No he isn't.

Ironically, the injury has confirmed his place at number one.

Great point.

He has been hammered by long term injuries, but then you have to ask who is in charge of the training, game management and recovery? I'm more than happy to see how we go over this season and next, I thought the booing on Monday was ridiculous.

He took over a team which finished 8th,then 7th. The decline has happened on his watch. I do like him and I no way want him to leave, some of the football has been brilliant,but he is being cut an enormous amount of slack in some quarters.

As soon as that ball in left his foot I said great ball, we were right behind it. It was, as you say, an excellent ball in.

How many on here go to Ewood?

Nobody ends up with a new head coach by chance.

It's his remit, it's what he's here to do. I'm guessing there will be a change of manager before there's a change in approach.

Matters not whether anyone likes it, he's playing a way to showcase players into saleable assets and he isn't going to change.

Didn't realise there was an option 😁

Thinking the same, Garrett is always on a tightrope

Only Markanday shown anything at all up to now

As I said, either, it looks like we're missing both badly. Maybe Szmodics was due a lull anyway, but he's definitely missing Dolan, the pressing from the front is definitely less intense without him. It's a shame, they were both playing as well as they have done.

I'd have either, but the form held up without Costello, it fell off a cliff once Dolan got injured, as did Szmodics finding the net.

We are missing him obviously, but the form of both the team, and Szmodics has nosedived since Dolan got injured. He'd be my first choice if I could have anyone back for Hull.

It isn't just a couple though, it's at least 4 in the last 3 games. I'm praying he comes good, but right now, for me, Pears is straight back in as soon as he's fit. Hopefully Wahlsted's form improves over the next few games enough to warrant keeping his place.

Going back years, how many of yesterday's players were playing for Rovers? He's been here for too long for that argument to stack up.

If I could have one injured player back for Hull, it would be Dolan. The drop off in form since he got injured isn't a coincidence, Rovers and in particular Szmodics, are missing him massively.

Why does he play Brittain in that introverted full back position

I always say young Adam walks like one of those long distance walkers in the Olympics, it's all in the hips.

This is where the inconsistency lies, if Pears makes the same blunders, you're all over it. We've gone from Pears being ridiculously blamed for the goals at Rotherham, to your comment above, it's mental honestly. Let's have at least a bit of consistency.

I haven't missed a home game since the Doncaster game in league 1 due to holiday commitments. That includes every home cup tie. I'm seriously considering giving this one a miss, maybe the club could highlight paying on line without alienating people,such as me, who normally pay cash. Would it be so difficult???? I also haven't bought one thing on the concourse since it all went cashless. Please think again Mr Waggott, stop alienating people and leave the gimmicks to that egotistical prick at Forest Green.

I don't know any way you could look at the first goal and come to the conclusion that the keeper isn't at fault.

So many injuries to such a young squad, but there's no doubt that the sudden dip over the last few games has been as a result of Dolan getting injured, the zip has gone and we're looking weary. Thankfully it's a full week off before another game of small margins on Saturday,3 points would make a big difference to the league table.
