    Just thinking about RLB. Hopefully a bit of recent fan catastrophising doesn't get out of hand, but he's on course to be only the 4th manager since Keano to manage to take us through an entire season. Just hope we're able to say the same this time next year too!

    To get us into the PO’s, despite all the injuries, is quite an achievement in his first season. He's shown he can adapt and is still learning, something he's openly admitted himself. The team spirit looks great and players like Watson, Mundle, etc, have been started and done well.

    If that’s not good enough, for some people, that’s just tough luck …

    … we're competing against good teams, in a tough division.

    as disappointing as not achieving automatics would be, if we take our emotional fan hats off we have arguably over achieved if anything and getting into the playoffs is all about what happens on the day.

    Mowbray could arguably have won the tour on game if we some key players weren’t injured, this team we can only hope we can go into it with or key players fit and firing and there’s every chance

    Just to add to that, I would've been happier if Dodds was still there considering how the players reacted to him leaving. However, the club couldn't stand in his way

    fail to go up and they’ll be calling for him to go. Sadly this is the culture of the modern football fan.

    Will Still?

    I know he lost Khusanov, Samba and Danso in January but they’re on a horrible run of form and surely the expectation at Lens is some form of European qualification?

    Yeah I think he could be in trouble if the form continues, shocking defeat yesterday against Le Havre. Hasn't been helped with transfer business as you mention though.

    Rosenior doing a cracking job at Strasbourg with such a young squad. Only had 3 players 25 or over in their squad last week, the 2 GKs (25 and 35) and the backup left back (29). I think PL clubs will be looking at him.

    If I were Rosenior, I'd stay away from a Premier league job for a while longer yet, as it's so cut throat and reactive. If I were him, I'd move to a better ligue 1 club, a Lyon, Monaco, Marseille etc, and then move to the premier league with the opportunity to manage higher up the league than he'd currently be given a chance at.

    Similar to what happened to Règis isn’t it? Harsh on the manager when the core of the team gets decimated mid season

    But he’s ****e. Or at least that was the consensus of a few on here. If he wasn’t good enough to manage us then he certainly isn’t good enough to manage a team higher in the league.

    His football is terrible but he’s only ever spoken positively about us to be fair to him, listen to a podcast with him a while back, under the cosh with our old striker Chris brown hosting, seems a good bloke, mind I’m glad he didn’t come here when he was rumoured to be

    He's lost his last half a dozen games, Shrewsbury are bottom and look certain to go down ...

    ... he was a disaster at QPR and keeps getting jobs.

    I think I'll grow my hair, never wash it and buy a bloody big necklace <laugh>

    Him coming here would’ve been a disaster.
