i can guarantee everyone now that these two won`t be sitting down yawning and gurning😆

after he stated possesion football is great but not for the sake of it,i thought thank **** for that

i am more upset about rothwell and possibly nyambe leaving,not to bothered about lenihan,he`s bog standard stopper,easily replaceable,if ayala could stay fit it would be problem solved,he`s a class above lenihan,reads the game extremely well

i know for a fact that lowe is ridiculed and disliked by the players benson does seem to be respected,though having a goalkeeping coach who has never even played the game is a no no for me johnson was once thought of as a future asst manager or even a candidate for the top job,he was seemingly sidelined by mowbray,maybe the prehistoric one was feeling threatened by a younger,progressive coach or maybe dj saw himself as a coach to the younger players and moved away from the first team

i give lowe and benson a week before jdt ***** them off,imo a complete clear out of mowbrays dross needs to happen

frankly if i had that amount of attacking talent as a manager,id`e just go and tell them to play football,don`t worry about the defending,we`ll score more than them,we can`t defend anyway,mcguire and stones are exposed at the highest level

southgate is going to get absolutely pillored by the press for this,don`t particularly care for his management(he`s a gold plated mowbray imo) but he seems a decent bloke,does`nt deserve whats coming to him tommorow morning though

tired players who have been forced to extend their season for a pointless competition that nobody wants,no wonder it`s a **** game

surely it`s up to jdt to tell broughton about any players he wants,then it`s up to him to bring them in,disfunctional in the extreme for broughton to start buying players without consulting the manager🤔

yes,getting mine this weekend,first season ticket since i threw the last one on the pitch at the wigan relegation game🙂,im`e genuinely optimistic about this season,mind you,i think it`s mostly because mowbray has gone,as a supporter he dragged me down mood wise,it must have been worse for the players,imagine turning up for work only to be greeted by his depressing tones

if jdt can get him to play his size he certainly can be a handfull,the second half of the derby game at home he was giving their defence a monstering,it`s what you expected of a 6"4 centre forward,sadly we hav`nt seen it enough

potter is`nt daft enough to let van hecke go anywhere,he`s pretty clued up and iv`e no doubt van hecke will be in their first team very soon

welcome to ewood park mr tommason,for the first time in years,im`e genuinely looking forward to the start of the season,hopefully nyambe signs on and jdt has some serious contacts in scandanavia and holland,sure he`ll have a decent budget as well on the issue of kompany,he made a mess of the anderlecht job,the biggest club in belgium by far and barely made 3rd place,he`s going to fail at turd morgue,especially when they barely have a squad and no money

i wouldn`t worry to much about losing lenihan,he`s a two bob stopper with a bad disciplinary record i`ll admit losing rothwell and possibly nyambe is a blow,i think both of them will flourish under a manager who plays them to their strengths

im`e going to get mine on friday,feel really positive about this new season,probably because mowbray is`nt here

i wonder if jdt will have the same cultish appeal that mowbray had,the happy clappers adored him,he could do no wrong,will the danish guardiola get the same appreciation

we all had a bad feeling about last season tbh😁

come on fellow roverites,lets get positive and give jdt our support,time for fatalism is if we are in the bottom 3 by november

on the positive side,jdt will no doubt have some contacts in scandanavia and holland,more important for me is the fact he can`t possibly be as moribund as mowbray on the tactics side,iv`e always found former attacking players make better managers

i was never one his biggest fans,jumped into tackles to much because his reading of the game is poor,look how easy van hecke and ayala make the game seem,because they can read the game very well

there is`nt any money in swedish football,compared to malmo rovers are absolutely minted,all the clubs in sweden have to rely on players coming through the system,jdt should be used to having to work with that

providing venkys don`t offer him a pittance,welcome to ewood park mr tommason

one of the best things about sam`s reign was the big clubs hated coming to ewood,wenger in particular detested us with unbridled hatred,remember the game when sam put samba up front and every free kick the arsenal defence was at panic stations😄

it would uninspiring yes,hardly an appointment to make you hurry down the roverstore for a season ticket i admit,however it`s still an improvement on moggadon

i would`nt want him anywhere near the club,he could`nt do it at bournemouth,who throw money around like confetti
