His performance was better than BBD today. BBD was shattered after about 10 mins today. if we had another striker and Thomas then I would replace BBD and Gallagher but we don't

Yes. If we had another striker and Thomas available then they would replace Gallagher and BBD

well Chelsea have made their decision and lets see how it works out.

Pears Britain Carter Hyam Pickering Travis Wharton Dolan Szmodics BBD Gallagher Subs:- Kaminski, JRC, Edun, Wharton, Garrett, Hedges, Leonard

players like Kepa, Mendy, James, Silva, Azpilicueta, Chilwell, Mount, Kante, Chalobah, Kovacic, Pulisic, Loftus-Cheek, Ziyech, Havertz and Gallagher were all there when Lampard was last there Lampard has his own staff and since the takeover, Bohely and his leadership team has had massive cull there and brought in his staff whether in the Medical team or groundman staff or in the executive staff If you read reports from the time he was sacked, they were saying cos he didn't the best out of players like Timo Werner who is no longer there. Players like James, Mount, Silva deffo played very well under Lampard

what a disappointing performance today. I didn't like the starting line up cos I wouldn't have started Hedges or Morton today. Thomas and Garrett or Wharton should have played today. We never started the first half and it was poor performance from us. Only one piece of good play from us in the entire first half which our performance was slow tempo and no urgency to move the ball quickly and no movement again which when we perform like this we don't performed. Hedges and BBD coming deep and no one running in behind from wide areas. The goal come from them exposing the space JRC left when he moves into Midfield as JDT like him to play. Same with their second goal btw. No team press which was disappointing cos Gallagher and Szmodics went to press and the rest of the team didn't. So at half time I expect JDT to make at least one change if not 2 for me. We need Thomas on to run in behind and Someone to replace Morton who was very poor today, but no changes which surprised me. Second half, it was similar for large parts of the game until the subs came on apart from Szmodics who makes some good runs and work very hard. Our best player today for me. We got in some good areas but final ball was poor overall. We did have two chances off the line and we should have scored both to be honest but the overall performance wasn't good enough. Gallagher allowed the a good through ball to run across him instead of finishing it with right side foot effort or left foot effort. Brereton Diaz looked shattered after 10 mins and you have to asked why didn't he get sub at all. Hyam, JRC, Travis and Hedges had poor games. Carter and Pickering decent. Pears not at fault for either goal and his overall performance was good. I still believe that Rovers will make the playoffs and I won't write our playoffs hopes off. They will more twists and turns before end of the season. We need to win the next game and that is Huddersfield away. So I would like to see these changes, Britain for JRC, Wharton for Morton and Dolan for Hedges, I would have picked Thomas aswell but he is unavailable due his parent club. Well done to the over 16k Rovers fans who attend today game. JDT's Blue and White Army 🔵⚪

I think Rodgers would be decent option given he plays attacking football and that is why Spurs fans want. Spurs fans complained about Conte's tactics and not playing the style they want to watch. But Spurs have massive problems with what they do with Sporting Director and whether his ban will still be in place come the summer. I still think Spurs should be looking at Pochettino or Nagelsmann who Spurs have been previously interested in before previous appointments.

Hilton is 23 years old and given that he has signed 2 year contract here will surely meant he will be number 2 next season if we are the championship next season. or number 3 if we reach the PL. We haven't just given our number 3 or 4 choice keepers just be squad fillers for the next 2 years,

From what I have read on twitter seem happy with his appointment. I don't know what being said on their forums as I don't go on their forums. I'm sure it will be discussed by Talksport on the 10pm show which I will listen to Well that's your problem. I haven't said its unique to Chelsea but given Lampard legendary status on the club and the fact that he is fans favourite. there. Its 2 months job for him. Dunn is at Port Vale as first team coach there and Sherwood hasn't managed for over 7 years now so unlikely that would happen. We have options on the club who could do it on interim basis and our Director of football has said he has shortlist if JDT was to leave at any point. I did say that I would keep Potter till end of the season then make a decision. Chelsea didn't do that. Both co-sporting directors recommended to the owners that Potter to be sacked which one of those co-sporting directors was someone Potter took to the club from Brighton. Well they have appointed Lampard now and lets see how he does there. Big Sam at Chelsea? Just imagine the backlash from the fans there instead the owners made an appointment which is short term but popular with the fanbase whilst they bring in permanent signing in the summer. They are interviewing 7 candidates from reports. I was big fan of Lampard as a player and I don't think his managerial record at Derby and Chelsea is as bad as some on here think. Granted Everton experience wasn't good enough.

It is the same club with different owners but Lampard knows alot of the players and staff there. No I am not doing this for any attention but its based on my opinion. I don't know why you post such things when I have no interested in attention seeking but I am here to talking and discussed Rovers and Football topics. Maybe Lampard would have done the same as Tuchel but we will never know. He has Quarter-finals to play in the champions league I believe. I won't be watching it live either btw. Yet Everton has still in the relegation dog fight tho. Dyche has done well there so far but the next 9 games for all the teams will be totally dogfight for all teams.

Its a very interesting debate and guess it will depends what division we are in next season. If we are PL then I think both would stay but if we are in the championship then I think one will move on with Hilton moving the number 2 keeper perhaps

no surprised it has been picked by Sky here. The person who picked games for Sky must be Rovers fan.

Rumours that Spurs might appoint Brendan Rodgers as their next head coach. I wonder what Spurs fans think of that?

Well look at Chelsea fans reacted to this news and its positive news and gives the fans someone to get behind now for the rest of the season. He is a Club legend there and fans will be onside. This allow the owners and sporting directors time now to conduct interviews and find the right manager for next season. Most of the shortlist Chelsea won't take the job until the summer for different reasons. of course Lampard might want it long term but they are interviewing 7 different candidates and from reports Lampard isn't on that list, but if he does well he could end another PL club like Leicester City or West Ham in the summer.

I haven't defending Lampard tho but point out when this appointment makes sense Different owner with different way of running the club. Gets the fans back onside and something they could unite behind until end of the season. Wise is president of Italian club Como. No I didn't read his quotes Well that's your opinion and others will agree with you or not

Chelsea appointing Lampard as interim manager till end of the season makes sense to me. Know the club, some of players and still fan favourite there. Allow the owners and Sporting Directors time to bring in a new manager in the summer. If Lampard does well there then it's might cause an issue especially if they win the champions league

Newcastle were very good tonight. The team understands their roles and Howe has done excellent job there. West Ham's defending was awful tonight. WHU fans aren't happy tonight with them ringing in to TalkSPORT 10pm show

I think Forest will go down along with Bournemouth. Then between Leicester, Southampton and Everton for that last spot

I can fully understand your points about caring responsibilities cos I have similar responsibilities at my home.

Fair enough Hasta. I did misunderstand his post.

I understand @roversfan99points he made. They valid points.

Is this aim at me? If so, clearly not true. I just pointed out the clear facts that playing 2 games on Good Friday and Easter Monday are the norm at this level of football

Rumours are Cooper will be sack as Forest head coach shortly Leicester City look in total mess. Need a manager ASAP.

Just pointing out double Easter fixtures are the Normal in the Championship
