I fancy us against any tram at ewood and tonight will be no different. Hopefully they don't play aswell as they did against Sunday and we aren't as wasteful as against Swansea. I think as soon as they had a man sent off and we were expected to have the ball and move it around we looked lost. If anything it played into their hands. We are much better breaking on teams rather than keeping possession. Even still the fact we had so many clear cut chances and didnt take any was ridiculous. We were much better than say the Hull game so I'm not too worried. Hopefully we get the same amount of chances and can actually take a couple.

Always give us a chance at ewood but yeah they looked brilliant yesterday. Hopefully it took it out if them and we can get the odd goal. Unrelated but how shite is Scott Parker as a manager.

Ayala starts up top at Swansea then.

Fuck sake 😂

I think pickering has shown glimpses of what he's capable of. Hopefully a bit of competition helps him develop.

No Giles then.

Decent signings by Bournemouth but surely the number of them, shows he isn't happy with his squad and how they are playing. We played them off the park not long back and their result's have been poor. It smacks of desperation to me. We have made and need maybe a couple more smart signings. Giles would be a start and would calm everyone down a bit 😅

I've just drove past Josh Maja at the farthings pub.

Yeah Giles and zeefuik/nyambe at wing back would be superb. Even if it meant nyambe covering at centre back. We still need a striker and cover in midfield for me. It's time to shit or bust. I'd rather get fucked by ffp and all that comes with it then let this chance slip. Not my money l know 😂

Bournemouth may come back knowing we now have an unsettled player. They need to throw everything at going back up. I know they have decent backing but that premiership money will he drying up. Lets face it they are a small club with adequate facilities, a small stadium with a smaller fan base. Without the parachute payment and backing they are league one standard at best.

I think we've covered our back here by not throwing him under the bus. It's all speculation so far that he refused to play/demanded a move. If it comes out at the end of the season and we go up, I couldn't care less let him walk for free. Get out of him what we can, what we've invested three season's into him.

Hope we can sign this matt Giles lad from wolves. One question though, if he was doing so well and aying regularly for Cardiff why was he recalled?

'benson and hedges up top'

Fair I always seem to remember villa going on that ten plus game run and going up 😂. Either way the play offs would be amazing achievement but one I'd rather swerve 😅

Yeah at the beginning of the season, I think most of us would've been more than happy with the play offs. But given our current situation and the way we are playing at the minute, second place is definitely achievable. Even the results of other games seem to be going our way at the minute. I think the team that finishes third, having challenged for second never goes up. It's always the team that go on a run and sneak into sixth that wins the play offs.

In other news it looks like we've signed the next Declan Rice.

Yeah he had a good game the other night but let's not get carried away. If he could find consistency and keep up to that standard, then you've got a brilliant player. Shane he doenst though and that's why he's not in the premier league.

Yeah 2 million in the grand scheme of things for a club with a real chance at promotion is nothing. Unless we can find a similar situation where we can get a class player on the cheap. If he threw his toys out of the pram or demanded a move then fair enough.

I'd rather let him walk for free unless we can get a decent replacement in for that much.

Great battling performance from the whole team. Just what was needed after the recent wobble. Gally looked brilliant fair balls to him he shifted and put himself about. Great finish across the goal aswell. Zeefuik looked lightening in his little cameo and was unlucky not to get a debut goal. We defended so well last night, they had so many corners and free kicks and we seemed to win the majority. As nights go at ewood that was up there for recent times. Class all round.

I'd of said the same about Harvey Elliot before he signed to be fair. That'd be the absolute best out come and we can hope 😂. He'd do alot better playing in the championship than the under 23s.

Kasey palmer 🙃🙃🙃 But I agree you've got to give it to mowbray and his scouts, they usually do well in the loan market. Teams will see that and hopefully that will give us an advantage over most clubs. It's not ideal but it's better than being short or players. I'd of been doing everything in our power to get the lad Doyle in who's gone to Cardiff. It may be a bit ambitious but getting someone in like Cole palmer would be amazing. I know he would get the odd chance at city but maybe six months here would bring him along.

Let's just be glad Bournemouth lost again so Hull can be seen as a let off 😂. I'm quietly confident maybe natively so but I always think we can perform at home (bar Fulham). Win tomorrow and we're back on track.

Gallagher gets a new deal and respondes by going missing. Could be excused if he was a young lad, not use to first team football but he isn't. If you're not playing very well work hard win the ball and win fouls do something. Show a bit of bite and desire. Dack is brilliant at this if he isn't having the best game, he gets stuck in and wins fouls all over the pitch. He affects the game however he can and puts himself about. I get he's being played out of position but Jesus, can you imagine us having him up top and depending on him to lead the line.

Hull's new owners missus was the highlight surely?
