I've no doubt about it, Cantwell will have a low release clause. There's no way he'd have signed here without one.

A shake up of the starting 11 is needed. Hedges and Dolan seem to be getting a free pass into the line up each game. Their performances have been appalling. Dolan, I have said for years... just doesn't have it. But this what you get when you sign 9 players and pretend you've invested money when the reality is you're barely spending a penny but are selling players for tens of millions. Most fans appear to have been fooled once again. Cantwell will exit this team fast. We received £4 million from the Raya deal (not even our player sale) and didn't even spend that as a bonus in summer. Like it never happened. Was it wired our bank of India account along with the Szmodics money? A man who carried us game after game sold for £8 million and not a penny reinvested.... unless the original end of season transfer budget was ZERO? Just 6 months before that we sold Adam Wharton for £21 million. The owner's are taking the p!ss out of the fanbase year after year after year and getting away with it. We got £2 million for Ennis and Gallagher for gods sake!! Which is nearly all we've spent.

He has a decent first touch and draws defenders in with his size - which is fine for a target man. It's our wingers that are the problem, they are slow and can't cross - which isn't fine for a winger! When I see people creating chances for him and missing those chances... I'll agree.

I like him. He's a problem for Championship defenders, more so than Gallagher imo.

Toth must be shit in training.

Sigurdsson should be getting more minutes. He's an intelligent player, good technique and can finish, albeit he is slow. I think he has the ability to kill a game off if the chance arises but he likely won't get that chance in 8 minutes of football.

Agree, I can't understand why the minutes aren't being shared more. Dolan does not need to be on there for nearly 90 minutes each game, there aren't really any stand out players and the bench can easily be involved more during games and earlier on. Tronstad and Travis will burnout soon. There are never any minutes for Baker, Sigurdsson or Buckley. It seemed to take forever for him to make any significant subs and the game was nearly over.

Enough to put people off going. Waggott back in action!

We simply have to get some better wingers.

1 in 10+ isn't good enough for me but Dolan absolutely has poor crossing technique for what it's worth. You won't see a good cross often.

The team is performing miracles with the lack of Wharton money reinvested (lets not forget that). Surely a £3m transfer budget should exist at this level without selling a player for £21m... 🤨 The squad still lacks pace and quality. I fear this fixture could be a game too far.

Crossing from our wingers is terrible. The service from Dolan and Hedges has been appalling/ non existent all season. We need to bring in a wide attacker with pace and a decent delivery. Beck, Brittain and Cantwell are the only players in our team who can cross a ball. Pickering can but he can't beat the first man to get his cross in so it's a waste of time. I'd still like to see a bit more of Sigurdsson in games. He has good technique for this level.

Sometimes if you aren't good enough it's best not to sign a new deal since it allows a club that wouldn't usually spend money on you to take a punt. That is what will happen here, the risk is you end up in League One and ability wise Dolan would not be out of place there. It's a risky move and I doubt he has the best advisors, looking at his friendship groups around the ground on a match day.

I don't see him being used as a "squad man". I see him starting far too many games.

I'll add... that was one of Pickering's best games in a long time.

Every team in the Championship targets Pickering. He can't jump and is possibly the least mobile full back in the league? That is on the owners and their lack of funding, we've been too tight to sign a permanent upgrade for years now for him and Dolan; two players that wouldn't be out of place in League One. If you are still regularly starting Tyrhys Dolan in the Championship it means you didn't quite recruit well enough, despite Gueye and Ohashi. Separate note, the manager has got his starting XI wrong two games in a row now AND multiple changes should have been made at HT in both games. Poor.

I can’t believe I’m having to pay to watch Tyrhys Dolan. Terrible player.

Who is supposed to be providing service to the forwards from the right hand side, and who is supposed to be providing service to the forwards from the left? Carter and Dolan? Give it a rest. Dolan is extremely inconsistent and largely a liability on the ball that takes too many touches or doesn't connect cleanly. Carter is a CB. That aside they still should have done better tonight. Tronstad, Travis and about 9 others didn't play well.

Rovers didn't fancy the rain tonight, or staying at the top of the Championship. A loss is fine but that was unacceptable and players need taking off quicker. It was clear from the start and major changes should have happened at half time.

We absolutely rolled over for them here. Pathetic performance from the players... and the manager. 2 subs were needed at HT.

Absolutely

The player was out of control in my opinion.

That Burnley side isn't going up

I think we do it today.

We haven't spent as much as we probably could or should have but we've signed players in nearly all the positions we needed. Anyone on the fence about getting a season ticket, get one and lets get down to Ewood and see how high this team can finish. The atmosphere has been great so far this season and we all needed a boost player wise! Gueye, Ohashi, Cantwell, Dubbery 👌🏻
