  1. very bad idea from the EFL and will only damage stadium attendances and the EFL should be looking at ways to make games cheaper like a price cap of 25 pounds for away games or making prices for kids under 16's are a pound a game and 20 pounds for season tickets for them. Ian Pearce is already the head of recruitment at WBA and has been for 4 years now, From the article on the athletic website it reports that Bruce and Gourlay signed players they know which I think was the wrong move by them. They should have used Ian Pearce more in transfers and I would give him the DoF role there. I think his style worked with the players for only so long, but I think the Bruce appointment was a massive problem and If I was WBA fan, I would want Carlos Corberan or Scott Parker.
  2. Do you think I'm bothered about me being outnumbered? On Dack, I not against him as person or player but I want to see Rovers press high and from the front plus win the ball back high. We done it in certain games like Watford at home for an example. I don't think Dack can do this regular anymore since his injuries which is a shame for him, but he can still have a role here. He will always be loved by the fans and rightly so after his major part he played in the first 2 seasons here. really? He has made 11 appearances so far this season and played 547 minutes of first team football so he will know plenty about the 10 role and what he wants that role when we played with it It's a squad game and We have to play different formations during the season. Most teams do this now. Players need to be adaptable and capable of this if that was the case, do you think it would have been leak by now to the media? JDT has been asked several times about the Dack situation and he answered the question everytime. There is more correlation than most of us have considering what we all do for jobs, but we all have opinions on football and tactics, etc from being passionate and dedicate Rovers fans and football fans
  3. I don't think we should have accepted any low offers for BBD. On Rothwell, I think he was always going to leave here this past summer. I don't think our squad is thin at all and on Hirst Its a loan to buy so its try before we buy situation. I'm sure Rovers DoF and head of recruitment are scouting and looking at players to replace in terms of striker and left winger to replace BBD with for the summer if he does leave. I do think we need to know what BBD wants to do and is he looking to sign pre contract with Spanish club to move there next summer. If that is the case, then fair enough but Rovers need to know the situation in the coming weeks. We were never offered 10 million straight cash, Fulham was 6 mil with potential add ons of 4 mil, plus 2 offers of 8.4 million pounds from Sevilla and Nice. You would accept a low offer for our best attacking player and goalscorer on the cheap. Plus finding 2 replacements for him and bringing them in. Also, how late the offers were coming in and the fact that BBD wasn't pushing to leave Rovers. I still think we able to get to agree a new contract with him. Yes we did have a healthy budget in the summer and we probably have money
  4. My team is Kaminski Brittain Hyam S.Wharton Pickering Morton A.Wharton Hedges Dack Brereton-Diaz Hirst Subs: - Pears, Carter, Travis, Buckley, Gallagher, Dolan, Szmodics
  5. I would imagine so. The same Allardyce that want to leave Rovers for middle East club. No we don't need to get rid of JDT or Broughton at all. It's time people like you actually give them time and patience. The director of football and head coach structure is exactly what we need at our club. You were against Broughton from moment one. Simple as He kept Lowe, Benson and Johnson on but JDT did bring Remy and Rosen in. Plus other backroom staff have come in. So clearly JDT is doing something right and things aren't as bad as some on here would led us to believe.
  6. Enjoying the wins not the defeats, but the fact this is new start for the club and Rovers have been very open about what the project and the fact we need to give JDT time and patience. Sadly some fans won't give this. Rome wasn't built in a day. what a laughable comment that is now! You have been anti Broughton ever since he was appointed. You never gave him a chance from minute 1! I've said it time after time Dack will leave in January and I said on Saturday to a Rovers fans on Saturday at Ewood. More OTT reaction again from certain fans who don't understand that JDT needs time and patience from fans. Look at Farke at Norwich as prime example or what Corberan did last season at Huddersfield taking them to Playoffs after a mid-table finish the season before. sacking JDT when he only had 14 games and we are 7th. Thankfully Rovers will back him and as Sky commentator kept saying Rovers haven't demanding JDT gets us top 6 this season which I think is right cos I see this season has transition season for the playing squad, JDT and the entire football club
  7. poor performance with unable to put a series of passes or even create anything of note. The players should be doing a hell of alot better than this. No stand out players and plenty of poor performances. Attacking wise we couldn't put the final pass or cross in. 2 shots all game isn't good enough for me. Would make a series of player changes for Saturday game at Boro.
  8. The players will know what JDT wants.
  9. Rovers need to increase the tempo and as we seen from a couple of decent moments we had that we cut through Wigan defence. I keep mentioning the tempo thing every game cos we haven't been good enough. Surprised to see Hedges off.
  10. I don't know about them being skint, but I was reading an article on the athletic website which it was saying their recruitment process and policy was based on who Bruce and their CEO knew in the main which I think is a one of the problems there. They need a proper structure and recruitment structure in place. Their CEO need to bring in DoF, Head coach and given their head of recruitment Ian Pearce more of a role in recruitment, maybe even appoint him as DoF.
  11. I would like to know why you think this? For me, we have improved centre back and right back with the signings of Hyam and Brittain. I don't we weren't weaker in centre midfield than last season. For me, JDT is upgrade on Mowbray. Gav, you might not mention Mowbray directly but of course it's about Mowbray time here
  12. Carlos Corberan is one of leading candidates for WBA job Carlos Corberan's clear aim and Marcelo Bielsa approval amid West Brom manager links - Birmingham Live (birminghammail.co.uk)
  13. iinteresting that Boro haven't appoint anyone yet. Its seems very open who they will appoint and no clear favourite yet
  14. Rovers to win 3-1 today. BBD, Hirst and Scott Wharton to score. COYB! JDT's Blue and White Army 🔵⚪
  15. The meetings wasn't changing anything specific without but answers to the question I've posed. I did find out some very interesting things. I did put my opinions to him. No I didn't put my ideas on ST or tickets prices to him as that wasn't part of why I emailed the club in the first place. I stay focus on the subjects that I wrote in my email. Maybe if I have another meeting with him I will raise with him
  16. They didn't give Mowbray last January when I think he thought he deserved one after getting into top 2 but has we know he couldn't sustain it. Lenihan, Nyambe and Rothwell yes all left on free after 18 months contract talks. They wouldn't sell Rothwell to direct rival for promotion whilst Mowbray didn't use all of his budget in January like he should have. They kept BBD this season and won't accept cheap offers for him They gave backed JDT and GB with a good transfer budget this summer.
  17. well out my price range Mercer You can't resist keeping the dig coming can you Matty. At least I did make the effort and got a meeting and put my opinions to him. Instead, you just make unnecessary digs at people who actually do something instead of just posting them on a messageboard. So no effort to even engage with the club with your opinions but complains about the club and other things on here
  18. all depends on your perspective and what that person has said in previous comments which JDT has been very consistence with his comments
  19. Maybe BBD will sign a new contract here, who knows. Maybe he might move in January to Spain or PL. who knows. Maybe Rovers have players in mind who we could sign to replace that maybe also on a free transfer like Ross Stewart from Sunderland, or plenty of players there who fit that profile. The owners have backed JDT and GB in this transfer window. Probably still have a couple of million left to spend in January transfer window
  20. Maybe people have to understand his point of view, but have you ever tried contact Steve Waggott or Lynsey Talbot to discuss your thoughts over ST prices or match day prices instead of posting on here. Steve Waggott is very open and will answer questions. I had a glass of cold water when I had my meeting with him. Having a dig at me Matty there? I would say instead of keep mentioning and posting on here like you do Matty, actually contact the people in charge at Rovers and put your thoughts and ideas over to them what's the going rate? glass of wine or good tip at betting? 🤔
  21. He will know where we are in league, but I think the point is he knows that performances haven't been good enough in certain games and he knows that we can perform better and more consistence. Its work in progress and that 5 weeks period is crucial for JDT where he can get them on training pitch for 4 weeks of it and even a training camp in Spain including a couple of friendlies there
  22. no surprised there. Rafa Benitez rumours with Leicester Cant see Leeds sacking Marsch. They are playing decent enough. Been plenty of rumours that Southampton are looking to replace Hassenlutti recently Dyche can be picky if he wants but I think he should seriously consider going for WBA job. Whether he gets it I don't know. I don't know who they want. Roy Keane was watching the WBA game against PNE, so he might want it. Scott Parker and Carlos Corberan will probably be in for it I guess

  24. Everything matters in training in how you train in training, how you people in games, player attitude, how you take on the information given to you in team meetings or tactical meetings. JDT watched every training session back I have read, so he is looking at everything which involved Rovers first team players. That including watching under 21 games or highlights aswell.
