Our form says we are 10th in the league and Boro are 18th in the league.

Can teams not get better as the season progresses ??

The thing is, if we can only expect midtable then yes it’s a good point.

But if we aren’t trying to get into that top 6 then what is the point of the rest of the season.

We are almost bang on WDL form. It’s not enough.

Cmon Stuart a little credit due.  Top of the form table after the last 12 games ..we re making a fist of it . As pointed out yesterday WBA had no wins in 7 ..

Disagree. Think Walton gets a lot of praise when he has done well (Wigan sticks in my mind.) He also gets a lot of stick when he does badly. 

Perhaps there would be more patience if he were a long term project but as it's a season long loan we need him consistently good now. 

As for the game didn't follow so can't massive comment. That said it seems to sum up our season - initially looking like a very promising score but ends up merely a decent result. 

 

Agree regarding Walton ..at the end of the day he plays in a position where every save ..every error is crucial. Again ..theres no great keepers in this league ..upto the ten in front to make sure hes not put under constant pressure

Now if he d done a Raya like Raya did today ...point proven ..no great keepers.

Phew. Unispiring point a piece between 2 average sides. But Tony T gets what he wants and that's all that matters.

The top two form sides in last 12 games ..a very  decent point ..although with out stating the obvious... wins are essential!

Glad that Rankin Costello starts but not seeing that many goals in the team. Dont get how Gallagher can start again on the wing, we can have Samuel and Brereton (as well as Graham who actually is useful) on the bench and Chapman doesnt make the squad.

Same side bar Rothwell that scored 5 against Weds ??

Absolutely likewise. Forty years, and thousands spent, just not now under this regime. A very offensive post.

Why offensive post ? I said I get the feeling many on here don't ..? btw glad to hear it .

considering the amount of money iv`e spent on matches at ewood since i started paying for myself at age 16 i must have spent a fortune,thats not including other stuff like shirts and merchandise,you can`t question my loyalty

Good lad ..thought you d be the first to  reply ...

Just trawling through all the comments tonight. Like many as a Season ticket holder and fan  im brassed off we aint took new blood onboard. Loans ..anything!

But also got me thinking  reading tonight ..just how many on this forum actually put money back into the club ? Even our foreign contingent  buy the I follow ..but so many screwing the club for not spending ? I get the feeling many on here don't .

Things are really dire on here when we re talking about selling watermelons ..? Thank fook im int pub ..

Just now, bluebruce said:

Fair. Hard to tell, when it's something some on here would say in all seriousness!

Although ..with the resources hes had available id expect him to be 2nd ..no win in 7 either somethings gone awry or just shows how unpredictable this league is ..

Sure, we would just ignore being in second place in a league we've not been top 6 in for many a moon, and actually signing good players, and want him gone because of a run of bad form.

Sounds legit.

Tongue in cheek Bruce tongue in cheek … don't let Deadline Day get to ya !

I would imagine most would give a bit of leeway if we were in their position! 

2 cracking signings that should really help them 

...are you sure ..???

(I was being sarcastic ..sorry !)

I know they are operating on a different budget to us, but WBA signed Grosicki and Callum Robinson.

Just give them the league now. 

They haven't won in 7!!! If Bilic was manager here we d want him hung drawn n quartered and out of the door !!

Been told nothing, the staff within we’re told that Fax Machines would be confiscated today, having not heard anything this morning I’m taking that to be a serious forewarning 

Fixed .

5M in the coffers at any point without selling a player is massive

Do we have a sell-on clause for Josh King???

I really hope we do ..don't think I could handle 15 pages of why didn't we if he is sold today !

I thought the Adidas  " three stripes " were copyrighted ? How would that play out with the " DasslersCraft " logo ?

The adidas trefoil (the three leafs (sp) ) does have © and obviously the word Adidas.

No  not me selling them mate, Matt Jansen posted about them on his Insta which brought them to my attention and Yes I believe he is a Rovers fan. 

Yeah I am guessing there could be problems if addidas get wind of it! 

I don't personally think there would be any issues with Adidas regarding legalities . Its a pretty common thing amongst the Adi Family fraternity to customise trainers and openly advertise the fact plus post finished articles. If you buy a pair of Gazelles and re dye a different colour no problem ..your trainers. The customised ones are usually a one off  for individuals and not mass produced and sold as  . Ive seen the Frank Gallagher! customised trainer and I think they were possibly sold to raise money for charity .

Customers own that are customised. In a nut shell.

Possibly more problems from "Stars" who are sponsored by Nike and don't want their name emblazoned all over a pair of Adidas !

One thing that I would say is that the standard of goalkeeping right across the division is really poor.

Correct  ..one opinion I ve voiced before ..the standard of "keeping" in this Division ..in fact all Divisions is pretty poor especially British keepers.

Something a few years ago we were pretty solid on .
