they were allocated 3000, not sure if sold out https://www.swfc.co.uk/news/2025/november/22/ticket-details--blackburn-v-wednesday/

Id fancy him over De Neve, & he would be a better fit at wing back (pace, energy, intensity & attack minded) than Ribeiro or Pickering Would be another feather in the cap of the Chorley loan pipeline too, he spent some time there last season

Discounting Duru (away on loan and San Diego have an option to buy), Lucas Houghton is the best right back currently in the U21s. Wouldn't say he is particularly close, but sometimes, needs must. I think in the absence of Alebiosu they are more likely to either play TGH there, or move Miller to wing back and bring in Litherland/Atcheson at centre back. Going forwards, Theo Pitt can play at either right or left back, and has looked a standout at U18 level (as well as featuring for our U21s & Wales U17s) this season despite being an U16, and should hopefully sign scholarship terms next summer. Arbitro is a particular fan I believe Discounting Tyjon who is more a 10 anyway., and may well not be here come summer, Higgins is probably the current big hope at striker, think he turns 17 either this month or next, so will be able to sign a pro deal then, but has struggled with injury/fitness this season. Joseph is a possible shout and he does have a massive physical presence. Boggan always looks a goal threat for the U21s, but has struggled for game time during two separate loan spells in the 7th tier now Mbonzale also looks good as striker, has featured for our U18s a few times this year, but is still at school, so that is not happening in the immediate future, and that's assuming he isn't poached before he is eligible to sign scholarship terms (not sure if that is either this upcoming summer or next, he was playing U12s football 3 or 4 years ago)

Powell is a better option than Batty at left wing back these days.

Being charitable, I think his point is one or both of - refs are crap - refs are biased against him/Rovers, or biased towards certain other teams (not my view, just a what he seems to be implying)

nope, left last month (after 9 months in his role, so nearly lasted twice as long as John Park in his last spell), no official announcement and no reason given, but stated on his LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/piotr-sadowski-4184a8a0/?originalSubdomain=uk Obviously it would be ridiculous to have the same scouting team in situ for two consecutive windows 😉

I would assume just League games

I'd add the Portsmouth away game in with those, 7 points minimally needed from the next 3 games

https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2025/december/03/ryan-secures-super-eagles-selection/ A final squad of 28 players will be selected in the coming days just the preliminary squad, not yet guaranteed he goes... but he most likely will as they are missing a couple of right backs with injury

He was announced in their 55 man provisional squad yesterday, have they formalised the final squad already?

Football League world have him going to us or Hull Hull it is then

Some good (ish) news, he will miss less games if called up

Cardiff spent up to £4M on Salech, they are not exchanging him for Gueye Salech, who arrives in Wales on his 23rd birthday, has joined from Swedish side Sirius for an undisclosed fee which is believed to be between £3m and £4m. Connelly seems to do ok for 6 months, then his form and attitude drop off a cliff, I would avoid. Edit - Just checked, this season (which is in league 1) is only the second time in his career that he has scored more than 3 senior goals in one season. That by comparison, makes Gallagher look prolific during his time here I like Bali Mumba, think he is a decent shout, 2 years left on his contract, wont be on much, vaguely achievable as long as we are not competing with anyone else

I cant speak Polish, so the youtube interview is useless to me, but former senior scout, Piotr Sadowski has apparently said that the data driven approach etc is Adam Owens domain Also, Marcel Regula may be a name to keep an eye out for. Sounds like we were having a look at him during the summer, and we do like to revisit old targets According to Sadowski, the Championship side’s plan was to sign the player and send him on loan elsewhere. He hasn’t explained why Blackburn Rovers weren’t able to get the deal for Regula over the line. “I can say that he was the apple of my eye. I really regret that this player didn’t end up there, but at the time, he would have been a so-called ‘project’,” Sadowski explained. “He wouldn’t have earned the necessary points to receive a work permit in England and the ability to play immediately. “Furthermore, Blackburn Rovers didn’t have the option of giving him a ‘wild card’ at the time; a slot that would allow him to play immediately. The idea was to acquire the player and loan him out. He would have developed in a stronger league than the Ekstraklasa and at some point, would have joined Blackburn.”

Szmodics fee the Raya sell on the second instalment of the Wharton fee There will also be bits from selling Gallagher, Wahlstedt, Ennis, & the Telalovic sell on
