Well this is quite telling..

 

 

Last question was about Adam and JDT states a couple of times "he is good on the ball" 

Perhaps he isn't showing enough off the ball and defending as much as JDT would like?

When he persists in picking someone who would rather lie on the floor pretending to be hurt than track back during an FA Cup quarter final, it’s not a reason that washes.

There’s no debate to be had after today. Picking Morton above Wharton is self sabotage.

I’d say “Young Adam looks a player!” and they’d say “He’s really good. But his attitude isn’t brilliant, last month he stormed off the pitch after getting caught in training.”

I’m an awfully lot older than you, and in my time I’ve come across players that actually lived in Blackburn. Kit Napier played darts in the Corporation on Revidge with my old man. I bought football boots from Mick Heston. They never spoke of what happened on the training ground or the other players attitudes. Given today’s social media I just don’t believe any player would make such comments.

Are we actually expected to believe that another player has said to a random fan in the street (or in the box or getting a hair cut) that one of his team mates plays video games until 2am, left training in a huff because of a tackle and personally threatened our DOF 😂😂😂 all whilst said player is a life long fan, is a teenager and has barely played for the first team.

This place. Never change.

Erm, J*B is no randomer in those parts, he’d be starring in/producing The Only Way is Whalley with Bezza et al.

Well at least I learnt that Norwich have a lot of PL experience although no mention of it being a totally failed experience. It would have been more accurate to say they have a good Championship squad who went up and failed miserably to cut the mustard on the PL.

Sounds like Mowbray 

[roversfan99]

His quotes throughout the season have been similar. Project/journey talk and bigging up our opposition and what we are up against. Managerial spiel.

JDT said as much last December. He's been pretty consistent with the message.

That should definitely be a thing.

Didn't you eat that shit up and ask for seconds when Mowbray was coming out with it?

 

And I don't doubt the legitimacy of JB's claims of running into the players etc. It's a pretty small community on the rich side of town.

No, I had a similar opinion. Not worth getting wound up over and micro analysing. May aswell be reading from a script, just typical cliches and trying to dampen expectations.

I didn't doubt that he has run into them. More that why would they discuss team mates to such a degree to people they don't know much if at all which highlights various examples of unprofessionalism?

Reminds me a bit of when Paul Mani was saying that Rothwell's dad was telling everyone on the train that Mowbray had a move lined up last summer and was trying to tap up all of our out of contract players with quadrupled wages or whatever it was.

In previous interviews JDT has said these are areas of his game Adam needs to improve

[roverblue]

The lad offered more in his first 5 minutes than Morton had done the entire game. The only player looking to play it forwards in a sea of side and backwards bottlers.

“I thought it was an equal game”. Hmmm

Question I would have asked….

”Jon, we seem to have an inability to get back into games if we go a goal down. Your style is clearly to play around at the back to invite teams on to us, thus creating space and chances. However, once we go a goal down, continuing to do that doesn’t work because the opposition have no incentive to come at us anymore. Why do you persist with the same tactics when we go a goal down when the stats are proof it has never worked?”

I think you probably mean Mick Heaton (RIP) who had a sports shop in Brownhill.

Question for Monday. Will Adam start?

Interesting interview. Im a bit surprised that neither the interviewers or JDT mentioned that the game before and after the substitutes was completely different. Jon said "we created as many chances as Norwich". But what he didnt say is 80% of those chances were between the 75th and 95th minute.

[Mattyblue]

Surprised by the banal questions of local journos?

All they are after are a few sentences from managers to fill an article/a few minutes of air time.

Forensic questioning, it ain’t.

Yeah. Morton and Travis both had shockers. Couldnt find good forward passes and lost the ball cheaply time after time. Really disappointing as Trav has been so good recently. Almost verged on the amateurish. Wharton literally didnt put a foot wrong in his 20 mins.

Id be really surprised if he does not start on Monday. Seems nailed on to me. Part of me wonders if Garrett could come in and give Travis a rest too. But that's probably unlikely.

I would be surprised if he starts Garrett and Wharton, but hope he starts Adam and let’s him showcase his talent.

I would like to see a central midfield three of Garrett, Adam Wharton and Travis.

Yep, we need more in midfield. That’s were the game is won and lost most of the time.
