JDT is the head coach not the manager. He has the final say on whether a player comes in or not. Its Gregg Broughton and recruitment team to scout, negotiation and sign the players Gregg Broughton shouldn't be doing interviews with the media right now. His focus should be bringing new players and new staff. far too many people want communicate from him right now.

been linked with 2 French clubs Good. Its means nothing is leaking and I prefer that leaks weren't happening far too many injuries No we don't need to hear from Gregg Broughton at this stage. After the transfer window is the right time for that, he needs to carry on doing the job he is doing like bringing in a new head of recruitment which looks Gus Williams plus bringing 5 or 6 quality signings. bit creepy? what are you going on about?

Highlights of the game for people who didn't see the game like myself. 2 good goals scored. Seems like a good performance overall. Vale and Buckley best players according to the ratings in the Lancs Live article. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=4&v=Tt96HvGu5Og&feature=emb_logo https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=95&v=OZ-99JaRBrg&feature=emb_logo

I thought Matt Parkinson both very well in both games. He is class bowler. Very disappointed by losing the final but lets true be know we should have walk that total after being 1 down after 7 overs. Tim David was disappointment batting wise. I just think we miss having a quality batsman at 5 or 6. Maybe Something we look at.

I have said he is a squad player for the coming season with an experience right back like Callum Brittain or Nathan Byrne being first choice. Cost has nothing to do with my opinion but wanting to keep bringing through our good young quality players into the first team. So what have you done about it apart from ranting on here or on other social media platform but what have you done to tell the club you support? have you email the clubs with your concerns or feelings? True support of the club? How do I sit in silence or blind support when I have a problem, concern or want an answer to question I actually contact the club about it and receive a response?

I've been saying that Jack Vale and James Brown should be part of the first team squad since the start of May, Garrett within the month of May and Ash Phillips in Early June if I can remember correctly. If I didn't want to it happen and really believe in it then I wouldn't have posted it on here would I! Rovers don't need 10 signings. We need around 5 or 6 signings IMO. I cannot be any more clear than that Of course I will always my club. If I think Rovers have done something well I will praise them and if I think they have something wrong, etc then I will criticise the club. I will email the club and voice my opinions. You criticised the club alot over different issues

Yes I do and I think that should be aim but he has 3 years contract so lets give him that opportunity. Yes you are talking down based on nothing since you don't go and watch any games like others do. Travis got his chances down to injuries if I remember correctly in the championship tho he broke through in the second half of the league 1 season but after his sent off against Portsmouth away on the 13th February, Mowbray didn't pick him again that season You just don't get tbh and you are just over complicating it to be honest. Anyway, I am given up trying to explained it to you and others with similar opinion. I stand by my opinion that all 4 are ready to be part of the Rovers squad for the coming season.

Steven Croft and Matty Parkinson will be the heroes tomorrow

No one has said a large influx of youngsters have we? if someone has then please produce the evidence! Me and few others have talks about given 3 of 4 players like Jack Vale, Jake Garrett, Ash Phillips and James Brown a spot in the first team squad that is all, and just for the record none of us have said we shouldn't sign anyone but sign 5 or 6 players of good quality and not squad fillers where our young players can fill in. So please can you explain how you judge anything on Vale unless you give him a chance here in the squad? You keep talking the under 21 football down but it was ok for Travis Buckley wasn't it?

Wrong again Miller11. I am very optimistic about promotion chances under JDT in the next 3 seasons compare to our previous manager. I am never doom and gloom attitude and leave that sort of some to others on here It appears that JDT has been impressed by him. I would lean him out to someone like Rochdale or Stanley That aim comes from JDT and the club.. I was talking about the entire championship changing from last season to this one is massively. I am very optimistic about promotion chances under JDT in the next 3 seasons compare to our previous manager. I think he will get us to PL whether its this season or the next. He might need a season to settle in and understand the championship like Daniel Farke did but I think we have a head coach who will deliver You continually talk down the under 21 level of football whilst you admitted you have never been to watch these games so its baffling and annoying you talk it down and players who play in it

my team based on the squad would be Salt, Jennings, Croft, Vilas, David, Wells, Lamb, Wood, Hartley, Gleeson and Parkinson

far to early to make predictions on where I think we will finish when we will make signings and whether BBD leaves or not. Where we finish last season has no bearing on this coming season when the championship is very different with different teams in the league, playing squad very different and a number of managerial changes for a number of examples.

Based on the talent, performances I've seen, whether the have physical attributes for the championship. I like Jack Vale movement whether its coming short or looking to run in behind and his attribute of closing down. He looks like working on his strength from the Stanley game and from a number of games he can finish and score goals. Jake Garrett like a tackle and get's stuck in which is his game but he has ability to make good passers and can switch play Ash Phillips, He is England international defender at his age group, he tall, positional looks good from what I have seen.

I have spoken to some people who have meet Steve Waggott so I have some background into him and I know what to expect.

I have been sat in the same seat for years now so I agree with you that as long as it admits me into the ground I'm not bothered over a new card or use the exist card

No surprised that some people will want to criticise myself already before the meeting even taken place. Tbh, I expected it coming much sooner I will think carefully about being open again with this messageboard about such meetings or discussions from them. It's not worth the bother from my viewpoint

@roversfan99season ticket card update https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2022/july/15/season-ticket-cards-update/

Thankyou for the reply there Glen. I think all 3 are ready for Rovers first team squad and I rather used them here than loan them out

Thanks for all your hard work and I very much appreciated it

Glen, what your opinions on Jake Garrett, Ash Phillips and Jack Vale and do you think they are ready to be part of first team squad this coming season?

No I am not inferring that we can't sign players at all so god knows where you get them from but Gregg Broughton job is to improve and appoint new staff to every department under his control. We have been looking to sign players but we do need a new head of recruitment to replace John Park. He has no reason to lie don't he and why wouldn't he tell the truth to a straight forward and simple question Gregg Broughton shouldn't be doing interviews now. His focus should be bringing in new players and new staff and supporting JDT. Leave JDT to comment on transfers and everything else. JDT comment is right. Well I think we heard more than enough from GB and JDT since coming in. We shouldn't expect a weekly or daily update Mercer, Waggott rearranging that meeting wasn't a problem so stop making such a massive issues out of not one. Since last season, I think the communicate from Rovers has been much improve and much better than previous seasons. So we are improving that side of the club.

JDT has told you the truth about what is going on with our transfer but far too many of you are going into panic mode cos we haven't made one signing yet. JDT has said patience is needed. Maybe some people listen to him and calm down

do we really need a weekly interview with him every week? GB shouldn't be doing interviews every week or months but at the end of each transfer window and end of the season. That it. How many times do you hear from Man City Director of football or Norwich City Sporting Director? rarely JDT has answered transfer questions post match of the last 2 games.

I see West Ham being linked with Taylor. I just posted what was getting reported in the media. You owners should have issued a statement if they thought they stories about the financial problems you have with getting relegated were wrong. Its seems you renegotiation the terms of your loan agreement with Michael Dell. have you sign that left back from Chelsea? cos I thought he were still in talks to sign him.
