Its unpredictable league and anyone can beat anyone. Its why it's so enjoyable to watch

Like I said you in a previous I am massive fan of Maddison but sadly for me he misses out on this time. Yes, I think we do need 3 central strikers as anything can happen due a tournament like illness or injuries, so we need to cover all bases. Whether its Calvert Lewin or Wilson who goes it's down to personal choice. Rashford isn't a number 9 for me and his pace out wide in latter stages of games might be more effective. Given that Reece James is now official out of the world cup, I would select Tyrick Mitchell from Crystal Palace as the back left back option to Shaw. I also don't see Saka as top class yet, but he is quality player who will be top class eventually. I would start Foden right, Mount number 10 role and Sterling left behind Kane up front.

People on here are over analysing JDT's comments on promotion. Of course he is going to take the pressure off his team and players, but he is a winner throughout his playing career and managerial career at Malmo.

Yet the league position has us second in the league after 20 games, best home record in the league and 5 wins out of the last 6 league games. Mostly of that without Dack any major part in that. Yet the main talking point is Dack not featuring nor that we are second and players performing very well now

Cos clearly JDT doesn't rate him as highly as some fans do anymore.

Correct. I mistype my comments. Saka and Foden plays wide right whilst Mount plays a different position and is number 10. Calvert Lewin is a striker and Maddison is attacking midfielder so completely different positions. Grealish has skill and tricky I want coming off the bench. White is centre back by trade and only playing right back cos they have 2 other quality centre backs. Tripper and James can play both full back positions

Like I said before Rovers is second in the league, best home record in the league and 5 wins in the last 6 games without any major part from Dack but still the talk is about Dack not playing day after day. I rest my case

yet the team is second in the league, best home record in the league and 5 wins in the last 6 games without any major part from Dack but still the talk is about Dack not playing day after day. 🤔

I have been more of than clear that JDT has played down promotion has a way of taking the pressure of our players. Very sensible management from JDT so early into his tenure as Rovers head coach. I am surprised how much of a big issue you are making of JDT's comments.

out of contract this summer. Maybe 500k transfer fee wise

Guys, I have explained my opinion on his comments and that it.

Depends on whether you think he is still our best player which IMO he isn't anymore as.

But people keep going on about him days after days even after a win where he didn't play. Of course, it is true, Dack is number 10 whilst Vale and Hirst are main strikers. We just have to simply agree to disagree on this topic

Mount gets in cos he is quality player and you have never been a big fan of his, so I am not surprised by your comments cos we have this discussion at the last international tournament if my memory serves me right. Maddison has no doubt been in great form and some one who I rated highly but he misses out just for this tournament Stones has hardly played due to a hamstring injury but has featured in 10 games this season. On Dier, he is played mostly every game for Spurs and his performance on the main has been good in the games he has played. Already said I wouldn't take Maguire cos he hasn't feature enough for me and I would take Ben White, John Stones, Eric Dier and Fikayo Tomori to the world cup.

does it really need answer? My point was relating to JDT's comments from the first day he was appointed here and the way no player is bigger than the team.

I have taken his comments at face value, and he has downplayed our chances to take the pressure of the players

Newcastle bought him for several reasons including taking a key player of a relegation rival, needed a striker of PL quality. I was surprised by how low the transfer bids were and lack of offers from PL clubs for BBD this summer

My team if we play 4-2-3-1 would be: - Pickford Tripper White Stones Shaw Rice Bellingham Foden Mount Sterling Kane My team if we play 3-4-2-1 would be: - Pickford White Dier Stones Tripper Rice Bellingham Shaw Foden Sterling Kane Reports last night says he would be fit by the Wales group game, so I would take him We did have players with quality like White, Stones, Dier and Tomori at centre back role. I would say alot of teams will have players out of form but the only form that matters is when the world cup starts.

I don't see any club bidding more than we receive in the summer.

Yet again Most of the talk since Saturday win which was our eighth home win this season and we are second in the league, people focus is on Dack not featuring game after game instead of the players that have played a major part or some part in our season or the game, where we have the best home record in the championship, second in the league and 8 clean sheets already this season. It baffles me how much of an issue this is for fans to be honest. Dack played a different position to Vale or Hirst, so the comparison isn't correct and right. People will disagree and that's fine by myself.

Well, it's like deal has been agreed and he will take over at Southampton very shortly.

Is BBD in a reality TV show tho? also why would JDT freeze him out for his comments which was right. Why would we get 10 to 15 million offers in January when we never got those sorts of offers guarantee in the summer so why now? we got 3 offers in the summer. 2 bids of 8.4 million from Nice and Sevilla and one offer from Fulham of 6 million plus 4 mil in add ons. So no club offered us 10 million plus straight offer

JDT is simply just downplaying our chances in the media. Take the pressure of the players but of course he knows we have a good chance this season of getting top 6 and promotion. He is staying for the rest of the season so hopefully this puts to end the transfer talk now. Hopefully signs that new contract he been offered.

Given the people who has posted this info I would say there is more meat on the bone than just a simple rumour. His missus commented like she has on social media won't have impressed JDT or Rovers one bit would it or the possible part of a TV series discusssing this won't impress JDT or Rovers again will it? If you remember back to the day JDT was appointed he said that the team was number 1 at all times.
