Until we appoint one of those we will never know. Did we know the Spain manager before Euro 24 but the Spanish FA did and appointed him and back him. What other major footballing nation go down the foriegn route? Did Spain or Brazil or France or Netherlands or Germany or Argentina? Southgate did an amazing job over the 8 years and achieved so much. What did Capello achieved here? Also going foreign again, what does that say our own English coaches when you don't give them a chance to prove themselves and what's the point in the FA building and investing in St. Georges Park when you go Foriegn again. I would give it Potter or Lampard and let them built a team for the world cup in USA and Euros which are held here in UK and Ireland.

What other major footballing nation go down the foriegn route? Did Spain? Or Brazil? Or France? Or Netherlands? Or Germany? Or Argentina? We tried it and we never came close to winning anything.

You have answered your own question really. Potter or Lampard it is then. I still wouldn't be surprise if the FA try to convince Carsley to take the job as it would shown that we are producing and developing our own coaches through the St. Georges set up.

Great test win on a flat pitch. Root and Brook batting, the tempo of their innings and how to play in those conditions were great

A team build around Dolan? Eh?. Who says Cantwell has to stuck out wide? You know players can move inside and move around with Dolan moving out left or ACD can. Players don't need to stick pigeon hole to one area of the pitch and stay there. Also what you seemingly to forget that Cantwell's best form came from the left hand side of the attack under Daniel Farke at Norwich We have a range of options who can play there. Agreed 💯 %

I wouldn't want Tuchel in charge. Think he is too volatile for the England job. It's should be English manager appoint for me. Also Carsley look like doesn't want the permanent England manager job from his comments post match. Don't see Howe leaving Newcastle job right now

23 years ago we appointed Sir Kenny as our manager https://www.facebook.com/share/p/RrDzwA7iy5mcDf4d/

Questions for everyone Matty. Answer all depends what the figures are since Covid. If it's consistent each season then maybe not but questions for Rovers what can they do to attract those adults to buy a ST and why wont they. What's the reasons for that? Is it work commitments or family commitments or struggling financially, etc

Ok thanks for that Matty 👍🏻 Is it that bad really? What would be good figures then? 5k? 6k? 7k?

Different people have different opinions. That's life. You are clearly unhappy by the last 2 games and that's where your focus is instead some others like myself focus on the 9 games we played so far very happy with the start. I expect us to be inconsistent this season where we will have ups and downs. You said we had a good start overall so would you be happy with another 15 points in the next 9 games?

Do we have the previous Adult season ticket numbers for the seasons since Covid?

No no no Abbey lad Cos the weather were plus 30 degree all day. I think we did well on a flat pitch which offered very little..

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
