GB didn't need to say he was our 1st choice to replace TK but he did and we scouted him properly, maybe tell to accept it instead of looking for conspiracy theories that aren't there

If he really was first choice I dread to think what 2nd & 3rd were like. It seems as though Gregg's identification of a goalkeeper is about as good as his identification of a centre forward.

Wahlstedt is 24 years old, Swedish international and was playing regular first team football so isn't he ready?

 

Well with that CV why are we being told to give him time?

Tronstad took time to settle him here. Not Every player settles into the area straight away, it's take time. Just like it would if we were to move overseas.

Far too early to write Wahlstedt off. Far too many people are far too judgement in life.

And the impact on the morale and confidence of his team mates?

That's your opinion and mine is very different. I ain't changing my opinion any time soon

Or I can see the writing on the wall like I did with Mowbray about 3 years before you could finally see it.

Odd, couple if games back I was about to say Leo has shown improvement.then 2 goal costung "shiuld have.done betters" has him as a villain again.  No keeper is going to be good enough here for a lot on here, just gotta keep pounding the Kaminski sale up people's arses.  TK made plenty if gaffs Leo has also oulled iff some really good saves.  I think he may.work out fine.  Just watched a.top.Prem.keeper do the same thing.as.Leo, it happens, a lot.

Not enough games to lose count.

TK wanted out as soon as Luton made their first bid in July. TK then threw his toys out in Austria cos Rovers didn't accept.

Thank you for that - I’d not heard him talking about it.

Of course, GB is always going to ‘spin’ things in a way which favour the club.

Ultimately (and this is clearly the wrong thread for this) the issue wasn’t necessarily selling TK but not recruiting (on the evidence so far) a good enough replacement.

no reason to lie and been open and honest from day 1 of his appointment. People just looking for things that aren't there

Correction : People not just blindly believing every word uttered by someone at Blackburn Rovers, (particularly after thirteen years of bitter experience).

We don’t hear half of what goes on behind closed doors at football clubs. Managers, DoFs, CEOs are all spinning a narrative when speaking in public. So of course you don’t take it all at face value.

The naivety of yon mon, it would be almost endearing if he wasn’t so patronising with it.

I agree, but he really needs taking out of the firing line for his own good, and that of his team mates,

Until Chaddy mentioned him, I d forgotten about Hilton.

Clearly, JDT must not rate him, as otherwise he surely would’ve been given an opportunity by now.

He’s the same age as Wahlstedt,(24).

The defence will start the match at Hull in a very nervous frame of mind.

As per usual, it’s imperative we score first.

Even if GB was exaggerating, I assume that TK would have been desperate to play in the premier league....

[The Mighty Chaffinch]

At present, Pears goes straight back in when fit…personally I’d be looking at second and third choice Prem keepers on loan until the end of the season. With a fully fit back four (and for me that’s Hill at RB with Carter, Hyam  and Pickering) and Tronstad in front of them, we should be fairly solid with a decent stopper behind them. As for tomorrow…keep the score down and move onto Rotherham or a big Digital Day win against Cambridge. It’s all feeling very downward doom loop at the moment.

But that's what makes it so funny

Not quite, it was just abused by people that used it for trolling.
