I'm happy with our midfield options. I would be looking for right back back up player and a replacement for BBD if he leaves in January or signs a pre contract in January for Foriegn club. Other than that I'm happy with the squad. Why not? What's with negative attitude? 3rd in league after 21 games. We have a good chance of getting promote this season.

No surprises really. I think we will make 1 or 2 signings at most We have offered BBD a new contract and if we are going to get promote then he will have a big impact on us getting to PL Rothwell and his family wanted to move back south and that what they wanted for months before he got the move there.

Yes his performances haven't been good but I do think he will come good if he gets a chance. I think that penalty miss at Cardiff has badly affected his game and mentality. I think a week to reset, and mentality rest will help him.

I am fully aware that Hirst is on loan here. Maybe Hirst need a break mentality for a week or so before he come back strong.

The 8 stadiums for the world cup look very impressive. I think the Al Janoub stadium, Khalifa International stadium and Education City stadium look fantastic and impressive stadiums

I understand the point I was making in the first place but yes managers/head coaches do make mistakes in the transfer market or tactical decisions or team selections.

I thought Valencia's header was very good finish from him. Ecuador played well first half and they managed the second half to not allow Qatar any chance of getting back into the game.

Really? Lets judge Hirst at the end of the season not after limited amount of time here.

exactly. Jim didn't think we would win the semi Final. It all comes back to attitude in life and life situations I will watch many games I want to watch. Germany vs Spain in the group stages is one the highlights. I am looking forward to seeing France, Brazil, Canada, USA and Senegal play. I just hope we get a good game between Qatar vs Ecuador. Don't know much about either side but just want to see good open game. Not too much focus on England from BBC.

Well, if JDT didn't want him here, he wouldn't be here. maybe Rovers scouted him last season and like what they watch? Also we brought in a scout from Oxford Tom Sutton in the summer so maybe he might have suggested to JDT and GB?

Yes, it is vital that we get the players back on the training field so JDT can get the training and understand more what he wants, But rest time is important for certain players. So, a week off and time with the family or friends then get back to the serious work. A week of hiding? I haven't been hiding at all but sadly this message board isn't my priority. I have had more important things going on outside of this messageboard and football to be very honest. Also, I shouldn't have to answer to you about my time being on here and it's the second time you moaned at me about this now. I have also posted my opinions on where JDT went wrong in this game. Also, I haven't just blamed the players so stop with this BS again, But the players aren't babies and should be able to make decisions on the pitch without being told every little detail from JDT. Do you need your boss to tell you every detail of what he needs to with your job?

I would guess they would have been given time off especially Ash Phillips and Adam Wharton with this being their first season with first team

Given that he was playing for the poorest team in the league and how many times did you watch him play for Scunthorpe? what was his performances like and was they any improvements in his game comparing to the previous season? David Dunn is at Port Vale as 1st team team coach Hasn't JDT given Phillips, Wharton, Mola, Markanday and Hirst time off like other 1st team players?

We know why Hirst is currently starting or involved in the first team cos JDT has explained the situation. If you look at last season with Portsmouth, his goals mainly came after November. Let's hope he starts performing like that. I won't write him off like you have.

I posted what I thought Jon Dahl Tomasson got wrong including the formation selected. Players are on the field should make decisions in those situations and take some responsibly for themselves. They aren't babies. Yes, JDT sorted out this Win and loss streak didn't he? Yes we are 3rd in league and well above where I thought we would be at this stage. This next 4 weeks of getting them on the training pitch will be crucial and for him and the staff to coach them more than he has done in recent weeks. No surprised by your comment on Garrett. My view is very different on Garrett than yours. I'm nothing to add to my original point on this Footballers are just normal people at the end of the day so why shouldn't they use social media just like we do? They got time off so some players will go on holiday like Hyam, Morton and Szmodics plus I'm sure plenty more have. Its just like us going on holiday when we book time off work.

You seem to struggle that my opinion is very different to yours on Jack Vale who I have rate and think he is will be good player for Rovers. I would say JDT knows alot of players and whether they are quality or not given his playing career where he played for some great clubs and with some great players. My view on Vale is very well documented on here.

Yes the opening ceremony is on at 3pm. No I wasn't surprised we made the finals of the Euro. Cos, we believed in our country, players and Southgate to bring the world cup home. I think we are one of 6 teams who I think can win it yet none of them have our quality players like Kane, Foden, Sterling, Bellingham, Tripper I agreed that USA have some very good players like Aaronsson, Adams, McKennie, Pulisic and Robinson Yet Conte has seen Dier as key player in their defence and played in most games. I would still start with Ben White and John Stones but Dier would come into the team if we play back 3.

England 2 nil vs Iran Holland England Denmark France Spain Belgium Brail Uruguay

The players have to take some responsibly for the decisions to play out from the back cos sometimes yesterday Kaminski didn't, so maybe the questions that need to be asked to the players is why the players decided to play out when they did. That will be done today by JDT and the players in a team meeting over the game. It's still a foul for me whether the ball is in the net or not. It was clearly push that didn't need to happen. What did Buckley actually do yesterday? I'm a big fan of his but he hasn't been good enough this season. I made a number of points yesterday as to where I said I thought JDT went wrong whether it formation selected or team selection. I have replied to your points in JDT, and I even agree with you on some points. I think your attitude towards young players in general the same apart from Adam Wharton. Adam Wharton has been decent/good in some games but also poor in some like Stoke. Garrett was very good against Sunderland for example which you didn't agree with.

wasn't Adam Wharton injured? Dack can't play in centre midfield. Who else would you have brought on in place of Gallagher then? I agreed on the Brittain, Hedges, Scott Wharton points.

well, if JDT and Rovers didn't rate him then they would haven't given him a new contract, would they?

Yes I thought they would be chance of relegation given a number of problems there in terms of ownership, financial problems and massive change over in staff and players. Similar to Sunderland 5 years ago. Miller, I not a big record fan of these sort of things to be honest. I did outlined yesterday where I felt that JDT did go wrong yesterday in terms of team selection and formation wise I do remember Aaron Mokenna and he was decent enough defensive midfielder.

Cos, I look the entire situation and not to just isolated to one specific game and the entire 21 games block which has us 3rd in the league, and great position to kick on to get promotion. JDT will get the players on the training field and working on them, improving the players understand what he wants and how he wants to play even more. The ref was weak for a ref of PL standards and what a big job Howard Webb has got to improve the standards and quality of them. I have said it is disappointed to see that performance, but it is one game and shouldn't overruled what has been a very good season so far in terms of performance. Garrett is up to it and was our best midfielder out of the 4 that played yesterday. I will say I am not surprised by your comment on him or any young player we play cos it always the same story will you.

or he knows more than you do about the situation

JDT has to authorise every transfer, him and GB works on who they want to bring in as a partnership. JDT rates Vale and that why we see a new contract for him On Hirst, yes, he has started slowly but hopefully after 5 weeks break, we can see him at his best and scoring goals here. I still think they is a player there in him good enough for this level
