Depends on Gallagher form. People keep saying send him back. Can we is the question and also does Hirst want to stay here for the season or not? I would keep him here. weak midfield with no holding midfield and we will get outnumbered in midfield and Cardiff will play with 1 striker so do you really need 3 centre backs? Cos the ref was another appalling official from the PGMOL. Its time ex pro's or players who don't make the level become refs as they would understand the game much better

You still going on about this? We aren't going to agree so I not getting involved again over Hirst. We won't agree. end of!

These posts are my opinion from a passionate Rovers fan who will continue and support this club through the good and bad times and will never give up on Rovers or stop being positive about Rovers full yime. We don't agree so we need to agree to disagree here Plus you don't sell your best players on the cheap. you would have done.

no thanks. not interested in any bets from anyone

looking forward to this game and we need to carry the performance we shown in the first half. Quick tempo with our passing and the front 4 with plenty of movement. I also told you that Gallagher is 1st choice for the number 9 striker position for me.

Tom Sutton joined from Oxford. Luke Griffin from Hibs, Gus Williams from the Welsh FA, Luke Evans from Swansea, Paul Aladejare joined from Arsenal. Not a set of misfits that you suggest is it? Rovers advertised the job on their website and on a number of recruitment websites which is the normal surely?

I want to see wins on the board. Yes I would like to play attacking football and we witness that in the first half about boro where our passing and tempo was back to the way it was before. Quick, intensity and plenty of movement. so you got your opinion and that its. Whilst mine is different and based on looking at the player through a number of years.

I got the result out of my system as soon as I was at work that night. I don't carry angry or disappointed for long after bad results. Yes he is there. I think he had a trial where he did well before he signed here Very good points made here Paul. One of the best post I've seen on here for a long time

I see this as transition season while the new footballing management settle in and we improve and grow our recruitment. I want like promotion with 2 to 3 seasons similar to Norwich under Webber and Farke, but when we get promote I want to stay there and not be yo-yo club but follow Brighton and Southampton blueprint Mowbray has gone, Rovers have moved on from his time here, time you did. Its a yellow card at best as @DaveyB posted on here the rules Yes me and number of other Rovers fans reported the Forest keeper for inciting the Rovers fans with his actions to the Rovers dedicated police officer Susan Moore. I also contacted Rovers and Rovers fan forum member @only2garnersabout it. Samba was spoken to about his actions. Like I said he If I have a problem I will do something about and contact the correct people whether its Football, or other things Time and patience is given when you trying to implement a new footballing strategy to make us get promote and stay there not be a yo-yo club. each person will judge what they want for themselves and each to their own.

Yesterday football now. Clubs have recruitment departments with head of recruitment and Director of football in place now.

Kaminski JRC Ayala Hyam Pickering Morton Garrett Hedges Dack Brereton-Diaz Gallagher Subs:- Pears, Wharton, Wharton, Travis, Markanday, Hirst, Leonard

I have confidence and faith in the Footballing strategy Rovers have and the people we have in key positions with the Football management side of the club. Yet again, I told Hirst's strengths are having watching the Stoke game and videos of him before he signed here. His strengths are there to see if you watch them and the way he like to play If I think he is dud I would say so. I not bothered or worried if I made a mistake and I ain't afraid to admit I was wrong. BBD wasn't unusual case but he was barely starting and playing. after Covid he was a different player and one who has become a fan favourite and proven he has quality for this level. JDT is a winner and you can see that if you look at his playing and management career history. Why not allow his time and patience to build his own team and stop being so judgemental and expect promotion within his first season. Farke took time there to get it right and look at the success and the team he built there

Promotion was the pre season expectations for most on here despite what people are saying who are calling for him to sack which is totally baffling and nonsense. I thought we might make top 6 this season if the players performed well enough. We have replaced Nyambe and Lenihan have been replaced and upgraded by my opinions. You have to accept that the Footballing side of the club has had massive turnover in terms of backroom where we had make 3 key appointments to the footballing side of the club in DoF, Head Coach and head of recruitment. Then bringing first team recruitment staff and they have been in place a couple of months. Also Mowbray has gone and it take you moved it. We need to focus on the future and building a club and squad that will stay in the PL when we get promote like Brighton and Southampton have. I don't want to be yo-yo club. I was talking to a work colleague last night when I got to work and I was talking about fans not having patience and allowing time for the head coach to build his own squad and play the style he wants overall. He agree and he fully expected that his club would be the same when Klopp when goes that it would need time and patience for the next appointment to build his own team and signing Do I really need to agree with a Qualified and experience referee? No I don't. It was nothing incident just get on with the game and stop mothering these players. It meant to be professional sport. Also the standard of refereeing in this country is a pathetic and way below where it stop be. constant mistakes every game and in the PL VAR decisions are a joke. Time the EFL and PGMOL focus on improving the standard of refereeing in this country and less time thinking of streaming games and lowering stadium attendances. Also @DaveyBpost shows it should have been yellow card at best.

Yellow card should have given at best. if that. Its a man game. get on with it. Buckley shouldn't have done it granted. On Garrett, we won't agree on him so I won't debate it with you First half we were very good and some players outstanding like JRC and Pickering had a good game. We need energy and people who could close down and made tackles. Dack and Morton couldn't impact the game after the sending off. Who would Markanday come on for?

Despite the fact he spend most of career playing from the right at Spurs and played here.

Maybe that what JDT is saying public but what is he saying inside the dressing room that matters not what he says to media. Our recruitment department has been in place for a couple of months. Time to judge them is in 12 months not in crazy and mental January transfer window. Also you comments about the recruitment department just using spreadsheets to sign players is wrong and doesn't understand how Rovers scout and sign players. Rovers scout players live before signing them. I know this We can all use stats like that who we can judge over a season and the league table Brandon Thomas Asante is a good player and has shown that they are quality players in the lower leagues and clubs should be looking there

Robbed by the ref tonight for nothing incident. Its time refs used common bloody sense. Anyway I'm not going focus on the waste off space refs tonight. I was very happy with our performance in the game. First half we played very well with quick tempo passing and not slowing the passing down. Morton and Buckley were very good. The movement of the front 4 were excellent and we scored an excellent goal by Hedges. Gallagher should have scored aswell. Disappointed by the first goal we conceded. Poor by Kaminski. Second one was good finish. We continued to try to play our football and played to the end. Just couldn't find the killer ball to get equaliser today. Very proud of every player tonight. JRC was outstanding and in good form. JDT got the subs of Dack and Morton right as they couldn't get hold of the ball or make tackles and they were shattered. Bringing on Garrett and Travis was right cos they give us energy and ability to make tackles. Dack isn't a centre midfielder either. Let's stick together and go and beat Cardiff on New Year day now. COYB!!! 🔵⚪️

We are winning games tho and of course the primary objective but we need to follow our strategy we have by bringing on young players from our academy, being smart in recruitment and allowing them proper time to get players in. The recruitment team has been together a couple of months and not had a transfer window to bring players. On BBD, we were right to keep him as we didn't received an offer suitable and clubs low ball us with those offer. He is worth far more to us then those offers would be delighted if we sign Stewart. Don't know how much he will cost but the contract negotiations have broken down between him and the club.

You can't judge players on cameos and maybe some of you might have learnt from BBD situation when most of you wrote him off based on cameos and not a run of games. Let JDT build his team and how he wants to play to the players then add 3 or 4 players in the summer then I'm sure we see his style he wants to play here and Rovers fighting for promotion now. Fans need to be patience and let the Footballing management do their jobs. Oh well, not to worried Dan. I stand by my opinion on JDT and he will bring success here sadly they will be quite alot of you having to admit you were wrong in the next couple of years. @imy9, you have made some greats points in the last 2 posts on here and I agree with them

Looking forward to tonight game and watching Rovers live again. Rovers to win 2-1 with Gallagher and BBD scoring. Yet, we are 3rd in the league with a new footballing management structure in place where the head coach and DoF have been 6 months, recruitment staff about 2 to 3 months so I would say we are well ahead where I thought we would be. JDT need time and patience to build his own team playing in the style he wants us to. I see this season has transition season in the long term plan of getting promote and staying there.

Markanday isn't a striker. He role is playing from the right, cutting in onto his left foot. He does have skills and some pace.

Yes, we need a coach who develop our young players and keeps bringing through academy players since this is key part of footballing strategy would you sell BBD in January when we are in good position to make the playoffs this season? stats and data is playing a very important part of Football recruitment but Rovers will still scout the player live in the stadium before making the signing. I think we need a couple of signings in this window. A right back who would be loan for one someone like Cody Drameh and maybe an replacement for BBD if he leaves or if Rovers send Hirst back someone like Callum Lang from Wigan or Robin Hack from Arminia Bielefeld or Plymouth Ryan Hardie.

thanks for answering the questions. Fair points. JDT does currently focus on making us organising a side. Maybe he might go to an attacking style in the coming weeks and depending on signings in January and players back fit 100% now. I think Szmodics has been decent enough and he has scored some goals and assists a couple.

Rovers would have scouted him at Portsmouth where he had a fairly good scoring record and done well. I don't know who the second choice was.

wrong again but this tripe just get posted by people. I posted criticism of the club when I feel fit and it needed. I don't get mad, angry or stewed for days after any losses or performances. Sadly, in life there is bigger and more important issues to focus on for me. Markanday is wide attack whilst Hirst is number 9 striker. They played very different position. Dolan is injured for the next 2 games
