Can any supporter just turn up on 6th February or is it by official invitation?

You're quite correct, strikers do need confidence: that's the coup de grace for finishers. Before that though any footballer needs to possess the basics. He did not play well against Bristol City, he may have been less bad because he once controlled a ball but that's it. I'd love Ben Brereton to come good but cannot see it. It piss's me off no end however to have to fend comments from the likes of yourself who clearly don't expect much for a £7million investment from a club that are now skint as a consequence. It stinks, sorry!

In his years at Blackburn Rovers, you can count the good halves of games for Evans on one hand. Ben Brereton has not been ripped to pieces by fans which is remarkable as he hasn't yet demonstrated he can either trap a bag of cement or walk with a ball at his feet. I'm not a knocker of players at all but merely stating an opinion based on what I have seen.

I can't be arsed doing the maths, research on average attendances, away followings, percentage supporters versus demographics etc. etc. because Blackburn Rovers will still be the most successful town club in the World. Mowbray has a habit of pulling something out of the bag when required and it's about time the 'plastic city upstarts' went home with a flea in their ear. I've nothing to base optimism on but fancy Rovers to win well tomorrow.

The Animals - The House of The Rising Sun

Spotted this and thought it appropriate. There's some great footage.

Jimmy Buffet - The Captain and The Kid

And what did he do for Brum last season that warranted spunking £5 million? Rhetorical question really, sorry!

The Doors - L.A. Woman

I see Jack Clarke and Nmecha have both signed for 'Boro. Clarke would have been a good signing for us. Has anyone heard any more on the rumours of Tosin going back to City?

Thin Lizzy - Whiskey in The Jar

Joss Stone - All The Kings Horses

Second half, we've not been half bad in an attacking sense to be fair.

He'd play him in fucking goal! (apologies for language)

Rothwell and Downing extremely weak. Walton in no mans land floundering to and fro.

It does but not often somebody also gets mugged of £7 million as a consequence.

Ike & Tina Turner - River Deep, Mountain High

We NEED to ship out a boatload of deadwood before we can contemplate signing anyone. Tony, are you listening: We can't afford to carry passengers!

Why? Is he not another that thinks he's worth £30k a week but has never actually achieved bugger all? There's a bucket load of them available and we've signed plenty historically Move on...

I was a timid young teenager in flares with mi Dad for one and a cocky late teen Rover in docks and half mast parallels for t'other. I can remember both vividly and will make a point of writing up the memoirs for both. Great times both but '77 tops all from the start to finish. WE are The Rovers!!!

Despite differences of opinion, we're all ultimately united by a common love. Wishing all fellow Roverites a happy and prosperous 2020. We Are The Rovers!!!

The issue surely is who is evaluating Mowbray's position? It won't be Waggott and unlikely to be a disinterested Venkys unless through an advisor. Like it or not, I suspect we're stuck with Tony for the foreseeable future. Yawn, win a few, yawn lose a few, yawn draw a couple, yawn yawn.

Tyrone, I couldn't agree more: We don't work off the ball. What happened to working in triangles, running the channels etc, particularly a ball between the centre half and a full back for a winger to run on to and cross from the bye-line? We're not hungry enough and happy to hide and pass the buck much of the time. The only time that differs is when we're on the back of several defeats and a few decent performances then come out of the bag, after which the feet go back on the desk. It's self preservation society, for no marks who know they can't achieve more and for those on a final meal ticket before hanging up their golden boots. It stinks.

With the experience of having signed Brereton and how that was turning out, to then go and sign Gallagher who we know is not up to much, begs questions surely. I can't help but go back to Shearers' first game at Palace: we knew we'd got a player!

I don't get the 'Gallagher tried very hard' attitude: so bloody what? It was £5 million and we and Birmingham fans knew he was a donkey, why sign him?
