My team for this game Pears JRC Hyam Wharton Edun Buckley Morton A.Wharton Hedges Hirst Dolan subs:- Kaminski, Philips, Travis, Gallagher, Szmodics, Dack, BBD

I understand that but the fact remains that Sky are picking almost every game of ours for TV coverage.

It will be interesting to see what sort of bids for BBD in January if we do? I think we will keep him cos no club will offer us what we want to even sell and in the summer no club even got close to an acceptable bid. Keep him and we stand a better chance of Promotion then without him. Also BBD might want to stay for the season and if we get promote sign a new contract here,

I'm expecting Brereton-Diaz to remain here for season. I think we sign 1 or 2 players in January and probably let 3 or 4 go either permanent or loans being the outgoings

The quote was Substancial budget compare to none Parachute payments club. If you look at what those clubs spend then it was. How much was you expecting us to spend?

But why would any TV company to cover games that don’t involve the teams at the top of the league. It does affect me but I just accept that games get moved for TV purposes (or for other reasons like Police reasons or clubs in Europe) and its been like that for 30 years now since I started going to Rovers. Its part and parcel of football nowadays.

Its around 20% of the squad which I don't think is at all alot. We have one of the best academy in the country and category 1 status. Plus one of the best record in English football at producing our own players. I think Adam Wharton need to game time managed very carefully and I would like to see him at least the bench now if not started but I think Buckley and Morton more than impressed against Norwich to be starting the next game. Question is could we go with 2 centre midfielders on the bench.

It has been rumoured that Everton and West Ham are looking at Gyokeres I read a couple of weeks ago. JDT did say last week we didn't have much money to spend. Where he is trying to keep expectations down or possible fees low who knows. I didn't think we would spend 5 million in the summer like Rovers did

Are we really filling so many gaps all at the same time? Batty, Adam Wharton and Phillips are England internationals at their age groups. We should be looking at bringing them through here into our first team. I expecting Phillips to fill Ayala place in the squad but I am expecting Hyam and Scott Wharton to be our seasoned pro come next season if Ayala doesn't stay on for another season which I think he might. On Adam Wharton, I think we need to use him at the right times and and develop him here. On Batty, I think he could step up to being Pickering's back up if Edun does go.

Fair enough I never said it did reduce your validity of your opinion did I? I stand by it would be crazy to sack Smith when Norwich was 5th. On Appleton, I think what Blackpool need is signings and stand by their head coach Appleton.

Deffo keep him. Jon Dahl Tomasson is doing a very good job in the overall circumstances. We are 3rd in the league at the halfway stage of the season. Every single Rovers Supporter would have took that if you would have offered at the start of the season. Yes he has made some mistakes and he has take responsible for them, But equally he deserved praises for bringing youth into the team and having us 3rd in the league. I do feel they were a massive overreaction to the previous 2 results against local rivals which seem to matter more than our overall league position.

Maybe after 30 years off having games moved I have accept it part of football and that is how British football is. Sky and TV companies have been great for British football and raising the profile of the British football. Yes it does cause inconveniences for some fans cos kick off times, changing of days, etc There is no reason for that sort of comments cos I don't agree with you and other posters on different subjects or that I am willing to accept the situation more quickly than others or understand the problems with manufacturing and Logistical problems from the Far East in terms of Shirts for example.

England just keep impressing day by day under Ben Stokes's captaincy

How do these players get from being untested to being test unless we play them?

I was just interesting to see who you would appoint but you avoided the question. No surprised to me. Richardson did a very good job at Wigan given the financial circumstances there and I still think his sacking was very harsh for me.

Lets hope so Booth. He scored one last time

Guys, given that Football fixtures have been moved for the last 30 years for TV coverage since the Sky came into Football. We have also have games moved Police reasons, Cos we played in Europe on Thursday, etc. You should by now that if your team is doing well in the Championship then there is a high chance a number of games will be moved for TV coverage. Just imagine if we get promotion this season and get the Premier League we will have games moved TV coverage, other teams European games and possible other reasons.

I would like an English coach like Emma Hayes in charge, but like I said you had already the question for yourself with your previous post.

Well done to everyone and thanks @Herbie6590for running it.

France 1 Argentina 3

No links I've seen today. Maybe its a sign we won't be signing many. Maybe 1 or 2 signings Max with more going out on loan or permanent I agree with signing a right back. On centre midfield, I think we have enough. on the striker target its unlikely they would start with Dolan and Gallagher performing in the number 9 role

There is here now. He was saying that he was enjoying just being head coach and more time training and getting to know the players more than being involvement in recruitment meetings I wonder if Joe Hilton will become the number 2 if Pears does leave on loan?

My attendance of home games wouldn't be impact by Sky changing the kick off times.

Thrilled and delighted that Southgate will stay on. The players, fans and pundits all want him to stay on as England manager You have already answered your own question with the bit in bold, but she has delivered for the Lioness so fair play to here even tho.
