@glen9mullan - have you heard anything about GB - is he likely to go?

Seen enough to call it now, JDT’s tactics are a shambles and he’s either an idiot for not seeing how it breaks down in the same way every game this season or incapable of fixing it.
We will be relegated with this clown in charge.

That’s 3 performances this season that I would rank as being the worst I’ve seen since the Coyle days.
Teams have worked us out and the players are nowhere near good enough to play out from the back in the manner JDT envisions. We’re too disjointed going forward, vulnerable on the transition and having to make high risk passes time and again just to get out of our half. The tactics are naive to the extreme.
JDT is out of his depth . His tactics are naive and he doesn’t change a thing tactically during the game. We’re conceding 3 goals a game on a regular basis now and consistently struggle to keep the ball or sustain pressure. There’s no pattern of play or clear plan for how we are going to create chances. Unfortunately I think his hiring was a massive misstep and will need rectifying before the season ends if we want to avoid getting relegated.

I’m currently recovering from major surgery so will be shielding and therefore not able attend matches whilst infection rates are high. I know others who are also unwilling to attend for similar reasons.
I have contacted the club several times stating that I would be happy to renew my season ticket if iFollow was an option to attending but to date have not received a definitive answer.
It seems that the club are missing out on renewals from a significant number of fans because they are assuming that most are actually wanting to attend matches when in reality many, more vulnerable folk, are not comfortable in doing so.The club have confirmed to me today for those that have renewed - 'once supporters are allowed back into the stadium if you are shielding and do not wish to attend in person we can continue to issue iFollow codes for all home games'.
This is a positive development and brings us in line with most other clubs in the Championship.

John Eustace - our head coach
in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Posted · Edited by Wendal
John Eustace is a significant downgrade on our last two managers and I now totally understand why Brum sacked him.
The way he has set this team up doesn’t play to our (limited) strengths at all. He’s completely ripped up the style of play we’ve spent last 18 months drilling into this team and we are a much worse team as a result of it.
This 5 at the back, defend deep, hoof it up and try to win the second balls hasn’t worked in any of the league games he’s managed. Our squad is entirely unsuited to this style of play.
In his interviews he mainly spouts cliches about work rate and keeping it tight at the back without any suggestion that he knows how to setup this team to win a game of football.
All he had to do was come in - tweak the existing setup slightly and get enough points to keep us up. Instead, he’s come in, ripped up our way of playing, completely nullified our attacking play and still left us vulnerable at the back
Complete disaster of an appointment. His 33% win rate at Brum doesn’t inspire the confidence that he can get us out of this. A relegation battle is his natural level.
