That's where we currently 3rd in the league. Yet, people want him sack on here. Totally and utterly embarrassing. Time to judge is end of the season. If some people on here was in charge of a football club we would be sacking every few games and having OTT reaction to few results and displays. We need to give JDT the season and the summer to judge from next season. I give you 2 examples. Farke at Norwich.

Herdman has done a very good job with Canada Maybe in 4 years yes. Probably top choice with Graham Potter.

Care to explain? It's been reported by the FA have no plan in place if Southgate was to go. They want him to stay. I and others want him to stay and win something with this group of players trust Southgate and enjoyed playing for him. What happens if your first 2 choices don't want it yet like Howe and Potter? Who then? Lampard or Gerrard? Maybe Steve Holland?

well surely before getting rid you need know who you would go for or whether he even wants the job?

I said at certain times can play out from the back. If teams don't press us high we should. Players like Hyam, Scott Wharton and either Morton or Buckley can play out but it's about players making decisions on the field like Kaminski should no way play that ball to Travis in the second half. Look at Pickford has an example who wouldn't play the ball to Stones or Maguire in certain situations but played it long. That why Gallagher or Hirst or Vale should play as number 9 can try to win the header or at challenge for it. Dack or Szmodics can't. Lets see in the coming weeks and not start over reacting to this. another over the top reaction to 2 very poor results to local teams.

I agree with your first part. I don't agree that Terry Venables or Sir Bobby Robson failed miserably either. Others yes I agree Why would you break up a team including the manager and players who have such a bond and performed very well yesterday? The players trust him. Why would you seriously look at who's out there if you already believe you have the right person for the job? Apart from Howe or Potter who else is performing well enough to warrant it? are either ready for job? probably not but 4 years time after Southgate has hopefully them to winning a world cup or Euro's. Yes Saka was having a very good game but his he running on empty you surely take him off?

I'm pleased you agree with me that we should have played a back 4 yesterday. Brittain played the majority of the time at Barnsley as right wing back. If we are going to back 5 then we need to play 3 centre midfielders and front 2 as strikers not inside strikers or wide forward.

Buckley has had a period of time out of the time and was on the bench so we see over the coming matches but I think Buckley will be part of the squad here. Plus he has signed a 5 year contract only a few months ago. I would drop Travis. Who knows if we will face financial penalties for not playing Morton. All baseless speculation.

JDT has dropped him on form and he was back on the bench yesterday. I think he started at Norwich with Adam Wharton

Capello was an elite club manager but awful with England. I think international football is very different to club management. Southgate has been England most successful manager since Sir Alf Ramsey days. Sir Bobby Robson was another good international manager who got us close in 1990. But since Terry Venables got us to semi final with a good team. I would keep Southgate on to after the next world cup in 2026 then appoint Howe or Potter has his replacement depending on the next 4 years. They might be other possible options in 4 years time. Who knows

JDT has said he wants BBD to stay here. Rovers have offered him a new contract and maybe BBD wants to stay depending whether we get promote. Maybe BBD might sign a pre contract with a Spanish club which clubs are reported by the media to be interested in him. I agree I think Dack will be gone in January

Buckley will be playing regular here. Mowbray is wasting his time here

It's been reported that the FA want Southgate and haven't planned for him leaving.

The fact of the game it was by fine margins why we lost. Simple as. why does it even matter if Southgate would get PL job? maybe he doesn't want to manage at club level.

JDT won't be walking cos he joined Rovers cos of this project and the way Rovers wanted to implement this strategy and project. How was JDT 5th choice or 6th choice given that GB made him his number 1 choice to be our head coach? Any chance of you answering this question cos it's a few times you said this but backed it up with nothing. Rovers have no money despite us being one of the biggest Championship spender without parachute payments. Yesterday Brittain started at right wing back and Hedges at left wing back. When Brittain went off, I would have moved back 4 and gone 4-2-3-1 with BBD up front I wouldn't send any back and I wouldn't overreacted to these 2 very poor results and performances I watched it back this morning, I still don't understand what he wanted from the front 3 yesterday and why BBD wasn't central with Dack and Szmodics just off him.

I like playing out from the back in the right situations. Yesterday at times was suicidal football and the second goal for them was criminal from Kaminski and Travis. Kaminski has to decide when is the right and wrong time to play out from the back like Pickford did yesterday. BBD was poor and I was surprised when took off but looking back he wasn't effective the game at all. I would say this get rid attitude of a head coach who has been in charge 22 games and has us 3rd in the league is totally insanity and utter madness. Also this isn't his project but the club project that Gregg Broughton and Jan Dahl Tomasson have come in to implement. Why not allow JDT the full season and next summer to bring in his own players that fit the style of play he wants to play here and years ago and Rovers are run very different now with a Proper football management structure in place now. It was only a couple of months ago that the players were saying that they were enjoying life under JDT and his coaching methods. Saying its was massive different to his coaching methods

Yesterday he started with Brittain on the right and Hedges on the left no chance. Buckley should be playing in the team here as first choice with Wharton or Morton or both if we switch to formation to play 3 in centre midfield.

Saka was shattered and that probably the reason wise I don't this team as a failure full stop but a team that the fans love and feel pride in supporting every game. We lose to France on fine margins. Maguire's header goes in inside of hitting the post and Giroud scores him which took a deflection of Maguire. Cos he shattered maybe? Fans don't have access to this data and etc? Why does it matter if Southgate would get a top Premier League job? I also don't think Southgate has wasted this talented crop of players like previous managers including Sven, Capello, Hodgson and McClaren did. He is our most successful England manager since Sir Alf Ramsey and he should continue another 4 years and leave after the World cup 2026 in USA, Canada and Mexico. Also Mourinho shouldn't be anywhere near the England manager job.

I don't think this side is worse than last season at all. How was JDT 5/6th choice? we spend 5 million and kept BBD. Hardly anything is it in the grand scheme of things. One of the highest spenders in the league weren't we? just wrong Gav!

Dack got a goal but he was close cos I wanted to bring Dolan in but its where can he play cos I want Hedges, Gallagher and BBD in my starting 11. Dack dropped too deep at times today and that annoyed me cos we weren't getting anywhere. I was annoyed by how we played BBD, Dack and Szmodics today, cos I didn't understand one bit. If people want him out then that's their opinions. You and I have very different opinions and we are still backing and believe in JDT. Travis need dropping and I would drop him now for next few weeks games. He need to earn his place far too early for talk that his days are numbered here.

Gutted about tonight with England but we lost that game on fine margins and we shown tonight that we are very good team that will only get better under Southgate. Southgate is the right manager to manage this squad to the next world cup 2026 in USA, Canada and Mexico. We have a good young team with exciting attacking players like Foden, Bellingham, Saka, Rashford. We don't need to start ripping up what we started but instead back it and keep improving the team. France aren't anything special. No interested in the world cup and probably won't watch another game till the final depends who it is

I still believe in JDT and what he wants to build here. We are well above where I thought we would be. Very disappointed by today's terrible result but still faith in JDT and I do feel that he will take us to PL if people give him time and patience and allow him to build the team he wants here. I do think he has to go back to playing 4-2-3-1 formation and drop the 3-4-2-1 formation. Brereton did nothing at game. I wouldn't built the team around Dack either.

We need to look at bringing in right back who can play where Brittain is injured or need replacing down to form

Come on England

I have mentioned JDT's decision with how he played the front 3 and lack of formation in first half and even half time and lack of subs at half time.
