Had the pleasure of speaking to mark last night, he's a great guy and I've spoken to him many occasions, he wasn't selected yesterday dispite being fit and is proper pissed off. So dickov.... Whys that?
-
As far as I am aware PD doesnt read the forum so doubt you will get a reply. You could always write to him tho and he may get back, wasn't it Rovin Reporter who did that recently?
For what's its worth my guess is he is shocking defensively, especially away from home. Runs into trouble and gives the ball away far to often, not quite as good as you think you are Mark.
-
As Wilts says, he gives the ball away far too often, I also think it's very unprofessional of him to go bleating in public, accept the managers decision, get your head down and work harder, don't go bleating to random fans about it
-
I agree with the sentiment of Wilts' post. Great when attacking, not the best when defending. To be fair, defending shouldn't be high on his list of priorities given the talent he has going forward. Yesterday was a game for grafters hence the team we played.
I just can't help but wonder if Dickov had played that team/style against Bolton or Birmingham whether we'd all be looking forward to another Championship season. Too little too late?

I said it in a post yesterday Rob, that formation in the last 7 games would have seen us over the line, trying to accommodate Sharp in the line up probably cost us our Championship status

To be fair he's our most creative player after wellens, Keegan and firman doesn't work and never will, maybe pd could have tried him in the centre but it's too late, we need pace and power in the midfield something we've been found out with

We need pace and power up front, it's creativity we need in midfield
-
True, be interesting who gets offered new deals
-
You watch him fly next season , can't wait
-
If there is one positive, if we keep Duffy, Forrester etc we're in for plenty of
Goals next season.
-
If we keep hold of Duffy, Copps, Cotterill and Forrester for next season, we certainly shouldn't be lacking players with the ability to create chances and make things happen.
The big question will be whether the manager can unlock that ability. I've not been convinced by his ability to do so this season, but maybe the drop down in division will make it easier for him to do so.

Robinson will be prolific in League 1 also

Said the same to my mate yesterday, i think Robinson could do some damage in league one.
-
Him and Chris Brown! Sounds good.
-
Them two had a good partnership early on in the season, away at Wigan they were excellent.
-
Duffy wasn't man enough for the rigours of the Championship. Yes, can be decent on the ball but far too weak in the tackle and disposessed too easily. Needs to strengthen and he could be a prime player next sea
-
Theo averages about 1 in 3 in League One. Not too bad tbf.
Reckon we could do with a goalscorer like Billy Kee in or someone. I'm not Rob Ghosh!
-
Not sure on Robinson. He misses absolute sitters at any level.
-
cody mcdonald worth a shout? 27 years old and will be someone with a small fee. 17 goals this year in a struggling gillingham side, something that with our creative players in league one he could be the 20 goal a season striker we require.

Billy Paynter, 13 goals and no transfer fee
-
I think Duffy should have been on the bench as part of our plan B. The one we didnt have unfortunately. Far from convinced by Robinson though.

Scott Hogan
Rhys Murphy
-
Goals won't be our problem next year. Our priority should be getting a goalkeeper whether that be re-signing Turnbull or signing a new one.

Decent shouts.

I seriously doubt we'd get Turnbull, he came to us, a championship club, on a one year contract to prove himself to premier league clubs again, he isn't going to drop down to league one.

Spot on Filo.

Dickov managed Oldham in L1, he did nothing there, why would things be different at Rovers?

I would hope theres a budget difference to start with. Also didn't he have a couple of coaches removed at Oldham due to financial constraints?
-
The playing budget at Oldham was nowhere near as bad as he made out. He under performed there with the players and money he had.
-
Nothing as queer as folk!!
1) rovers don't have a budget to bring in another manager including spending money on the recourses and process of sacking and hiring a new
2) after a relegation the profile isn't there to attract someone "successful" we're not a wolves where they had the profile for Kenny jacket
3) the board situation is still not clear after the mid season take over antics
At this time of relative instability I think the succession plan started by the statement is spot on! You don't panic in a panic situation you sit and counts your tins of beans Barton down the hatches and focus on how to get out of the situation
-
I would get rid of the coach and get someone with experience and the set up doesent sit right with me ! a second in command should be a coach not a shoulder to listen to and that coach we have doesent cut the mustard with me what respect does he demand he hasent played b4 at this level or anywhere close he just doesent seem right for the job in my honest opinion
-
What level did mourinho, wenger play at??
-
Our current manager played at a higher level than those two
