his job is part time with Northern Ireland so not going to impact his role here. Also helps him develop even more if he take over which I hope he does

Aren't the administrators going to investigate why the club were put into admin so quickly after a change of ownership

that's my feeling on this. I agree that I honestly think Damien Johnson will take over from Mowbray when he goes.

missus cuts my hair monthly But we need to play Downing there as he hasnt enough impact in deep playmaker in the last 2 games and playing Bennett is costly us. Not his fault as he isn't left back. but needs must

I didn't mention Mowbray in this point but more to the long term future of the club whoever the manager or head coach over the coming years that bring through our academy players season on season is important to the future of the club. You didn't really answer the questions I pose. I would expect Rankin Costello and Buckley to become 1st team regulars over the next couple of seasons. Would you agree with that? and the money we are spending on the academy that we keep promote the youth that are good enough for the 1st team squad? Do you get to many under 18's and 23's games or just the 1st team games? Is he playing this 4-3-3 system cos Dack is injured and cos he doesn't think Downing can play in 2 man midfield cos of the way Derby manage to get through our midfielders so easy in that game. Did you not see my comments about having Armstrong as number 9 not as a false 9? You ask why I picked Graham in that role and Armstrong wide and I answered that cos of the way Leeds play and that we need a focus point to play off and hold the ball up. You said the same thing last summer and Wigan took Mulgrew eventually. Didn't someone on here said he had offers from MLS and Australia in January or February but refuse them. We aren't going to agree on Bennett but did you not see me agree with Blueblood point on the role that Bennett should be played on. We have no idea on what Johnson's wages are so it is speculation and pointless, That's why it is important that we have a proper scouting system and data analysis departments doing the work that gone into the recruitment of signings. Something that under these owners hasn't been in place and it cost us millions. They are gems of signings overseas has Brentford or Forest have shown but there is also gems in league 1 who are capable of playing championship football. I quite like 2 centre defenders in the 1st playoff game today but I dont know what they would cost in terms of fees or wages.

I do support the economy and my local Butchers, fruit and vegetable shop and British businesses. You already know my feelings on this from our discussions in non football related threads. Get the missus to do it. no not at all. Read the posts thats I have made on this. Not said Bennett could play Left back but he was playing there due to 3 injuries and not wanting to move Downing from that deep playmaker role

Thankyou for knowledge that he has made Nyambe, Travis and Lenihan key players for our club and that's why I am fan of promote even more young players when they are ready for the 1st team. I would expect Rankin Costello and Buckley to become 1st team regulars over the next couple of seasons. Would you agree with that? and the money we are spending on the academy that we keep promote the youth that are good enough for the 1st team squad? Do you get to many under 18's and 23's games or just the 1st team games? I don't anyone could defend that the signings of Brereton and Gallagher haven't work out for Mowbray and that's is disappointing. I don't think Brereton was even a target for us until the last 2 or 3 days of that window when Karanka and Forest made him available for sale. I would say that Preston have pick up some bargains over the years like Ben Pearson or Daniel Johnson or Sean Maguire. The scouts and recruitment department at Preston deserve credit for that but that's been one of my biggest problem of the Venkys reign is the lack of investment into the scouting and recruitment departments over the years and having a proper scout structure in place, This is the 1st time we have scouting system in place with scouts looking overseas and our data analysis department as well. Hopefully this season we will see the benefit of the investment this summer and the future. Bennett, Johnson and Mulgrew have 12 months left on their contract and hopefully Mulgrew moves on cos he shouldn't be part of the 1st team squad anyone. Bennett and Johnson are squad players and we should use their experience. I like Lambert and thought given time would have got us top 6 within his time at the club. I was told that Lambert never trusted Venkys from day 1 and that's why he had that walk away clause in his contract before he would joined the club. Also he walk away cos of the lack of communication between him and the owners. He did a detail plan for his vision for the club going forward and sent it to the owners and never had a response, Also IMO, that's the lack of CEO at the club was a massive issue for him as he face similar problems at Villa. He made some good signings and he was always going to sell Rhodes from when he joined the club as he isn't his type of striker, He mostly played with a Target man striker with skilful number 10 during his time as a manager until his Ipswich time.

I think he is annoyed by the last 2 performances by some players and us not taking as chances when we have had perfect opportunities to score. I am annoyed at Samuel for not taking his chances when he has had them. Well it would be be good if we knew what the targets was from the owners to Mowbray but we never hear from them and I expect we wont. Yes we can all suggest what the targets should be from us but what are the owners targets I think you make a good point on Bennett and Gallagher. I feel that is Bennett is moved around the team and played out of positions cos he gave his all for this club, wont complain like some players would and will play anywhere for our club as he has said he the past. I agree with your point on Bennett role within the club I would hope that Gallagher is working on his physical side of the game all season.

He is doing both roles.

I barely go out unless it food shopping or visiting my parents. I keep more than 2 metre distance from everyone when out. I dont need to go to the pub now. I can wait until it's back to normal. Nope. What I said was I didnt want move Downing from the deep playmaker role he was playing. Since the 1st game, we had to play Bennett there which isnt right for the team. So we have to play Downing there.

I still got loads of time left in my lifetime to go the pub.

So @JacknOry Here are 2 comments that back up my point above so will you withdraw the wrong comment above please?

I never said we should use the false 9 at all tho? So your comment above is wrong and should be withdrawal. I said we should continue the 4-3-3 system but play a number 9 like Armstrong up front. Also just for record some posters didn't know what a false 9 was so I found the info what the role is and players who play this role.

Pub. No social distancing, no time restrictions, etc

That's the government guidelines. Down to landlord to enforce it. I wont be going pub for months till back to normal

Still lost the game

Very good manager Well we had a chance to get him before we appointed Coyle and before joined his club he supported as a kid. We missed out

Not if they are full

We have 16th higher wage budget from the last accounts we can see. Yes 16th. When was the last time either McCarthy or Pulis got a team from this league promoted? Genuine question Brentford head coach Thomas Frank was 1st coach under Dean Smith before he left for Villa just for record.

Only allow 2 hours in pub I believe

Looks like Jude Bellingham off to Dortmund this summer from Birmingham. 23 million euros the fee

Do you ever stop digging at Mowbray Mercer? Its constant. Have a day off for abit. We are mid table Championship club with lower half wage bill and you are comparing us to a club who have the best coach in the world and can sign anyone they want. Very unrealistic Mercer!

Who knows till 1st of April 2021. We see then. Rest of it is all speculation

Leeds budget in terms of wages and budget is double what ours is. Our Wage bill is 16th in league based on 2018/19 figures. Leeds is 7th

Great listen about Wigan's problems if anyone is interested.
