Just had a listen to the interim managers interview,
thought he talked a lot of sense, sounds like they had a plan, team was selected to play a certain way, which worked ok until
the changes were made, all enforced, said the 3 that came on didn't influence the game as he would have hoped
both Sunderland goals were preventable..

Agreed liked what he said, wanted more balance in the side, he could be okay. Time is not on our side we need to win a couple on the bounce and try and get some money for a decent striker, but not sure that will be possible. Torn between giving him a go or Robbie Fowler who would have great contacts and raise the clubs profile. Think I would go for Danny Murphy as my choice but certainly not Ollie or Cotterell.

Coughlan is well meaning and had a plan, not sure he has the minerals to get Rovers out of the current **** fest, 2nd bottom and four points from safety, IMO its too big a problem for Coughlan; Robbie Fowler would not care if we went down or stayed up. Need a temporary manager until the end of the season, l would prefer Ollie but would support Cotterill, we need experience and need it asap

Torn between him and Fowler? It’s only Been one game mate

Agreed he comes across well and agree about the subs, they couldn't have been out of choice as THQ looks good and Rodman played well, we all know Sercombe is good.
I have more faith in him than I did Shaun North for example after Buckle left. He had a plan and it nearly worked, the players however must surely be worried about their futures and with a change of manager, it can't make it so easy for Sunderland preparing for what they would have faced today. There is always a natural bounce I think when a manager leaves and players did look more on their toes. That's not to say they didn't play for DC as I think they did.
Our defence has improved this season so I think GC staying where he is would be good. I wonder who/if will replace MS?

It’s only Been one game mate One game but against probably the best team in the league in their back yard, and only listened to it but seemed miles better than the dross I have seen previously. Trouble is we need to sort this mess out quickly because there are so many games coming up, and can't let us get too far behind.

I do think we looked better, but tbh - that wasn’t hard. I do agree though, we need a manager ASAP for the busiest time of the year

Just said on another thread, I would take him in that role definitely! Not as a manager though.

We lose, but we lost better? Got to say it, I can only recall us getting trounced once all season which was last week, and coughlan made the same mistakes as DC, which was picking tony Craig, playing players out of position in THD and coming from a winning position to get beat.

Coughlan's real test will lie in the games against Fleetwood and Oxford if we don't find a replacement before then, Coughlan went for a refreshed team and we played well, if it was Rochdale away I'd be disappointed but the fact is we've gone to Sunderland and given them a really good game and could have had something in injury time gives me confidence that we can improve as a team in the next couple of weeks. You can't really say if THD was out of position if he's only played one game for us and played well at that?

THD played on the left, because he is left footed and was played for reason, listen to the interview.

Need a temporary manager until the end of the season, l would prefer Ollie but would support Cotterill, we need experience and need it asap What would the difference be in Robbie Fowler not caring and a temp who is leaving whatever mess is left at the end of the season? A deal until the end of next season is what needs to be on the table for whoever ends up signing it. I'm not adverse to anyone getting the job as long as it isn't a sh*thead. Someone further dividing the fan base is the last thing we need. The other thing that makes naming any choice impossible is we have no idea how the owners intend on backing the new manager.

If they intend to make a million pounds worth of cuts next season we must assume that players will still have to be moved on to enable us to sign anyone not easy in a January window

Regardless the wage bill will be cut if we get relegated which is looking odds on at present.

Still, the 3 players that came on had no where near the same urgency as the rest of the team on the pitch.
