Corrected
I totally agree with your correction. Mowbray's record and approach suggests he could well be the best we have had since Big Sam - we can but hope.

Lambert wasnt a manager? Are you having a laugh? The only real manager we have had under these clowns
I think you might find Wolves fans disagree at the moment.

"I’m hoping that I can resolve that, but I still want to attack and try and score goals. I need to make sure that if we’re attacking we’ve still got the back door shut and we have players whose job it is to not go past the ball and to protect the team from a counter-attack. Over a period of time we can do some more extensive work and I will drill them and drill them on what I expect and where I expect them to be on a football pitch.
“I see modern football as a positional game, how to fill spaces on the pitch, how many men to commit forward, how many players to defend with, when do you gamble and when do you use your game management, so I want them to learn. From what I can see in their eyes, some of it is new to them, which is always good, and I hope they take to it"
A sad indictment of the 'outstanding candidate'. At least this fella sounds like a football club manager.
Watching him standing on the touchline all game, not only does he sound like a manager he looks and acts like a manager. A welcome change from the past two managers we've had.

Must say I've been impressed with the interviews thus far. Sadly, the timing of the switch was all wrong - giving him four games in a matter of twelve days means he has little time to work on the training ground. It should have happened after the Rotherham game, indeed it should have been after Barnsley. Long term I believe he will be the right man for the job and feel far more optimistic than under Coyle. Only time will tell, and it will be a struggle, but at least we are now in with a fighting chance of staying up.

Question for Parson - how do you feel about Dunn moving up ahead of DJ?
Is this a slight on Johnson or more that he needs to keep in the role he's clearly doing well in.
I'd rather they both stayed as they were for now
To be honest Tom I would have liked to have seen Dunny stay with Johnson, although as Under-23 games rarely if ever clash with first team games, I can see him continuing some involvement with the Under-23's. Dunny will bring some much needed passion to the first team. Johnson has done a great job with the Under-23's so it's a real plus that he is staying in that role.
-
Under the circumstances it seems a decent appointment. Plenty of experience and both Lowe and Dunny know the players he is going to be working with which should help. I feel we have at least have given ourselves a chance of avoiding relegation with this appointment. Only time will tell but wish him all the luck in the world.

Not if they are foreign very average and attached to crown sports agency parsons !
This is where we differ. I only see footballers and not nationalities. In the three lads I mentioned I can only see huge promise and I don't have a problem with footballers having agents. So hopefully, Nyambe, Raya, Tomlinson and many more will come through and claim regular positions in the team. I'm assuming the likes of Stefan Mols and Ben Paton wouldn't meet with your approval either.

You're selling league one next season parsons - loser ....supporting loser footballers !
We want our Rovers back !
Whatever league we are in next season we want to keep producing good young players like Ryan Nyambe, David Raya, Willem Tomlinson and the rest!

Expectations Parsons putting the ball into the stands from an attacking point of view isn't everybody's cup of tea and it certainly doesn't win you games. Let's let the readers know that this is common practice down at Brockhall from Ryan Nyambe.
As for learning ....learning who's he learning from ?
I've seen huge improvements in the lad this season so he is clearly learning from someone. Everyone who I sit with at Ewood, who never go to the Under-23 or Under-18's, have been hugely impressed with him. He looks the real deal at the moment but obviously, we need to see if he can deliver over a number of seasons with the same level of consistency that he is showing now.

Last night's game at Southport wasn't the best. A bitterly cold night and an awful playing surface but a good win for the young lads against a Southport team playing in front of their new manager. Southport had the better of the first half but the Rovers finished the stronger of the two sides with Mansell scoring a cracking goal. Andy Fisher was the star of the night - good saves during the game and brilliant in the penalty shoot-out. Fleetwood at home in the semi-finals is the reward for a winning a really tough game.

Whilst Nyambe clearly had a physical advantage at youth level now he's in the first team that advantage is no longer there so he has to rely on ability and that ability is average at best.
Hear he put two crosses into the stands on Saturday. Don...kee !!!
He played very well on Saturday Jal, just as he has done so in the past few games. He's finding his feet at this level and learning very quickly. So far he looks quite at home playing at Championship level.

Did he play in the games against Chelsea ? I thought both our centre backs looked pretty promising and they'd plenty to do. Doyle impressed me at left back. I wasn't jumping out of my seat at any of the players in front of them. Having said that I remember watching Damien Duff in a youth team game and he was very quiet.
Wharton and Platt have been together for a number of years coming through the ranks together. I think the only way you find out about them Tyrone is by giving them game time with the seniors. Nyambe seems to have made the step up, although I've no doubt he'll make errors as he's still young and learning, but he doesn't seem out of place at that level. I'm sure there are others in the Under-23's who could do the same but throwing them into a relegation struggle, particularly with the present manager, would be asking a huge amount of them.

Travis play at Right back? better position?
I think Doyle is going to be good player in the future.
I think within 2 seasons we will have 7 or 8 players with the first team squad from the academy. I'm not including Lowe or Raya or Lenihan in that. along with Mahoney, Tomlinson, Travis, Wharton, Doyle, Hardcastle, Rankin Costello and Nyambe
Travis is better in midfield but is a solid full-back when asked to play in that position. Doyle is developing into a decent left-back but untried at senior level. One you have missed is Matty Platt, who is captain of the Under-23's and every bit as good as Wharton.

You mention Connor Thomson .
Sounds like he should be on the bench ahead of Connor Mahoney.
Different types of player Jal which is why they compliment each other in the Under-23's. Mahoney is the more creative who can deliver a spectacular goal or wonderful cross whilst Thomson is the workhorse who gets up and down for ninety minutes.

Does that mean we lost?
Another question, in case you know, is this our last season in the PL development league or whatever it's called? Or does it depend on if we stay in the Championship or not? Or purely down to the academy having Level 1 status?
A 2-1 win - our third win on the run - and an absolutely brilliant game of football. As far as I'm aware Category 1 status is reviewed every three years and as we were reviewed last year we should have another two years at that level before we are due another review. Of course you can opt to leave Category 1 if you wish - which is what Bolton did a couple of years ago to cut costs.

A cracking game of football tonight at Leyland. Two teams playing attacking football and giving one hundred per cent. Everyone in a Blue & White shirt tonight was good, not a weak link in the team against an excellent West Ham team. Tomlinson, Travis and Thomson in particular caught the eye going forward.

Note tonight that Dean Rittenberg has been released by mutual consent. Haven't followed his career closely but he seems to have been been at the Club an awfully long time to never get a chance and be dumped.
Do we need to be a lot more proactive in giving the youngsters a chance, and if they're not good enough having had that chance, cutting them adrift?
He was awful Rev. He had a purple patch when he was about 17 - played for England at that level - got a long contract and has done nothing since. For the past two seasons he has struggled to make the bench for the Under21/Under23's. When he went to Chorley on loan he couldn't get a regular slot in their team.

Your not telling us much about Connor Thomson parsons.
As for Mols reminds me of Jason Lowe lots of sideways passes parsons.
Any more on Connor Thomson ?
Don't know when you last watched Mols but he is nothing like Lowe at the moment. Plays any number of forward passes and runs at defenders with the ball.
Thomson reminds me at bit of Brett Emerton in that he can play wide midfield or full-back. Strong lad who can run at defenders and deliver decent balls into the box. In truth he has been moved around a bit in terms of positions and it's really only this season that they seem to have settled on the wide midfield position (usually left midfield) for him. Somewhat inconsistent and for me is a lad who needs to go out on loan to a League One or Two team to get some first team experience. I can see why they have given him another contract as he does have potential but I'm not convinced as to how far he might go. The jury is out for me which is why I would like to see him loaned out to see if he can do it at a level higher than Under-23's.

Who's Thomson parsons looked strong against a very poor Burnley under 23 team whilst Travis at right back didn't look anything special though I'll reserve judgement for now.
Connor Thomson is the lad that Eric picked up from Carlisle when he was released. Plays wide midfield most of the time. Travis is playing right-back at the moment because Nyambe has moved up to the senior team. Travis is far better in the midfield role that he has occupied for most the season. Hopefully Travis will be the next youngster to be given a contract, certainly deserves one for the progress he has made this season. Travis and Tomlinson make a formidable partnership in the centre of midfield. Keep an eye out for Stefan Mols who is just starting to move up to the Under-23's as he is a really talented attacking midfield player.
Just now, chaddyrovers said:How did Butterworth played tonight?
What type.of striker is he?
Not the biggest striker, similar in style really to Joe Garner but not quite as aggressive. He is quick and confident with the ball at his feet. Has an eye for goal and finishes well. Just starting to get some games with the Under-23's. Certainly played well tonight and took his goal extremely well.

Cheers Parsons what went wrong at Wolves away when the likes of Nyambe Travis Mahoney played yet the under 23's failed to register a single goal whilst these lads are being looked on as potential first teamers.
Poor night all round to be honest. First half it was fairly even with Tomlinson hitting the post and then the 'keeper making a brilliant save from him. Second half Wolves took control. Travis was literally kicked out of the game. I think three yellow cards were shown for tackles on him alone. Wolves capitalised on individual errors whereas we missed chances. We do lack a quality striker at this level. Never been convinced by Mansell.

You say winger parsons I'd say he's more of an attacking midfielder intesteresting is he being played in the right position I wonder ?
I'm talking about Alex parsons just to clarify.
Sorry Jal, I was talking about Tre. Agree with you about Alex
-
Before Alex's injury thought he stood out amongst his group just hope he can bounce back though going out to Fleetwood should have done him good. As for the under 18's how's Tre Pemberton performing this season.
From what I've seen he seems to be progressing nicely. Needs to be given a run in the Under-23's at some stage to see if he can do it at a higher level. I like the fact that he's not afraid to get a tackle in and gives as good as he gets. Despite not being the biggest he's not the type to be bullied out of it. As wingers go he's got most of the attributes you want - quick, good at crossing and has an eye for goal.
-
How's Alex Curran doing these days parsons.
He's been out on loan at Fleetwood and I have heard he has had a trial with another club but is back in the fold now. Haven't really seen much of him. He had a nasty injury last season and I thought they might give him an extra year - as they usually do with lads who have a bad injury - but haven't heard anything as yet. What I saw of him early season looked quite promising but he seems to have been edged out and as the Under-18's are having a decent season I'm not sure how he will force his way back in.
-
He has his own style which hopefully if he can improve will become every bit as good as Dunny but what Parsons says about Joe is very true.
Chaddy Joe has worked in the main under Billy Bar.
We are in agreement at last Jal - long may it continue! Chaddy, Jal is absolutely correct in saying that Joe has worked mainly with Billy Barr prior to this season.
