How much did you enjoy that? Hardly a stretch though was it - Luton, Charlton, Southend, Doncaster, Wimbledon etc Couldn't be more happy to be proven wrong though.

Get in Boys!! Delighted I couldn't have been more wrong.. So far ?

We'll lose or draw this, same every year under Mowbray with the newly promoted teams.

I agree but I also see their point. We're currently a sideways move, which in itself is depressing. Hopefully Tony gets the most out of the fairly decent squad he has assembled and we can go back and point out what a superb sideways move it was to the QPR fans in 8-12 months time - Corona depending.

Any ideas on who these players are?

Welcome Daniel and fair play Tony, two decent signings so far. Cunningham in and our first 11 should be pushing top 6.

Imagine having not only read in the press that our Tony is a self confessed shit negotiator, but having played under him before actually witnessed it first hand. It's a perfect storm.

Let's not pretend tubby has a single clue what's going on at the club these days, he's been fimtly out of the loop since that clown Coyle left.

Agreed. On paper it's a good effort against a team coming down from the Prem. I suspect they'll not even finish top half however.

The most annoying thing will be the fact there are absolutely positives to take from that performance but I stopped listening to Tony's positives some time ago.

Errr, a one legged Travis could've finished that

Evans for fuck sake fucking what is the point

Evans for Travis, that'll do it Tony

Big learning curve for the lad, sadly Mowbray will bench him for a month now to learn from Eliot

Seriously ?

Time for Dolan to become an immediate hero

What a save! Get a result from here and he's already won us more points than Walton

Fucking get in, football is back long live King Tony

Defenders are coming

Are you genuinely going to tell me that our shite defence that couldn't defend last year still can't defend!?

LOL

We've gone through the full cycle of emotions with this transfer window thread, as per usual. The whole justification of your views by how long you've supported Rovers is now coming out, an absolute classic. Bring on the Bournemouth game to give us something else to moan about I say.

I look forward to this mainly because it'll give us all something quantifiable to moan about. We all know the recruitment hasn't been good enough this summer and with Bell & Williams likely starters tomorrow the goals conceded column will give us confirmation of this come 5pm.

Not in the least bit surprised by this. Would go a long way to explain how transfers go down at Ewood since Venkys arrived. Its an absolute shambles, you can't run a football club like you do any other business and as you say it shouldn't go to that clown Suhail for anything other than sign off.

The owners are why we have Mowbray, he is a symptom of the disease. The desperation to blame Mowbray from some people on here, whilst completely ignoring the fact that Venkys are the reason we are operating with a League One standard management team, really doesn't make sense. "Yeah but they gave him £12m which he spent on two strikers who can't score" etc Yes, corrrect. Mowbray isn't a very good manager. Sadly that's the level we're at now operate at after a decade of Venkys ownership.
