I was going to watch, can't see it either...

Rest Ohashi, start Gueye with Tyjon playing off him.. Raise the lads profile so when we inevitably lose him, we can get a bit more for him.. Nothing agaisnt any of them, but I don't see value in Sanderson, Cozier-Duberry, Woodrow, Foreshaw being in the squad. Might as well throw some young lads on the bench that'll be here beyond the end of the season..

Ismael, IN, loved his awkward clap and wave.. Perhaps that's just his persona.. Well done, lads. Shame it's too little, too late. But a lot to be positive about with that performance.

Thought, Toth's looked good. Some tidy saves and good distribution. Hopefully keeps it up. Feel like we lack that penetration out wide. Hedges, as much as I like him just lacks that extra bit of quality- he's like a solid 6 but you need that extra quality to frequently produce the goods... Ohashi, as a lone striker, for me, doesn't possess the necessary attributes.. I think a few people have said it, but surely him playing off Gueye makes most sense.. Summer think we're going to need two new wingers to go alongside, Kargbo and Hedges.. A ball carrying centre midfielder in the mould of Rothwell (Good luck finding one of those- don't even see anyone in the Prem with those attributes) and another striker- a very good one to compliment the other two.. Realistically, it's going to be two or three loans and some obcsure freebies on super low wages.. If they want to fill Ewood, spend the money (which won't happen), play some exciting football and make people want to attend.. Fifteen years tells me not to bother. Mad to think we were a very well run, established Premier League club 15 years ago... No sign next season is going to be any different..

Could still go down.. I've not even bothered with ifollow.. My neighbour who has a season ticket was just bringing her washing in.. Her and her fella left after 25 minutes.. A die-hard fan. Ismael and his assistant want sacking- absolute dog-shit.. Venkys can go with them too!

What's up with Carter?

Objectively, why should we win this one? Squad's wank and chronically underinvested in- especially so when you consider the players sold in recent years.. Venkys out! Venkys out! Venkys out!

Off topic, I live outside Ewood. Stadium's been getting jet washed past few days..

Thought Buckley looked good yesterday.. cantwell too.. both should be pushing to start now imo..

Cracks me up, rebuild, projects, building slowly, building properly.. What a load of bollocks. You buy good players, better than what other teams have and then get in a semi-decent manager.. I hate these daft terms knocked around.. If you're scrapping around in the bargain bucket spending pennies it's highly probably you're going to pull out crap.. Can't even sort out the contracts of existing players. What an absolute mess!

Absolute wank, boring. Playing Foden out wide... Why? Albania still in this against a team That is (allegedly) shite...

At a time when when half our bloody squads contracts are running out as well.. Crazy!

How long was his contract ?

How's JRC played? Glad I didn't pay a tenner to watch this shite on ifollow!

You're joking!?

I've pulled these figures from around the internet so no idea how accurate they are, but gives a ball park kind of idea as to what we may be investing in the playing squad with regards to transfer fee's.. I've not put loans on, I'm sure there's been fee's involved there but god knows what. Just interested in permanent transfers.. We've sold: Wharton, Szmodics, Phillips, Raya, Gallagher in recent years.. I think we're really bloody lucky to be where we are given what's been reinvested.. Pears (Undisclosed, but must have neglible) Brittain (1m) Hyam (1.5m) Carter (0) Batth (0) Wharton (0) Pickering (650k) Travis (0) Trondstadt (0) JRC (0) Buckley (0) Dolan (0) Hedges (0) Kargbo (700k) Gueye (1.8m) Weimann (0) Ohashi (900k)

I don't think the recruitment has been that bad- relative to our budget.. Gueye looks a real player now..

Steele is the worst keeper I've ever seen in a Rovers shirt. Abysmal. Still is in my opinion. Hardly covered himself in glory at Sunderland either...

Been telling my lad about a goal Emerton scored- dribbled from his own half for Feyernoord, sure it was in Europe against a good side.. However, I can't find evidence of this anywhere, I'm absolutely certain this happened. Can someone find the video for me or at least confirm I've not slipped into an alternate reality (Mandela effect).

Rice was played in the wrong position for England.. Best utilised as a proper cm in my opinion..

Belting player and was very highly regarded for a long time. It's good to see him flourish, sickener it's not with us. We've brought some very good players through in recent years : Wharton, Raya, Phillips, Carter, S Wharton but for injures would have had a much better career.. Travis, Lenihan.. With shrewd leadership we could and probably should be EPL yo-yo at least with a core of home grown players.. Swings and roundabouts though. One day we'll be back. Good luck with the season. That Mateta is brilliant. Proper shows up United how you fish players from the epl..

Ismael has had a two games... Eustace was 'Useless' he hardly set the world on fire.. The same lads Eustace turned into world beaters narrowly missed out on the playoffs the season prior to his arrival...

What? Like JRC was shite and had a revival under JDT to become one of the best inverted full backs in the division? .. JDT got a tune out of these boys before he decided he'd had enough- Eustace took over a midtable club and survived by the skin of his teeth.. I will absolutely over the moon to see him get sacked in league one. No way that lot stop up. Dreadful side.

Get out, it's those 11 lads on the pitch! Granted the manager has a significant influence I'm not having that.. It's not Eustace putting his balls on the line.. There's time yet, lets see how things pan out.. Other than those two early goals Derby were dreadful.

Is it acceptable to crack open a nice cold cider for this one given the weather?
