Rovers on the red button tmrw night?

Adebayo from Luton???

I reckon Rovers unchanged from the XI who started on Saturday. Looking to utilise the bench and all 5 subs from 60 mins. Hopefully we’ll be a couple in front by then!🤞🏽 Reading 0 - 3 Rovers

Ayala and Trav OUTSTANDING!!! I love the togetherness of this team! JDT is a tactical genius and I 💯 believe he got the team to take the sting out of the game after their goal…the amount of stoppages were unreal and reminded me of watching those frustrating Italian teams of the past….👏🏼

VDB is a top championship defender, just get him in, we’ll worry about how many games he plays when he’s here.

I’m going for three wins on the trot tmrw! Same team as vs Swansea.

6 times, I’ve seen him play live 6 times but tbh I could’ve said he was better than Nyambe after the first 20 mins. I think I actually did in the match they played us at Ewood 🤷🏽‍♂️

Bore off mate, ask me if we miss Darragh? Whether we’d be better with Rothwell? I think we’ll struggle to afford to replace both of those guys…I just never thought that would be the same with Nyambe…it turns out I was right.

Crazy, I said he would be easiest to replace, once it was obvious he was going.

Attitude? What on earth are you talking about? It’s nothing personal. He’s just not great. Decent defensively, poor offensively. I said it when he was our player.

No mate, the issue most of you thought we were facing was that we wouldn’t be able to afford a better RB than Nyambe. Some suggesting we’d need to spend £3-5m. Which hasn’t been the case. Just short of a million quid on a lad from Barnsley says it all….the bar really wasn’t very high. Nyambe having to settle for Wigan on a one year contract and not even starting for them should really be the final nail in this argument. So, Sepp Van Der Berg incoming soon!? I read a some good stuff about him this morning. Haven’t seen him play.

I’ve seen Brittain play in about 6 live games and Nyambe in many many games and I’m prepared to say right now that Brittain is better. Not because he’s a world beater, the bar just wasn’t that high…

I love the academy, but I watch football with my eyes mate. I wanted Nyambe to stay because he was decent and one of our own. But at the point it was apparent he was going to leave I expressed openly that he would be the easiest to replace. At this stage there were quite a few in here talking up Nyambe as a PL standard full back and saying we would regret his loss. Nyambe is not shit. He’s just ‘decent’. Him turning down a 4yr contract from Rovers is probably the worst decision of his life. I’m gutted for him as a person, I believe he’s a great lad. He’s just not a great right back.

Impossible to know. However, as most of us did predict, he’s been replaced with little or no pain and the only time we do remember him is when we point out that he could never have done this or that whilst watching Brittain play.

🤣🤣

He didn’t pal. JDT & GB withdrew the contract offer when they realised they could save themselves 4yrs of his wages and get Brittain in for LESS money (In total). Nyambe and his agent have absolutely blown it. Where are those who were predicting he would be plating in the PL and that his loss would decimate us now?

Sparks!? That you? 👀🙈🤣🤣🤣

The ‘next’ special one! 🤩

Agreed - I actually think Adam Wharton was brilliant too tonight but he doesn’t look ready physically yet. Was happy for Dack, Dolan does what Dolan does, Morton looked every bit a first team player and Edun for Pickering!

An absolute Joy to watch. Morton and Adam Wharton and Phillips were brilliant, Dack and Dolan showed they can absolutely be trusted to make an impact and I thought Edun staked a claim to start at Lb. In fact the only player who will probably leave Ewood a bit gutted tonight is Vale…worked his socks off and made lots of good runs but didn’t really look like scoring. A positive night all round!

Might sign a new contract yet 👀🤞🏽

My feeling is JPvH on a perm plus 1 cb loaned. Then Bowler and we’re done. If we can get BBD to sign a new contract then great! If not then inevitably, he’ll be sold and I’d expect Birmancevic plus 1 (hopefully a number 9, to replace.

Get innnnnnnn

Dolan and Vale on!!… #Dackwatch 👀

For context…in the time Tugay was at Rovers there were many star players, Cole Yorke, Bellamy, Roque Santa Cruz - match winners! But the best footballer (in a purist sense) at the club was ALWAYS Tugay. That’s Buckley now at Rovers. His brain and technical ability is insane. That’s what the club have seen. It’s just taken time for his body to catch up. Sure, we may sign Szmodics who gets 10 goals before Christmas, or a Josh Bowler who gets us off our seat, or a JPvH who we marvel at his defensive abilities, or Travis bulldozing himself through midfield (PL eyes on him too btw) but the Rolls Royce in there is John Buckley. I (and it looks like most others) see that now. That was my point around him being the best footballer at the club no matter who we sign. Edit - I saw a post in here a few pages back saying we will be the envy of many Championship clubs this season with Travis and Buckley in CM and I 💯 agree. Savour them and be proud that we created them I say…imo both will be playing in the PL within the next season or two. I just hope it’s with us!
