Dolan has played there and at times been effect like Norwich away. Brereton's form has come from playing the left not as centre forward were he struggled playing from.

I was talking post Potter now. They need to find the right coach for them. I think Pochettino would be right appointment for them. And they were a few people on here who wanted his out earlier in the season and doubt his ability

The point being his form and goals come from the left side. No reason to make dramatic changes. Keep it simple and what has worked for him and Rovers for the last 2 and half years We tried Dack and Szmodics up front against PNE. He didn't work. We need to what has worked in the 2 months. No reason to change so dramatically when our form in the last 2 months(11 games) has us 7th in the form table. Either Gallagher or Dolan as the 9 with BBD on the left, Szmodics centre and Thomas on the right. Play on the counter more.

BBD is our best player and his goals come from the left so why change it. Then I would play Gallagher up front for the next game. Thomas wide right and Szmodics in the 10 role

Bohely comments to Talksport's Jim White 6 weeks were very supportive and backing Potter. I do wonder whats gone behind the scenes. I want to know what's changed in Bohely and co mindset. Potter was trying to find the formula sadly involved changing the team. It's was difficult situation and I'm not sure the next appointment will find it any easier whoever it is. The club need to stick a plan.

Given everything gone on there in past 9 months I think they need stability everywhere now. I can understand getting rid of Potter based on results but I would like know why Bohely and co. Changed their stance on Potter from 6 weeks ago to Yesterday Arteta did cos of his attitude and behaviour. That was better at Barca Never understood why they signed him in first place. Past it in English football Given what players he had there he was trying to find a way of playing and keep players happy

"I do prefer the left wing so I can cut in on my right foot and shoot, but any of those positions are fine. " https://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/ben-brereton-diaz-interview-blackburn-chile-copa-america-championship fair enough. I would pick on Friday

I don't see why people want to play with 2 number 10's and no proper striker on the bench. BBD wants to play from left so pointless playing him up front. Its got to Gallagher or Dolan I have said before we need another signing but Gallagher is a decent championship striker who will get around 10 goals a season why not Garrett?

Potter agreed to take alot less money then he was entitled to. Potter was searching for the right formula there. I think James shouldn't have been playing at right centre back but at right wing back. Cucurella played left centre back in back 3 before. Agreed on the Loftus-Cheek point The squad is deffo bloated so I do agree there and they seemed no clear transfer plan and and players fitting Potter's tactical style and play/formation. I agree. But the transfer plan seemed unplanned and no clear strategy or idea of what they wanted properly. If you looked at their January signings, I can understand why they signed Enzo Fernández and João Félix but what they really needed was number 9 striker. Brentford striker Toney would be ideal but the situation with Lukaku and Aubameyang needs sort properly out now. Potter had input into signings and he brought Paul Winstanley with him from Brighton to be co-director of football there with Christopher Vivell. Bohely should have kept Petr Cech on as Sporting Director for the first year there so he and his other owners could learn the ropes. Getting rid of so many key personal so quickly has also led to this massive problems there. Bohely 6 weeks ago backed Potter and results weren't much better than now, So what has changed so much given his comments on Potter only 6 weeks ago. Bohely needs to allow allow Vivell and Winstanley to recommend who to appoint as next head coach there. For me, there is 3 clear candidates who are Julian Nagelsmann, Mauricio Pochettino and Luis Enrique for the job. I'm sure they will be others but I can't comment on them as don't know enough about them

Interesting timing by Chelsea with the Liverpool game on Tuesday. Chelsea coach Bruno Saltor has been put in interim charge Feel for Potter as I hope he would be successful there before possible replacing Southgate as England manager. I wouldn't be surprised to see Chelsea appoint either Pochettino or Nagelsmann. I wonder if Chelsea sacked Potter cos they want to appoint either one of those before Spurs do. Potter has gone favourite for the Leicester City manager job already. That didn't long did it

I don't find his commentary cringeworthy at all. I guess if that bothers so much then turned the sound off or watch the game on different channel which I believe you can with how you watch them. Maybe watch Bein Sports or PL tv

Dolan can play the 9 role when we want to pressed teams. Norwich at home would be one. Yet you want to move BBD from his left side position to a number 9 when he scores goals from and where he wants to play

I said that Pears should keep the goalkeeping shirt after the way he performed since coming into the team.

I was talking about when JDT picked Ash Phillips in the 3rd game of the season along side Ayala against WBA. fair enough, I look forward to seeing them I prefer Szmodics at the minute cos of his energy and work rate. Brereton's goals and strength is playing from the left and cutting in. Why can't Travis or Garrett break into the box or Thomas/Hedges coming in attacking the back post or one of the full backs. Dolan is great at pressing from the front and that's his strengths. His performance against Norwich was as pressing forward

Not for me. He keep faith with Pears when it would be easy to bring back Kaminski, same with JRC and Brittain.

Newcastle were fantastic today and where on the game from minute 1. Joy to watch for a neutral fan. Manchester United were truly awful today Still one of the best commentators in the UK Football. 31 years commentating on the Premier League is such a great and awesome achievement.

The decision should have been made quicker. I can tell from one replay he was onside. It was clear as day. Plus like I said the lack of clear communication to fans inside the stadium is another massive problem. Poor today but after last week comeback against Spurs I expect a much better performance. I thought they would stick with him to end of the season then change then. It will be interesting to see who they go for. Sacking Rodgers and his 2 coaches would say they have someone lined up to come in with 2 coaches.

But he has played them. He could have played Pickering at centre back with Edun at left back but didn't. He picked Phillips. On Wharton, I don't think its about fancied him but that JDT hasn't been happy with his attitude or training so he has been dropped. I'm sure you seen posts from a couple of posters outlining the reasons why JDT has dropped him. So I don't know why you think that

You have to put in quality balls in the box not just put the ball in. Would like to see midfielder or full back getting in the box also cos sometimes its 2 or 3 players in the box. JDT has been brave since taking the job and playing Vale, Phillips, Garrett and Wharton in games where other head coaches would take the safe option

Put Garrett in then. on the striker I think we need someone with pace who will stretch the play and run in behind then if we want to bring in another striker then a different type like target man or fox in the box type.

watching Brighton and Brentford is a good watch for a neutral fan. watched Sky highlights of their game and it was brilliant watch.

based one game where we didn't that badly and deserved a point at least. Surely you based it on period of games not just one game

Well clearly JDT and his staff have been happy with him and his performances otherwise he wouldn't be playing. JDT since he was appointed here said the team comes first and he said in the first team meeting with the players.

Yes could do but I would pick Garrett cos he can made tackles and pass the ball decent enough I want his pace on the wing and he has been good before yesterday Yes I would start him. Not bothered about shirt numbers. Get the ball in the box and he will score goals like QPR and Stoke goals shows. It wasn't fluky at all but it was meant. I watched right in front of me at the time. I ain't surprised by your unwillingness or acceptance that Gallagher ain't as bad as you would like people to believe and you are unwillimg to give him any credit at all

VAR made the right decision with the West Ham goal there but over 3 minutes to make the decision is one of the biggest problem with the system
