He needs backing in Jan. I'm still not convinced he trusts Gueye.

I don't mind Gueye at all. I think his attitude and work rate are questionable when the chips are down and things aren't going his way, but he is a nuisance when up for it and is a presence in both boxes. My issues are with his overall ability and goalscoring prowess. Imo, we can't hang our hat on him scoring the goals we'd need to sustain a promotion push.

I think we need a striker, wide player and centre half minimum. I'd also like another centre mid personally as the depths poor if Trav or Tronstad get injured. Possibly another right back too if he doesn't think Duru is ready. If we get 2 I'll be surprised.

My thoughts too. If Gueye was Gestede and Ohashi was John Park's doing, then January's even more of a concern than it already was.

I really hope he goes on to score, but Gueye's overall attitude is horrific.

Another one who will say what's needed to keep his job probably.

Who's the co commentator on the rovers feed? Also brain dead. Didn't think Gueye should've had even a yellow as it was a "coming together" and thought Pears made a "great save" for Campbell's first effort (where he parried it straight back at him for another chance to score).

Gueye is not the brightest spark is he.

I hope someone at Ewood is aware of this, players and management included, at least a donation from the club as an absolute minimum should be in the offing imo. Also a potential agenda topic for the next fan/club meeting?

Yeah Osmajic has done a Suarez there.

At least we have players on the bench for a change. Really enjoying Beck at left back.

Ohashi feeding off scraps so far

Good job it isn't a "digital day" game eh? What a god awful idea that was.

Burnley were as quiet as they were because they put everything down their right and Beck absolutely gobbled up anything that came his way. Someone said it earlier and it rings true, Warnock vibes.

That's a fantastic point all things considered, one I would've taken before a ball was kicked. A good way to end before the international break and should be a positive atmosphere around the training ground for the new players to bed into. But robbed of all 3. Abysmal officiating.

Becks out on his arse and needs some more cover.

Beck had that shove from the Dingle after the ball went out, they exchanged a few words and I think the penny dropped.

Yeah to be fair to those two, Owen and whoever else has been involved in the background. A good job in doing as much as they can with what they were given. It's clear they've had scraps to work with, little to no reinvestment of any sales and they've spent every single penny possible. They've plugged as many gaps as possible (although I think we can all agree we could've done with a couple more). All done, despite Venkys.

Work colleague follows them around. Says he can pick a pass or cross, but only once he's finished with his stepovers. Apparently loads of fans raved about him last season, his personal view is that he couldn't see it (thinks he's too greedy). Might be decent with better players around him.

I see Dolan as being unveiled as "like a new signing" and being used out wide rather than centrally.

"Talks going in the right direction" Again, lots of noise but no final outcome yet. The longer it drags on, the more worried I become. Which is odd as I wasn't bothered about Cantwell when the news first came out, but at the rumoured upfront cost it seems a good deal.

Happy birthday!

There's a lot of noise around Cantwell. I can't help but think people have been asked to put out these details in the hope something 'better' turns up for him. Recent history states players we've managed to bring through the door were kept quiet until pretty much done.

If it has to be a loan for financial reasons that apparently don't exist, then Travers is as good as it gets and would be a good signing in my opinion. It would be great if there's an option to buy at a fixed price next summer.

A goalkeeper has to be top priority at the moment. However if there was a genuine opportunity to get Poku, it should be taken. We need more, quicker options from out wide and he fits the bill, plus seems to have an end product. He's young and if this lot really are trying to stay afloat by developing potential and selling for a profit, he would seemingly fit the criteria.
