I said the other day I wouldn’t start believing until we could claim points after falling behind. I also won’t start believing until we can start winning points at the death in matches either. It’s ALWAYS the opposition.

He did bag loads of assists at Boro too.

This is where I’d be going with any budget too. Short-term yes but who cares if it gets us to the promised land.

One for the stattos; when did we last win seven in a row?

Another great piece from Rich. "There feels a lack of an out-ball to often, doubts about how will they fare against teams coming to Ewood and sitting deep, and an ability to chase a game should they fall behind?" The part in bold stood out to me as I was thinking about it the other night - sooner or later we will fall behind. How will this new look Rovers team react? How motivating it would feel should we claw ourselves back into the match, and dare I say it, even win. I reckon that would have even the most pessimistic of fans (like me) dreaming after years of the "we may as well all head home" feeling once we go behind.

Not posted for some time due to being caught up in family stuff, but just to say hats off to Eustace - I've given him some stick but he is getting so much right at the club at the minute. IMO exemplified at the weekend when he made Tronstad captain; it would have been so easy to give it to Hyam but he's clearly spotted that Dom is performing exceptionally without the burden of captaincy. Little things like that, the team spirit and belief he's instilled (just look at the final whistle) tells me we have a good one. A couple of smart January signings (yes I know), is the least this guy deserves.

Love a good party...just not a promotion one.

A shambles calling it off that late for their travelling fans.

Funnily enough, I bet Rudy’s targets cost a fair bit less than what Park has been putting forward.

As I suspected. All hail King Rudy.

"Head of recruitment" downgraded to "Chief Scout", possibly...or is that a vacancy that's been ongoing for some time? https://www.linkedin.com/posts/rudygestede_job-vacancies-activity-7265365003459874817-hfOc?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop

Officially gone X2

As above, I don’t think we’ll find out until the Wharton/Szmodics instalments dry up. Summer perhaps? Unless Carter has a stormer of a second half to the season and goes for decent money then the never ending journey continues.

Good luck getting takers for 9/10s of this lot!

Running out of sellable assets would seem to be our only hope right now of being rid of them. What a hope to have!
