How has Pickering not been subbed yet. JDT waiting for another mistake by him?!

That was. The 3rd goal was all on Millwall.

What a mess

Come on Wharton!!!

Has it been that low? Jheez that's bad. Same as most games since January sadly. I'm starting to expect this type of performance as our normal type of performance. At least we aren't playing Morton..

Has it been that low? Jheez. And west brom are now winning too ffs

We don't expect to be fighting for the play offs. We are a young team..we are in transition. Etc etc. Yawn

Mate you can't criticise the manager on here 😉

Not really crucifying him. The owners have not helped. But we have been in a position for expected play offs for so much of the season and then we start to capitulate towards the final hurdle it's just frustrating.

He is frustrating in his pre and post match interviews. Hope he coaches better than the talk he gives us

206 days we've been in top 6. only Burnley sheff utd been there longer. That's insane. So when JDT says we don't expect to be going for play offs you know he is chatting bs..

Oh dear. Hedges up front..hope he has been practicing his shooting

Classic JDT behaviour. Some fans would say it's "Mind games" I'm not sure

“It’s going to be a good game against a tough team. We’ll always be respectful but ultimately both teams need to win. “Technically we don’t need to win but our mentality is that we have to go out and win the game, not rely on other results. In order to do that we’re going to have to perform really, really well at The Den. But we predominantly have done that this season against the bigger teams up there" https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/23505531.millwall-boss-gary-rowett-expects-see-blackburn-rovers/ come on ROVERS, we need this more than they do

the problem is for rovers is that we can change from TM to JDT but sadly the owners remain. the squad is only as strong as itself and they seemingly cant score many. i see JDT ramping it up about Sam G, expect him to play today, hopefully he will get at least a goal after all his chat about him

No no. This isn't gas lighting. I just think to say we have the mentality to win every game and then we don't win every game sounds a bit ridiculous. It's fine to say we go in to this game to win it, but clearly we keep losing or drawing so there is no need to comment on how we go into those games. Sounds stupid. To me at least. Its like me saying after not winning the lottery, oh I bought the right numbers but they didn't turn up this time. Pointless. Of course our players go in to the game to win. No professional athlete goes to a competition with the plan to come second or lose. I just think he talks a lot of shit sometimes which I think is fine in his first season but if we keep doing the same insane things next season he won't have the excuse of being our new manager

"We are extremely ambitious and we are going on the pitch to win every game. “I have said that in every press conference, we haven’t won every game, we’ve lost games, but we’ve always had the mindset. “I’m a big believer that if you have that mindset you will win more games than you lose.” He sounds deluded. If we get the same displays, results and same repetition of madness, particularly at the end of games, poor subs, poor use of excellence within youth.. I'm afraid I won't be backing this guy. His delusional press conferences are only acceptable as it's first season..

When was the last time we got a) a penalty b) scored a penalty and c) and own goal in our favour?? We aren't looking good at scoring at the moment and leave loads of room open when rushing forward trying to pass the ball into the net, so seem to concede as we leave all the space at the back. Maybe we need more balls in the box or some tricks in the box to get an own goal or a penalty??

100% agree.i haven't seen a live game since his injury so just checking. Hope he doesn't come back on loan with us again next season because he doesn't suit out style. Too many sideways and backwards passes

Have we played better since his injury?

Haha. Top effort!!

League 1

JDT knows the venkys won't invest. So he has to sell to buy. This is a good suggestion Think pears is more coachable for JDT and his staff. Think we will see him develop those skills over the next few years. Probably cheaper to keep Pears if we can sell TK. We know venkys love to sell our good players when they can

Yeah indeed..our squad needs a bit of overhaul if we are to do anything decent. We need better players but a clear out, similar to arsenal's of the last couple of years. Problem is, January is proof that the owners won't back JDT. I'm still waiting for the return in investment from the Armstrong sale..

Expecting us to score a goal is not expecting too much. So many other teams have mf df and even a certain goalkeeper can score against us. Not expecting hat tricks but he has failed at addressing our goals for which is very disappointing
