Not really as we are 2 years by the summer. We have to be smart in recruitment and look to sign early with signings this summer targeting quality free transfers and low cost signings. Brittain quality was well know to anyone who watched Championship. Hardly Mowbray's list is it since the current recruitment team wasn't even at the club then.

Needs improvements in the final third for sure but defensive we have been quite solid. The work for this summer recruitment is under away now I bet. Every transfer window is a tough one. Hedges has scored this season.

PNE wanted 8 million pounds last summer after Boro wanted him. I'm starting to think we should sell Gallagher in the summer now and bring in 2 strikers this summer. I would be looking at Josh Maja who we almost signed 18 months ago this summer on a free

I wouldn't call us a negative team at all but a very well drilled team when defending but need improves in attacking areas and scoring goals. Yes I would be looking for minimal of 2 strikers and 1 left winger signings in the summer.

It was reasonable question to ask on a Footballing messageboard and we are talking football. If people don't want read then don't read it but there is no squabble going on just a debate/chat on football.

When you appointing a manager/head coach who look for someone who suits the squad and what the strengths of the team is. lets see if Southampton have someone lined up first to take over. No idea on Schreuder but lets see if they can get this one over the line. Rumours he was there today watching Leeds

They aren't negative but just basic tactical approach to playing against 3-4-3 formation vs 4-2-3-1 formation. or maybe they are other things going on that we shouldn't know about. I think he is out of form and maybe carrying an injury. Not once has he ever said he wanted out of Rovers at any point this season

strange question to be asked on Rovers fans forum. Honest answer I don't know if I would given the current circumstances at either club and whether he would suit the squad and the strengths of the squad suits him. Looks like Leeds are going to appoint former Ajax head coach Alfred Schreuder who I don't know anything about. I have no idea who Southampton will appoint but I would appoint Jesse Marsch or Kjetil Knutsen.

The recruitment team don't make signings tho. They scout, research, data analysed potential signings then recommend players who they we should target but its down to GB to sign them and he took full responsibility for the failing of striker signing. on Tomasson's negative tactics, I wouldn't say that they are negative but fairly logical if you look at it from tactical point of view. Against Wigan JDT wanted his back 4 to keep Wigan front 3 quiet which they did but it was the responsibility of our wide players to track their wing backs back when defensive which is fairly standard thing to do. on playing BBD up front, I wouldn't for the WBA game as I would rest him and give him a break. I would play Dolan up front with Thomas, Dack and Hedges in behind with Travis and Buckley in centre midfield No he hasn't but is there factors we don't know about like maybe carrying an injury for example purposes

No I don't. BBD is having a period of bad form currently but that happens in football. Not for me in his current form. He needs a rest. For me that would be the next game. What the recruitment team got to do with the form of BBD?

Bielsa doesn't take over at clubs during the season. never has never will. Sam Allardyce coming back again in football at the age of 67 I don't see. I expected a left field appointment myself.

given his form recently, I would put him on the bench. Doesn't look himself and given the last few weeks no wonder he doesn't look himself in games,

It was strange appointment in the first place by Southampton and why they even looked at him in the first place. I wonder who next they will go for.

I would drop BBD for next game and play Hedges there. Yet we are still create some chances but we lack that Striker to stretch the play until the summer. Watford form going into this wasn't great 7 points from their last 6 games. I can say that based on the game I listened to on Radio Lancs, people comments at the game but I would expect them to dominate the game given their squad quality

He is playing left of a three behind a main striker and he has to track the right back/wing back into defensive areas Is BBD going to be able to play the main number 9 role cos he hasn't be effective when he has played there? Watford came on strong second half but this was surely expecting probably receiving bashing from Bilic over their first half performance. People were expecting us to get beat and hammering including yourself. So to come out from this game with well deserved draw is a positive as has a number of players performances

Wigan beat Huddersfield who looked doomed to dropping into league 1. Blackpool and Rotherham drew nil nil. Cardiff lose at home to Boro and Stoke only draw to Hull. Look like any 3 from 6 teams to go down

But Newcastle got 40% of any future fee after the fee we paid. So lets say we accept a bid of 20 mil for debate sake, then Newcastle got 6.8 million and we got 10.2 million plus 3 mil we paid for him in the first place He has the do the job need as the left side player and track him man back.

Play Hedges from the left.

We had 2 offers of 8.4 million from Nice and Sevilla and Fulham offer of 6 mil plus 4 mil in add on's. That is what has been reported

Not currently. Looks well of his game and out of form. Would you start him at WBA on Wednesday?

Leeds have been turned down by 5 managers/head coaches now for that job.

Isn't he on more like 30k a week? We never got an acceptable bid from anymore in the summer. The offers were poor to be very honest. If we had sold him in the summer we don't know where our season or league position would be. Just think about first

Would BBD offer anything more up front than Dolan? Dolan can press the front like the front 4 did first half and can run in behind and in between defenders Carter and Hyam for me.

Pleased with the point. Listened to the full game on Radio Lancs. From listening to the commentary and reading people comments at the games seems like Carter was very good and Travis was back to his best. Pears, JRC and Dolan all having good games. Concerned about the form of BBD and Gallagher and it's a worried tbh. On the Watford goal, Gallagher should be heading that ball out for a corner or out wide not back into a centre area. Rovers were deep and we need a body or 2 on the edge of the box.
