I was talking about when JDT picked Ash Phillips in the 3rd game of the season along side Ayala against WBA. fair enough, I look forward to seeing them I prefer Szmodics at the minute cos of his energy and work rate. Brereton's goals and strength is playing from the left and cutting in. Why can't Travis or Garrett break into the box or Thomas/Hedges coming in attacking the back post or one of the full backs. Dolan is great at pressing from the front and that's his strengths. His performance against Norwich was as pressing forward

Not for me. He keep faith with Pears when it would be easy to bring back Kaminski, same with JRC and Brittain.

Newcastle were fantastic today and where on the game from minute 1. Joy to watch for a neutral fan. Manchester United were truly awful today Still one of the best commentators in the UK Football. 31 years commentating on the Premier League is such a great and awesome achievement.

The decision should have been made quicker. I can tell from one replay he was onside. It was clear as day. Plus like I said the lack of clear communication to fans inside the stadium is another massive problem. Poor today but after last week comeback against Spurs I expect a much better performance. I thought they would stick with him to end of the season then change then. It will be interesting to see who they go for. Sacking Rodgers and his 2 coaches would say they have someone lined up to come in with 2 coaches.

But he has played them. He could have played Pickering at centre back with Edun at left back but didn't. He picked Phillips. On Wharton, I don't think its about fancied him but that JDT hasn't been happy with his attitude or training so he has been dropped. I'm sure you seen posts from a couple of posters outlining the reasons why JDT has dropped him. So I don't know why you think that

You have to put in quality balls in the box not just put the ball in. Would like to see midfielder or full back getting in the box also cos sometimes its 2 or 3 players in the box. JDT has been brave since taking the job and playing Vale, Phillips, Garrett and Wharton in games where other head coaches would take the safe option

Put Garrett in then. on the striker I think we need someone with pace who will stretch the play and run in behind then if we want to bring in another striker then a different type like target man or fox in the box type.

watching Brighton and Brentford is a good watch for a neutral fan. watched Sky highlights of their game and it was brilliant watch.

based one game where we didn't that badly and deserved a point at least. Surely you based it on period of games not just one game

Well clearly JDT and his staff have been happy with him and his performances otherwise he wouldn't be playing. JDT since he was appointed here said the team comes first and he said in the first team meeting with the players.

Yes could do but I would pick Garrett cos he can made tackles and pass the ball decent enough I want his pace on the wing and he has been good before yesterday Yes I would start him. Not bothered about shirt numbers. Get the ball in the box and he will score goals like QPR and Stoke goals shows. It wasn't fluky at all but it was meant. I watched right in front of me at the time. I ain't surprised by your unwillingness or acceptance that Gallagher ain't as bad as you would like people to believe and you are unwillimg to give him any credit at all

VAR made the right decision with the West Ham goal there but over 3 minutes to make the decision is one of the biggest problem with the system

surprised by this news. Thought they would stick with him but they were very poor yesterday. wonder who next?

How restless are West Ham United fans today? They are nervous about going down. relegation is wide open at the minute. I think Southampton will get out of it. I think either at least one of Leeds, Everton or West Ham will go down for me. I hope Forest will go down. Cooper's attitude is horrible and thinks he better then he is. His actions towards to Wolves head coach Lopetegui were unwarranted and not needed.

JDT isn't afraid of playing young players as we seen with Adam Wharton, Jake Garrett, Ash Phillips and Jack Vale this season, but what we also know and seen that JDT doesn't have his favourites and every player needs to have the right attitude in training or games otherwise you won't play under JDT. As you say The team comes first whoever the player is under JDT.

not really as we are still in the playoffs and still the window closed we are 7th in the form table with 5 wins, 4 draws and 2 lost. So has it crippled us? stats and results would say not Championship - Form table | Transfermarkt good to see Watford doing so poorly. The owners get what they deserved now

Gallagher did have a bad game but previous games he has been good including goals and that back heel assist against Reading. playing Dack up won't won and we see this from our previous manager why not play Jake Garrett?

I would play Jake Garrett there with Travis for next game Birmingham sat in and deep. Allow us to have the ball and that why we end up with this slow tempo football. thanks Andy. What we would give for Tugay in centre midfield who could pick a pass for us

well we have to agree to disagree on Brittain won't we? I have already said we were poor in the final third despite created chances and controlling the game. I can based my opinion on the commentary I listened to. Thanks. You might have access to watching these 3pm kick off games through what ever means it is. I will watched the game tomorrow morning thanks. I based my opinion on what I seen and they are one of the best teams that have come to Ewood this season. Others have said the same.

Yes that was another striker but no name has been mentioned

Very Harsh on Szmodics. On Gallagher I would start him

Well you are fully entitled to your opinion but I think he is good signing and he isn't starting cos of the form of JRC and Pickering I thought Kone move didn't happened cos his club sold their main striker to Nice so keep him there. Gallagher performed best what he doesn't think about it but just do it. like that back heel for Hedges against Reading. QPR and Sunderland at home were 2. Firstly I wouldn't said it poor performance but disappointed one that lacked in the final third. Also I wouldn't say Birmingham are one of the poorest side in the league. One of the best teams that I have seen at Ewood. Think their head coach John Eustace has done good job in a difficult situation regarding ownership problems and stadium problems.

its been very entertaining game so far.

only 4 points of European places(7th), so not a dead rubber at all.

my team Pears JRC Carter Hyam Pickering Travis Garrett Thomas Szmodics BBD Gallagher Subs:- Kaminski, Brittain, Wharton, Wharton, Dack, Hedges, Dolan
