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

We have '"bottled" it because whatever your view on the personnel we have, they were good enough to get into a seemingly unassailable position in the first place but we've capped the season off with (so far) a run of four points out of twenty one. It's not like we tried, but never forced our way into the play off places at any point. Same situation last season when we blew an even more promising position after the end of January.

It would be lunacy to sign Ayala up to any form of extended deal, just get rid. Similarly, offload Gallagher and that ought to free up a reasonable amount of space on the wage bill. Dack I would keep personally, don't think he's had a fair shake of things this season but viewed dispassionately it's hard to make a case for him continuing as one of our top earners unless he is a regular starter.

Need to shake it up a bit, we could have played until the same time next week against Burnley and not scored. Dack has to start for me and it goes without saying Adam Wharton needs to retain his place. Not really expecting a positive result whatever we do. The ship has long since sailed unfortunately.

Who for?

Catches the eye with his movement as he tends to buzz about a lot but the problems start when he actually receives the ball at which point our moves tend to break down, we lose momentum or he gives the ball away. Very poor player imo, get rid.

Amen to that.

Particularly agree on the point abut Adam Wharton. You could see after the Blackpool away game he was different gravy. How many points has leaving him out for most of the season when available cost us?

Bit like here you mean?
