  1. nope tbh, we lost two games in 3 and a draw against a good team which is above us in the league. The 2 games we have lost have been tight games. Also I don't why any of you are pessimistic given we have Leeds and Burnley, after watching both games and them a few times we have NOTHING to fear and just to remind yourself and others we have beat Leeds at Ewood Park and we got a draw against that lot with 10 men. Our current squad is 5th in the league, that is down to those players and Eustace/and his staff. We have around 23/24 players in the first team squad, we just need to add 3 quality signings in January to help this squad out and kick us on to achieve Playoff place previous seasons were different issues to this season. First season, Mowbray should have adapted and changed Formation to secure us that playoff place. Second season under JDT(his first season here), we lacked that quality striker and miss out on goal difference. Last season, its starting going wrong around Christmas time and JDT wouldn't changed his style or tactics to get us points plus they were falling outs behind the scenes. and then JDT final press interview. Eustace came in, and did the job he was bought in for which was keep us up which he delivered and now he has kick us on this season Burnley were awful last night and not as great as everyone thinks. Are Leeds that good? We beaten these twice under Eustace. He will knew how he will set up. I know the supporters are behind the team, We seen their support all season and will do for the Dingles game.
  2. apart from Leeds none of the others teams in the top 8 won yesterday, just a reminder that anyone can beat anyone at this level
  3. very surprised how many of you are writing off our chances in beating Leeds despite us having beaten then twice under Eustace and this sort of game suits us tbh
  4. I'm just watched the Sky highlights on the Sky Sports Football channel which do show very actual reflection of the game. Eustace said we have top of the league in goals off the bench stat, so your comment that who? off the bench isn't actual true.
  5. Nicko saying we will formally appointment of a new chief scout tomorrow and he believe its a domestic appointment
  6. Its the same formation all season which is 4-2-3-1 formation
  7. Striker badly needed and it will be interesting who we go for and I hope its someone proven. Still need a left winger Would like centre back with can play left back.
  8. So do believe we can win here? what would people team selection been My Rovers team would be Pears Brittain Hyam Batth Beck Tronstad Baker Dolan Weimann Hedges Ohashi Rovers to win 1 nil. Ohashi
  9. Disappointed result and Rovers nowhere near their best today. First half, tempo too slow, players abit slow of the mark, etc. We have a chance with ACD, but nowhere near our best attacking wise. Also we kept messing around at the back instead of aiming long up to Gueye to try to win the flick on's or hold the ball up. But when he does, no-one near him. Second half, we upped our tempo and movement, we created 3 great chances and we should score at least 2 of them. Cantwell and Beck both should have scored. Then Hull scored just after Baker went off for Buckley which is not a change I would have made at nil - nil I wasn't keen on Gueye starting over Ohashi. I also thought Eustace got his Buckley for Baker sub wrong and not something I would have done at 0-0. So even we only took a point over the 3 games, Its just show every time how unpredictable and any team can beat anyone at this level. We are capable of beating Leeds and Burnley, and its my heading tbh people writing our team under Eustace off before both game. Lets be honest, we are in the playoff places going into New Year, and a league position no-one expected to be in right now. This squad under Eustace leadership has been brilliant this season, yes today and Millwall results are disappointed but that is the championship and results can go this way. They will be plenty of up and downs but this isn't a death spiral at all. Lets get behind Eustace's blue and White Army 🔵⚪
  10. it's about managing players game time and resources like most teams do over Christmas and New Year period
  11. You said rest loads of players which is not what I said. I picked ACD over Hedges, rest Tronstad and pick Buckley. Rest was the same 11 as last game
  12. In my team I have rested loads. I've rest one player FFS in Tronstad, that's it! Pick ACD over Hedges to play wide left. Fair enough. No cos we beaten Leeds at their ground last season and at Ewood Park this season. We got a very much well deserved point against that lot. Every team at this level is more than capable of being each other.
  13. I bet our management team are thinking about Leeds and using the squad over the next week. We have 3 games in 7 days. Tronstad will need a rest at some point. For me, today's game would be my choice with him on the bench Every game represents a chance of 3 points and We have beat them twice under Eustace, lets hope again on New year day Wrong. Today game will be as difficult as ever but we have use the squad. We have/had 4 games in 10 days.
  14. Deffo no for me. Cantwell has to play one of the 3 behind the main striker. Ohashi up top with Dolan, Cantwell and ACD behind him. Rest Tronstad for Leeds game. Baker and Buckley today for me
  15. I am very surprised by the uptake in walk on's all season even for TV game. I was surprised by the Sunderland game walk on's figure of over 8k. Didn't expect that at all. given the price and TV game. on the Burnley game, you could have moved some Burnley fans after we sold them their ticket to accommodation more Rovers in the stadium and in the Darwen end, but I wouldn't have given them 4k either, 2k tops with more Rovers fans I think factoring in that Rovers fans whether STH, walk on's fans or even the occasional match going fan have enjoyed watching this team played, Eustace connection with the fans and players, etc has increased the match attendance for this game. I know a couple of Rovers fans who have had booked the day off work to buy a ticket for this game cos they won't buy STH cos they can't enough games to make it value for money.
  16. I would make him one of the highest earners in the squad. I rated him highly
  17. did anyone expect more than 20k Rovers fans on for the game when sales when on sale? early kick off, just after Christmas and on TV. Rovers fans who are walk ons for a few games have been great all season and its good to see Secondly, I wouldn't have give them all the Bottom tier either. I would have given them 2k then you have had split the bottom half of that stand
  18. well firstly, people should buy the correct ticket first time, secondly, its a few seconds to check them thirdly, get there early to avoid the possible queues
  19. you have watch enough of Hedges to not keep asking those questions. You have been very clear that you don't rate Hedges and wouldn't offer him a new contract
  20. no cos they are professional footballers who played at the second highest level of English football. Yes they aren’t the greatest footballers in the world but have played in Championship football and have forged pro career. They are squad players at this level but you used word like crap alot in discussions on pro players and some playing in PL football. You might not rate them but professional managers and head coaches over the years have done
  21. Of course they will be ticket checks. They are still checking now
  22. Apart from Sigurdsson, we should keep everyone in the squad. We need left winger, striker and centre back
  23. How much has he been fit to start games under Eustace? Not enough.
  24. Winner against Oxford this season
