Well, no it doesn't, funny how how we only came to life when we KNEW it was too late ie when Sunderland were 2 then 3 goals up.after showing absolutely nothing in the previous EIGHT games before that. Second season in a row as well. Absolutely Sickening. This set of players haven't got it and there must be massive question marks about the manager as well but he probably deserves another chance at it.

Have to disagree. He's not good enough end of. You can't have a first eleven that's upto the job then a supporting cast that's simply isn't up to it.

We spent far more than that last summer alone didn't we?

Still not convinced you could cock up TWO incoming deals in two completely different ways accidentally whilst overseeing an outgoing deal perfectly.

Not even sure it needs huge investment. The key is skilled recruitment of players who compliment each other. Wonder how much Luton have spent in transfer fees and wages the last 2 years compared with us?

Devil's advocate mode on: They did last summer AND they were allegedly prepared to pay a King's ransom in wages to bring in O Brien until any incoming January business was sabotaged either by negligence or deliberately. All that said I'd be a lot more convinced by their intentions if they potted Waggott and Broughton and appointed a competent CEO and an actual experienced DOF should they decide to continue with that model.

We already have a cheap £200k ish squad player in Hedges. Neither he nor Thomas are good enough imo unless we haven't seen anything like the best of Thomas due to him not being match fit.

Whilst I hope JDT has far more integrity than Lambert and hasn't used us as merely a convenient stepping stone back into the job market, this season has eerie parallels to the one Lambert was here, tailing off miserably and likely to be on July 1st without a single credible striker on the books. If he does walk out the next appointment would have to be a lot more Warnock than Coyle otherwise as you say League 1 awaits and I'm not sure we bounce back so readily if it happened again.

Keep saying this, because I need to, because certain people keep defending him, one of the worst players I've ever seen in a Rovers shirt, and that's over 52 years of watching us. The Jason Lowe of strikers. Absolutely useless, but managers seem to love him.

No. Hardly anyone asked either. The appeal charade was an incredibly convenient distraction.

Usually agree with nearly everything you post but I certainly wouldn't, I'd be more tempted to drop him, he's been all over the place and arguably our worst performer recently imo.

Wigan away?

Imo, if the manager is to have any chance whatsoever of success here, he has to lose his seeming obsession with Gallagher and ditch him forthwith. If we're to succeed he has to get everyone playing to their maximum, and get the team playing better than the sum of it's parts. You can't afford to carry any passengers, certainly not one as bad as that lummox.

Nope, would go through like a dose of salts. Like Markanday's.

Not bothered about Tuesday night particularly, but I'd say it's been one of the least enjoyable seasons I've seen. Might be a bit better than what was an offer under Mowbray but that's an exceptionally low bar. Good performances: (League) Blackpool/Huddersfield away Sunderland/Sheff Utd home?

Don't be childish.

(Speaking on the assumption we're going to miss out on the play offs) If he walked to join another Club I think I'd be a bit disappointed rather than devastated but despite the fact Ive been far from impressed with what I've witnessed this season he has probably just about done enough to deserve another crack at it next season. We need a competent CEO and, if we're going to persevere with the DOF model, an actual experienced DOF rather than an overpromoted Academy Head far more urgently than we need to change the manager.

As MP said, he was well backed in summer, he's probably entitled to feel extremely aggrieved about the incompetence of Broughton and Co in January though. Which players do you think have improved dramatically under him? I'd say only really JRC and in devil's advocate mode I'd say Kaminsky, Scott Wharton, Buckley, Travis Dack and Gallagher have regressed considerably under him although of course Gallagher was never any good to begin with.

Great post. Five points out of 24. If we fail to win against Millwall I'd have thought you'd be hard pushed to find a worse finish to the season ever.

Out of interest where have reports of substantial cutbacks next season come from? (Other than Nixon) Genuine question as I haven't seen anything about it other than Nixons online offering going "could" "could" "could" "might" "could" etc etc

What is it about JDT that you think it would be a massive disaster if he left? Genuine question as I'm open to be convinced BUT I'm not really seeing it at the moment. As the poster above says, irrespective of quality or lack thereof, it seems incomprehensible that we could be nonchalantly knocking the ball about at the back at one down with minutes remaining of a must win game. That's not really for me I'm afraid, a lack of quality you can forgive, a lack of desire you can not.

1000%. We had 4 years of that type of guff off Mowbray, then a new face comes in and starts espousing the same sort of nonsense and people fall for it all over again. Wake up sheeple. Heading for four points out of twenty four. Remind me why Leeds (or any Premier League Club would want our manager again?

Hedges is a woeful player. Can't believe the manager has persisted with a system that has proven not to work. Need to change it round 2nd half and put Dolan out wide and either BBD or Dack down the middle, possibly both.

Yeah, Jimmy Hill was most indignant about that as I recall.

Nah, we tried to fire the engines up seven games ago and they failed to start and have failed to start in each of seven games subsequently! It's not me that needs belief, it's the players and it's up to them to show some passion, get the job done by hook or by crook, and prove me wrong
