total bollocks pal. first season got us relegated. I know about Coyle but we chucked away points we had in the bag which would have kept us up. second season just about got us out the third division (in spite of him, not because of him). last season was a disaster but he wasn't judged due to his free season pass. this season he gets us in the top 6 or he is out. 6 points out of 6 pissed away... not a great start. same manager, same players, same results ?

Even Bolton schoolboys had a clean sheet and 2 shots on target.

Tony said he doesn't need to answer questions about his selection of players. Hopefully he will walk tonight and we can get someone in who we don't have to ask questions about their selection of players.

Don't matter who we have as GK if they are coached by someone who has never played in goal. This is a fact.

I take it we have gone 4-4-2 I thought Tony's new system had nobody up the middle. Maybe that's a flaw seeing that the nets are up the middle ? Maybe if we move the nets out of position as well it could be a masterstroke.

I don't know if Pep would have tought Toshin how to hoof it to Graham This new way of playing has so far resulted in no shots on target in 120 mins Did they not practice this against quality opposition in pre-season ?

Erm… Tony.... MUST WIN GAME !

Ball heading practice

The 2 worst full backs in the championship keep their place.

Say "yes captain"

Apologies Matty. Amended but always found it inoffensive in its accuracy. I must stop reading the LT comments section

They just need to stand in the middle and head balls away from our goal towards a Johnson or Travis. Something Mulgrew and Lenihan have proven unable to do. Simple game.

Tony amazes everyone by opting for Smallwood. Genius.

Agree but first the kids need to be inspired by a hero out there in blue and white. Kids love a super hero. Mine was Simon Garner. Hell.. grown ups love a super hero too. And if the adults are singing then kids love to copy the grown ups. Its just how it works. Who will excite them and inspire them to sing ? Where is the next hero in blue and white ? One Simon Garner Shearer Shearer Tugay Tugay Mo Salah Mo Salah Sat in silence down Ewood with no super heros. No inspiration. No excitement. No noise. Its freezing Dad, can I have some chips and a coke with ice.

Now then Tony lad. Remember this is a MUST WIN GAME. The target this season is top 6. That involves consistently winning football matches on the grass, week in, week out. Last year's free pass has expired. You can't buy a new one from the ticket office, even if you are stupid enough to be prepared to pay the Waggott Tax. That's how this business works. Top 6 or you are out. MUST WIN.... over to you Tony.

For me, Johnson has to be captain.

Mowbray added: “I shouldn’t have to answer every question that comes along on my decisions on my players. “As I have said before if we get it wrong too often you lose your job in this business. Tony starting to get a bit annoyed? Pressure telling. Can't see him being here by Christmas unless he has us right up there. Still no confirmation of Mulgrew to Wigan ? Did it happen or not ?

First choice will be those who aren't terrified of heading the ball. Lenihan likes to hoof not head. Nyambe Toshin Williams back 3 ? Has Mulgrew even gone or not ?

Pep can only dream of having the tactical genius of Tony

Can we still sign players from abroad ? Only the English window closed ? Plus we can still free released players ?

Finally ! New LB to replace Bell. Williams to replace Mulgrew Toshin as backup for Williams / Lenihan We have to hope he is just giving Nyambe a couple of weeks out the team due to the Africa Cup, then Bennett will make way. For me it was LB that was number 1 priority.

5 window warning Defenders are coming

yep its on this list https://www.skysports.com/football/news/12691/11734636/football-transfers-summer-done-deals-2019-premier-league-efl-wsl-scottish-premiership-european Someone should tell the Rovers

I can't see that the Mulgrew story is confirmed anywhere.
