Horrendous injuries/illness let’s get through Saturday, international break and see where we are.

Yeah he mentions our squad is good enough but not with 10 out, he wasn’t making excuses but it’s pretty obvious with a depleted squad as ours we aren’t going to be firing on all cylinders. It was the tv presenters who highlighted all the missing personnel and said we will be in contention when everyone back. Saying that, Gallagher was very poor, let’s hope Armstrong is back soon. JRC is a decent footballer but L/b he isn’t but when you’ve got both your left backs out it’s difficult. Let’s see who’s available after the international break and go from there.

Take 10 first teamers out of Reading Watford etc and see how they manage, not just squad members but probably 6/7 who would be in the team. TV pundits all agree when we get players back we will be up there. Pundits like Paul Cook as well who usually doesn’t like us, Lee Johnson another one, it’s not excuses it’s fact!!!

No it’s not rubbish, if a team has 9 players out, normally it’s a few squad members, but you’ve got to admit probably 7 of those would actually start, ( Bennett not in squad and Bell on bench). Kaminsky, Ayala,Johnson,Rothwell,Travis,Dack Douglas would very likely start. Not sure there are many teams in the division could get by with all those out.

. I would much prefer consistency in positive results and crap performances than decent performances lurching from one extreme to the other. Yep defo says prefer consistency and crap performances.

Well if you read the post I was replying to, you will see exactly that.

Well all to our own, I like the way he plays this season, players still getting used to it, obviously we have to tighten up, TM hasn’t set any bar for mid table mediocrity, he’s said time again he expects us to be up there and believes in the squad. We have some very talented players and I don’t want to watch crap performances every week hoping for a 1 0 win, let’s see how it pans out this season playing a different and exciting way. I know it’s not against the top teams but we have kept 4 clean sheets out of 8 and can score a few as well. Been very unfortunate with injuries and coved and had to use 26 players already, let’s hope for a settled side soon and try to get the consistent streak we need, but keep playing with a high tempo.

Think he’s trying to make the team attractive to watch, and hopefully to win matches as well, Nyambe needs to come back in at R/b and much as I like JRC he’s not good enough at full back, right midfielder come winger is his position. Douglas seemed a decent loan but needs to be better defensively, It’s certainly exciting to watch and hopefully he can tighten up at the back, and still think we could have a good season. You seem to be quick off the mark to criticise when we get beat but nothing when we give someone a hammering. Hopefully he knows now his best players playing in the right positions, still think we can be in the top six come May, and yes tighten up but keep playing exciting stuff.

Sure read it somewhere Rothwell isolated till Friday, not 100% sure.

Excellent result, pleased for Mowbray, love the style we are playing. Wont happen every week, struggle to break down teams who park the bus, like some top premier teams do, glad Brereton has come good, Holtby on fire and a very astute loan with Elliot. With Dack, Travis and Rothwell to come into the squad it could be our best chance to get in the top 6.

He’s gone with most of the fans choice, his new guys must have impressed in training ?

Yes

Coventry manager saying they are down to bare bones with injuries and one isolated, says waiting for coved tests coming back from yesterday, think he would like it to be postponed reading between the lines.https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/football-news/coventry-city-blackburn-rovers-19152401

Yes

No, I didn’t say “give him till Christmas” I said see where we are at Christmas, but you and others want him out every time we have bad result. I personally think he’s a decent manager, bought well in this window in a difficult time, unlucky we have a few injuries and unavailability of players,the time to judge is 15 or so games,and give the new signings to bed in. Think 90% on here were happy with his transfer dealings, and a reasonable start, just wait till we get the main players back and see where we are....

Think only Bennett injured in international weeks, who wouldn’t have started anyway, couple with Coved, Holtby on paternity leave, Travis long term, Dack back shortly along with JRC, rest back playing, not sure it’s fair blaming medical folk, and a bit last minute to put 3 new signings in, need to get used to system etc. This time time last season think Charlton were second in league after 5 games, let’s see where we are 10/15 games in.

Excellent point,you would probably say 6 or 7 of those if fit would be in the match day squad and at least 5 in the starting line up, Early doors, let’s see where we are at Christmas.

And who did you expect?

TM has already said he has a decent squad but light on numbers, he’s rectified that, there will be injuries, squad numbers about right, with probably a couple going out on loan, as well as Charlie going to Fleetwood. Very decent window, with a mixture of permanent, loans, experienced and young ‘uns.. Only slight disappointment is that Josh King didn’t go anywhere..

No one can guarantee game time, but some clubs want a fee if the player doesn’t play a set number of games, very good loan signing.

Plus Elliott ?

Don't forget Dack, he does score goals, not the pace of Armstrong but quality...

Yeah agree, definitely reasons to be hopefull, feeling Brennan from u23s could be the next one to break through, impressed every time I’ve seen him. If we sign both of these tomorrow, you have to say a decent window without having too much dosh to throw around.

That’s what we want to hear.

Oh dear, think you might be in the 1% on here, thinking as you do.
