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

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.

Somewhat agree but I see this season as more of transition season for us and JDT as he learns about the league, playing style at this level from other teams and gets his playing style over the players by having them for period of time on the training ground which he isn't getting at the time. I don't pleasure how of us getting losing games. I think I have been clear about this before. I think they have more performances I have enjoyed than just 1 or 2. The Blackpool and Watford games were really good performances. I enjoyed how we adapted how we played to beat Swansea and were solid against them. I enjoyed the WBA and the fact how we played given those conditions that day which was some of the hottest I seen Football played at Ewood. QPR was a decent performance by the team. Against Millwall was boring first half cos each team didn't want to give anything anyway, but I do feel our tempo and movement first half was very poor. second half was better but both goals had an element of luck in them Yes but maybe if they had stuck by certain managers instead of this sack and hire policy then they might well had more PL football. For example, why sack a head coach in Munoz who got them promotion and had them 15th in the league then they might well have stay up if they kept him. It also reminds me of watching Serie A in the 90's on channel 4 when clubs would be following similar ways to what Watford do. IMO, Clubs need stability and head coaches need time and patience to get their coaching methods, ideas, formation and style of play over to the players. It's why I thought the Rob Edwards was harsh after only 10 games. If they had sacked him in the break for world cup cos results was poor and fearing, they were going to miss on promotion then I can understand that.

Yes, Rovers have mentioned that 5-week break being crucial for JDT to get working with the players daily and will go to Spain for 5 to 7 days training camp during that time. What are the other things going on cos I haven't any rumours on it?

on Jansen, he had 3 goals in 8 PL games and then the season he had 7 goals in 18 games at Championship level for Palace. Then Rovers signed him he scored 3 goals in 11 PL games and then 4 goals in 30 games in the Championship before our promotion season where he got 23 goals in 40 games. 9 goals in 63 games for Cardiff before he joined us. is that really doing it in the championship or did Rovers spot a player who they thought they could develop and improve. He was 25 years old when he joined us back in November 2013. Not interested in the games at Rotherham as most of the apps was a sub. Last season he did very well at Portsmouth and Rovers recruitment department would have done better and more research, scouting, etc than you. still obsessing over Beyonce at your age? blimey? Think it's time you can back down to earth now!

JDT always said it was a project from moment one of him joining the club. here are his quotes “I’ve been searching for the right project “I’ve been searching for the right project and actually it was the project that found me" | rovers.co.uk “This is a plan, a project,” “It’s what I bought into - building success not only for tomorrow but for further, which you can keep for a steady period. Everyone wants this club to get back to the Premier League - where it belongs, if you look at the history. “We need to be clever, do the right things and pick up the right players with the way we want to play football - an intense game. Jon Dahl Tomasson excited by Blackburn Rovers training session | Lancashire Telegraph Why can't we give JDT 3 years to get us promote to the PL and to bring success to Rovers? JDT and GB has spoken it will take about 3 transfer windows to shape the squad that they want so we can get the success and promotion we all crave for. Norwich gave Farke a year to settle in and shape the squad before he delivered the success and promotion they wanted! So, you are bored our watching Rovers try to play a passing style of play? No club has Broughton confirmed in a number of recent interviews that no club even offered a bid anywhere close to what we want, and you shouldn't sell on the cheap like you would have done. Rovers have a price we want, and we were right to stick to it Oh yes, Watford that have had 5 managers/head coach within 1 year, or 18 different head coaches/managers in 10 years since they bought the club including some quality manager like Mazzarri, Javi Garica, Jokanovic or Flores or Munoz. Maybe cos of this constant hire and fire policy is one of the reasons why there is so much instability at the club and such a turnover in staff and playing staff.

Hirst has only played 150 mins over 5 games so far and I'm very surprised by how quickly people have jump on him with the criticism. We know he wasn't fit when he joined, and he is building that up. I think we need to give him time and get behind him cos I think there is a good player in him

I'm surprised how well Kompany has got his signings working and got his style of play over to fair play to him. Does Twine fit into your line up, is he still injured?

Very true but that's how Blackburn Rovers work when signing players and that how we do it.

I will be very honest but its no surprised to you post this sort of comments. He has had a 5 games and total minutes of 150 and already people like yourself are making these sort of comments. I'm sure you were saying the same thing when Brereton, Jansen, Davies, Gestede, Formica or Rochina signed here. That just of top of my head.

Rich Sharpe needs to expand on that point cos would he says add value to the squad, does he mean in terms of improving and developing them then adding value to the player ability Have you listened to the other interviews Broughton has done? I would say no decision has been made on how much signings we made in January. I guess that decision will be made during the break for the world cup on how many but I'm sure Rovers under GB and JDT will be flexible in case we get an injury crisis in January. Plus, any sales that happens in January or Summer

Nottingham Forest FC - Giraldi joins as Sporting Director

The club was very different when that person was at the club back in 2011/12. Mowbray was told by the owners and Waggott his future would be decided after the season. Mowbray thought he deserved a new contract after half a season of doing well last season. Sadly the other half we nosedived, and he was mainly responsible for our failing to even secure a playoff place and his signings in January was awful overall and he should have used the money he had available instead of rubbish crap excuses again. The club is well managed now and we now have new footballing management structure which is working well with Gregg Broughton and Jon Dahl Tomasson You asked me the similar question about JDT's tactics and style of play yesterday which I gave you a direct answer to. Why keep asking me the same questions which is already answered. It's a new style of play and its takes time for the players to learn it and develop with it. Just like when you start a new job, it takes us time to understand the job, learn the new job and what you have to do, and develop and improve in that job. On passing it out and a compromise is needed? If the short pass isn't on in a pass or two time, then maybe we should go long or look for BBD or Hedges, but I would also say we need to look for Brittain more who was space alot of the time on Tuesday which we didn't use him enough especially in an attacking sense

I think we will make one signing which I think might be replacement for BBD. Probably from overseas and under the age of 21 given his comments in recent interviews He has said this in the BBC Lancs interview that they posted this week. where has Rich Sharpe said this?

yes maybe so if our first choice penalty taker isn't on the pitch

Rovers would have extensive scouting him, use data analysis to assess the player. Plus, JDT wanted him and was Rovers first choice target. We don't sign players off the cuff, we do properly research, scouting, data analysis, etc before signing players. It is extensive process into coming up with player shortlist and full-time job for the recruitment and data analysis people at Rovers Why not allow him to get match fit when he isn't at the minute and then judge him.

very good competitive football league and why I enjoyed watching it over European football or UEFA comps.

How did you play? was it good overall performance from the team?

it would have been a close for sure.

Rovers give time and patience to managers/head coaches. wrong there, is a post asking for him to go. https://www.brfcs.com/forums/topic/36353-v-cardiff-city-a-04102022/?do=findComment&comment=2380279 worry and concern about our head coach who has us 7th in the league tonight? I thought we would be mid table at best, at this stage of the season, given the new footballing structure and the number of changes to the backroom staff and playing staff Based on my opinion and how I think the rest of the season will go for I think he always wanted since he first came in. I think he wants 3 or 4 weeks on constantly working on it. The World cup break gives us this

JDT will pick the team you think will have the biggest impact on the game but as you have seen we all pick as our starting 11 and there is some difference in it Rovers playing squad can play either system of 4-2-3-1 or 3-4-3. All the players have played in either system

No panicking or angry comments will make any difference on here or at Ewood Park either

The best team idea is out of date for me and its a squad game now where you rotation and play players depending on how you want to play. I bet we would pick different Manchester City starting 11 if we had to choose
