What a joy to watch from the goal onwards. Adam Wharton, if that was a new signing that cost us £10m and was 26 I'd be raving. He's 18! What a debut and what a player. I can't wait to see how far he can go. JDT is a real breath of fresh air. I've not felt this happy, proud and optimistic for Rovers for a while!

Really happy with the Hirst signing. Exactly the type of prospect we should be looking at. He can't be a BBD replacement however if Ben ends up being sold!

That's 2 and 1/2 poor performances in the last 3 league games. Worrying. We look blunt and unimaginative. Something needs to happen to get a reaction. Adam Wharton was a real silver lining though. Wonderful passing and wasn't afraid to get involved. He should be starting the next game based on that performance along with his league Cup efforts.

Thanks Chaddy. Interesting read, apparently nobody had talked to Vale about attacking play until JDT arrived. Thank goodness we now have some proper staff in place, I just hope we keep hold of them by providing the support needed within the transfer market.

Not what I take from that at all. Sounds like JDT would love to keep him if possible, as would I.

GB not JDT. Like everyone here, chuffed to get out first signing and feeling a lot more positive than I had been, looks like it just took a little time to get the plan underway and to knock over the first domino.

I hate the sponsor and for that reason am not ordering the home and away kits but that 3rd kit is brilliant imo.

Rcb could be his position within a back 5.

Only highlights but looks to have good instinct and composure. Almost Dack-esque.

These guys specifically https://eppglobal.com/

To the tune of Sven Sven Sven Goran Eriksen but just shout Jon Jon Jon Dahl Tomasson. Job done! For what it's worth, everything has been said but what a refreshing appointment both he and Broughton appear to be.

Mercer is on the money from what I have heard!

It's an attacking move and an opportunity for Buckley to showcase his prowess in the middle - it may be where he plays regularly for us soon with Dack due to return. Gallagher has had a decent enough season and offers support to the returning JRC, who could do with having a good game for me as I am yet to be convinced there's much to him. I'm positive we'll get the result we need here.

Same team lesss Nyambe for JRC makes the most sense based on what we've heard so far. Think we will win this 3 to nil.

Well, I actually don't mind it at all. I can also say that when I was a kid I would have like the sponsor but wouldn't have cared what it was for.

Lenihan's distribution has been unbelievable.

I feel he's done well today, breaking up play and making good interceptions. I do feel he has lost any of the attacking threat he had when he first broke into the team mind.

It's the taking of chances that influences matches... But I reckon we'll win this still. Very impressive first half that could have seen us several up going into half time. Usually I would doubt our chances now, but these lads are made of something else.

As others had said great performance so far by Pears who looks a lot more solid than he did last season, long may that continue. Perfect away performance so far.

Could be a back 5 with naymbe rcb and Buckley rwb? I hope not mind...

Without a cushty multi year contract in his pocket, we might just see the best of Tony with his back against the wall.

Missed the last match as I forgot we were playing, don't live in or near Blackburn but have loved the club for 18 years. I couldn't support another team, ever. But I'm done. Well done Venkys. Well done Tony. Well done Waggot. Well done Jerome. Well done Kean. Well done Coyle. You win.

What Buckley and Dolan have done to deserve to be dropped is beyond me. Must be so disheartening and must impact on development when they are unable to get a run of games. Such a shame.

Hey babe. Take a walk in the Wilder side. 🤞

Fair enough, you would need a big steel barrier in front of you to deal with the term "tosh".
