That would be my team too. We have only one player who has genuine quality as a creative force and that is Cantwell. Cantwell SHOULD NOT be shunted to the left where his talent is wasted (conversely, akin to playing Gallagher wide right where his limitations were even more exposed) - he should be there in the 10 role and given as much of the ball as possible. IMO, Dolan is a headless chicken with little or no football intelligence and he needs shunting out of the team completely, preferably to another club. I think our standard of performance has dropped alarmingly over the last half dozen games and we have been a very hard watch. We badly need some creativity and football intelligence and Cantwell and Siggy should be given their heads. My fear is Eustace won't see the light and make the changes necessary and Wednesday will be another turgid performance with a revitalised and good WBA team running out winners by at least 2 goals.

My team Toth /JRC, Batth, Carter, Beck / the 2 T's / ADC, Cantwell, Weimann / Gueye Don't want to see Hyam, Pickering, Baker, Dolan anywhere near that team. We got off to a good start but think it's clear we flattered to deceive after some of the dross seen over our last 4 games. Cantwell has to play the 10 role and be given licence to go anywhere and do what he wants - the one quality offensive player we have with great technique and vision. Wish Dolan would feck off to another club, IMO, a vastly overrated little upstart. Difficult one to call without knowing Eustace's selections / tactics for this game. Think it might be one boring draw.

We are roughly a fifth of the way through the league season. Based on what I've seen of the Championship so far, we are light years away offensively from the 7 clubs above us and even a number below us. I look at our offensive 4 and only Cantwell gives me hope, possibly ACD as well. If Ohashi gets the service then he might deliver. Eustace needs to be bold in his selections otherwise a turgid mediocrity awaits us at best.

There's no doubt, Eustace has hit a wall. We need some big brave and bold selections - lets see if he has the cojones! Based on what I've seen so far, Beck is our best signing of the window - sadly, he's only a loan player. Undoubtedly, he should start every game as our left back. After the international break, Cantwell has to be the first name on the team sheet in the offensive 'front' 4. No p1ssing about, play him where his influence is greatest and that means in the number 10 role with Dolan jettisoned to history. ACD must also be given a run of games, he could, and I mean could, be sensational. How do we get the best out of Ohashi is the poser. With Cantwell's craft and guile in the 10 role and ACD's lighning pace down the flank, feels like he would have many more scoring opportunities. Sadly, looks like Gueye might prove to be a poor man's Gallagher. His inability to even cleanly strike the ball is very worrying. As for Toth, I only hope he proves to be the long term answer to our issues between the sticks. Think we'll soon find out if Eustace is either a 'dud' or the 'real thing'.

Some perspective called for. Our home wins have come across teams presently 22nd, 17th, 12th and 10th in the league. We have also been bounced out of the Carabao by a then managerless League 1 side. Our last 3 away games (1 point against a 10 man team and 2 losses) have come against teams presently 20th, 19th and 14th in the league. I would suggest the wheels have started to come off. Eustace's selections, tactics and game management have been found sadly wanting in our last 4 games - you can excuse 1 game as these things happen but 4 consecutive games is a big concern. Personally, I'm far from convinced about Eustace and if things don't change and improve quickly we might need to look for another manager.

I can't stand Dolan. I think he is a little upstart and a gobshite and his ability level matches his small physical stature. We need shut and fast. If any club is willing to pay a fee then snatch their hand off.

IMO, an uninspirational figure with zero charisma. Used to leave Academy games scratching my head about this guy. What he has to offer is beyond me. Agree. Unfortunately, I think we are going to come unstuck again today. Coventry game we were very poor, QPR game again very poor in 1st half and only the introduction of Cantwell versus 10 men in 2nd half saved the day and Preston again poor. Are we 'levelling out' ? Think we are. Would like to see a front 2 of Ohashi and Gueye with Cantwell behind in the number 10 role. Who I don't want to see start today - Pears (he's going to cost us again and again and again), Dolan (no football intelligence and a headless chicken) and Baker (totally underwhelmed by what I've seen of him so far). Sadly, 3-1 to Plymouth.

I wouldn't be so polite!

Pears is back!

Utter rubbish. Options - go to pub, turn tv off or keep watching and open a red to numb the pain!

Changes needed quickly otherwise game will be gone.

We are getting bullied. Madness not to start with Gueye. We badly need a big physical presence.

Pears treating ball like a bar of soap! Could cost us tonight.

I agree - my comments were really directed at Potter's response to being questioned about potential opportunities with United and other clubs

Listening to Potter on MNF, very clever and diplomatic. Would bet the house on there being ongoing dialogue between him and United. Think it's a toss up between Howe and Potter for the job. Mckenna needs another season or so in the PL whilst Tuchel, IMO, bottled it in the summer

Coyle - that comment is incredibly childish Chaddy. I've met the guy on a number of occasions and despite his disastrous spell at Rovers he is good company as is Nicko who you revere. Southgate - the players loved him because, I would suggest, he was a pushover. Charity Shield - come off it, a non event. By the way, I was there in both 1994 and 1995 (where were you in 1995!?!?). Mckenna is a woderful up and coming manager - may well be the next big thing. I would trust his judgement over yours! Finally, stuck £20 on Eddie Howe to be next United manager at 50/1!

You simply don't get it - the mention of Coyle is to underline the paucity of Hag's management! Southgate would not be a good option. Negative, boring football. United fans just do not want him. RVN won the Dutch 'Charity Shield' and FA Cup - you are not seriously classing the Charity Shield as a trophy! Hag won trophies in Dutch football as also did McLaren - enough said!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Delap has made the step up to the PL and his form this season, not just yesterday, has been very good indicating he will be a great success. I think you will find him in the full England squad before the season is out. You said he was shite during the summer transfer window and it seems your judgement is as bad as Mowbray's who seemingly rejected an offer from City to take Delap on loan in Mowbray's last January transfer window with Rovers!

When we were all debating what the fee for SS should be, @chaddyroversproclaimed 'Delap is shite and Ipswich are paying £20million for him'...................Looks some player to me and looks a snip at that price especially when Spurs paid £65million for Solanke! What are RVN's managerial / coaching credentials to take over a club like United - absolutely none, would be a disaster. Southgate - you are having a larf. Would be the most underwhelming and unpopular appointment United could make. Arguably, had the best crop of England players in the last 50 years or so and blew it! for me, would be either McKenna or Tuchel. So what? No identity and over £600million spunked up the wall. With Arsenal, Spurs you can see progression and even Liverpool and Chelsea with new managers have a clear progressive identity. United are just one big mess after over 2 seasons with their 'Dutch master'. Owen Coyle would do a better job and that's saying something.

As others have posted, only debate is around the offensive four. Given Coventry's poor start, we need a fast, positive start and for that reason, I would start Cantwell and when he tires he can be withdrawn with Rovers, hopefully, in the ascendancy and a goal or two to the good. Would also start Gueye for his physical presence and menace and look for the others to capitalise. My offensive four: Weimann, Cantwell, Dolan / Gueye. Gut feeling is it will be a draw to keep our unbeaten run going.

Even acknowledging we were up against 10 men in 2nd half, Cantwell was the catalyst for the transformation - he was a joy to watch with his vision, technique and passing ability. The lad is going to be a big player for us. Travis needs to be more selective in his aggression, carries on like this and he will soon be banned for 3 matches. Beginning to wonder about Gueye!? Some question marks against a number of players today, however, a win, a clean sheet and unbeaten after 7 and hopefully, onwards and upwards! Confidence and momentum everything in this league and can take you a long, long way.

Absolutely dire. Has to make changes. Inspiration and creativity needed Need ACD, Cantwell and Gueye on.

Our set pieces are so awful

Aye, that's the man.

Not me who's the Whiteman fan. It's another poster who's mates with the family

Baker and Dolan are shite and need hooking. Time for Gueye and Weimann
