And Hiddersfield are in good form, absolutely the worst time to play them.

I certainly don't back his every move. I"ve stated several times that imo Dolan should pay more regularly.I have vigourlessly criticised him for the Burnley game, which seems to me to have had long-term consequences. My post was about refuting the notion that he hasn't made mistakes. But we are where we are and, but for that January transfer window disaster, I think we'd be a lot farther. Andd we can't put the blame on him for that.

Let's not forget we beat Norwich away shall we? Nobody with any sense cold fail to see that we've gone backwards since then, for one reason or another. We've don't always have to go to one extreme or another. JDT can be criticised without that being taken to mean anyone wants him sacked! He was badly let down in the transfer window. With a decent striker and O'Brien we would probably be at least secure in the 6 or better but, that being said, his selections and substitutions have rightly come under criticism. For some reason there have been many games when we just haven't turned up. When we played Burnley, whichever team won went top. The rot started there and we are now 26 points behind them! In this situation, ridiculous to imagine that every part of the club wouldn't come under scrutiny.

0-0 would be a very good result for us. Still OK if Luton won.

So is it now an accepted fact that Wharton A is bone idle and disinterested at training and this is why he was left out and continues to be? I ask because I have no idea what goes on at training. I'm just a supporter who thought we had a real talent on out hands at one point in the season and now it seems we don't.

Or much worse Jim---2 rejects who prosper somewhere else.

It was going so well for both of them until what? The Burnley game? I support JDT but not uncritically---he made a balls-up of that one.

What's the odds on us getting a second good manager under these owners? Help! (if true).

That could bite them in the bum.

Chelsea have spent £550 million on players this season! How can they not have infringed the rules on over-spending?

A must-win! (another one).

What's happening at Stoke? Glad we got that fixture out of the way, although we did get battered! As for Luton, on the few occasions I've watched the on TV Amari Bell has played well! if that's not good coaching and managing---what is it?

71% possession! Doomed!

A red-head as well! could do with one in mid-field!

I think we look disjointed when Brereton plays these days.

We're splitting hairs here aren't we?

I can't think of any and I don't know why you would think I could. I was merely repeating what has been widely speculated in the media. Maybe he is holding off to see if we get promoted and will stay if we do. Credit to him if so. JDT doesn't seem to be seeing it that way though--resigned to losing him for free from what I read.

Widely rumoured that he has already signed. Why are you certain he hasn't?

He could have signed up for a year with a large pay increase as insurance, agreed a minimum fee which would trigger his release and take it from there. But Its all about him. Include in that a trip to play for Chile in a meaningless friendly when he could have rested up after his efforts at Bramall Lane. To add further insult he's got injured in said game when we are desperate to keep our Promotion push on track.

I would argue that for what he has gained from his time at Rovers he's giving very little back. No plaudits from me.

I do agree that Kaminski has made some "worldie" saves that Pears wouldn't have made. But that doesn't tip the balance for me. 2 top keepers----onwards and upwards!

That really is incredible, I would never have picked it.

Its a good problem to have. But in his most recent games Kaminski was going down like a sack of coal for ground shots and costing us goals. Could be that he was carrying an injury. However I still think its Pear's spot to lose. He's done nothing wrong.

Good point. Trouble is we usually lose!
