Wing Wizard Windy Miller

Dack finally starting to look like he gives a shit.

Absolute crock. Whole back 4 needs replacing.

Inclined to agree. I think that TM sees Rovers as his last job and wants to leave a legacy, culminating in promotion to the Prem. Obviously, this is what we all want. That said, he isn't tactically astute enough to over-achieve with a team that aren't good enough. The only chance he has of promotion, is through having players that are as good as (or better) than other teams in the division. That will only come (in the relative short term) by upgrading players and paying the associated costs. If Venkys are willing to throw money at it, he should be snapping their hand off, as it's the only way he will succeed here. Oh, and Tony, highlighting how far behind clubs we were miles ahead of ten years ago, isn't a measure of progress.

Absolutely. If anything, he should be telling this bunch that they have to up their game massively over the next 14 games. If they don't look like they can - then they should be out in July and replaced by players who can. That's recruiting for a promotion push surely?

Hardly surprising we have the worst crossing statistics in the league when we haven't played a winger out wide. Horses for courses and all that..

What statistics?

No, I don't either, yet he is close to wrecking all the positivity built last season. Unless we finish strongly or see some kids come flying through from the under 23s. ST sales will plunge again.

I hope some of you lads that go to the TM evening, ask some forthright questions.

Lennihan may become one. Mulgrew isn't. Rodwell needs to be besides a dominant cb.

Think the last paragraph sums it up. Done with Mowbray now.

Bell end Product. Finally

Needs dropping .

Hurrah

Dynamic players don't fit TM's remit.

Rothwell done more in 5 mins than half the side

Finally

Got out of jail there.

Why is Conway still on the pitch?

I see we've come out fired up. Be 2 down soon

Played averagely against an appalling side, who've handed us chances on a plate...and we're losing. The constant behind our crap defensive performances over last couple of years is Mulgrew. Although I think someone like Allardyce would bin the whole back line and keeper. If we have any aspirations of promotion in the next year or 2, we need to sort the defence ..yet it's not an issue for TM.

The lad had nobody within 5 yards if him in the middle of our own box.

Think they will be the dark horses for the promotion spot.

That's a shit line up. Watch us win 2-0

Mowbray also said he was happy with his squad in January. Does that indicate he wants to bring in the 4-5 you feel we need?

We needed 4-5 quality signings this year, what makes you think he will make them in summer?? Bennett was brilliant on the wing? He made a couple of decent runs with no end product. I like the lad but he isn't a winger in a million years. His career goals/assists ratio is shocking. If that was brilliant wing play then we are setting the bar very low.
