Does his suspended contract with Rostov mean anything? -

Oh dear Chads. Lesson #12 in self-awareness. -

Dack has been absolutely superb today imo, as have all 4 of our defense. More of the same needed but with better players in midfield, on the wings, and up front -

Our best results have come with the resilience of a back 3. Correct, no holding midfield, but our only holding midfielders are either well out of form (Travis) or naive (Garrett). Imo, that means we should prioritise creativity for a more attacking game. I'd also argue that if you think Dack and Wharton aren't capable of putting tackles in, you've not been watching them. -

Personally see no problem with the lack of whispers. Prefer it by far when a player's name is mentioned and they sign the next day. -

No, we are not. We've won one in the last five. -
Bloody hell. Must be like the Queen's death for Brazilians. RIP to THE legend of the game.

I did like Berget in his spell at Cardiff in 14/15. Most commonly a forward, so might be in mind as the older, streetwise head missing since Graham's departure. Roughly 1 in 4 goal record. I seem to recall he filled in down the left a lot in his Cardiff spell for Conway in midfield (when he joined us) or Cunningham at LB, so could be a useful experienced utility man, too. Can't say I know much about the other fellow, but never played anywhere outside of Malmö. Moved to Benfica and immediately loaned to Palace (0 apps), brought back to Malmö in 2019. At Malmö, however, 15 goals from 178 apps, aged 26. Online, his strengths are described as 'tackling and dribbling', two things we're missing in the middle tbf. -

So you're saying we shouldn't try to sign better players than we have? -
Have a Great Christmas Everyone..!

Happy birthday, Brian the Messiah! -
I do agree, he came out with some fascinating stuff at times. I just don't like it when we get belittled as mods for doing a bloody awkward job for free.

He was banned several times for referring to Irish members and players as 'Taigs', and then kept using a metaphor involving rape. His permanent ban was implemented as he kept re-registering to circumvent his shorter ban. So yeah, 'not much'.

Swap A. Wharton for Morton and I think that's our best available side. -
I'm not sure the subscription, which is specifically to reduce ads, means any subscribers deserve a say in how the moderating team moderate the site. Sounds far too much like some posters being more equal than others, to me.

They feel like low risk 'you never knows' rather than any real thought going into them. Maybe data over scouting, which is understandable given they had about 7 weeks. I would now hope we use data to back up scouts opinions rather than data-only. -
Weird feelings of football thread
Mike E replied to SuperBrfc's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Not so much a 'feeling' but a what if or a why? When Sir Bobby Robson was sacked at Newcastle and moved upstairs into an ambassadorial role, why was Mourinho not invited to replace him? It always bothered me that their obvious close bond was never taken advantage of at the time. -

Been banging this drum for about a year now. If he could just sort out when to pass and when to shoot, he could be reasonably lethal. If he could get Dickov's nasty streak (I was thrilled to see him get in Hanley's face) he could be a proper striker of PL quality. -

I noticed something of a scuffle with Hernandez and Dolan in which Hernandez appeared to comment while tugging on Dolan's hair. Maybe something and nothing, or maybe I'm allowing my own sensitivities to cloud my thoughts (purely speculative), but given Dolan is a POC I did wonder if something racist had been said to him. I can't rightly think of any other reason someone would deliberately tug on a mixed race man's hair while the ref wasn't looking.
