Sheffield Wednesday appointed Moore seems a decent appointment Yes around 4 years left on deal but with new owners coming in. A new manager was always likely with the club set to be takeover. Isn't Steve Clarke a Rangers fan? Aren't Celtic appointing a Sporting Director shortly and he will depend then who the new head coach will be?

Ipswich set to be take over by American business group. Thats the reason why Lambert left cos they want a change of manager from Day one

Why is it depressing? Would he even be target if Mowbray leaves?

I think you have to huge credit to Huddersfield Sporting Director Stuart Webber for hiring Wagner and the signings for that promotion. Before he left for Norwich.. I think Wagner made alot of poor signings after Webber left there But we all have different opinions on replacements and who we would go for. I also think experience Sporting director at the club with overseas head coach isnt the worst idea tbh.

Can I ask you why Wagner would be your choice? And would you be bringing a Sporting director/head coach structure with Wagner as Head Coach and experience sporting director?

The lack of permanent quality signings at Centre back is a major concern now. We had plenty of time to bring in a quality fit centre back next to Lenihan. What are expecting from 250k signing in Bell? He is going to be decent signing and I think Bell has more talent then we are seeing during his time here. But I would release him and not sign Douglas permanently in the summer. The lack of signing a right back for last 7 or 8 years as been concerning. I always wanted to sign Jack Hunt under Bowyer. I hope we bring in a right back this summer unless we have a manager who will play Pike if Nyambe is injured What random Stats? Yes we are cos we arent playing with the tempo or movement from earlier in the season and We are lacking confidence since Christmas IMO On Dack, I have always maintain that we needed to ease him back into the team and not rush him back to starting games. His best 2 performances have been from the bench like Boro away and Birmingham away. He is lacking confidence and fitness aswell. In our current formation of 4-3-3 formation we don't play with number 10 anymore. Will Mowbray move back to a 4-2-3-1 formation and can he formed a partnership with Armstrong before end of the season? can he play the 10 role with a Danny Graham type striker up front. We will see But going into next season how do we play Dack, where in the team and Who do we bring in replace Armstrong? Thats hasn't help but he 17 years old so I would expect his form to go off a some time and this is his first proper season of playing football Brereton(5 goals), Gallagher(4), Elliott(5), Rothwell(3) and Dolan(3) have all chip in this with goals. When you are playing Armstrong as the main striker in 4-3-3 formation he will get the baulk of the goals similar to when Shearer scored the baulk of our goals in our Premier League winning games. Replacing Armstrong if he does go this summer will be big task and hopefully we have already have a shortlist ready to replace him. I did a shortlist of possible replacements for him. Have you seen that and what do you think? I have watched alot of Villa this season with so many games on Live TV cos of the pandemic ongoing. Dean Smith has switched between 4-3-3 and 4-2-3-1 formations this season. You mention Grealish and Cash out but both were replace with like for like player. Smith played a 4-3-3 formation but it was the organisation and the fact that every player knew their job in that job structure that was playing Leeds. Their were solid at the back and the midfield 3 were tight and knew their positions.

I rather talk about realistic manager options instead of hypothetical questions Matty to replace Mowbray

He wants PL job and likely to be the next Palace manager. Plenty of managers out there to find a replacement for Mowbray. I gave a 4 man shortlist

I deffo wouldnt take that dingle Cook in any circumstances and he is on his way to Ipswich anyway. Hughes is on BBC this afternoon in the studio for Palace Fulham game. He one I would look at. Cowley is another one. Did a good job at Lincoln and very decent job at Huddersfield plus Managers like Artell from Crewe and Rowett from Millwall would be targets for any search for a new manager.

If we are going to sell Armstrong this summer due to him wanting PL football and Rovers needed to cash up then I hope we have been scouting replacements for him. Here is a few players I would look at to replace him 1. Luke Jephcott from Plymouth. Luke Jephcott 20/21 Highlights - YouTube 2. Cauley Woodrow from Barnsley CAULEY WOODROW - ALL 15 GOALS 2019/2020 SEASON - YouTube 3. Jordan Hugill from Norwich JORDAN HUGILL - ALL 15 GOALS 19/20 SEASON - YouTube 4. Lawrence Shankland from Dundee United (460) Lawrence Shankland | The Film | Season 2019/20 - YouTube A couple of foreign strikers. This is just based on their goals record and clips on Youtube 1. Thomas Henry who plays for Belgian club OH Leuven in the Belgian First Division A (460) THOMAS HENRY | 15 Goals - YouTube 2. Mohamed Bayo who plays as a forward for Ligue 2 club Clermont Foot.

I agree. Travis should be getting 5 goals a season and Rothwell 10 goals plus a season if they are playing them roles in 3 man midfield. Lampard was different class. If you look at our Premier League winner season, Sherwood was our third top goalscorer with 6 goals and Atkins with Wilcox was joint fourth top goalscorer with with 5 goals.

Rothwell goal at Boro when he got into the box and scores. But it isn't a regular event tho

true, But its rare that any of our centre midfielders which there is generally 3 off get into the box enough. We played Travis, Evans and Rothwell yesterday. Travis and Rothwell should be getting into the box regularly and leave Evans sitting in front of the back 4

My point was over the last 3 seasons since we got promoted from League 1 that we haven't made good quality defensive signings. You mention us signing John Egan from Brentford(before his Sheffield United move) and I mention us signing Michael Hector at that time. Plus other names we mentioned since then like Pinnock, Lindsay, Jansson, Carter-Vickers, etc we should have tried to sign and get them in. We need a left back and we got Douglas who has been poor this season overall. I suggested Pickering last summer as the answer to the left back problem based on a scouting report from a Rovers chat member. right back- We have never had any competition for Nyambe in 3 seasons. So why hasn't Mowbray sign one? Players have gone off form over that time like Elliott has, Brereton got injured, The use of false 9 position, Dack has been not the player he was pre injured but that was expected and it will be months before and next season for me. Look at how Villa played the 4-3-3 formation yesterday. So well organised, structured solid and their players knew their jobs and what was expect from them. Did you see the Leeds vs Villa game? I sometimes wonder what our players are told before the games. I don't think our players have the willing and want to get into the box when the ball is wide.

They was an article last night on The Sun website on Armstrong's asking price and that is 25 million pounds we asking for. Blackburn slap whopping £25m price tag on West Ham target Adam Armstrong despite striker being free agent in 2022 (thesun.co.uk) They could be news on Mowbray's future just not online article Would Myers have any inside knowledge on Mowbray's future. why does his vote of confidence on facebook now?

why Paul Cook?

Would he even notice tho? And getting it trending on Twitter is going to do nothing. The decision was by made by the owners not Pasha

Barnsley away when we played 3-5-2

When was the last time any CEO recommended sacking a manager? Shebby and Paul Hunt. Shaw or Myers never suggested sacking Bowyer. Or brought in Lambert.

I was going to post this in the match day thread but think this thread is more appropriate see that it's about the formation Mowbray wants us to play under him. He wants to play 4-3-3 this season but apart from a few games and wins we lack the organisation, players understanding their roles and knowhow of playing it. Look at Dean Smith's Aston Villa team today at Leeds and this season they looked so organised and understanding their jobs. Plus he played the same at Brentford. Very good manager

Not for me. Paul Hunt is an example of owners not listening to the CEO's Advice

And?
