I’ll do Buckley, but tell him he’ll be hooked after 30 minutes if he’s playing with his half-arsed Pirlo playing Sunday league attitude. There’s a player there, but he’s at risk of stagnation.

He’ll play on Tuesday. Kaminski Hyam Phillips Wharton Brittain Wharton Buckley Morton Pickering Gallagher BBD.

Agreed, I’d rather we subbed you on.

I get I’ll be in a minority, but I don’t like it. It’s a short career, to give 9 years gets my respect. I’d have much rather he was totally ignored for the duration. But I can admit my views won’t be the norm!

I fear we will sell him without giving him a chance. We’ll be lucky to get a million for him based on 2x ACL and no game time. If he can have a semi-decent season and prove his fitness it would benefit us and also increase his value. But I think his time is up now with JDT.

Although I was told it was worse (I’ll take your word), I still think both of those chants and the boos are really, really poor. I admit i’m a little biased when it comes to Darragh.

Agree with you on Dack, I find it really really harsh. If we can find a way to turn these L’s into draws we will have a chance.

Agreed, which is why I’m disappointed Lenihan seemingly got 95 minutes of abuse from the Rovers fans today. I get light hearted mocking but it sounds like he got it big time today. That’s a man that spent 9 years of his career here, had the option to move earlier for more money and didn’t kick up too much of a stink, is a well respected captain and is liked at Brockhall, especially at the academy for which he did much more than he needed to. He got to the age of a last big contract of his career and chose the most money, for a manager that tried to sign him before and really wanted him. And we’ve seemingly replaced him with someone at least as good! Sometimes I despair, I really do.

Can drop as low as 8th if results go against us for the game in hand. It’s like January 2022 all over again, don’t forget those games in hand!

It’s a funny old league Longers. One minute you’re playing teams off the park, the next you can’t get out your own half. Very tough to get any sort of consistency playing so often against so many different styles. We’re potentially five points (1 pt behind, 1 game in hand, goal difference) behind you and Sheffield and could soon be 8 points behind Norwich. It’s starting to open up, you’ll know by the middle of January whether you’re challenging top-two or ‘best of the rest’.

You’ve been left behind unfortunately. 5 million wouldn’t get his arms nevermind his feet, it’s absolute chicken feed for Liverpool. I bet they’d reject 20M.

I know Phillips is seen as the crown jewel, but Adam Wharton plays championship football like he’s won Champions Leagues and World Cups. He needs very carefully managing and needs to understand that this is important, but if we can keep him on this trajectory he could easily be a Jude Bellingham type sale one day. WHAT A FUCKING GOAL SAM GALLAGHER!!

Kaminski Hyam Phillips Wharton Brittain Wharton Travis Morton Pickering Brereton Gallagher. Can’t argue with that really. Phillips now officially ahead of Carter, which surprises me. Slight change of formation to be less attacking. I think we need a level of consistency with formations to break the inconsistent form.

Hirst starts for the U21s, so that ends that hunch.

Newspapers are saying he’s been tracked by AC Milan!

There’s 6 midfielders and strikers there and only one has a tackle in them. We’d get absolutely pulverised with that team.

I know its Wolfsburg's U21s, but I just can't get my head around how anyone can watch that and only give him 8 minutes. If that was a random Rovers U21 player we would find a way to give him minutes.

I thought this, but I was watching some highlights on the Rovers twitter of the last time we played Rotherham (I think) and Dack looked exactly the same then. He gave up when he lost the ball, he made a token attempt to press and didn't make any runs in behind. He's never chased down balls, he's never covered lots of ground in a game, he's never been especially quick. What he did then and still does now is be capable of playing a killer ball and have the unteachable ability of being in the right place at the right time.

I'm putting it down to this as well. It's a tried and tested technique when you're coming in and changing big things, get rid of the previous regime.

If Dack doesn’t suit the system then by default, neither does Szmodics. I understand the point you’re trying to make, but Dack offers things to the team that Szmodics doesn’t just as much as the other way.

Clinton Mola has all the hallmarks of a Tom M favourite.

Bradley Dack scores goals. Who would have thought it.

Jesus mate, I know Trav had a back game against Wigan but Edun isn't the answer. He's especially shite. Kaminski Brittain Hyam Wharton Pickering Wharton Travis Morton Hedges Dack Brereton That has to be the team for me.

His missus’ Twitter likes are essentially a barrage of support for Dack and fans questioning the manager and the club. This situation needs resolving as a priority. It’s dreadful for all involved. Let’s not forget Dack is best mates with Brereton.
