No. What I mean is that a new manager needs to get our players to perform better, and for Cantwell, that would mean his general play must improve, AND that he produces passes like that. A good manager with a good team can help with that. Eustace had a great management team, and we should bring in someone who knows how to build a similar structure around our team.

Could it be that many of our players have lost direction a little bit under Ismael's period?

Well, even when he is at his worst, like yesterday, he still made the pass for Jørgensen's big chance, which I would claim that 90% of our players could not replicate if they tried ten times.

I totally get people who have had enough of Cantwell and his potential; however, one of the key attributes of the next manager (and his team) must be to get the best out of the players we have. For many of the players, that presumably means very simple, clear directions and playing on their, it must be admitted, few strengths. When it comes to Cantwell, I don't know what the trick is. But there must be a trick. Somewhere. When he played his first 45 minutes for Rovers at Ewood against QPR, he was clearly rusty as hell, but his movement and vision were still better than anyone on the pitch. Eustace even got a tune out of Gueye...

Given that Adam Owen (and Steve Kean!) is the link here, I guess I have underestimated how utterly incompetent he is. Coleman is League One relegation material.

If you ask Sam that question, he will tell you that there is no one more versed than him 😉

I'm convinced that that's the plan, I mean, to attract circus monkeys.

Would he cost money? Yes. Would he come back until the end of the season? I believe so. The Podcast was all about Rovers at one point. Apart from the money, it could come down to whether Rudy felt that he was treated with 'respect' when he was on. I remember Natalie Pike slating the food offering at Ewood; that probably hurt Mr Gestede's ego a bit too much to call Sam again.

We did once 🙂 Speaking of favourite players... although it did not last long.

Cifuentes is a good shout and could be a quick fix, having kept QRP up a couple of seasons ago. I think QPR had lost something like 10 of the 14 first matches of the season when he came in. Even finished a place above Eustace. But he'll probably get better offers somewhere else...

We did not sign a single player of proven Championship quality, when our squad is bloody screaming out for it. Rudy Gestede is taking us down.

It's a bit strange, or maybe not, but I wish Sammie the best of luck. He kept us up on his own. Those goals against Leicester!!!

Big Sam with Phil Jones as assistant. You read it here first 😆

Limited players need simple instructions and a great motivator, preferably with tactical acumen and good game management. Over to you, Rudy...
