You are spot on here. i dont see Rovers stopping him leaving either.

wasn't 2 centre backs on the basis that Williams would move on? A right back would be ideal but not a priority at this time. I don't see why we need a centre midfield when we still got 6 or 7 options for the centre midfield roles I wouldn't be trying to move Williams on. His performances have good enough. Does he want to leave for regular first team football? Are Swansea or Cardiff still interested in him? I think signing a back up keeper and left back I would be happy with this summer business. Well its depends what actually gone on with the left back signing. Did the selling club put the price up at the last minute or player's agent demand more money. who knows. But Mowbray's comments about QPR aren't just going to give him away was maybe a sign that the price or terms had change last minute. But something happened given thats from people comments on here and social media he was set to sign here. Also when did we have a agreement to sign Garner on loan? did it get that far? do you know we had agreement from someone you know at the club? on the midfielder, a few posters have suggested Herbie Kane as a suggestion. Would he fit the type of player we want? I don't know much about him so can't comment, but I would rather use the remaining funds for a left back and back up keeper who I hope are both permanent signings Thanks Joe for the update. I would much prefer a permanent left back and back up keeper signings. I wouldn't be looking for a loan midfielder myself as I would be happy with the options we have there.

Of course any player has to earn their place in the team. Under yourself, you wouldnt then? So if Rothwell, Holtby, Brereton, Dolan are producing the goods and playing well and Rovers winning games you are drop one for Dack then? It's based on 4 games this season where 4-3-3 has worked for us by playing it differently from last season something you refuse to even accept? Do you accept this now? No false 9, Armstrong up front, Holtby deeper. I not waiting for Mowbray tho. I've said to yourself several times I would play Dack on left of front 3. How is that waiting for Mowbray? Can you answer this very basic question. It's yourself who is second guessing Mowbray by saying you play Dack as false 9 in our current formation. And move our main striker who is scoring goals for fun wide. No way on earth would I move him wide. Keep Armstrong up front and he score 25 goals and fire us to top 6 in my opinion

Have I said Dack isn't a brilliant player? But he doesn't have to play but must earn his place in the team especially if the team is playing well and getting results without him. You seem to want to bring in back into the team without earning in. If Rothwell, Dolan and Brereton are performing and winning games/producing results why would you change a winning formula? I have just told you where I would play Dack. Either on the left in front 3 or in the middle 3 but not in the false 9. But Armstrong stays up front in the 9 role and not wide. Armstrong record as striker is excellent and him going up front has resulted in 16 goals in 26 games in 2020 compare to 15 goals in 74 games before 2020 for us since signing permanent here. Or 5 goals in 3 starts and 1 sub appearance. Why wouldn't you want him up front? He is striker and not a wide player If anyone is second guessing Mowbray it is yourself by playing Dack up front and Armstrong wide. Something I wouldn't do.

I don't want to change the formation as it suits Rothwell and Holtby in the middle 3. Not bothered about last season results as we are playing the 4-3-3 formation very different now to then. Armstrong up front, Dolan and and Brereton as part of the front 3. With Holtby and Rothwell in the middle 3 with Johnson/Travis sitting. Do you accept this?

I don't think so. Looking at Mowbray's comments to Andy Bayes, one minute he says he got no money then saying we got for one permanent signing or 2 loan signings and then he says he knows to the penny how much we got to spend. So very confusing to be honest. when asked about Manning he says he like the player and we were believed to be close to signing on Friday given what has been said on here and twitter so what happen to this signing. Did the selling club pull the transfer or did the asking price change, Player fail the medical or personal terms change. We will see in the coming days and weeks. We cannot sell Armstrong for any price as he is key player in us being able to get promotion or not in my Opinion

Suggested you look at the team in posted in the best team thread. where you have put Armstrong on the left of the front 3 with Dack centre. is this incorrect? I posted how I would play Dack from the left of the front 3 or in the midfield 3 like his days at Gillingham days where he scored goals and assists. So if Dack plays from the left doesn't mean he is stuck wide but can roam from there and allowing our full back to overlap just like we currently are doing now with our full backs. why? cos you say so. We dominated at Newcastle and should have beaten them as Bruce even said post match. Plus We lost at Bournemouth but we weren't outclassed by them and deserved at least a point. The formation isn't the reason we lost either game but not taking our chances. But when you look at the formation, its working as you have got Holtby and Rothwell in centre midfield with a holding midfielder in Johnson or Travis or Evans. It allowing us more control of the games and currently working very well.

Dolan had only played under 18's football and look at him now. why would he been mis-quoted ? Left back is the priority for a next signing then a back up keeper. If you look at his comments he says we got no money and then we got enough for 1 permanent or 2 loan signings. Seems like he didn't want say much on transfers. I wouldn't be selling Armstrong for any money at all. If he plays the 9 role all season he will take us to the top 6 and possible promotion Mention Garbutt yesterday

So you want to move the club best striker in Armstrong wide in front 3 when he already scored 4 goals from the 9 position. Why would anyone do that? I wouldn't be changing formation either. This 4-3-3 formation is working and the performances are very good this season. Holtby is in form and Rothwell has produce from the role. I would use Dack from the left of the 3 man forward line with Armstrong centre and Dolan right. Plus all this Dack is all back on when he will be back which won't be the next few weeks so why we are so concern about how we get Dack in the team at the point is mooted. Plus Dack is going to need a few under 23''s games aswell, so you are looking at November time before he is available for 1st team selection. We should be performing on players available and get results. If the front 3 keep playing well why would Mowbray drop any of them? on the subject of new contract, working for a manager who has develop him and is now playing him in his favour role of striker should count for something, it probably doesn't for most players in current football we have no idea the type of player he will be when he back. He had a set back so I wouldn't be relying on him pre Christmas time.

He says we got no money but then says we can bring in 1 permanent signing or a couple of loans. Dont think Mowbray wants to say much about transfers today. He says we would know from our number 1 target the answer before today game. So we will see. We still need a left back and Back up keeper in

His direct words from.his interview with Lancs Live

I would make him the highest earner at the club and on 4 years contract

source Lancs Live website. From Mowbray during his post match interview Is there anything you can tell us on Ryan Manning? "No. That's a name you've just thrown at me. It's not true. I think Ryan Manning is a very good footballer, I imagine QPR are not going to let him walk away. "We haven't got any money to buy anybody. How much is Ryan Manning going to cross? If you're going to buy a player, you have to buy the player and then you have to give him a salary. "So I would say there is enough money to buy one player who can help us to get to where we want to be or we could loan two or three players and use that money as salary, which just becomes dead money at your club at the end of the year. "Our decision is ultimately whether to loan some players who are going to help us in a one-off season or are we going to buy one player who can be ours? "But then we've got more than one position that we feel we need to strengthen or cover, it's a difficult conundrum for us, somewhere along the line we'll see what falls in place. "If not, you saw the team today, there is a lot of young players who are doing the job. How young is that team today? It's a pretty young group of footballers who are trying their best and yet I know, and maybe you know as well, that it's very difficult to maintain consistency with seven or eight U23 players in your team all season. "We would like to strengthen in certain areas or cover in certain areas because we know the games are going to come thick and fast. "I know exactly to the penny how much we've got but it's probably a couple of loans or a signing, I would suggest, and I'm not sure I'd want to spend it all on Ryan Manning when we've got Amari'i Bell doing ok, so there's other areas I feel we need to strengthen first."

Did Nyambe have an injury or was it your call? "It was my call. At home against a team that I thought we were going to get in behind, Rankin-Costello with his ability to pick a pass even though he didn't do it well enough at times today, I felt it was a chance for Rankin-Costello to play right-back rather than Nyambe. "The first two games, Nymabe's physical data has been through the roof, higher than I've ever seen it and this was the third game in a week, we don't want another hamstring injury, another problem for another first-team player. "I just thought it was a day where we didn't need Nyambe's one-on-one defensive capability, so I sat him on the bench to give him a rest." source Lancs Live website.

Dack's comment on instagram

His working relationship with Mowbray and the fact he is playing the number 9 role finally which teams in Premier League probably wouldn't do cos of his size. So which bigger teams do you see being interest in him? Also I don't see this obsess with Dack coming back into the team. He is weeks away from being back in 1st team picture and I wouldn't be changing the formation just for Dack cos its really suiting us more, and our front 3 and midfield 3 are performing very well/excellent. Holtby is suiting this deep role and Rothwell produce 2 assists today. I wouldn't be moving Armstrong from 9 role either.

well Fraser did run of him and Nyambe did stop tracking him and was too deep beyond the rest of the defender but no reason to drop unless it was tactical or injury. Has Mowbray said why Nyambe didnt play today?

He needs to be given a new contract asap.

who knows what was discussed in Thursday meeting. Is Mowbray using the media to ask like the club is skint to get clubs to lower their demands. who knows. We need a left back and back up keeper. But after that I am happy with the squad unless someone leaves. Yes I have mention Josh Cullen from West Ham recently but thats was a discussion about potential midfielder signing if we could after signing Left back and back up keeper plus me not in favour of signing Ben Whiteman for the fee Doncaster they want. I am happy with the forward options who knows what is imminent or not with Rovers. Maybe Rovers don't want leaks to happen. We could make a signing Monday or Tuesday. Who knows

We see in the coming days and weeks. I think Mowbray is not giving everything away and keeping his cards close to chest. We deffo need a left back. and centre back if Williams moves on. Plus a back up keeper

Luke Garbutt?

nope

Forest were awful today. Cardiff deserved their win. Thinking Huddersfield are going to be big trouble and maybe should have got rid of the Cowley. Brentford beating them. Raya on bench for them. Surprise that Derby lost at Luton today.

excellent performance today. 5 goals from16 shots on target from 23 total shots. Armstrong is a striker and should play the 9 role, he's goal machine. Deserved his hat trick. This 4-3-3 formation is working well and suits Rothwell and Holtby so well and our front 3. Just a shame we wasn't at the stadium watching this performance
