Can't really see Tomasson leaving, but if he did, I'd certainly be asking Solskjaer if he fancied a bash. You don't know the answer unless you ask the question. Quality manager, top bloke.

I ticked the bottom box, I realise some people have other priorities, but for me it's the best value purchase of the year. The poll is a good idea, it's easy to read a lot of comments from a small number of posters and see their comments as the common concensus. There are also a lot of overseas fans who can't go, I'm assuming they will have to pass on this one.

You could be right there You could be right there, if Carrick can avoid the second season slump.

Robbins has done a brilliant job at a club whose fans have been put through the wringer for year after year. I wouldn't mind if Sunderland do it,I think Mowbray did a decent job and left a perfect squad for Tomasson to work with, but to be honest, i don't particularly care. I don't think of Mowbray every waking second, he's nothing to do with Rovers any more, the obsession with some people on here is just weird.

Glad Sunderland beat The Harlem Globetrotters a win for football. Hope Coventry go up, but if not, Sunderland.

I agree it was infuriating earlier in the season when there didn't seem any point to it, but the longer the season has gone on, we're making chances from it, and it's really easy on the eye. The Brighton comparison is interesting, it brings into focus Tomasson's comments regarding his remit. That remit being that the club has to play in such a way as to show our young players can make the step up(it's almost as if there's a plan). We missed out last season and it was a real disappointment. This season, with a much weaker Championship, it should be even more galling, yet I'm really upbeat for next season. Thankfully the Tomasson leaving rumours seem to have been knee jerk and unfounded, it's the last thing we need.

The boos when passing out from the back all but disappeared for the last few games, because everyone(almost) could see the reward for doing it. We played some really nice stuff towards the end of the season but the shortcomings were obvious. Put Gelhardt and Diallo in our squad and we walk into the play offs and Sunderland miss out. The recruitment department have a lot of making up to do.

Without doubt, especially the last few weeks. The shortcomings are obvious,but with Buckley back and if the recruitment dept get their fingers out and add to the forward line, we can look ahead with plenty optimism

The squad Mowbray left behind has been top 6 virtually all season,with hardly any help from incoming transfers. It fell short because our recruitment team did a pathetic job, and Sunderland's showed them how to do it. Put their loan players in our squad and we make the top 6 without doubt.

The passing game has gradually come together over the past few weeks, the boos have all but subsided. We've started playing some really good stuff, without the obvious cutting edge that is obviously needed. We need the recruitment team to earn their money and sign game changing players over the summer. Ultimately, it's probably Sunderland's use of the loan market that's probably made the difference. Ours was a pathetic effort.

As Tommy Doc said to Leighton James, you're very deceptive Leighton, you're slower than you look.

The scenario feels a lot more relaxed than if we'd beaten Luton and it was all in our hands. It may yet play into our hands and pile pressure on the others. We had to beat Millwall anyway, so that hasn't changed, I just feel we're more likely to beat them in this situation than the other.

I agree, if we could add to that every week it would be a good start. But the Reading, Coventry, Hull and even Burnley gates were poor. The pricing is always going to be subjective, I think it's an absolute bargain, but let's have a discussion, rather than being accused of being a Waggott supporter the second someone points out the difficulty of the situation.

What were the gates, I can't remember.

I'm not exonerating anybody, that lazy argument is always thrown out the minute anybody has any kind of conversation regarding ticket sales. As I said, the tickets were reduced and the attendances were up, but not significantly. The correlation between the two isn't evident. I've enjoyed this season, and had no hesitation in renewing,it was never in question and never is. But it isn't me they're trying to convince.

I don't know the figures, or the prices,or what constitutes "hugely". The club is in the doldrums, it's suffering from having virtually a generation of "fans" who only got on board because of the obvious. The same people compare the club now to how it was in the 90's, I hear it from customers all the time,using the same old excuse of Venkys for not attending. I've no proof, but from the outside it looks like Blackpool suffer from the same, as do many others. That's why our support is poor, and it's the job of Waggott and Co to reignite some passion into the club and get people believing again, but the poor turnouts over the last few weeks, despite a play off chance and discounted tickets, shows how difficult the job in hand is. It was a tenner against Reading, yet the turnout was pathetic, yet the usual excuses were rolled out, on Sky, night match and the rest. If it was all about pricing, it should have been heaving. In short, you could give season tickets away and it still wouldn't be full, that sums up the job in hand.

I don't see it as prices going up, it was the same argument last season. The price was lowered as a bonus for existing ticket holders, I renewed mine yesterday. If they halved the prices, there isn't a chance we'd get twice as many in, we wouldn't "sell" out if they literally gave them away. There have been poor attendances over the last few weeks, despite the team being in the play offs virtually all season. That's despite the club nigh on giving them away. Waggott is scratting around for a couple more thousand who may or may not buy a season ticket,those people won't come flooding back until the club delivers the Premier league football that enticed them years ago. Then they can all sing "Rovers till I die" like they did against United in the Cup a few years back.

Have they not lowered prices up until tomorrow, I got mine for £20 cheaper yesterday?

Ask Huddersfield who did their p a system and get the same one, it's clear as a bell. It's simple enough

The booing when passing it around at the back has all but stopped, because we are now seeing reward for the risk. It's a shame Morton got injured, he was linking up well with Wharton, and his injury has also meant that Szmodics has had to drop deeper to fill in. Last few games I think we've played well, it's the obvious lack up front that has let us down. Put Armstrong up there, and we're a dangerous team.

I've seen calls to get rid of him, I wouldn't do that,he's an important squad member and can do a good job. He needs adding to.

With the current squad, it still remains a fact that we're much more likely to win with Gallagher in the team. I don't know what part of the facts that people have trouble with. If you were Tomasson, and had Gallagher fit for Millwall, would you lessen our chance of winning by not playing him? I know I wouldn't. Longterm, maybe, but right now the stats say he's our best chance.

Totally agree, I think we are starting to look a good team, it's just the obvious lack of a forward(s) that is letting us down. Ironically, the loss of Morton has probably impacted more than some would admit. We'll see if he gambles with playing Garrett In midfield to get Szmodics further forward. Even better if Gallagher is fit and Szmodics can play behind him.

Where have you got that from? Everything the club has done since Mowbray left would suggest it's absolute rubbish.

I know some people, especially with families, have other priorities, but for me my season ticket is the best value purchase of the year. I don't even think about it or consider not buying it, health permitting , it's going to happen.
