    Blimey, there's some dewy-eyed romantic view of the Tomasson era on here when the reality is he's left the club in the middle of a relegation fight after a calamitous sequence of results. Ambition and optimism and a good personality are fine qualities but a coach also has to know to organise a defence properly and set up a team not to give away soft goals. Tomasson was a busted flush IMO, canny Championship managers had him and Rovers worked out in the second half of last season

     

     

    💯

    Foe a start he hasn't got a striker worthy of the name. Our squad is also short on numbers as the injuries mounted up.

    Exactly as forecast on here. IfJDT didn't "moan" in these circumstances it would be very odd.

    If we look at that team that started vs QPR we should be beating them. I’m not talking about being top 6, we should be better than 5 points in front of the bottom 3!

  3. JDT- I like him as a person and clearly has a style of play that he wishes to play.

    However, he is the COACH. His job is to make the players better players.

    Look at the state of the goals conceded this season- thats not on Venkys or management.

    I am tired of the moaning and groaning about the lack of players- he has enough players to make us a competitive side.

    I think Wagott and anyone else who is complicit in the McGuire transfer should be fired but JDT should be right behind them.

  4. So it’s finally over!

    My two pennies for what it’s worth…

    1. we clearly couldn’t spend any money this window so all the signings have a kick the can down the road vibe.

    2. We should survive but don’t expect much more from this squad.

    3. We have added experience to the squad which I am happy about.

    4. The owners have decisions to make in the summer. If the money issues are resolved then they have shown that bills will be paid and then perhaps we get to spend 10 million out of the 23 million we will have sitting somewhere. (It’s the hope that kills you!)

    5. McGuire- I’m glad we did the right thing and signed him. He also has much needed pace and movement with the ability to finish, I am excited to see him play.

    Do you really believe that?

    The bottom of barrels are being scraped here. Ditto McGuire.

    We've £20m in the savings account now (allegedly). These freebies only indicate to me that they never had any decent long term signings lined up and don't intend to spend our newfound riches on players

    2.5 mill for McGuire and 500k for the defender?

    Just watching first half of Leeds vs PNE.

    Its immediately obvious that north end are everything that we aren’t.  They’re well organised, solid and most importantly appear on today’s evidence to have individual players that can go head to head with their direct opponent. They give nothing away. 
     

    Comparing that to our squad is comparing chalk to cheese. Our problems seem fundamental to me and not something that can be solved overnight with a couple of cheap loans or freebies. 

     

    Yet there are six points separating us.

    our problems are that we are overly reliant on youth players and desperately need experience and are being hampered by injuries. Carter and Pickering are two first choice defenders gone for a while and we have lost Hill, Hyam has only just got back as well as pears- tough time.

    Surely we don't spend £4m on Cresswell and not a striker.

    Seems promising we have a bit of money to spend, hopefully we use that ESC and bring in a gem.

    He is 6ft 3 and great in the air- won 83% of his aerial battles this season and scored 4 goals in 28 games last year- get him in! Also a striker please- who knows what is going to happen.

    Sshh. Apparently nobody will buy a loss making 2nd division club and you just have to hope the current owners never leave or the club will disappear.

    Also notice that their owner has managed to invest without hiding behind FFP rules as an excuse.

    Sold one player for 19 million Euros and all transfers in the two years after have been cost less than that.

    Broughton is a penis, well actually limp dick

    Objectively I think he has done a good job. The renewal of contracts is something to be acknowledged. Our cash buys on the whole have been excellent and to get the right squad overall will take time. We are also running on a budget of 15% less than last year. This is not Greggs or JDTs fault.

  10. I have had a night to recover for that nonsense yesterday.

    positives- we can outplay anyone in this league and have some outstanding young players in the squad.

    negatives- CM, either Travis needs to sit deep alongside Wharton or we need a third CM in there like Garrett because at the moment there is literally a hole and our defence is getting over run. Dolan needs to be dropped as well as Pears- yesterday was one of the worst goal keeping performances I have seen in a long time. Why does he always flap his hands at the defence like they should be doing something?

    top 6? Let’s target top 10 and a decent cup run 😂
