Have it on good authority that Buckley was nutted by Ismael for dallying on the ball in training

Yes

Already making changes. No midweek days off for staff. A certain head of physio not too happy haha

You put pasha on blast for wanting to hire someone cheap and then recommend Travis as player manager. The mind boggles.

Google Watford manager history

A former play off manager? For a team chasing playoffs? Yeah, it’s decent. With the self inflicted restrictions, it’s a solid appointment.

Think the Ismael reaction is slightly over the top. Don’t understand where the long ball merchant tag has come from. Was excellent at Barnsley and got the most out of both Britain and Woodrow. Not the most glamorous of names but he’s a solid coach and we could do far worse. think it’s a decent appointment.

He barged into his back. Just stupid petulance. Does it every game.

Dolan really is an absolute prat

Hedges off. 3-2 Rovers.

Now Gavin Ward has shown up. Shocking referee. Game over.

Keep Hedges, release Sigurdsson. Bonkers. Even from the physio table he offers more than Hedges.

Dolan and Hedges are having an atrocious game

Standard Hedges performance so far

I'd take Pep Ljinders. Risky no doubt, but he speaks well. Karanka has sneaked in because of Gestede obviously, he would be a bad bad choice.

Phil Jones for manager

He won't leave Bodø. Several have tried.

Eustace said he wanted talks with Waggott and Pasha about a contract and reassurances. In my belief, he had no intention of staying after Derby contacted him. It was a face saving tactic.

I wouldn't be against Gerrard either. Think it'll be a left field appointment from Europe though. Whether thats good or bad, i'm not sure.

Forshaw is solid next to Travis

Odd team selection and Plymouth are on fire. For that reason we're gonna win 3-0.

Being closer to home wasn't the reason Eustace left. It was an added bonus. The location of a manager should have no impact on whether they get the job or not. Please lets not make this a thing. You commute or you move! Like every one else has to do.

Something tells me he won't be at Derby in 3 years time.

He's not helped himself here I don't think. I don't want to say "Good riddance" but I am disappointed in him and I think long term his legacy here will be a sour one. I think it is a decision he will come to regret, particularly if we end up in the playoffs and dare I say promoted. Feel for anyone working under Venkys and the chuckle brothers and he's not the first to be frustrated by it (Nor the last I expect) but his behaviour has been poor. There is no question there. Wish him the best at Derby (I don't) and bring on the 8th March!

I love this team. Eustace has his reasons to leave but I hope he regrets it come the end of the season. That's a fantastic win under the circumstances.
