Thanks for all your well wishes.  My heart is broken in two. I lived with her my whole life.  Losing my dad was shattering but losing my mum so soon Is 10 times that.  They say you only ever get one mother, that couldn't be truer. I hope time mends my heart slightly. I held her hand at her last breath.  An image that  will stay with me forever

Carbon copy of my life pal, My dad died of cancer and I stayed at home to look after my mum till I was well in my forties. When mum died my life ended for about a year. You will come to accept it in time, all the best for the future.

Some comments are saying we only need to turn up against Cardiff next Saturday, they are due a win against Rovers, we have beaten them the last 3 or 4 matches we have played against them at Ewood. I think we need to stay focused when we play them next week. I am predicting 4-0 to Rovers.

I lost my mum nearly 3 years ago, having barely seen her for a year prior due to covid. She had dementia so had no idea who we were by then. 

I missed her passing moment; we'd been allowed to be with her for 24 hours, I went to freshen up at dad's & answer a couple of urgent work emails re a trial the next day. I'd only been gone 10 mins when my brother called me & said she'd passed. I got straight back in the car in floods.

Be sure to treasure that moment you had as she breathed her last; I kick myself daily for missing it due to stupid work.  It'll never not be a painful memory I'm sure, but it can be a source of strength forever.

I missed my dad's passing as I had spent 18 hours with him then went home to have a shower.  Got the message he hadpassed.  I'm glad I was there for my mum. Sorry for your loss

I like to think when someone is about to pass they hold on for as long as possible till family is there. Sometimes they can't quite hold on long enough

Moran is injured.

Need to Get Brittain and JRC in the same team, wouldnt be against Callum at LB. because Pickering hasnt been great as of right now. But a natural left back will be chosen. 

We're a better team without travis in the squad, who is awful in the box to box role compared to Garrett, JRC and Wharton. Maybe Szmodics as the 8. Tronstad Holding and Wharton with Sonny as the double pivot, gives another Goalscoer a chance to play, Maybe, Ennis or Telalovic. Good thing we have depth across the front, and middle line, just would like a couple of defensive reinforcements, like at LB and Centre Half to replace Scott Wharton

 

Personally, i would go for a flat back 4 of Brittain Hill Hyam and Pickering, obviouly the full  backs inverted. a double pivot of JRC and Wharton, Szmodics as the number 8. Siggy Left, Moran right and Ennis/Telalovic leading the line

What's all this pivot and double pivot stuff?

Do you mean 2 central midfielders?
