It is! There is a smattering of quality in the first 11 but by and large it’s depth is bottom ten.
bollocks it is.

It a squad that need 3 more additions to be challenging for the top 6 and under JDT I'm sure we will make it. Plenty of quality already in the squad whether its Kaminski, Ayala, Brittain, Travis, Buckley, BBD, Hedges(someone you don't rate but thankfully JDT does), Szmodics all have quality in this squad. Morton played a lovely pass to BBD to create the second goal

Its a beautiful Monday Morning and we are top of the league after 3 league games and we won all 3.

You don't reading my posts cos I am always positive and will back this team to the hilt through the good, bad and ugly times! Also I will stick to my opinion till the end.

As I said chaps unfortunately it's a bottom ten bottom half squad.
I don’t think it will surprise anyone as we all were rather surprised when we won our first games. Now it starts to look like second part of last season with players clueless what to so I hope JDT will sort this out somehow. IMO we play wrong tactics and some players out of position like Buckley. We need to get the midfield to work.

Bring back Mowbray. Better the devil you know.

JDT is just a snake oil salesman.
JDT aint daft, ask Rangers when they played his Malmo team.

Players do look like they don't trust him though. For him to say mid week they didn't do what he said before the game speaks volumes.

That's rather worrying.

JDT is defending himself with exactly the same argument I spent all summer defending Mowbray. The squad isn't good enough for top 6, our transfer activity the last few years isn't good enough.

8th was a great effort from Mowbray last season, disguised by him dropping from a truly exceptional 2nd. We've lost 3 key players over the summer and haven't replaced them so I went for 13th on the "Rovers Final Position Predictions" thread.

Mid-table would be a decent showing IMO from JDT this season. Obviously it makes a mockery of canning Mowbray for 8th, but we can't keep blaming managers for a simple lack of club resources. Anyway like ODB says we're still 4th and every chance of bouncing back at home to Stoke.

yet we won 3 out of first five game and are currently 4th in the league.

Maybe speak to some players and asked them for their opinions on JDT and they say he is very intense person during training but very approachable and like to involve the players in them saying their thoughts and given opinions.

what this team need is a couple of signings this week

We've been brutal to watch. Honestly the last two games have been far worse than anything Mowbray served up.

We need players 5/6 coming in. Bar Ayala and Brits there isn't a championship level of quality in the whole of the backline.

The midfield is weak and powder puff. Buckley cannot play in a two man midfield. The game by passes him, we need someone ala Rothwell able to get his foot on the ball and work our way from deep and tight spaces.

Dack needs to come in for SS who I'm afraid to say looks totally shite.

What a load of bollocks that first comment is. Worst than anything Mowbray served up? really? 3-1 home defeat to Doncaster in league 1 season, PLymouth away 1 nil lost, Fulham both games lost 7 nil at home and 2 nil away, Preston away 3-2 lost after being 2 nil up after 15 minutes. Do you want me to continue? JDT has had 5 games in charge and I feel it annoying and unwarranted how crucial and how much lack of patience and time people are given how much Mowbray got. Maybe you want him back then? But I am pleased he gone!

Writing off another player after 4 games. Its so sad and sadly pathetic to see people post this judgement crap. No time to settle in or patience from some fans towards players. I've seen the same treatment towards Hedges from yourself. Maybe allow JDT and the players to grow together as team and stop judging after 5 league games. We are 4th currently, reading you posts you would think we were bottom of the league and had zero points. Maybe its time to drop this negative/pessimistic viewpoint and show some positive and understanding of our start to the season.

JDT's Blue and White Army!
