Its not about 2 games!! 17 points from 19 games as said above. Its about not creating chances (though I disagree we haven't created any). We had 2 clear ones last week but missed them both. That's another problem, neither Brereton nor Gallagher are big scorers, Who's going to get the goals? Its also about a poor defence letting soft goals in and a manager who acknowledges the problem but has never made it a priority.

If that's the plan----its a rotten plan! I think "plan" overstates it though.

Rovers have a policy when players reach 30 as well----we.sign them! Or give them a contract extension.

Yep, heaps of optimism, not much foundation.

Desperation time! Had we gone for him determinedly weeks ago, we might have got him.

He coasted through last season, can't see the point.

No negativity around our fine young players. We're all very proud of them

An improvement then!

Yes it does!

Yes, great idea--ignore the wages. I'd rather have Messi which makes my idea better than yours!

He's been finished for a long time. Would definitely stir up interest and push up crowd numbers---- till everyone realised he hasn't got it anymore.

Probably your's. We won't be getting a "good old-fashioned centre-half" for a start!

He did! He had a bit of a purple patch there----did 2 or 3 things right in a couple of minutes! An Indian summer though!!

You seem to be on a crusade to protect TM. I don't know why a failing manager should be immune to criticism. No other manager is, nor anyone, anywhere in a position of responsibility, as far as I'm aware. Further you persist in reminding us it's been "only one game" as if we didn't know that and hadn't factored it into our responses. That aspect has been gone into ad nauseum yet you repeat it just about every post. I won't be responding to any more of your posts. Got to agree with Stuart that you are trying to wind us up

Well, I deliberately didn't endorse him, I simply pointed out that this could well be Venky's choice. I've no idea how he'd go but its been encouraging so far.....

Played right wing though? Can't cross to save his life.

You're forgetting Damian Johnson? I don't know how he would go in the job but I think Venkys would go there first.

Like a stopped clock is right twice a day.....

Its the scouting team's job to find suitable players. Do we have one ? Fit for purpose? Preston got one for free.

Time to rate Adarabioyo is in action the but you rate him without seeing him? We all felt optimistic about Palmer this time last year. What we needed was not a teenage loan from City but a tough, experienced pro. In reality 2. Known well before the season that we needed 2 centre-backs and in all that time we couldn't find them!!! No problem with strikers though. All the excuses under the sun. It is as easy as saying "we should've spent the Gally money on a CB". Probably wouldn't have taken all of it anyway. When it comes to defenders our club is utterly amateurish.

The expectation of finishing halfway will require" further defensive enhancements!"---Is that code for "new defenders" by the way?!

You can add infinitum but the fact remains we don't spend money on defenders!

You're a hard man! I am trying to be nice. He did indeed make a hash of it. But I thought Downing's effort was pathetic.

And what a blunder that was! Anyway you're talking about a striker there or is he a "wide forward"? We don't pay money for defenders.

They were also the only 2 meaningful chances of the game for Rovers apart from the goal. Teams rarely convert 100%. Some excuse for Gallagher , the ball came very hard at him. Any touch it was a goal though.
