I'd be happy with that. Whilst Pears has done nothing wrong, I just feel a bit safer with Kaminski between the sticks. 5 academy lads should know how important the game is (only started 2 away) I like the look of that midfield 3.

I'm sure Liverpool fans would love that - not having the money for Bellingham and then spending £50m on a player who has started 8 league games in his career.

Absolutely this. Ferguson has won 1 of his 15 games since taking over at Forest Green. Ainsworth has won 1 of his 10 games since taking over at QPR. Tomasson has won 25 from 51 since taking over at Rovers - the highest win percentage of any manager since Dalglish. He's far from the perfect manager and still learning his trade - but if we could actually have got our transfers right, we'd have comfortably made the play-offs this year.

What's most exciting here is the age of that squad - Ayala and Dack the only outfield players over 27 - and you'd expect them to both be gone at the end of the season. Most of those players should be even better next season if we can keep hold of JDT and he can continue to nurture them. It's the core of a decent squad thanks to the academy - just need to sort our transfer policy out.

No need for it. Hopefully they lose the rest of their games this season - that'd be korma.

I've still got mine - never worn with tags on as well. Can't imagine there are many of the 1,250 left in decent condition.

Leicester are more likely to be in the Premier League than Rovers (next season). Bookies have Leicester at a best priced 9/5 to get relegated. You can get 14/1 on Rovers getting promoted. So they reckon a 64% chance of Leicester staying up and a 7% chance of Rovers going up. Even if Leicester did get relegated, you'd think they'd be in a better position to get promoted next season than Rovers.

Nice to have our manager being linked with other jobs again. Every time a managerial vacancy came up when Hughes was here I would start to panic. Been awhile since we've had a manager that another club would even look at poaching - shows he's doing a decent job. Graham Potter now in as favourite though.

Not sure where else to put this, but just noticed Jason Steele appears to be Brighton's keeper at the moment. How on earth has that happened?

He followed that up by scoring once in his next 35 appearances for club and country.

This is just Premier League goals as well. Pretty sure he will have scored against us outside of the Premier League as well.

Not sure how you can say he got the second half spot on? They went from being completely dominant in the first half - to not having a single shot or corner in the second half.

Under the current stewardship it is. Like expecting Usain Bolt to still win the 100m with a broken leg.

But they are playing City away - the absolute toughest fixture you could get. Burnley have probably got less than a 10% chance of getting to the semi finals. I'd suggest Sheffield United have probably a 60/65% chance and Rovers a 35/40% chance.

Can't understand why Burnley would be a shorter price than Sheffield United or Rovers personally.

I was interested to see how Mowbray stacked up against JDT at this level. I removed the League One season and included league and cup games for the seasons at Championship level. Mowbray - P212 - Won 35.8% JDT - P42 - Won 52.4%

Best performance in a long, long time. 10 players from the academy in the 20 man squad 16 English players, 2 Welsh, 1 Scottish, 1 Irish (Like watching old school football again) Average age of under 23. Oldest player in the squad was 27. The work rate and pressing was absolutely phenomenal. Reading the Leicester forums and them admitted we could have scored 5 or more goals before they scored. I'd love to see what JDT could do with a bit of money to supplement our wonderful academy.

And?

I thought he was officially leaving on the 30th June? Official site still lists him as our manager.

Tom-as-son's Blue and White Army is how I'd do it. Elongate the surname. I'm not going to start this after Chaddy started with Carlos Carvalhal's Blue and White Army. That ended well.

They'd won the league 6 times in 30 years before Tomasson. Then he won it 2 years in a row (they'd finished 2nd and 3rd the seasons before he joined). He also won the league and cup double. As far as I can make out it was 1988 the last time they did that.

Well I wanted a gamble rather than a safe appointment - but one with some managerial experience (ie. not Ferguson). JDT certainly ticks those boxes. He comes across very well in interviews. I'd rather JDT than Rooney all day long. We could be rolling the dice and getting a one - but equally we could be getting a six. Better than sticking with a 'three' every year.

Could leave Rovers with an interesting decision 😂 Like which taxi firm we are sending him to the airport with.

Which makes me wonder....maybe the new manager is now known internally, and he's not happy with it?
