All our attacking players were off form for the Preston game and Preston did exactly what we did to Burnley. Sat deeper, solid defending and counter attack us.

I have no idea to be honest As this says both side claimed victory. What a bloody mess it is.

Tuchel supposedly in talks to take over

Nope. I have look at the overall season and then look at the last 2 games which we lost. Evaluating the entire season as my opinion. So would you take another 15 points from our next 9 games? You just don't get it. Every game at this level is hard. No easy in life. Happy with the first 3 games not the last 2 away but that wont change my opinion we had a good start to the season. I can understanding that gameplan and stay in the game until Cantwell and others can influence the game from the bench. It's why I wouldn't have start Cantwell at Coventry but at Plymouth. Cantwell isn't ready back to back games

Doesn't really matter to be honest. Samba number was 4 here during his time. Tugay wear squad number of 3 and 5. The best midfielder I have ever seen in Xavi wear 6 as shirt number. in the all grand scheme its doesn't matter about what number they wear on their shirt.

Good post there @ruggles1995

No its called forming based on the entire 9 games we have played in the league which we have 15 points from those games. So if I had offered you 15 points from our first 9 games you wouldn't have accept that? I will criticise when needed but I won't just criticise for the sake of it and will judge it the way I see fit. Being 8th after 9 games and with 15 points on Board, I would have accept it and happy with it. if you offered me Rovers would be around 39 points from the first 23 games I would accept that and bank it. Its nothing about cliches but this league has proved more enough times that being pre match favourite to win means nothing. So away point at Burnley with 10 men or point at Norwich after being 2-1- down is crap now? well at least we know where you stand. Yes the last 2 away games haven't been good in terms of performances but overall I am very happy with our start and points total. If you aren't then fair enough

A 6 is a defensive midfielder. https://www.coachesvoice.com/cv/number-six-position-role-in-football/

So you had the same opinion on Carter when he played right back in previous 4 games in 3 of those we kept a clean sheet? Or this reaction specifically to the Plymouth game performance? If Weimann had scored that early chance we could very well be talking about a different performance and result. Plymouth might have not perform after. We simply don't know. I dont agree it's a negative mindset but its about keeping it defensively solid and keep that clean sheet given yourself a chance to win the game

Cos I and others have look at all 9 league games in our opinions not just the last 2 games. No I don't think it's a valid point at all cos any team can beat anyone at this level like Plymouth did beating Sunderland the other week, how many of you lot gave Plymouth a chance. You mean the last 2 away games? Did you have the same concerns in the first 2 away games or the way Eustace approach the Burnley game after we went down to 10 men?

You have your opinion and I have mine and we don't agree. The fixture list is the fixture list. Get on with it No one has said he is the messiah so its just piece of using hyperbole to make your point

I would give him a new contract cos rated highly and think he will move us forward

We are 8th in the league. So let's get proper perspective here instead with some people are yet again doom and gloom after back to back defeats instead of looking at the bigger picture like myself or @M_Bare doing.

I noticed you missed our 2 away draws against teams now in top 6. No surprised as it doesn't fit with your narrative does it? We are bloody 8th in the league. Wheels come off comment? Totally and utter embarrassing from you but you what I ain't surprised with you. 😂😂😂

Eustace has delivered 4 home wins on the bounce and we are joint 3rd top goalscoring in the league. Yes we haven't got the last 3 away Eustace hasn't it right. We got a good point at Norwich and at Burnley away were good and got the point we at least deserve if not the win..

It would have been a very different game if Weimann had scored in the first few minutes. He should have scored. On the winner goal, Pears didn't even put a hand out to stop Whittaker's header either. I can understand why Eustace wanted to keep it tight for 60 mins and stop their players influencing the game then go for it attacking them. I also think we need to get crosses into the box when we got Gueye in the team and hold the ball up. We didn't enough of this. I would like to see more attacking front 4 where we take the game to Swansea whilst remaining defensive solid.

I did think Slot would play Trent as the 6 next to McAlister in the midfield 2. I was wrong, hold my hands

That's down a number of different factors as always picking a team Never said that That's your opinion and we don't agree

I rated Dolan highly and I would offer him a new 4 years contract. Hedges is someone I rated and I think some people low ball his quality he has. No one was under rated him when he scored at Norwich away or last season at Watford

I would give both new contracts

I can named for keeper, back 4 and midfield 2 but beyond that I am undecided to get the best out of Gueye he needs crosses or balls down the side of the defence. He needs to play regular to be judge and currently he isn't. Since his sending off, his confidence has dropped and we need him to get that back.

We need to play to him and get crosses into the box more. Where I like our wide players and full backs more into the box and created chances for him to score

I fully understand and your point about me not explaining myself about why I disagree with your opinion, so I hold my hands up for that. I am disappointed about losing the game and I would have taken the point after JRC scored. I felt Eustace should have taken the point and Travis should have said on the pitch the same.

I have remove the down vote now considering your response and the way I think we found some common ground even we might disagree on what the front 4 should be. I can tell you what the back 7 should be but I am completely undecided what the front 4 should be for the Swansea game
