That team does whiff of Gestede. Be fine tonight though.

We havent played 352 in the last 2 games. We also dont have the privelidge of not playing loanees as they arent ours. Tyjon is leaving at the same time.

They should be doing it as fast as they can. That doesnt mean panicking and getting someone crap. They shouldnt speed up/slow down based on each passing result. Getting a new competent manager should be the pressing priority. I dont trust them but that is what they should be doing.

Cashin has been our best player in the last 2 games. And why is Tyjon suddenly starting, and Atcheson back in your team?

The speed of the process shouldnt be altered depending on tonights result. Especially considering that Sheffield Wednesday are an anomoly in this league, they are nowhere near the standard and lose to nil repeatedly so beating them is strongly expected. Time is not on our side, games are ticking by. We need to make the decision as quickly and as efficiently as is reasonably possible, without rushing. Assuming the sacking was coming they should have already known who they wanted but this is Rovers. We had this with Lowe. We won 2 initially so we dallied and then all of a sudden we got battered at Swansea and it seemingly caused a rush. You cant just base this decision game by game based on each result. The urgency shouldnt vary dependant onln each result. Of course everyone wishes Johnson the best but they would wish any manager of our club well in getting us good results. I have no idea if he will, purely speculative. If he does want to get involved, he holds more power than Johnson so I suspect he would get his way.

Do we think Gestede will at least be giving his opinion on who to pick?

I think Waggott also lined up Eustace on the same day that Tomasson went, to be fair.

Obviously the alternative shouldnt be Chris Coleman. And it doesnt need to be Chris Coleman. I am saying to appoint an actual credible manager.

If he gets to 6 games then something has gone horribly wrong in getting a new manager. There should be a focus on getting someone in ASAP, no time for wait and see. We cant go game by game reacting to each result in isolation and as soon as one or two goes wrong then rushing around. Ideally, someone by the weekend.

I never said on here. I presumed you meant in the ground. Why does it matter what random fans put on a messageboard? No manager will be universally approved of on here. As long as people are willing to change depending on results either way thats fine. I am not the only one who wouldnt be happy with Johnson. Like with anyone, I would still change if we then got good results.

They didnt. We had a really poor window. They didnt have a better one though. They lost Bannan, Amass and Cadamarteri. Redmond's contract expired. Horvath's contract expired. The others are just a case of scrambling together random journeymen and kids to make up the numbers somewhat.

When he was appointed, yes. When he lost game after game straight away and took us out of the play offs, maybe not although at no point did he get noticeable stick. Some people would be annoyed that the cheap option of Johnson as opposed to an actual manager. He wouldnt avoid detractors just because hes "one of our own." Any anger is not aimed at the manager anyway. Its not going to create a harmonious atmosphere keeping Johnson.

I know obviously the players have to take it seriously, avoid complacency etc. But speaking as a fan whose opinion has no impact. Tonight even with our form and with our inadequacies really should be a very comfortable home win. Its not a game we go into as slight favourite, its against a team thats nowhere near Championship standard, and that barely has any players left. They have played 29, lost 20 and won 1. Even from one side of January to the other, a month of 7 losses to nil for Wednesday, they are much weaker. They have lost Amass, Bannan and Cadamarteri. They signed a couple of questionable players last night that arent registered in time. I wonder if Johnson has full autocracy over team selection? Wouldnt be suprised if Gestede has a say.

Chris Coleman as mentioned as the favourite on the last page would be a laughable appointment. Wonder if he would bring his old assistant from his Fulham days. Steve Kean.

Nyambe is at Reading.
