Wharton out but it's not serious, if it was the play off final tomorrow he'd be playing (JDT's words) Ennis won't start either. As someone else said, a striker needs to start, so the only one left is Telalovic.

---------------Wahlstedt Hill-----Carter-----Hyam-----Brittain ---------Tronstad----JRC Moran-----Szmodics----Sigurdsson ------------------Ennis No idea on the score but we are least retained a better shape and weren't as wide open against Coventry. Keep it like that but add Ennis and Sigurdsson in from the off and we'll stand a much better chance.

It's an absolute must win. Can't believe we are at this stage already.

No chance. Venkys won't release him from his contract. Only way he's leaving is if another club takes him but as he's leading us into a relegation battle, can't see that happening. Remember, results are secondary to the higher ups.

Absolute must win on Saturday. We're in trouble here.

FFS!

Telalovic or Ennis gotta get on for the last 10, surely?

Great ball by JRC, I guess that's what you'll get over Travis charging around like a maniac.

As my "WTF is that" post was quoted, that's not strictly true is it?

Great run by Dolan, had absolutely nothing on but managed to draw a foul.

Yeah I'm watching via skysports app (red button essentially)

Hill is at RB, Brittain at LB

What the F**k is that?

He's got it all to prove, for sure. There is just the small ray of hope that because his current injury isn't related to his original one, we might just have that one sorted 🤞 But at the minute, it looks like he's just going to be consistently injured. You could be right and he's just one of those players. Definitely not ideal.

Can only assume Ennis was signed with the expectation that they could resolve whatever injury issues he has/had and get him up to speed. Obviously, there is a potential risk to that. His latest injury was an impact one he received during the Hull game wasn't it? So not a recurrence of his original injury.

Yep, a loss coupled with wins for Watford (away at Sunderland), QPR (away at Leeds) and Swansea (at home to Norwich) will do it. Tbf I think draws for Watford and Swansea would do it because of our horrific goal difference. Personally, I don't think QPR or Watford will win but I don't think Rovers will either.

Despite their horrible start to the season Boro have now won 3 on the bounce and have jumped above us in the league.

----------------Wahlstedt Brittain-----Hill-----Hyam----Pickering -------Travis---Tronstad---Wharton Moran--------Szmodics-----Sigurdsson Gotta switch things up a touch. Give Carter a rest and give Hill a shot at staking a claim. Tronstad seems to be hardly used and I don't know if he's just not good enough but we have limited options. Hoping a holding midfielder might make some difference in stemming the flow of goals we concede, as well as putting 3 in the middle. Let Travis and Wharton do their thing. Front 3 all have to start.

The Daily record had him at 28/1 for the next Rangers manager. Behind names like Bielsa, potter, Hasenhuttl, marsch, Muscat. Not sure if they'll go for JDT but you never know. No way in hell he'd turn them down if approached.

I think his reputation is in pretty good shape right now tbh. We are getting some plaudits for our "playing style" and he's obviously not been backed over the summer. The CEO bizarrely went on record saying his remit is to develop players and stay in the championship. He can easily point to several players who have improved and a batch youngsters he's integrated into the first team. If, we continue to leak goals like a sieve and end up in the bottom 3 for any reasonable length of time, that's when his reputation might start getting some question marks.

Something is clearly not working, despite this "cavalier" approach and creating more chances, we've still only scored 13 goals, which is pretty average in comparison to the rest of the league. Hugely concerning that along with Southampton, we've conceded the most goals in the league (20). I'm not buying his "it's individual errors" costing us goals argument as we're now shipping, on average, over 2 goals per game. He absolutely needs to rethink this approach and address the balance, we aren't going to win many games if we keep conceding goals at this rate.

Sutton sounds like he's nailed it. We are a development club. Waggott said it, stay up and develop players, that's the only aim. That's the message from the top. Abysmal.

Meh.

Oh yeah forgot about them signing him......and every other professional footballer in world football.

Loving this draw, feels like under JDT we can cause an upset against most teams. Huge shame it's not been picked for TV.
