I'm not disputing what you've said, you clearly have contacts within the game but didn't MT say the only player he didn't present to was Forde ? I just find it hard to believe the club are signing players the manager doesn't necessarily want. If that's the case is it any wonder everything seems so chaotic No player is going to sign for a club without meeting his boss unless the player is at the elite end of the game and on the £80,000 plus a year category. We have gone the European (originally) route and now one which the likes of Liverpool use. The manager usually says I want this, this and this from a player………..example, I want a CDM with great interception stats who can run 14km a game. Now I look at us, I am told we have been set up from day one to be a side with two CDM’s and one going advanced for the press. But I can’t work out why we signed Garratt and Hutchinson? We have 3 CDM’s, Conteh, Ward, and Lindsay. The manager wanted Hunt all summer as part of his plans, we wanted him off the wage bill. I am told he was willing to try and get the best out of Jevani Brown but being the highest paid player at the club on £7k a week, we wanted him gone. Look at the picture and tell me you can’t see we have problems………26 year old from Kuwait running the club and reporting to his Father. 40% owner preferring to go in the away end and promote this midweek before the game and buy everyone beers. 35 year old DOF first time in job, never even worked at a club before outside of playing. Scout who helped pick the players for the previous manager. Manager who had a decade at his previous club with a lot of control and best mate Perryman as DOF. Now the manager who was recently sacked is working with the fore mentioned, you couldn’t make it up. Look at Posh, Darragh MacAnthony bought them in 2006, Barry Fry been in the game over 50 years. Ferguson managed at our level for many years and his Father to lean on. We have tried to be Posh in 5 minutes with people never ever proven in the job before. it's about time Wael woke up to the fact he's the main reason we're in this mess given he's sold up to the new owners, not try and make out he's some kind of fans hero. As far as wanting Hunt and JB off the wage bill, given the former's injury record and the latter's performances can anybody really disagree with him, would any of us not do the same if it was our own money being spent on their wages? The jury's out on GF but as other's said when he was appointed all successful DoF's have to start somewhere. |

Disappointing, too many shirt warmers tonight. I’d hoped a few of them would step up for first XI selection.
Anyway fork Wembley and it’s overpriced food & beverage outlets.

Get rid of the idiot who picked this team tonight. This is a total embarassment and is all down to Matt Taylor. Well it's nothing to do with him according to some, because he doesn't get to pick the team. |

What a post match interview, he said it all without actually saying it!
“We have to avoid all the preifereal and noise distractions”………and stopped the interviewer and said, let’s be careful now saying we have squad depth. These are not his players, he then said the ones on Saturday he can trust (Hunt), the likes of Hutchinson whose agent is going mad at Abdul can’t be trusted.
That wasn’t a manager who once owned the situation as his players or went to protect them.
Utter mess, another Tommy/Garner jumble sale of players put together. I wonder who will be the James Daly and Barrett next season playing a lower level.

When Cogs lost he said stuff like I love these boys, they try every day in training and we will stick together. That presser was the opposite, it’s not his team at all and he can only trust the seasoned pros.

Fast forward 10 years it'll be the same old same old Yep on repeat, it’s ironic DC knew a lot of his players and it got us back to back promotions. Barton knew a lot of his in that Div2 side, Coutts, Whelan, Finley, Saunders etc. Our manager knew the experienced keeper this summer, we agreed a deal for him, the club said NO! The ones he knows from last season, he trusts, he is desperate for Martin to come back, I can see why he plays Lindsay as he trusts him. How do you get Hutchinson in playing in this side?! |

Hutchinson, I'd play as a 10 further up the pitch. Mistakes would then be less likely to be punished.

Hate to say this about players because they are humans after all and he’s probably a nice guy just hasn’t cut it in a Rovers shirt yet. 14 or the 16 new signings have all probably been a 6/10 or below which is worrying |

That post match interview was as damning towards behind the scenes events as possible without actually mentioning things are awry. I'd be very surprised if he is still our manager come January. Very worrying. This season could go horribly wrong. |

Your not far wrong in your 6/10 comment. |

So after our latest defeat, albeit in the mickey mouse cup to Swindon reserves. A chance for some fringe players to impress massively backfired on our saviour MT.
Are we still grateful for having 'rich' foreign owners or are the seams pulling apart?
Have the stay away fans returned since the alleged wife beater left to be replaced by someone not deemed a fraud?
How is the mood in the camp since we are only a few points off the playoffs. Can we realistically mount a play off charge or are people just happy seeing us 1 win away from genuine hopefuls after 10 games?
Is that all cups dead now?
Glasses half empty or half full..
