As a front 2, its doesn't seem right to me, You want a target man with a number 10 goalscorer/pacey striker/pressing forward(Ohashi) or playmaker as number 10 with a striker who makes runs in behind How much you set up on Friday night team selection and formation wise?

I haven't had any inside info regarding Rovers since we were set to sign Steven Caulker before we backed out of it. That's it. deffo

if you are asking before we played one game under Ismael, think I can see why he was chosen as Eustace's appointment if the question is based on after 5 games, then results and performance suggested not. Anything else Matty?

confident from where? You thought the other week Ismael was being told to play Forshaw which hasn't been the case has it?

Woodrow and Ohashi has a front 2 doesn't make sure unless you press them high I think Ohashi and Gueye as a front 2 is a better partnership or Ohashi and Cantwell

Look at the record before Eustace, it was 2 wins in the last 11 games after winning back to back games before that. Lowe and the players got 2 wins from 2 games before we were battered by Swansea, since then our confidence has gone and we were all drawn into a false dawn and the last 6 results have been very poor. Losing key players like didn't help that and our confidence has gone, plus if we don't scored the first goal we almost lose the game and its is rare we ever come back to win games under different head coaches, why that is I don't know. Pompey had 2 shots and won the game, similar to Derby. Our players confidence is very low down to results and I think we got into a false dawn after Lowe's 2 wins and if we score first, we look good and confidence, but soon as we conceded, too many players heads drop and confidence goes. Look at our record away to promoted clubs under 4 different head coaches is nothing more than pathetic, why is that, I don't know why that is or what it down to. Always willing to answer questions from anyone(if that person is on the ignored list then that question won't be answered cos I don't read their posts) if directed at me.

Its only been 5 games, so yes I am willing to give the summer and shape the squad in his own way. Am I disappointed by the start under Ismael? Yes I am apart from the Norwich, Derby bullied our back line and keeper flapping hasn't help Ismael, but these players confidence is low and we need to score first for once, cos at the minute, we aren't doing good enough. Yesterday, we should be winning that game and I was disappointed by that but its another team we conceded first and we don't come back and this symptom has been happening for too long now and it got to stop. So is that not down to the players and them not created that chance or delivering that quality final pass or confidence dropping as soon as we conceded? Ismael wants us to created more chances, more crosses into the box and have more shots at goal, is that really a wrong approach? no cos we haven't created loads of chances but if we ever conceded the first goal under Eustace we tended to always lose, similar to JDT time here. We don't come back into games and pick that point or win that game like other teams do. The Norwich game, picking up a point there was positive with a last minute equaliser. I said pre match that was suprising selection by Ismael. What other team selections has been weird? We struggled under Eustace against bottom 8 teams like We lost to Hull at home when Plymouth with Rooney in charge away or Coventry away being our first lost of the season or Stoke at home?. All near bottom of the league when we played them, so why that? The playoffs have probably gone in all truth sadly but results will decide Ismael's future. The players confidence has gone and has soon as we concede our heads dropped. You could see that at Derby or Stoke. For example, Travis yesterday should be rallying the players yesterday and showing that passion we know he got. We need to win the next game and scoring first would massive help the confidence of the players and the fans aswell.

He wants us to have more possession in the final third and created more chances. I explained to yourself what the game plan was against Cardiff, if you can't see it fair enough, I couldn't care less Previous head coaches? I said the same comments post Swansea game abut Lowe. we won 4 games in last 18 games, Apart from picking Woodrow, how was it an weird team? How can you called anyone, you can't even answered the most basic of questions, like did you have ST for the 24/25 season or tying yourself in knots over your choice Rob Edwards to replace John Eustace. Get yourself into Politics, you fit in well you would I won't ever bet against my team

We haven't played the long ball game tho under Ismael. Eustace's tactics at times were limited and we don't created enough chances and to be fair it doesn't help when Pears flapped like a bird and Hyam/Carter get bullied by Derby's front 2. Most of these players have played in 3-4-3 formation. In Lowe's last game, we got battered by Swansea.

Sheffield United battered Coventry last night.

Wouldn't that be Ohashi to be honest? Yes he did.

I think its what I expected from Rovers. Is it what I would have done? nope. I would offered price reductions and it would be operation fill Ewood and I would offered incentives on club merchandise like free hat, scarf and glove set for any under 12's buying a season ticket or free 20% on a home shirt for all STH. I would go £199 for Riverside, £249 for BBE and Lower Jack Walker stand and £299 for JWO and £339 for JWC. Adults Under 12's would have been £23 all parts for the ground. Will I be buy Season ticket for 25/26 season? You are damned right I will. Me, my bro and nephew will be renewing

Delighted to see Batth back and Beck, no surprise Carter has gone to right back Surprised Woodrow is starting over Gueye. Rovers 2-1 with Ohashi and Carter scoring

Not been on all day. I will be renewing for the reasons I outlined previously on here Each person will make their decision based on their own personal choice.

job done, 6 points out of 6.

prices will be announce tomorrow at 9am

More than willing to answer questions, but I expect it to work the other way but with yourself you either ignored it(like my questions in the recruitment/scouting thread) or don't answer(like what your starting 11 for England in the first world cup game), so there is little point in discussing with you unless you show the same respect and curiously to answer my questions. I have been over and over with you time after time. Do we really need to do it again.

FIFA and UEFA job is to spread the game around and bigger tournament, plus generate more money for FIFA and UEFA to give to these poorer countries to improve and develop. That's their job. The qualifying groups for England have always been easier apart from the odd game. That over 30 years of watching us played at this level. he is playing a deep defence and Latvia playing 5-4-1. What are you really Rogers isn't playing on the wing but as box to box centre midfielder. Bowen is playing on the right

Man Utd are doing it more and more cos STH aren't going to every game. At Liverpool, if a STH can't go, they sell their ticket for that game and get the money for it. food prices are expensive but also the food they served isn't the quality that other clubs serve. Tho Rovers out sourced the food doesn't help

is it such a bad thing increasing the number of the world cup and if these nations are going to develop then they need to play at the highest level I'm looking to the world cup being play in USA, Canada and Mexico. I still remember watching the USA world cup in 1994 as that was the first international tournament I watched.

He is squad player now for me, I'm not saying he should be starting every game but he would be on my bench at least and he gives you hard work, team player, can play in 4 positions and score the odd goal. You need these types of players in your squad and I think having 2 or 3 players who can play 2 or 3 different positions are good assets in a squad. I just think people's thoughts are what he isn't and in factor ignored that he was picked alot of the time by our previous head coaches and people seems to think if Eustace had loads of money he wouldn't have been picked and Eustace would be more attacking where as I don't think interesting, asking me questions expecting me to answer but don't show the same respect and courtesy in answering my questions to you.

Hedges is solid player who was repeatedly picked by the 2 previous head coaches by choice. Maybe that tell you what they think of him as player. Some people focus on what he isnt instead of what he brings the team.

Beck, Pickering, Batth and Hedges all training today

now
