Because we are supporters who want to help him do better, not jurors judging him.

So what do you propose ?

After 12 games ? From which we have 18 points.

The late great Jimmy Armfield once said "They don't have a crowd at Blackburn, they have a jury" which was probably unfair on a lot of people but not in your case as you seem determined to talk one of our own players down.

Support the team.

Our second XI stuffed the 2 League 2 teams we met in the League Cup.

I think most fans believe that giving encouragement to young players who have come through the ranks is part and parcel of being a supporter.

2 goals and 3 assists so far this season, still aged 20. That looks harsh.

I disagree. The idea was right and the chance didn't look that difficult. The execution though was very poor.

Whilst I admire Dyche it seems to me to be stretching things quite a bit to describe a man whose last season as a manager ended in relegation as a "winner".

I think with Scholes part of the problem was that he was an asthmatic and the very hot conditions in which tournaments are played worked against him.

We are hardly the only club having to deal with this situation. Our club has resolved it to our benefit - surely a matter for celebration and credit to the likes of Broughton and Waggott for getting this over the line.

No, but being Champions on 6 occasions plus 2 FA Cups might.

Not sure that we can say we have had more success - Sunderland have been Champions of England on 6 occasions, compared to our 3.

It's better than that. 15 points from 9 games extrapolated over a season would mean 75 points from 45 games, with 75 usually enough for the playoffs but a draw or a win from the last game of the season should clinch it.

I assume Adam and Ash are properly advised, in which case neither will be signing a contract of that kind.

Overall with the decision to hold on to BBD we look to be in a pretty good place. In the end it is the owners' money and if they are passing up the £12m or so that is down to them - they seem indifferent to losing money on the club. I don't understand references to relegation; I don't think there is the slightest prospect of that. In fact I think promotion is more likely than relegation. Of the clubs without parachute payments we are currently highest in the table and with a reasonable run with injuries - especially to BBD - have as good a chance as any of getting in to the playoffs; in particular with the age profile of our squad being so young there is every likelihood of some players improving significantly over the course of the season.

Rothwell hasn't kicked a ball all season, sitting on the bench is all that Nyambe is doing at Wigan, and when he is not being sent off Lenihan is "starring" for the team with the second worst defensive record in the division - so I don't think we would have been in a better position.

We are the top team in the Championship of the 19 clubs that do not have parachute payments so I am baffled as to how you think Mowbray, Waggott and Broughton can seriously be thought to have given JDT a hospital pass.

Crikey ! We were in crisis this time yesterday.

Yes, the criticism of the DOF for not giving interviews saying what is going on is ridiculous.

Interesting to note from their posts that some on here know more than JDT about playing in that position.

I think "never" is a bit extreme. Perhaps he might turn out to be that good; he's young enough to have a lot of improvement in him.

Thanks. If so, obviously apologies to the poster I was responding to. Problem is that over the years there have actually been people who have made posts along those lines " worst manager ever" etc so you never quite know.

Nonsense. He left the club in a better place than he found it. Kean did the opposite.
