Hurst had sold players to get money in. I said better football. McCarthy had some very decents players during his time there. But after being there so.long fans got bored of it. Probably why Ipswich appointed him and adapted that transfer policies. Didnt know about those sick chants. I believe you can play decent football on that budget.

No batsman in the county championship apart from Burns has scored loads of runs. Why is this? Quality of players, pitches, lack of prep time for 4 days cricket?

I dont think Wigan have the same. But both teams doing well and both took to this league. I think Hurst is trying to overhauling a squad and lack of money from owners make that very tough. Hurst remit from my view is to keep them up. 21st and its job done

Yes I do. we have a team that work hard, team spirit is there, Mowbray has every players working hard and I don't see another team in this league with the team morale/togetherness we have.

I would give him the season. I see it as a project of having to overhaul the squad this season and kick on next season. I think Hurst will just keep them up.

Palmer wouldn't be in my starting team for the game. I would play 2 up front for this game. so that's a no then to my question? It will take months to settle in, new house, new area and adapt to Rovers style and Mowbray ways. so did Dack and Bennett. You are correct that there is a great bond between the players, managers and the fans. The fans never stop signing yesterday and

They want a director of football there at Villa from what I've read yesterday and from my mate telling me. Like I said yesterday Carvalhal was a suggestion from mate. Also said Dean Smith from Brentford. Said he doesn't want a McCarthy or Allardyce type there. Stoke's problems for me are more squad wise and I'm not sure Rowett knows what style of play he wants to play. I think its will be next season before Stoke challenge for promotion. Not sure on McCarthy going there. Hurst should be given the season for me. They aren't adrift yet and yesterday they did keep their 1st clean sheet even they didn't win. Its a new manager with new ideas and new forward line, takes time just like it did with us. Not sure they get any better. On Potter, He would have know about that way before he join and took the challenge on. Good on him. Also think its the right way for Swansea to go. bring in young players either signings like Asoro or Mackay, or bringing players from academy. Been impressed by Potter so far.

Bennett

Graham or Dack shouldnt play against Bournemouth. Play Brereton and Armstrong up front Graham was shattered but he never gives up. Brereton isnt a striker who holds the ball type yet. Being here and with Graham he can learn of him. Hes 19 years old and move to new area and away from family/friends. Have you done this? Give him time. This is similar project to Kalinic I guess.

Doing a good job so far..look at their squad/signings and how young most of the squad is. Bringing through Young players. Doing it a different way to Stoke.

They are looking to appoint a director of football at Villa. Results are going one way. Bruce has never been popular with fans there. They werent happy yesterday after the game. I disagree on Carvalhal and that name is a mention by a good friend(Villa season ticket holder) to me yesterday after the game. Stoke problems go deeper than a manager there. That playing squad look like ours under Kean in the championship a few years ago. No team spirit and toughness like our current squad. I think it will 2 or 3 seasons before they get promote and I dont think they be top 6 this season if Rowett stays there for season. McCarthy wasnt sacked there but walked. His relationship with fans went down hill quickly the last year. Yes the problems with owner and funding. I wouldnt sack Hurst. If he keeps them up its job done there.

Lenihan, Dack, Bennett and Graham all gave their shirts to the fans. Great effort Why take Graham off? Cos he was shattered and for the 5 mins before that he was looking at the bench every opportunity saying he was done. He did great yesterday and He shouldnt be playing on Tuesday and saved for Saturday game..

Villa will go foriegn. Stoke fans dont want Rowett there. They should have gone for Potter before he went to Swansea. If I was them I would for Brentford Dean Smith. Would he leave Brentford for Stoke I dont know. Would Moyes drop down to Championship? Why would Grayson go back after leaving? Plus not loads of money there. Ipswich, bigger problem is funds. Lambert? Cant see it. I think they should stick with Hurst for the season.

I expect Villa will go Foreign possible Carlos Carvalhal as head coach with a director of football in charge. Some of Villa backroom scouting staff were sacked this past week. Stoke is a possibly Didn't know where Ipswich go after Hurst if he was sack. Ipswich are trying to change a squad and style. it will take time so I hope he is given this Preston job not big enough for McCarthy and I don't see Neil going anywhere yet

today was a fantastic performance for the first 75 mins and the best under Mowbray Ive seen. very poor 10 mins. I thought Reed and Bennett was immense and Bennett my man of the match for his leadership skills in the 15 minutes over Reed just pip Reed. Smallwood and Evans were excellent. Dack and Graham proved how good they are today. Graham prove me wrong today with his fitness even tho he should have come off 5 minutes early. Lenihan was poor for the 2 goals and the Penalty aswell. Brereton doesn't and isn't match fit but if Rothwell played the correct pass to him he would be one and one with the keeper. That's the type of striker he is. On Stoke, I thought the atmosphere where boring and no support from the team. Stoke team/players look lost and look like our squad in the championship under Kean and so disorganised. I didn't understand their tactics and style as it seem very mixed and confusing. Rowett knows that he is close to the sack. I didn't think he thought it would be so hard there and change their fortunes around. He very rarely came out from the dugout.

4 managers under pressure tonight for me from fans comments Ive seen Hurst at Ipswich Neil at Preston Rowett at Stoke Bruce at Villa

Great win and we deserve to win overall. We got sloppy for 5 win and it cost.. Mowbray got his starting 11 right. Great day out.. Tony Mowbray's blue and white army ?

M6 traffic is poor. Too many roadworks

Come on Rovers!!!

Broad aswell. No Porter tho. My team from that squad Burns Jennings Ali Root Bairstow Stokes Buttler Curran Rashid Leach Anderson

I think its a decent and fair amount of season ticket sold obviously it would have been great to sell more. I can understand the argument for cheaper prices and Waggott argument for a change from a benefactor model towards a more financially self-sufficient basis. if the prices were cheaper or a special offer like a free child season ticket if am Adult season ticket is purchase if you are non season ticket holder for 2 years or loger very good point that Rovers should be looking to advertise more local business. I think

Looking forward to go there tomorrow. Hope that dreadful m6 is clear. Dont want any traffic problems.

I rather a manager came out and talk about the deals didnt happen. I think they are missing Bodin and Maguire. Always expect them to struggle but stay up. Neil is decent manager for them

Healy. 1.5 million

Neil said at fans meeting on Monday that he had 2 bids for players that would have broken the club transfer fees but went elsewhere
