Thought Nyambe had a worse day on the opposite side myself.

Armstrong will be the second best finisher at the club behind Dack. I'd like to see him get stuck in a little bit more than last season, he's Scottish after all so needs a little bit of grittiness. patrickvalery: It's easy to forget our terrible last season. We looked pretty damn solid, especially after Christmas. Mowbray will tweak the squad and we will stay up, I have no doubt about that. But if Dack emulates his form from last season he'll be a goner next summer, along with Mulgrew and Armstrong too if he continues to progress. It's going to be an almost impossible task to gain promotion from the Championship and I'm starting to wonder whether this season will be our best chance in a while...

Yes. But... We were relegated despite having a brilliant player like N'Zonzi in the team. Good on him for leaving the Keaning mess we were in then...

I think Samuel can fill in for Graham or any of the wide players. If he can pick up a thing or two from Graham, then he could develop into a decent player at this level too - needs to work on his decision making and finishing first and foremost for me. Plus, Armstrong can play as a lone striker if we want to catch teams on the break. Is Palmer quick?

And was raving about Fernando Di Santo!

Cheap in today's market perhaps? Cheap considering our budget? Not so sure. He's a high risk signing if we don't have much cash, and was only used as an impact sub last season in L1. After that he suffered back to back hamstring injuries, one of them required surgery and lengthy rehab. He's only recently started playing again, and who knows if and when he will break down again? I like him as a player, and I felt Mowbray didn't utilise him enough early doors, but at this moment in time he wouldn't be top of my shopping list.

I don't know the details of the budget, but I do know we need to make more signings before the transfer window shuts.

He initially signed a three-year deal with the option of a fourth. Perhaps there was a minimum release clause in there that has now changed? Or his agent has put some mild pressure on the club saying he was the league's star performer last season and will look for deals elsewhere if not offered improved terms - I don't know. Mowbray did say early on after clinching promotion that some players would be offered better terms - I think our wage structure was totally revamped after suffering relegation. I also hope the contracts the club offer the players now are heavily bonus incentivised.

Final Countdown is a classic. Never change.

I like the new shirt, but agree with the sentiments that the logo could have been better. Same colour blue as the umbro logo would be ideal.

I agree his injury problems last season is a worry, but he didn't suffer a recurrence of his prior hamstring injury but suffered a different (grade 2) one.

They have Mitrovic on their books as well. He was fantastic for Fulham and had a great world cup, so I think he'll be given the chance before Armstrong. Totally different players though, so you never know...

10? He has more than that, surely.

Stuart: Wasn't that our third kit? If I remember correctly it was our away kit from the season before, but with a different sponsor (Bet24?). A few years back when they did a vote I voted for orange, such a shame almost no one else did. This is my favourite of all time

If it's on lower wages than before, and a pay-as-you-play deal then I'm fine with it. He has a lot to prove after the last couple of seasons in my opinion.

He's the sort of player that has a niggling injury here and there, and really isn't the same player when he hasn't trained properly for a longer period of time. I'd offer him a 1+1 year deal, if he plays x amount of games then a renewal clause is triggered and he can choose to renew under the same terms. Was instrumental last season, and proved me wrong when I thought he looked over the hill in the first 3-6 games.

Gestede's wages would be a stumbling block, and he's suffered a few nasty injuries lately. I'd rather we spend the money elsewhere.

He'll tear this league apart, and I thought it was strange he didn't start ahead of Antonsson (another loanie) on Tuesday. That was my thought before the game, during and after I think Antonsson delivered the goods so can't say Mowbray picked the wrong team. With four at the back and Smallwood, Evans and Bennett in midfield, I don't see the big risk of throwing Chapman in there though.

Uh oh, potentially one camera and no commentary then...?

Anyone know how many cameras will be in use at Ewood?

Q: What type of production quality can subscribers expect from iFollow? A: Every iFollow service will have a minimum of a single camera. Each club can choose to enhance the streaming production with more cameras and audio commentary, if they choose. Uhhh, one camera. Hope Rovers enhance

A signed ball. My guess is it's a signed Mitre ball from the PL winning season.
