, but he signed a new contract 6 months after that once he had broken into the first team) The club have an annual wage bill in excess of £20M/season as per their latest accounts, the figures on those sort of sites seem massively under what they would be in reality

Probably Gally, possibly Szmodics, both will be on somewhere between £15K and £20K/week Norwich in their last season of parachute payments, so can offer much higher wages

Based on him getting 4 at Norwich, who are having a much better season than we are, I would guess at him, getting somewhere between 0 and 4 goals, which would seem like less than we would want for someone being paid somewhere between £20K-£30K/week https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ashley-barnes/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/63200/wettbewerb/GB2/saison/2023

You did, 24 hour recall option

Relates to this

Eustace had the same 2 assistants at Birmingham too, same set up here I guess

JDT brought 2 with him Remy as his assistant, and Ben Rosen as a fitness coach (Rosen is off t the end of this month, presumably to wherever JDT ends up)

I am not arguing that point, please see the final paragraph on my previous post that you replied to

Maybe points rather than point, but here you go - Just because someone plays wide, does not mean that they are (or have to be) a winger - Wingers are used fairly seldom in todays game (although these things are cyclical, and I am sure that they will come back in vouge, but the current trend is to try to dominate centrally almost at the expense of wide areas) - Most players who we would probably see as having the skillset of a natural winger are these days used elsewhere on the field (ie full back/wing back) Before anyone says that we should or shouldn't be playing wingers, I am not making the argument about what Rovers (or any other team) should or should not be doing, just describing what they are currently doing

I think you have missed my point

Hilton gone on loan to Macclesfield for the rest of the season (Where Robbie Savage is their Director of Football) https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2024/february/23/joe-joins-macclesfield-on-loan/ Strangely they will be going head to head with Hyde (who have Eastham in goal for them for the rest of the season) for a play off spot/promotion, and Marine who had yet another of our keepers on loan earlier in the season (Goddard) before he was injured (Saadi also had a spell at Marine earlier this season) https://www.thenpl.co.uk/match-info/tables Former Rover Willem Tomlinson also in the promotion race there, he is currently at runaway leaders Radcliffe

I genuinely thought that was a wind up, massive loss to QPR, but if accusations are true, then what a scumbag to do something like that Edit - According to this he has been sentenced but not locked up, is still in the UK, appealing the verdict, and available to play for QPR apparently https://talksport.com/football/1761378/qpr-ilias-chair-prison-assault-truck-driver/

https://www.watfordobserver.co.uk/sport/24107501.good-profit-plus-debt-reduced-watford-face-tricky-times/#:~:text=Looking ahead%2C though%2C Watford will,to become more self-sufficient. "Looking ahead, though, Watford will need to generate more money as there will be no Premier League parachute payment for the 24/25 season so, unless they were to be promoted, they would have to become more self-sufficient." The same would apply to Norwich as they were (like Watford) promoted to the Prem for only one season

Think you are right. Achieve safety by any means possible, then have a look what he can do with the playing style in the summer, The stories of how he had his Kidderminster team playing (albeit in non league), and also his 2nd season with Birmingham they became a little more expansive, seem to indicate he likes to build upon solid foundations. U21s and U18s teams not changes much in terms of the style they have played, however, they have switched to 3 at the back in recent weeks

Would imagine this will be the start of the shopping list https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/league-one/endendevertraege/wettbewerb/GB3 (League 1 players out of contract in the summer) With the hope that may never materialise of moving up to some of these (not the ones from Leicester, Southampton etc, don't get too excited) https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/championship/endendevertraege/wettbewerb/GB2 (Champiosnhip players out of contract in the summer) Add one or 2 Scandinavian freebees before a mad dash for Prem youngsters on loan in the last week of the window Edit - I feel quite depressed that I would consider a summer raid on Barnsley for Kane, Williams and Cole on free transfers to be a relative success

Just imagine the "quality" of the French lad on loan from Liverpool. He cant even get off our bench, and Chrisene was preferred over him at CB (which is apparently Koumetio's natural position)
