not good to hear

How knows whether we would stay up or not if we got there. I don't think its low as you do. Of course you should try to stay there and give yourself the best chance but I wouldn't expect reckless spending but good quality signings of 6 or 7. I very much disagree there. You should give them their opportunities to see if they can step up whilst adding 6 or 7 quality players Forest transfer policy was chaos last summer with different players being signed. No proper transfer policy. January transfer business looked much better and to a plan.

I will stand by my opinion on this. How many of Brentford was good enough before they got there like. My approach is sensible and logic. Anyway lets reach the PL first before we get ahead of ourselves

Not an issue here for me. Potter has huge job there to sort it the playing squad who will part of the squad or not. Its a fair point they spend loads of money but not a striker. They had Lukaku last season who didn't perform and was lazy and disinterested. Didn't get why they loaned him for such a low fee I'm not sure whether Potter has sole charge of transfers and which players are signs or whether its like transfer commitment style system with Bohely, Vivell, Winstanley, Macauley and Potter on who decides which players they signed. Its will take time and patience to gel such a squad with lots of new signings, different nationalities of players, learning and moving to new country will take lot of adaptability and time to settle in. I'm sure he working hard and if he turns it around there and make a success he would be in line to replace Southgate as England manager when he goes as long with Newcastle manager Eddie Howe

I never said we shouldn't make any signings but I would make 6 or 7 quality signings that would improve the squad but I would like to give this squad a chance to prove whether they step up in PL. Similar to what Brentford did when they got promote. no one is accepting defeat before you start but I wouldn't make wholescale changes to a squad that got us to the PL but give them a chance to prove whether they are good enough whilst making 6 or 7 quality signings.

I think we need to make 3 or 4 changes just to freshen it up. I do agree that others that the league is more important and getting a playoff place should be main priority this season Given that Adam Wharton isn't part of the squad that travelled to QPR and is based at St Georges park with rest of the squad I don't see how he starts this game

Adam Wharton was playing today

How did Adam Wharton play today?

I would give the bulk of this squad the chance to PL football if we get promote but lets get there first.

Chelsea need to stand by Potter and back him. They have signed lots of players so clearly will take time to gel. Training sessions must be awful when you got over 30 players to work with. Bohely and his merry men need to back him. Also its great to see Chelsea supporter trust come out and call out the people sending deaths threats to Potter and his family. uncalled for and these people need finding and jailing for it

no way should we do a forest style spending if promote

he was tracking their opposition full back/wing back as his job.

Given it was midweek game isn't ideal for every STH or walk on fan. Given that this Saturday dinner time and it will be easier for fans to attend(hopefully). Attendances might only get worse depending on next TV deal cos the EFL is considering streaming 3pm kick off or even having more TV games at weekend and showing more lower league games on

Some very good points there made. If Mowbray has lot of options he mind got muddled like the previous season when he had 30 players in the squad.

Its a decent idea but one that has been done before like last season I got my parents tickets for the Stoke game through that sort of scheme

2 - 3 now

I do feel that we wait until we know what league will be in. Good chance of the playoffs then anything can happen. If we in the PL we might need a few more signings then if we still in the championship. I do feel that JDT should be given a new contract this summer tho.

Rovers are scouting and researching for signings for next season whichever league we are in

QPR without Dykes and Willock are a poor team but appointing Critchley was a massive mistake by them. Ainsworth will keep them up but he will need some new signings to improve next season Travis's pass to Szmodics was outstanding and if Kevin De Bruyne did it the media would be mentioning it all day long. JDT has talk in the past after having players who can run in behind and have pace in the team.

Its interesting there that Mowbray is only head coach there and isn't in charge of transfers

Rovers should be looking to get a bumper crowd for the Norwich game on Good Friday. 10 pounds for Adults, 5 pounds for concessions and pound for under 16's. I think you will have over 12k Rovers fans on that game regardless of it being on TV and early kick off. Big game against one of our league rivals and top side I can see your point but for one off game I don't see the need for Season ticket holder to be given a discount for the club shop or even the concourse speaking as season ticket holder.

You made a very good and excellent point there that the O'Brien if we did sign him would be our best midfielder. EFL make their case on the same day. Hopefully a decision within 24 hours. The EFL needs to reform his transfer decisions procedure and decisions on transfers and if they are late or not should be done and sort within 48 hours by independent person or committee of 3. This has gone on for a month. I'm pleased Rovers have kept pursing it and given what we spent on legal fees it proves some people opinion that they are just done for show. They clearly think they have a case and the lawyers we are using must think so aswell. Given that Forest have spent what they have and signed over 25 players shows their chaos transfer policy. Yes Rovers would be much stronger with O'Brien in the squad than not

Rovers should be opening contract talks with JRC and offer him a new 4 year contract.
