Ok did Coventry not sell Gyokeres? Boro not sell Spence? Birmingham not sell Bellingham? etc... Even the clubs that come down lose the top players, but I guess they all have no aspirations of promotion eh

With all due respect I doubt you thought Szmodics would be raising much 12 months ago either. You may not like it but all Championship clubs sell the better players on the books year on year if the Premier Leage come calling, it's the lay of the land in the Championship.

We do the same with Szmodics, Carter, Dolan, JRC... the cycle will continue until we make the breakthrough and get promoted.

Thats a better strike rate than Messi in the MLS to be fair. Would rather decide with the eye not stats

Pleased for Wharton. He is a level above where we are currently and honestly the lad has been no trouble at all here, even going as far as dodging questions on his future here as to keep the focus on the here and now. Not many have left here in recent memory that I genuinely think can go on and have a successful move away from Ewood, with Palace I think he has all the requirements to make it a huge success and be moving on again in 2 or 3 years for the Champions League teams.

Just seen that Jed Steer has just left Peterborough, I'd take him here until end of season and let Wahlstedt go on loan in League 1

Doesn't add up how saving 100% of a contract to increase another by 25-35% still results in the same losses.

But he asked for a transfer in the summer as he wants to play in a specific role, so im taking 5 months from that point.

Could be that has has been pushed towards accepting the deal from higher up, but the only direct quote we have from anyone is that JDT has said he asked to leave twice so that will hold more weight for me than what the press "understands" but are unwilling to state where the claims come from.

Agree with first point, but we have to wait and see what happens over next 3 weeks. As for Trav being Content to work his way in at Ipswich but not here you are missing potential context. Maybe he gave it 5 months here and still wasn't getting what he wanted so no point giving it 5 months more in his mind. At Ipswich he might be in the same position, but if he does break in there he might be able to secure a Premier League move to Ipswich in the Summer if it works out and they go up. Remember it's a Loan not a permanent move.

He has played 20 times in the Championship this season... how is that not using him?

Yes JDT is calling for more experience and as I pointed out he uses that experience when given to him, you claimed he doesn't use it which as I pointed out is not true. Travis can have 200 apps for us but fact is his is less experienced that Tronstad at the game of Football (the player he wants to replace) I never said Kaminski was dropped at all! I said he got injured and had to be replaced, his replacement was on form and you don't drop a player in form unless he gets injured. Again 100% I agree with player in form should never be dropped, form dips then you have a call to make

Of course not just like they would never have tested Stoke or Barnsely resolve over Brown & Andersen without them be dropped... Oh wait 😉

Utter guff, he has played Tronstad, Szmodics, Hyam all older experienced heads so that's just a plain wrong statement. Our most experienced player is Tronstad and you think JDT has the power to be able to sell players... Kaminski never got dropped he got injured and Pears was playing well so never got dropped, 100% the right thing to do. Only true statement in all that you have spouted is that Travis was our captain!

Exactly. When even Dean Smith is a dreamland shout, that should tell you pool we will be drowning in if they sack JDT or he leaves...

That's his remit, he was employed to play football in the identity the DoF wants us to play. The fact we don't have the backing from the shysters in India to be able to do it is not the DoF or Managers fault.

You wouldn't give a plasterer a saucer and 2 spoons and expect him to plaster your wall would you?

Is not the discussion, it's the constant "Is JDT looking for the Sack!" "What the F**k is that?" that is the point, it adds nothing and doesn't look to engage in the discussion. Every match thread is the same. But it's fine I shall ignre them and move on

Keep up

No, most logical fans discuss the merits of one player over another, the formation ect. However here we have a all be it minority (although very vocal) that love to go way over the top without adding anything to a discussion. Guess I will just use the ignore feature...

11 years, so no...

Im all for discussion, however posts like "Is JDT trying to get Sacked" is not a post looking to add to a discussion. Discuss the line up and ask questions about it. Decrying without context is not a post loooking to join a discussion, it's pointless hyperbole

How about we see how the game goes before decrying a bloody starting lineup.

Pears off is a wasted sub as not conceeding another means nothing if we cant change the balance of the game.

Of all the things that can turn a person against actively following Rovers these have to be the most rediculous excuses I could ever possibly hear 🙄 I have seen some guff posted on here over the years but my god this is lowest of the low 😆
