v Rotherham United (h) 08/10/2022
chaddyrovers replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Brittain was very good signing and someone I wanted for the last 12 months at Rovers. Hyam has plenty of experience and can play in 4 or 5 we want to play. I want to more Szmodics and Hirst in the team cos so far, we only seen Szmodics has only played 7 games and 358 mins and Hirst 5 games with 150 mins, so I want to see them playing more and starting game. If they had played more and performed well it would have been good window based on performances. Mola will become more involved an that will start with him in the match day squad hopefully. I totally agree with you on this. I haven't been bored or the game has been dull so far. People need to understand that this is work in progress and he seems this passing style as the way forward for our club and to gained Success. Doubts and worries when we are 7th in the league and given the amount of changes to the playing staff and backroom staff plus a new footballing management structure then I think the season is going very well and better than I thought it would start under JDT. Plus its work in progress which takes time and that needs to be given JDT wants them to play with more tempo and quicker but it's the players on the pitch during games that need to happen. He has said that more than once how he wants to play here. -

I posted plenty of my opinions on here I watched the game live and back twice and Morton had a very good game. Dingles's manager Kompany is saying similar thing to JDT that the 5 weeks break is crucial to their season hopes. Beale has said that his side isn't where he wants them to be. That 3 new appointed head coaches/managers in the summer saying the same thing. -

Well get behind the project/plan Rovers have in place and let cheeer Rovers back to PL which will take time. That where I disagree with you. For me, JDT has done good job so far and I'm surprised we are 7th at the minute cos I expect nothing more than mid table as I see this transition season for the club with a new Director of Football, head coach, new coaching and backroom staff leaving and coming in. Plus 10 changes to the playing staff. JDT is learning about coaching at this level and what is need tactical. I would give him 7 out of 10. He played a major part in being JDT to Rovers, bringing in new staff to the recruitment and other departments at Rovers. Did a decent enough job with signings. Got several players new contracts all sorted including Ash Phillips, Adam Wharton and John Buckley. I would say 7.5 out of 10. Gus Williams hasn't been head of recruitment before he worked for Wales FA for over 20 years. Look at the improved he made within that setup over the years. I don't know who the head of European Scouting or head of data scouting either, but Rovers will announce shortly Well I will be there as always and I couldn't think of anywhere better to be on Saturday afternoon then Ewood Park supporting the Rovers in the blue and white shirts. -

The amounts were anyway near our valuation of the player so Rovers rightly rejected it. Morton was very good at Blackpool actually. Received plenty of praise for that performance from Sky, and other media who covered that game. You wanted experience midfielder, but Rovers didn't one for that. JDT decide Morton was the right signing for us. Matty, why people are asking questions that Rovers or Rovers employees have already answered then I will used them to reply. If you don't like my post, please feel free to ignore my posts and don't read them. -

We already have room for manoeuvre with FFP. We turned down one offer from Fulham of 6 mil with 4 mil add on, one bid from Sevilla for 8.4 million and same amount from Nice. Do you really think they were acceptable offers for a quality of BBD and what he offers to us? So he didn't impress at Blackpool away and Watford home? Morton was signed here to allow Rovers to develop Adam Wharton and Jake Garrett to be more of a part of the first team squad next season. So you have fully explanation from Director of Football why we made that signing and was our only signing in Midfield. Wrong again but you surprised you post this rubbish -

I have nothing more to add to what I've already said so your points before were incorrect about Jansen and Gestede. Why don't you stop going OTT about Hirst again. Thanksfully you aren't involved at Ewood Park. Still going on about Beyonce like a broken record. time you came back to planet earth quickly No Mercer, Director of Football, head coach and the recruitment team did a good job in the summer given everything that when on during the summer what is the problem now with the any of the personal? We have a good head coach with director of football who so far has delivered and done good so far. Gus Williams has plenty of experience and we have to see who we are appointing in the head of European Scouting and head of data scouting. -
Souness on Rovers
chaddyrovers replied to Trinidad Rover's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Souness was very good manager and its sad how it ended here. I remember these days very well. We had an excellent side under him. Friedel, Berg, Short, Dunn, Duff, Flitcroft, Tugay, Jansen, Hignett and Cole I always the Worthington cup final and winning promotion at Deepdale as 2 of my proudest moments being a Rovers along with winning the PL in 1994/95. -

The players were behind him and clearly the new appointed Sporting Director must have wanted him to stay. I think it's a smart move to keep him and show some loyalty to him he guided them to promotion. Shame other teams don't -
Jon Dahl Tomasson - Sweden coach
chaddyrovers replied to Tom's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
No club offered us a bid near our valuation, and you don't sell your key and best player on the cheap like you would have done. Rovers have told you we wouldn't sell him on the cheap. I don't know why you want to keep going over and over this like a broken record. I have mention transitional season as that my opinion. Have Rovers? Yet again Gregg Broughton explained Rovers thinking about why signing Tyler Morton on loan instead signing permanent signing so I don't know why you asking that. Already answered the transitional point above. changes to the players from last season first team squad are, Callum Brittain, Hayden Carter, Ash Phillips, Dominic Hyam, Clinton Mola, Tyler Morton, Sam Szmodics, George Hirst, Jack Vale, Adam Wharton. -

blimey, Gregg Broughton and Jon Dale Tomasson has had only 1 more transfer window. Our new head of recruitment Gus Williams has only joined about 6 or 7 weeks ago. Plus, we are just about appoint a new head of European scouting and new head of data scouting. -
Jon Dahl Tomasson - Sweden coach
chaddyrovers replied to Tom's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
As I and others have said we kept Brereton-Diaz cos no club even offered a bid that was acceptable to the club. You would have sold him for low transfer fee whilst plenty of us wouldn't have done. Rovers didn't. For some unknown reason you would let this drop now even when you even heard from our Director of Football Gregg Broughton tell you directly why he wasn't sold. Also, Hirst and Mola are here on loan to potential permanent moves so there is some sort of long-term plan but Rovers want to have a look at them before committing to signing them I'm not saying we should write off the season and I have never said we should have I, but the transition might happen quickly than I think it will, but I am not expecting a top 6 finish this season. I can see some positive evidence already under JDT and the players. I didn't think we would be 7th after 12 league games, and I was expecting us to mid table at best cos of the change of head coach and some changes to the coaching/backroom staff plus around 10 changes to the playing squad this season plus a change of playing style and coaching style. -

I never said you can't have opinion so please implying this nonsense, but Rovers have plenty of more tools when they are signing players then we have. Plenty of hours and scouting, researching, etc goes into signing players -
Transfer Window - COMPLETE. Where’s Gregg?
chaddyrovers replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Another good positive move for the recruitment side and would help us with European scouting aswell as the appointments of head of European scouting and head of data scouting -
Transfer Window - COMPLETE. Where’s Gregg?
chaddyrovers replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
My opinions are based on what I have seen so far and what I watched of him in clips. He can finish, I think when he gets match fit and how we want him to play you will see his quality. In his first game he made one very run and I like his movement he made. Fair enough, I do think that the criticism is similar unwarranted at this stage given he hasn't even completed 2 full games in minutes so far and reminds of when Brereton-Diaz joined, and we witnessed the criticism he got then. So, we have agreed to disagree on this. I accept you point about your support for him. I wasn't saying you didn't support him when he has Rovers shirt on so my apologies there if you thought I was saying you didn't. I think after Tuesday missed penalty, I think the best thing would be start him and let him get back out there straight away and get a goal or 2 against Rotherham -
Watched the first 2 episodes of this England on Sky Atlantic today and it's a great watch and you need to really focus on watching it. Plenty of good detail in it.
