But that money could be reinvested in the squad to bring 4 or 5 quality players. As @davulsukursays The club's aim to be self sustaining aswell. Look at Norwich when they sold Maddison and Murphy but get promote that season as they reinvested the money they got. Brentford again with selling ,Benrahma Maupay and Watkins but then get promote with Toney.

Yes I think anyone suggesting JDT should be sack or even saying the jury is still out is utter bonkers IMO. I just don't know what people honestly expect these days are you being serious here? how can the jury still be out over JDT? 2 good cup runs and been in the top 6 most of the season and in the playoff hunt wasn't what most fans thought would be this season?

cos he will be featuring on Tuesday I would guess

Yes I agreed on Szmodics. I have to disagree that our top 6 hopes are over. No the tactical change to back 5 wasn't at fault for the goal. Hedges poor play and Wharton slipping was at fault here. JDT wanted an extra defender there to cope with PNE 4 attackers on the pitch. is that not sensible approach in the last minute to make sure we aren't out numbered in the defensive line?

Tuesday 25th April Rovers vs Burnley Wednesday 26th April Sheffield vs West Brom Friday 28th April Blackpool Millwall Saturday 29th April Coventry vs Birmingham Sheffield United vs Preston Sunderland vs Watford West Brom vs Norwich Monday 1st May Rovers vs Luton Monday 8th May Boro vs Coventry Millwall vs Rovers Preston vs Sunderland Swansea vs West Brom

why is Paul Fielding leaving?

My team for this game Pears JRC Carter Hyam Pickering Travis Morton Wharton Hedges Szmodics BBD This will go down to the last game against Millwall where it could be winner takes all and that last playoff place

Szmodics is such a good player and even when things aren't coming off for him he is still working hard and that never stops with him Hedges was good when he came on JDT promised Rovers would perform in this game and it wouldn't be like the previous game against them which we under perform and rightly got beat You could see how much it hurt emotionally the entire playing squad and hopefully we turned that disappointed into a positive and beat those DIngles now

I think we will see over 17k on for this massive game and lets get behind the players and remain positive The tactics wasn't at fault for us conceded. JDT decided to bring on Wharton on cos Preston on 4 forwards on the pitch so he wanted an extra defender on the pitch which most managers would have done. Just imagine this forum if he had done nothing and we conceded this forum would be saying why didn't he bring on extra centre back on. JDT just can't win with some fans. I just don't get why people like yourself and @Waggy76are so anti JDT when he has improved and develop this team where we are in playoffs mix this season which most people didn't expect. Why such angry? JDT has been breath of fresh air and has improved our club and players on to another level since last season. 2 cup runs aswell plus Playoffs mix

He is doing well and we need to keep him here long term. He has been very good and move this club on from Mowbray time here. I just don't get why some fans don't want him here and want him sack which I think is crazy talk and sad to see from fellow Rovers fans

no surprised to see PL clubs wanting him but its at least season or 2 early to sell unless we get offered silly money like 20 million pounds plus.

my ratings Pears - 9 JRC - 7, Carter - 8, Hyam - 7, Pickering 7, Travis - 7, Morton - 7, Wharton 8, Thomas - 5, Szmodics - 8, Dolan - 5, BBD - 6, Hedges - 7, Brittain - 5 Wharton 5

The situation is still in our hands, getting drunk might help you but not for plenty of others people who didn't want to drink or need to drink to stop pain. I will just carry on doing what I do normally on Saturday night thanks Mercer

My thoughts on the game are we were the better team overall and control the game. Playing 4-3-3 really helps us control the game. Szmodics's finish was excellent. He finish well and good movement aswell. Bring Hedges and BBD made us better second half attacking wise. Hedges should either go for power and the corner and waste time. His finish was pathetic. Wharton's slipping isn't good enough. Its unlucky goal to conceded. Thought the back 4 dealt with the attacks from them very well and Pears made good decent saves. JDT was right to stand by him again. I don't understand why anyone think its over for us cos its not. Its still in our hands and like I said before this is going down to the last game of the season against Millwall. As we seen today they will be plenty of more twists and turns so this is far from over and plenty to play for. I can understand people frustrations with conceded again in the last minute for the second game in a row but this is still within our grasp now. Lets behind the team on Tuesday and beat the Dingles on now! COYB! JDT's Blue and White Army 🔵⚪!!!

He means in terms of bringing in recruitment staff into the team which didn't have much, scouting and data analysis tools. That's what is meant by that Comment

I think he has been good overall and for me rightly keeps his place

was talking to PNE supporter work colleague who said it was be entertaining game or bore draw nil nil game. no surprised if BBD has been bench

It's doesn't matter

Southampton played very well tonight but shame they couldn't hold on for the win

Brittain was injured

His decision making recently is just poor as it ever been. Whether its shooting instead of playing in Pickering twice against Hull for example. He is coming too deep for the ball but he doesn't in behind or making those runs anymore. We have to agree to disagree blaming the tactics for it. Well we have to agree to disagree there again. I guess you didn't enjoy how we played attacking against Huddersfield, Leicester, Sheffield United or QPR away then? Oh well then. The reason people want Leonard to start is he is number 9 striker and knows the right areas to be in. You want to move a player to that role who hasn't played well in that role when he has played there and wouldn't stay in the middle and would naturally drift wide to the left. Dolan has had more success playing there than BBD has with good performances in that position Maybe one of the reasons he played well in this game is he didn't have defensive duties due to how Huddersfield park the bus approach most of the game

Liverpool are after McAlister from Brighton for around 60 million and Bayern's Gravenberch for 25 million.

I would go for Pears. Done nothing wrong so far. Kaminski has to wait now

Szmodics can drop back into the midfield 3 when defending and into the 10 role when attacking
