well I'm entitled to my opinion Wheelton Blue, just like you are. Gueye, Ohashi, Beck, Weimann, Batth, Ribeiro all good signings, Karbgo pleased with what I have seen so far. Toth, ACD, Woodrow not good enough, Cantwell, seen bits but not enough so far, Sanderson and Forshaw done ok, Dennis want to see more, Do you have an idea? probably not exactly why I said that we need to do behind the scenes videos, showing it or showing how we recruit players or transfer video like we did when we signed Gueye and Ohashi but more detail and in depth.

Not good enough, not creating enough, too deep and not enough balls into the box for me, when you got Ohashi and Gueye on the pitch, too slow in possession. not enough pressure on their goal for me. Cantwell and JRC forced 2 smart saves from Johannsson tonight, we didn't do enough shots or chances created. on their goal, stupid pass from Hyam, no reason to take such a risk. Subs no impact attacking wise. my team for Saturday is Pears; Brittain, Hyam, Carter, Ribeiro; Travis, Tronstad; Dennis, Ohashi, Dolan; Gueye

I suggested you read the post properly, here is my exact words "I do think Gestede has done well in the head of football operations role this season in terms of recruitment," On the transparent point like bringing in new scouting staff or going behind the scenes transfer deadline day video, or what other changes he has done at the club behind the scenes. Plus this key part of his job, I do think Gestede should have done an interview post the January window with Rovers TV, Radio Lancs and and Lancs Lancs. I also think that he or the CEO should have done an interview with Rovers TV post Eustace leaving to explained what the situation was, why Eustace left and the process of the next head coach would be plus the quality they were looking for.

I think it was team effort with Park, Gestede and Owen being responseible for the signings and Eustace getting players like Baker and Weimann. we wanted Karbgo in the summer according to reports, think he has shown plenty of potential. Was Eustace ever going to get players in like Bamford or McBurnie or Wallace really? realistic not or in the case of Wallace, no way was Mowbray letting him go when he was appointed there

I'm surprised by Dennis not starting but here a thought that Ohashi and Tronstad can start 3 games back to back. why? what we don't know can Tronstad start back to back games in 4 days given he is just back from injury, same with Ohashi I agree, I'm not convinced by him so farr Mowbray did for 2/3 of a season when we were challenging for playoffs/top 2.

Is Toth ready for championship? I dont know. Is it worth the risk

No surprised we gone to back 3 after being bullied

great question. I think personally we need someone with greater experience in that role and experience in the Rovers's head of football operations who has dealt with agents, scouting, recruitment, etc. which nothing against Gestede and his role. I do think Gestede has done well in the head of football operations role this season in terms of recruitment, I don't think we have done badly in terms of signings quality players but I do think Rovers did badly in not recruiting a number 1 keeper in the summer. I do think Gestede should have done an interview post the January window with Rovers TV, Radio Lancs and and Lancs Lancs. I also think that he or the CEO should have done an interview with Rovers TV post Eustace leaving to explained what the situation was, why Eustace left and the process of the next head coach would be plus the quality they were looking for. Rovers should be alot more transparent about what the head of football operations role and what Gestede has done since coming in.

agreed there. Are you suggesting that Eustace didn't have final say on transfers? cos I don't that was the case, but in my opinion it was unhappy at not signing his own players targets and didn't have a lot of faith in our scouting team. Eustace wants a full control and that was one of the main reasons he want to Derby.

Yes I do think the set up is right for Rovers or for any football club. The head coach build a team, coaching them and in charge of results, and also gets involve in transfer at the final stage when choosing the player we go for off the shortlist. The head coach needs to trust the recruitment staff and lets them finding the players we need. For example, if the head coach says I need a pacey left winger then let the scouts find players and then present you a shortlist. The head coach watches the clips of each players plus read the scouting reports from our scouts with the director of football and head of scouting then decide on who he(head coach) wants from that shortlist. People? you mean Gestede, Owen and Ismael plus the recruitment staff? a head coach which most are, don't have time to scout players and take trips overseas scouting players, that why you need a Director of football running the recruitment side with the scouts finding and scouting players before allowing the head coach to pick the player off the shortlist present to them. I don't know, but looking at the situation and in my opinion, he took the job and if you look at Unleaded comments about the problems behind the scenes about recruitment and everything. Did you not read them? did John Park and his team do that bad in finding players in the summer? Also when does the head coach have time to scout players and find players?

Lowe was in charge for Swansea game not Ismael

failing? top 6 and you are sacking him. Did sacking him improve result or league position? no it didn't, League position and results went worst have they achieve that promotion? No Islanders200 has added the league positions and league position. So I will say is sacking him whilst in playoff place failure? not for me, WBA panicked again

a head coach that will recruitment mainly mainly to Gestede, Owen and the recruitment team to find the players and trust their judgement

Elliott Jackson's predictable team Pears Carter Sanderson Hyam Brittain Travis Tronstad Ribeiro Dolan Dennis Gueye

Which is nothing but slagged off Rovers supporters at every opportunity cos they won't protest like you wanted they to. What will I be doing, Supporting my team, attending games, etc etc

I haven't said he has done a good job have I but his record is much better than you give him credit for but how you can complained about anyone is beyond me to be quite honest. playoffs place with Barnsley, sacked in the playoffs at WBA and 9th at Watford, whilst you r own choice Rob Edwards took his side towards the bottom of the league and couldn't get a tune out of his team despite most of them being in the PL but yet you thought he was the right fit for this job is beyond me. Maybe you could tell us why you wanted Rob Edwards here? His appointment was dictated because he will be head coach and accept that role and fits within what Rovers want whilst Gestede and Owen run the recruitment side of the club. I posted my thoughts of the Derby game post match and on Saturday. Yes Ismael will take some of the blame for Saturday but when your keeper flaps like he did and yours defenders can't do basic and simple defending and let Derby bullied them. The team was better balance when we played 3 the backs than 4 at the backs cos the Derby front 2 Hyam and Carter couldn't deal with it. 3 at the back gave us better balance. The team didn't lack balance after going 3 at the back so please explained and how wasn't it. Saturday defeat was mainly down to the players not defending properly in the first 7 minutes so How don't know how you can't see that but you are entlted your opinion even tho I disagree. Its wasn't Ismael who flapped at the ball for the first or not defending properly for the second goal. It was basic defending for Jesus Christ. no-one said nasty comments RF99 so if you are going to accuse me of something please be accurate, but some fans had problems with how Eustace left and his comments over the Derby approach, You clearly didn't but why am I not surprised with you. On JDT, I can hold my hands up and say I was wrong. On Mowbray, I have been over this issue time after time but sadly you loved going back in time so try to show up were right don't you over you loved for Mowbray.

we have to agree to disagree here, Why would you sack a head coach when in the playoffs place is beyond me but WBA haven't done any better so maybe they should have stuck with him

cos they were all on the unemployed as was your point. How did he failed at WBA when they were in playoffs place? if that's a failure, I give up with you Watford were 9th and done no better since sacking him, so how is that a failure? Cooper was never coming here, he can relax and pick up his salary without the stress and be very careful who his next club is he manages. I don;t think JDT was paid anymore than Eustace was either. I think 600k is more than decent enough salary for our head coach but nowhere will it be for a PL manager who is probably on double that amount.

No I haven't make anything out at all, but that's the way you are looking at my opinion. I have posted the league positions was when WBA and Watford sacked him and posted that neither club have improve since sacking him.

I was very open minded and this is the type of appointment I expected when Eustace left, People like Cooper and Edwards were never coming here when they are still being paid by previous clubs. Its been 2 games and I found some of the comments made by some people on Ismael is way over the top and to be honest some of it laughable comments. I posted my view which is what I said after the match on the way back and since. Plus backed up by others. No its on the players for that loss at Derby for disaster started but of course you and others wanted to dissolved the players of any responsibility and put it Ismael, which it was the case. The 3 at back clearly helped. Plenty of others have said it just not yourself for some reason 🙄. We created 2 brilliant chances and we scored for one. Second half, we didn't put enough good balls into the boxes and our wing backs were too deep and not taking their wing back on and putting a ball into the box.

Neither were coming here when they are being paid PL salaries. So Allardyce, Mowbray, JDT and Eustace were all cheap out work managers that we've rescued off the scrap heap using your words you have How is Ismael cheap? cos he was out of work. so what? He got playoffs with Barnsley, sacked when in the playoffs places at WBA and 9th with Watford. Is that such a bad record. Look at Edwards who couldn't turned around the back spell and had Luton in bottom 3, but you seem very happy to appoint him and you see very against Ismael despite his record being decent enough

I haven't said anywhere he does everything right have I RF99??? The changed to the back 3 on Saturday helps the team and we were better structural and created chances. I made this point on Saturday night also backed by both people on the Arte Et Labore podcast which you mentioned when they agree with your point. They are also with my point that the Players got bullied within that first 5 mins and show no desire. So are we all wrong and you right? you tell me? Looks look at his sackings, sacked at WBA when in the playoffs, is that now a sackable offence? and Watford were 9th, is that now a sackable offence? Have either club done better since he was sacked?

No I'm taking the route of backing Ismael and the players.

you loved calling our fans but what are you actually doing? anything of note?
