Hull City 1 nil down after 3 min. Clear pen. Hull City are going down at this rate

Championship football wages in 2018/19 vs income and average wage at each club

I would set up like this Walton Nyambe Lenihan Adarabioyo Downing Travis Davenport Rothwell Samuel Graham Armstrong

Lenihan to score the winner on Saturday

Looks like Travis will be fit for the game but Wiiliams, Bell, Evans injured. Brereton banned. Buckley is back.

I know that's what Mowbray said as yourself and others at the meeting reported that. Aswell as other items discussed Williams is a centre back who can also play left back. Tosin was signed to be 1st choice here otherwise City wouldnt loan him to us IMO.

You want him sack and I dont..end of.

I expect to see some signings from the scouting network this summer. But you cant judge the scouting network on 1 window but over a medium or long term period

And we sign defenders next seasons. You know my thoughts on how we spent the 5 mil. So why keep going over it time after time. You take your time integrate youngsters into the squad. You cannot just throw them in at the deep end. We see about the scouting network in the next few seasons. Your problem is you and others is that bringing in a new scouting system and network takes time to develop and get it work properly as any manager would tell you

And defenders did come in. Adarabioyo and Cunningham.

Cos of a conversation that a friend of mine with Mowbray after the last supporters consultation meeting.

Ian Evatt appointed Bolton Wanderers head coach

I think you are correct that something isn't right about this deal with this new owner

on your points 1. Mowbray stays in place as we will be past last season points and places by end of the season 2. Different managers want to work with their staff they know and trust. No one has said we will plucking signings from all 4 corners of the globe tho have I? NO! Rovers have targeted different leagues where we hope to find players we can sign. Managers might want a British based squad or number of different scenarios. 3. no one is expecting an influx of signings but 6 sensible signings is what we need. You would say we have gone backwards in terms of recruitments so support your points. I would disagree with that. 4. Well why shouldnt I be naming the Young players Mowbray and his staff are bringing through and developing. You have to make sure the young players are ready for championship before playing them. Players like Carter, Vale, Thompson are players Mowbray and his staff rate and are looking to bring through. Mowbray wants to loan Thompson and Hilton out next season so they can play regular 1st team football. With regards to Rankin-Costello he has started 3 games and only 1 in his natural position on the wide left. one at left back and one in a number 10 role which he didn't suit it one bit. Personally I think you are over critical of him. I have watched these players coming from through the under 18's and under 23's and hopefully in the 1st team. Its great to see that Rovers have so many good prospects coming through and path way for them into the 1st team squad and 11. 5. I have told you my thoughts on this already and you keep ignoring them so I am going to leave it there cos i am bringing my head against brick wall

Football is a job to Lenihan. No offence Stuart but Family is the number 1 priority before a simple game of football. He wanted to be side of his wife for the birth of 1st child. You will never get that experience again. We arent in Wigan situation at all. Venkys are paying the Bill's every single season so far. No idea when the baby was born and that should be no fans concerned at all.

I hope Wigan survives but it will be a very difficult time to find a buyer. Wasn't Joe Royle and his son in charge of the club. I think Whelan will buy the club but he wont finances it like last time and massive cut backs will have to happen

can believe Stuart is still saying Lenihan should have missed the birth of his first child for just one game of football. I'm sorry but family comes first every time and so it should.

Thanks Yes I did as I felt a good centre back partner for Lenihan was a must. Plus an experience keeper. My hindsight point about Gallagher was he could have been success if he had score goals like before. not about what the priorities where last summer which was keeper, Left back and centre back. we got all 3 but Walton has been overall poor, Adarabioyo has been good and Cunningham got injured early doors. We had no assets at the club when he came into the club we do now Mulgrew has to go this summer. I think he might go loan to SPL club or overseas possibly. I would give Downing and Graham a new 12 months Johnson, Evans and Bennett have 12 months left on their contract So they will be gone in 12 months time, and we have Buckley, Davenport coming through. I have said we need 6 signings this summer and the return of Dack and we can challenge for the playoffs. I have always been fan of us having 2 or 3 different formations so we can have plan B or C.

so on to your points. 1. yes 6 games to go with 4 games against top half which statically we do better against. 2. Different managers use and want different things from the scouting department. Not every manager will want signings from Europe or from the leagues we have scouted. Some managers will want to bring in their own scouts or head of recruitment. 3. We all know what want on with us trying to get a replacement in for Raya who wanted out from Rovers. Mowbray has said he is going to try to bring Adarabioyo back to Rovers if he can next season. Downing will deffo get another 12 months and right so. His influence is waning since Lockdown. really? He had a good game against Bristol City, Poor at Wigan and Okay yesterday. On Summer signings, I have said what we need in terms of recruiting signings this next transfer window which is around 6 signings without losing any key players. 4. Rankin Costello and Buckley are a symbol of Mowbray and the staff at Brockhall working and developing these academy players. Chapman and Davenport arent from our Academy which was my original point. We have Hayden Carter, Lewis Thompson, Jack Vale, etc who are exciting prospects coming through our Academy setup and hopefully into the 1st team 5. 6 games to go and still Cardiff, WBA, Leeds and Millwall to play so we have a chance. Might not be a great chance but still a chance. Mowbray has said he has different transfer targets lists depending on the budget plus as I have highlighted to yourself several times which you overlook every single time we have no restart date, no decision on FFP rules being relax like UEFA have done, possible salary cap coming in, The latest Coronavirus situation

Huddersfield winning 2 nil at Birmingham currently

What type of centre back is he? what his strengths and weaknesses? Can I asked respectful why you know so much about Preston youth team? a friend or family member on staff there?

Like I said Mowbray has his faults. I have posted my thoughts on the Brereton and Gallagher signings over the past months and years. I did think Brereton signing was a good signing at the time from what I seen of the player at that time. Now if both signings have fired us to promotion then he would be hailed as a hero and masterclass Mowbray. Other teams have wasted money on Strikers over the last year but only hindsight time you this. Why are so many people obsess who the captain is. Cos tbh it doesn't matter in all honest Yes the club is in much better state when he took over and no I disagree he has taken the club as far as he can.

Well Uefa and FIFA have fixtures schedule for the around the start of September for national teams to play. Plus we have European competitions to be played in August. I am more than to sign up for 2 seasons season ticket right now. The question is how are fans going to watch games next season if we arent allowed back into stadiums when the restart starts I can see around a date of 19th of September as a possible date.

https://www.sportskeeda.com/football/what-is-a-false-nine-football-tactics-explained Firmino at Liverpool is a false 9 striker. I have seen Messi or Fabregas play the false 9 role under Pep at Barcelona or Sterling has at City. Also Spain national played a false 9 during their successful time at national level

hows long is a piece of string Mercer with 1st question If we was lower than last season place finish next season after a number of games I think we have improve from last season to this season. He has improved players like Nyambe, Lenihan, Travis and Armstrong into key players for our club and the future. He is bringing through players like Rankin Costello from our academy so I am pleased we are bringing through more and more of these players. His signings of Downing and Adarabioyo have been very good additions. Plus we have invested time and money into this European scouting Network so we have to give him time to make it work. Plus without Dack for half the season and us being so close this season means that with next season with a few good additions including an experience 1st choice keeper, partner for Lenihan and 1st choice left back I feel we can make the playoffs. With FFP rules and from what we can see in the accounts there does appear to be very little room for manoeuvre unless these FFP rules are change or relaxed for a season or 2.. Plus isn't our wage budget around mid table to lower half of the league. Yes Mowbray does have his faults and no one can deny this but I am believe that there is more positives than negatives about Mowbray's time at the club. Yes people will disagree with my point of view and that's fine by me. Everyone has their opinion on the type of manager or possible manager names they would like to see and the style of play they would like to see us play to progress us forward but I am happy with Mowbray to remain manager for next season.
