Must be in the minority. Think we competed well and looked dangerous down our left Feels like a must win. Few winning or drawing around us and this would put real daylight between us and Norwich We will win this 1-0

Just put a tenner on us winning the Prem in 2 seasons

Spot on Bring back Duff

Announce Duff

You have a good point with the lack of experience It can happen in any workplace - the culture breeds working practices. Suhail has been at the centre of what can only be coined as shitshow management. He has never known any different in football An often used phrase in the game is - "that's just football for you". You can see how that could be used to almost wash their hands with the consequences of bad planning and general bad management

All of this talk about lists and interviews - it's probably bollocks I'm sitting in the 'Keep Calm & Carry On" camp here. 2 wins from 2. A winnable game on Saturday. For me, one game at a time, regardless of the manager / head coach. It is all that is important right now The absolute worst case here is we rush into making a manager because we feel we have to, only to derail a play off push by that appointment coming in and instilling a philosophy that is not suited to the players

Karanka and Ismael are good managers. I would take either Preference would be Karanka

It’s not about missing him, it is about disagreeing with what you say I don’t think it’s much of a concession to say it could be possible that the state of our club and owner relationship played a part in JEs thought process

It is a bit of an odd one to be interviewing assistants when you don't have a head... It would be very Rovers though. Bring in an assistant to do a senior's role. Cost cutting at its finest! "We don't need a head coach, we will just have two assistants instead"

I don’t see why it won’t be Duff out of that list Something has simple as him having worked here before could be what picks it It just doesn’t seem the right job for anybody else on that list. Karanka maybe

Real shame that Tyrone We shouldn’t be losing out on players like Beck but unfortunately that’s where we find ourselves in the football pyramid right now Lets hope for that play off success and we can beat them to him

Thought we were excellent all over the park today Forshaw showing his class. Looked comfortable next to Travis, who seems to have an ability to make other players better. We dominated that midfield and didn’t let them settle at all. Forshaw showed more of a pressing nature, and it was rare for Plymouth to be able to turn in the middle without pressure Ribeiro putting in a serious performance. Crazy how left back has become our strongest position… I don’t think ACD is the answer and in future I’d rather we went with Kargbo. He’s our player for one so let’s develop him. ACD has flashes of the good stuff, but in general too slow on the ball and not direct enough for us I want to see more of Dennis - is he not fit? It’s nice to know we have him on the bench but today seemed ideal for him to get 20 minutes in David Lowe has been a real gentleman about this. He gets a lot of stick on here - I don’t know why - but a long standing servant of the club stepping up to the plate and making us that little bit more attractive. Can’t thank him enough. Comes across well in his interviews also. I can see why they want him to stay around. He’s brought a calming influence to proceedings and any incoming manager knows he has a man with a lot of experience to lean on Gueye is a real good spear head. His presence alone is enough to create room for others. Can’t believe we spent £5m and 3(4?) years of Gallagher when this bloke was plying his trade in the Belgian second tier or wherever Our recruitment team is once again getting it right. All of the additions are showing their worth and considering this team is still missing 7/8 top players, we look capable all over the pitch and with depth to suit. A far cry from the position we found ourselves in early January We lose Beck in the summer - providing we don’t go up!! - so would like to see us move for Ribeiro as a return to Pickering after seeing real full backs in operation would be a step backwards

Brilliant finish

Parker sets his teams up to walk the ball in. Slow and methodical. Doesn’t work in the Premier league You can’t argue with their defence though. 9 goals conceded is it? And one of them was Weimann’s rocket

My money has just gone on Duff

Cozier Duberry is too lightweight at the moment. He turns into trouble too much for me but this is a game we should see plenty of the ball, and he has ability so let’s hope he shows it today

I would take a chance on Duff Apparently he is a great motivator. There’s a good article on him below https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5879617/2024/10/29/duff-shelbourne-manager-ireland-title/?redirected=1

I would take Gerrard on an end of season basis, for sure He has been in dressing rooms and he will be relateable to the players. I don't think Gerrard necessarily has a philosophy to try and implement. He'll come in and be a bit of 'blood & thunder' - the type of thing we need really going into the final run in We could do a lot worse. Suggestions of Wellen have showed that

This is quite a good point actually The players are coached. This team will know exactly how they need to play together - where they take up position, where they press and break etc The next manager needs to be somebody who doesn’t come in and instil a new “philosophy”. We are at a time that we need to run the course as hard as we can. That means keeping it the same but being better A motivator instead of an innovator is what is needed. Ex-professionals know that though But one thing to say - Gerrard isn’t known for bringing home league success

You have gone from questioning what Eustace’s reasons are for leaving, spiralled into a rant about his loyalty to the ‘family’ and then eulogised about his downfall You started so well I don’t believe he went for the ‘project’ of Derby. I think the main driver was the poor ownership of this club. The truth may lie somewhere in between - he was clearly unhappy and throwing his name around for new work - but it also just happens that Derby are close to home and have showed him they will match his ambition He made it clear he didn’t work closely with the owners The performance last night is because of Eustace, not because of his absence. The coaching of our players comes from him. The work ethic and desire from his coaching Say what you want about the timing of his decision. His time as a manager here was a success and we are worse club for him leaving… …until we get a new manager. There’s another Eustace out there. He isn’t unique. We now just have to hope they make another right decision and get another Eustace, as oppose to another Coyle. That really is the fine lines we are on here

Eustace lied in the statement. It was 100% Wednesday that the first approach from Derby County was made. And that's only what you hear But listen, these things happen in every industry, let alone football. If you aren't happy in your job then you start to "put the feelers out" and move on. The idea that this makes Eustace a judas or a bad person is just wrong It is a little underhand, and actually out of sorts for him, but nevertheless he's made his decision and has been man enough to do it Time will tell if it is right for him. Derby aren't in the best position either on or off the pitch I personally hope for JE it is the right move. Wish him every luck at Derby. I look forward to playing them in a few weeks and hope we beat them. After that day, they are no threat to us, they probably won't be in the same league as us next year, and so it is a case of thanks for the hard-work and goodbye John The bigger problem is why we have lost two good managers in as many years, both of which cite problems with the board. They are the real enemy, not John, or Jon, but Suhail and Balaji

On the subject of "£10m players" - Beck is one of them for me He has all the attributes to be a top wing back for a long time to come. If he had more composure in the wide areas he would be in the Premier League already - he tends to flash it across the box a lot without looking up

Vermin, the dregs of society, fraudsters and conmen, dishonest, immoral, corrupt, deceitful, unprincipled, unscrupulous, depraved, vile, shady, dodgy and crooked miscreants Just a few we could use Parasite is ok though

You have name dropped a few people since Gueye showed you he has the ability to kick a ball roversfan. That's at least 3. Do you want to drag the crew down with you? 😄 I do agree with football being subjective. Crack on and say what you want. But then be prepared to be told you got it wrong. There's also a massive difference between commenting on somebodies form and calling them awful footballers - which was what was being said about Gueye Gueye has all of the traits to be a dominant centre forward and he showed it yesterday. He will go on from strength to strength in this team

Joey, I think that about Hedges a lot. He can carry the ball really well. He's also an outlet when playing out from the back, as he takes the ball out wide and can either go inside or outside. I have always rated Hedges as I would appreciate having him on my team I don't think it is any coincidence that in the seasons he has been here we've by and large been a well-performing and competitive team I will be honest and say I still don't think Dolan is good enough. He has some games where he is unplayable, and at times his turn and movement through players a joy to watch, but I think his press is so easy to beat and his touch too often poor, and so for me I think we need to move on to someone else and look to improve that area
