[bazza]

No. JDT and GB are desperately trying to ring India but the Vs are sleeping and not to be disturbed.

That’ll teach us to win the test match.

Birmancevic who we've beeninked with and a familiar face Martin Olsson on the scoresheet for Malmo, decent game 👍

Zero chance of him.

Hope JDT is the man for the job.   Seems like a nice chap.  Hopefully not too nice.

Transcript of JDT's words after the friendly.

"the club are working extremely hard to bring players in."

Are you confident they will be coming in soon?

"I don't think it will be Christmas." 🤣

As in we arnt getting everyone we want or by the time they actually put a bid in

Worth watching the interview with JDT.  Not a pessimistic tone that could be assumed from reading the transcript.

A very 'Brian Clough' attitude re: players Vs formations.

[Andy]

In fairness, this has been what TM has been saying for ages ('I don't really care about formations, it's how the players adapt and perform').

[roversfan99]

And neither obviously means it quite as literally as that, as if positions are never mentioned, and indeed as if either is stuck to one formation indefinitely. Just the usual typical managerial soundbites about philosophies, styles and adaptability.

I always got the impression that TM had the same approach to formations as I have to the various settings on the washing machine. I have no idea what they are or what they do, I just bung stuff in and hope for the best. 

[Mattyblue]

Certainly was his approach to subs, just chuck the lot in; trainers, bedsheets, sofa cushions.

My initial reaction to Tomasson asking the players to do presentations to him was one of wondering how well that would go down. After reading Dolan's comments in the Lancashire Telegraph, I'll eat some humble pie. Sounds as though the players want to be listened to more, and Tomasson is offering that to them. Pleased to read that they're all buying into it. With Vale wanting to break into the first team this season, and Dolan wanting to play a bigger part in the goals department, it's pleasing to hear them being competitive. Think a few have points to prove, and want to.

It is a fantastic way to get the team thinking about the game just solely beyond their own personal performance. 

It's also great because it makes the players feel as though their opinions are taken seriously and are valid.

Rather than having some gurning dick head tell them to play out of position every single week they've now got the head coach asking them for their opinion.

Personally I think it’s more about getting the players to think harder and be more demanding of each other than a desire to take on board their opinions. And it sounds like it’s doing both.

It’s also great to figure out what moronic things they regurgitate from the previous chap.

Don't mean to keep banging on about it, but another post-match comment from Tomasson...

Just a breath of fresh air with a can-do attitude. 😍 Really hope he is going to get what he wants in the transfer market.

Or he really should be saying, "8th last year, we are aiming for 6th or above...".....Gregg got this....Players are coming!!!

[Nuttall is lost]

Just hope the club dont go shopping at Wish

[Darwen Rover 007]

Interview sounded very much like he's passing the batton very clearly to the club... I really really really hope they don't do a venkys on him! Grrr

Dont f**k this up (again) Venkys!

Who promised him the earth.. Gregory?

If he had done his due dillingence he would have seen players out of contract and probably Diaz going....Dack questionable fitness...He knew what he was getting into, he wants a springboard into the Premier league....inexperienced,  hope he's a lucky manager.🤞
