Work/family commitments are the most influential things on whether I attend midweek games or not. I'm in London on Sunday until late Monday so won't be attending as I want to be see my wife and kids on Tuesday evening. Does that make me a bad supporter?

What constitutes a local promotion match?

It's not a case of decency, it's a league rule that tickets in corresponding areas of grounds cost the same to away fans as home fans. Any deal in the Blackburn End would have to be replicated in the Darwen End

That's the idea. There isn't enough of a saving to make it worthwhile in the half season tickets in my opinion, especially when some of the the games included in the half ST are likely to be moved for TV, etc. You could easily by one and end up losing money

I think they're dear, £22 quid a game for me which means I would have to go to every game to make it worthwhile. Opportunity missed, I think a 5 or 8 game flexiticket would work much better

I do wonder about Moore's abilities outside of being a 'club man', did really well at the end of season instilling a bit of pride, but they were ultimately dead and buried by that point. They were all over the show at the start of this season and looking at the side they have they should be walking this league really. Interesting (not very) aside, I remember seeing Moore play for West Brom reserves against Rovers at Morecambe many moons ago, he was an absolute beast of a man, it was like watching one of those American Fridge's run.

Why?

the main similarity is Blackpool have no money and only sign freebies - the players named above were freebies and duffers signed when we were at a real low point.

Jesus don't start the money conspiracy theories off. It's probably more likely to be a combination of availability, cost and perceived benefit.

I don't think anyone is slating him, but surely part of every players development is acknowledging when things aren't going well? There is a big difference in critique'ing his performance thus far and not supporting him. Whilst I don't think he has been up to the standard I had hoped I will certainly be supporting him every time he pulls on a blue and white shirt, that said if he under performs he will get the same criticism any other player gets regardless of his age, price tag, etc.

Rodwell is listed on transfermerkt as right footed, not that I am taking that as gospel. On Rodwell, I thought the delay in closing down for the Swansea goal showed his lack of proper positional awareness at centre half. He didn't know whether to charge out and engage the man with the ball or sit off and try to shepherd him into a less dangerous position, he ended up doing neither and letting the lad have an easy ride to goal. I do think Rodwell has the physical tools and technical capabilities to be a centre half, however he needs so much work putting in on positional awareness and when to stick or twist.

At a million quid or so you'd have thought fair enough, young english players cost. The figure we going to pay is the big issue to an extent, for that money you should be getting a ready made 15 goals a season player who contributes a great deal to the team. Brereton has contributed very little so far, even when Armstrong is having an off day in front of goal he still drags defenders all over and creates space for others. So far Brereton hasn't been close to worrying a goalkeeper or defender and that's the big worry. You look at the impact Reed made in his initial appearances, the impact Rothwell has made in several games and the time on the pitch argument becomes null and void to me, especially when both those players have largely played out of their favoured positions. Good players make things happen

I'm not sure he is, he took several free kicks last night with his right foot and I seem to remember him filling in at right back when he started at Everton

I thought 3-1 flattered them too, poor second half from Rovers but to me it seemed like a game too far after Saturday. We looked off the pace in certain areas and the gaps between the lines was enormous in the second half. On Saturday we looked a compact unit that attacked and defended as one yet last night we were dragged all over in the second half as players could go with their runners. A shame to come away with nothing as I thought our first half dominance was worth a point. Still, those results are going to happen throughout the season and we're still very much a work in progress. Bringing Fer on at half time changed things for them, he won everything and moved the ball really well.

I was one of the main voices of opposition and caution when we were looking to sign him and unfortunately I think he's proving to be a mistake. Yes, he's playing out of position but top footballers can still look the part in the wrong position. Brereton has looked ineffectual wherever he has played, prior to coming here he was billed as a front man who drifts wide and runs at people so playing out wide shouldn't be too much of an ask for him. He should be adopting very similar positions in attack and then putting an extra cover in when without the ball. The issue is when he has the ball at his feet he looks average, he's not shown himself to be particularly strong, I've not seen him threaten to beat a defender and his heading ability seems non existent. Put those together and I'm not sure playing him through the middle changes things. 20 or 30 minutes should be ample time to make your mark on games, Joe Rothwell did it with ease earlier in the year and Armstrong has done the same at various points during his time at Rovers, if Brereton is going to be the player he was billed as he should be able to come on and make a positive impact. Thus far he's been ineffectual at best. I really hope he gets a goal soon and shows us the reason we're shelling out a huge fee.

whats his username?

Yes

I think is just tempering peoples expectations after a solid start to the season.

You can't watch red button on laptops, the only way you can access sky coverage outside of the Red Button is on the Sky Sports App (not SkyGo)

intermittently

Criticism is fair but some of this is way over the top.

Well it appears the pitchforks are out his morning, with any luck we can keep this up and hound him out by January eh. Breaking news, footballer behaves like tit, in other news, water is in fact wet.

Ooh you won the we took most fans to an away game cup, when's the parade.

Red button coverage was dire yesterday, I got a headache watching the camera zoom around trying to find the ball. Sky Sports are going to have to rethink their pricing, the loss of La Liga is a big one for me. I think after this season I will be cancelling my subscription and relying on match-passes for Rovers midweek games. I'm more interested in watching La Liga than the hyperbole saturated SUPER SUNDAY BEST GAME EVER offering each week.

I enjoyed the first half and the second half was perhaps the perfect lesson for us. A real steep learning curve in the importance of taking our chances in this league, we simply won't be able to get away with lapses in concentration as we could last year. I think after the positive start there has been an element of getting carried away with talk of play-offs, etc, this should keep things in order and focus players minds on the task at hand. That said I think it's important to reflect on what has been a good start to our campaign. Regardless of the opposition we've put a good number of points on the board and one that coming into the season we'd have been more than happy with. If we keep up the current points ratio we would finish very comfortably mid table, which will do me nicely this season.
