Hasnt suggested that he wouldnt judge him in a Rovers shirt though.

I dont think Ohashi is a player who should be regularly starting and that stat is objective (if it is that many games). He would be a useful squad player which based on Eustace saying he replaced Telalovic was the intention. I dont think I have said that Gueye is our worst striker we have ever had. He clearly isnt. I dont recall any worse finishers than him to be honest, with his feet. He has had 2 good displays this week and I have praised him lots but he needs to start scoring goals. Leonard should be out on loan. Hes young and not yet up to Championship standard. The loan would be to help to develop him to hopefully be able to play for us in the future as opposed to being 4th choice. They are my opinions, you implied not rated across the board. And we only play 1 up front so 2 of them are squad players anyway. The main reason that we have been so high is Eustace getting every last drop out of them, having us so orgaised and the star performers have been all defensively, and the likes of Tronstad, Travis, Beck, Hyam, Batth, Carter, Brittain and Pickering I do rate.

I dont think people are writing him off. Just saying its an underwhelming signing. Im sure as with everyone he will be judged in a Rovers shirt if he signs.

Well another manager presumably wouldnt play stupidly attacking football especially without some players and probably could get more than 1 point in 7 games. So yes. No idea who they would appoint. I dont think Mason did very well last time but maybe wrong. They would surely get a good manager in as soon as they could.

I bet most of them are squad players and we have seen that once you get past our first 11, the depth is non existent. Whatever his reasoning was behind standing where he did, he got it horribly wrong and made a mistake.

No it wasnt. He made error after error last year, he was an absolute liability. Just marginally less terrible than Wahlstedt. And this year, it hasnt just "calmed down." Hes had plenty of praise.

Its hard to get excited about Kargbo potentially signing. We do need a quick winger, mind you we thought we were getting that with ACD. And he would be permanent. But its hard not to draw paralells with Telalovic, he seemingly thrived in Serie C and has struggled in Serie B. Its not a signing befitting a Championship play off push and even chaddy was critical of it. No doubt he will be our only permanent signing too. With one or two loans on top.

Oh come on. Haters? Dieing to bounce on him? Constant stupid criticism? He has had loads of praise this season. He messed up yesterday though.

Do you have the tweet?

Definitely not over 12 months. Hes been better over 6 months but Tronstad has been mr consistent. But equally, obviously he shouldnt be dropped especially as Toth looked dodgy v Coventry.

Surely thats Ange at the job centre.

I think Emerton was similar at a higher level.

I think a name briefly mentioned.

He was, and he wasnt and isnt a very good manager, but which managers arent in it for themselves? Did he speak highly of the owners?

It was the summer we spent £10m. He was clearly just managing expectations. Either way, another deflection of blame.

Brittain is definitely not half as effective anywhere other than at right back. But what made you think he was ready to start at Championship level and to move one of our best performers this season out of the way to accomodate it?

Yes, it was Tony Mowbray who stopped them from otherwise putting all of their efforts into promotion. Obviously a rumour, but maybe another thing to question on in general added to an already unfortunately lengthy list, @K-Hod what has happened to the vacant chief scout role after Park left?

I very much doubt it made any difference, nor do I think that his improvement is in any way down to Toth "putting pressure on him. An error has been in the post. He made one at Oxford that lead to a goal disallowed and one v Pompey that wasnt deemed a penalty, wasnt put away and we even instantly scored on the counter.

Its not the stats necessarily, its the standard. He has dropped out of the side since he moved up from Serie C to Serie B.

Preston have some decent midfielders already. Dont they know that they can only get someone worse than them and it doesnt matter how bad, the logic can be "well we couldnt get as good."

Even if whoever we signed wasnt as good as those 2. You are defending Forshaw as if there isnt a sliding scale of how inferior any player is to those 2. My issue isnt even that Forshaw isnt as good. It is that he is so much worse, that he isnt good enough to step in.

Yeah, for the free kick the goal felt inevitable with Twine such a good taker and Pears standing too far towards the far post.

I do want pace. But not pacy players who cant hit a barn door. They have to have some ability too. Yes, I disagree massively with Elliott Jackson. I would have Buckley at 5/10. I actually said Forshaw was marginally better than Buckley but this isnt some some of bias against him. If he plays well I will happily say. I think playing him deep exposes his big weakness. He initially impressed further forward a few years ago where he isnt at risk of being disposessed near our goal.

I know we are talking about a squad player. My point is pretty clear. Wont be able to get quite as good as the main 2. But its not a case of, well we cant get someone is good so it doesnt matter how bad he is. Baker was reasonable cover, not as good as the main 2 but still a solid player. Forshaw is not good enough to provide reasonable cover. Had we signed Jason Lowe for the role, you could still use your argument. As if you are saying, it doesnt matter how bad he is, we arent going to get as good as Tronstad or Travis and hes a squad player so why does it matter.

If we want pace and zero footballing ability surely our recruitment should go to athletics. Hes a donkey. No one said we could get someone on par with Travis and Tronstad. Like with Baker, there will be a downgrade. But he was a Championship standard, decent downgrade. Its the level of the downgrade to Forshaw that is the issue.
