They played 2 up front in Wyke and Magennis up front with Keane as number 10 in 3-4-1-2 formation Joe, Yesterday they played 3-4-1-2 formation so I think its likely we would go 3-4-3 formation. Lang and Nyambe didn't play yesterday. I prefer 4-2-3-1 formation with a main striker up front, but given how we played yesterday I would only make 2 changes which would be Carter in for Ayala and Brittain for Gallagher with Hedges moving to the right side of the front line. So my team would be Kaminski Carter Hyam S.Wharton Brittain Morton Travis Pickering Hedges Szmodics BBD

Didn't Wigan play 3 at yesterday team sheet? They played with 2 strikers and number 10.

Floating role. On left wing 2 or 3 times second half

Last week after Saturday game fans wanted him sack. For me another over reaction by them. Done good job from what PNE supporter work colleagues have said. Nothing surprise me with them. They get what they deserve now Wouldn't surprise me if he goes shortly. Sounds like he had enough now there

100% agree

we have to agree to disagree on this

You mean the owners of the club? Our owners have brought in a new footballing management structure in GB who was the main reason in appointment JDT. We now have a proper plan(project) for the club, so let's see what's happens in the future. The past can't be change but we must move on from that now if we want Rovers to get promote to the PL and stay there

Didn't Robson bring them back up after that Relegation if memory serves me correct? Woodgate didn't do great granted, Southgate did very well there in his first 2 seasons before the third season ended with relegation, but he was 4th in the championship when they sacked him after 2 nil win against Derby. replaced by Strachan who did nothing there.

Top 2 teams losing with Norwich losing PNE 3-2 and Sheffield Utd losing 3-1 to Stoke Blackpool losing to Watford 3-1. Bilic under pressure after 3 games? 🤣 Swansea beating Mowbray's Sunderland 2-1. Boro losing 2 nil to Millwall. West Brom nil nil with Luton. WBA fans were singing "stand up if you want Bruce out" during the game. I don't think he will last much longer there. Fans have turned on him now. Its about who they want in to replace with him

Kean was 10 years ago, maybe its time to move on and accept that Rovers are very different club in terms of football management and the fact we got different people in charge and a proper footballing management structure. There is plenty of progress on the pitch and off the pitch with JDT and GB running the footballing side of the club

very good today and that why Rovers signed him. Hopefully we see more of this type of performance now

JDT is learning about the championship game by game. Yes, that was one of differences on the game, but our tempo was far too slow first half Dack has to fight for him just like everyone else. no one is guaranteed a place in this team and that including BBD. I don't know if he did sulk away but I did see him clapping the fans at the end of game was JDT who always come over to Blackburn End

Good win today by the players. It was good first half to watch as Rotherham didn't sit in and look to attack us. They did have chances to score but didn't take them. I thought Rathbone and Ogbene were their best players on the day. Tyler Morton impressed all game with his passing, tackling, skill and won us the Penalty in the first half. He deserved to be man of the match today. Brereton Diaz took the penalty and scored it. I thought our tempo was far too slow and movement at time too static for my likely. Second half, we upped the tempo and played with better movement creating some chances with Szmodics missing a header but with all in fairness the ball was behind him. Gallagher should have been at the back post for tap in from BBD but instead he went looking for cut back. Szmodics made a very good run and produced a good ball in for BBD at the far post to tap it home. On the third, It was good weight ball by Dolan straight into Szmodics path and he slotted it in the goal. I am pleased with the overall performance. Szmodics had a good game as did Wharton, Hyam and Pickering. Hedges didn't play as right wing back but just keep roaming around the pitch. delighted with the 3 points today. Still 7th but the top 7 is only 3 points difference now JDT's Blue and White Army 🔵⚪

Markanday was 19th man today and Hilton was there as 3rd keeper in case Kaminski or Pears got injury in warm up

Dack isn't with the under 21's today. Phillips, Edun, Carter and Buckley are with them. I suspect Dack will be on the bench today

You can say its pie in the Sky but I think you should actually take it as the truth from JDT and GB cos that will be what is happening at Rovers now with a proper footballing management structure, changing the playing staff and backroom staff. Thankfully we don't sack and hire managers like other clubs do and actually give head coaches/managers time and patience

Like I posted in the post Gibson has a history of appointing people for their first job in management like he has done with Bryan Robson, Steve McClaren, Gareth Southgate, Jonathan Woodgate and Altor Karanka. Robson delivered Promotion to PL, McClaren delivered a league cup and European football and Karanka delivered Promotion and PL football

No I didn't watch the England Women and tbh I didn't even know they were playing

As I have said aswell as JB and others on here plus our DoF and head coach, this is a project, and it will take times to get the squad with signings and for the players to understand what JDT wants from them. Plus, like I said I see it has transition season for the several reasons I have explained to yourself the other day. JDT and GB everytime they speak mention the project and the team is under construction and they will be highs and lows for a period of time. Also have they have said this is about building a team to sustainable for getting promotion but staying in the PL

like I said in Milwall match thread post-match the first half was two teams who didn't want to give anything away but our tempo of our attacking play was far too slow. When we up the tempo then teams struggle against us. JDT likes most of squad to play at the weekend whether its first team minutes or under 21's minutes.

Maybe Markanday will make the bench instead. I don't know but he is very keen on players getting plenty of minutes when it for first team, or under 21's level. I have explained to you why I put decent. Or you allow him time to bring him that style by coaching the players and getting them used to what JDT wants with the ball and without. If you listen to the interview with Andy Bayes, Andy asked him about the passing style he wants to play. Also Rovers TV asked him about style and him needing time and patience to bring it in and fans having patience with him and the players

Gibson has plenty of form for appointing first time managers like Bryan Robson, Steve McClaren, Gareth Southgate, Jonathan Woodgate and Altor Karanka. He has appointed Tony Pulis, Neil Warnock and Chris Wilder none who delivered what he wanted which is promotion. Boro want a head coach who will work with their director of football Keiran Scott from what has been reported by the media from when Wilder was sacked.
