Oh my god. Have to score that!!!! -

I like how he's willing to run in behind beyond the forwards. We lack that often. -

LET have Carter and Hyannis at CB. Assuming that's a typo for Hyam..? -
Didnt see the gamd but Probably one of the best results and performances of the season. Also good to see there would be life to the team without BBD. You could argue in the last 2 games having two genuine wingers in dolan and Thomas on either flank has helped the team. If Gallagher did nothing else other than stay central and throw himself at crosses he'd do alright at championship level.
-
Take the win. We seem harder to beat in the last month or so even if the football hasn't been great. Games like today show how desperate we are for a striker. Would have been put to bed before half time if any of them had some ability.
-
Need a second. 1-0 has Blackpool getting a late one out of nothing written all over it.
-
An early goal would help us massively against a side like Blackpool. It's seems so long ago that we scored early in a game. I can't even remember when.
-
if BBD is out, Id definately consider Lenoard. He cant be any worse than Vale or Gallagher and might make the step up look simple. Would be like a new signing if he did. Whilst Szmodic (spelling?) has been pretty poor hes got a couple more goals than the rest of the other forwards so should replace Dack.

v Swansea City (h) - 18/2/23
benhben replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Hopefully the BBD goal will help him get his mojo back. Swansea will have a lot of the ball, that's how they play. In a way it would suit our forwards to play on the counter but likely JDT will want to match Swansea possession style. Britain back also helps IMO even if JRC has been ok lately. We're desperately devoid of anything in CM though. Pears Britain Carter Hyam Pickering Travis Buckley Thomas Dack Dolan BBD -
The body of ex Chelsea and Newcastle player Chritstian Atsu has been found under a collapsed building in Turkey. Weren't we close to getting him on loan 2 or 3 seasons back? Poor bloke
-
Need to change something in that midfield and forward line. Its just not working, though our options are limited. Defence is still reasonably solid, despite the injuries. I am assuming Hyam and Ayala are out. Kaminski Brittain Carter Wharton Pickering JRC Travic Dack Thomas BBD Dolan

Brittain walks back into the side for me. Our best fullback by far, specialist in that position and competent both going forward and at the back. Not too slow either. JRCs lack of pace is a massive hinderance at full back for me. If anywhere I think hed do ok in central areas where pace isnt such an issue.
-
Are there not rules against so many first teamers and players over 21 playing for the U21s? I'd have thought there would be a limit not nearly a full side. JDT seems to treat the U21s like an old school reserve side. I remember as a teenager when blackburn reserves played at Morecambe Fcs ground just round the corner from me. £3 a game and it was mostly first teamers who didn't play at the weekend. Had some big names down there. Dwight Yorke, Diego Forlan, David Ginola, Jason Wilcox to name a few. Bit worried some of our genuine U21 prospects struggle for game time now.
-
Kaminski injured? Apologies if it's already been discussed? I've literally no idea how this will go. That line up doesn't exactly breed confidence. Their forward Keane has 10 league goals apparently so more than any pf ours. Dack to carry us!

January Transfer Window.
benhben replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I understand the sentiment, but I can only feel a certain amount of sorrow for someone in their mid 20s earning £1000s a week for doing nothing. More time to get his golf handicap down. -
I think some demonstrations at the ground are long overdue, or at least some banners asking for the board to explain themselves in particularly Venkys, Waggot and Broughton. Broughtons role in this cant be overlooked. Unless he is hamstrung by those higher up, he was brought in to make sure these thinks proceed correctly. I reckon Skysports would spin the story of discruntled little blackburn fans complaining when were in the playoffs, what else do they expect??

benhben replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
It would be nice for JDT to come out and say it as it is, that the club had a chance of promotion, I wanted to strengthen but the club and the board failed to perform and the club needs to sort itself out if it ever wants to improve. I suspect hes a tow the company line type of guy though, which is probably why he agreed to work under these morons. -

benhben replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
No chance a deal has been done if theres been nothing this late. The staff will have been on site for ample time to get something out. More likely theres some internal arguing and desperately coming up with a saving face excuse. -

Hope is there's a couple of names to be announced today, Expectation is that we achieved fuck all and the announcement is that there is no announcement! Fully expect to hear nothing. Hope to be proved wrong. There are clubs with more strict FFP restrictions than ours that still manage to get business done more efficiently than us. Amateur shambles at times. -

Talk of multiple missed targets, a manager wanting players and not getting them, best player off for nothing. Not good reading in any way. Strikes me as a bit of a shambles. I suspect that between the manager, GB and the new scouting/recruitment staff the club can identify targets but a mix of FFP and owners who dont care makes it impossible to get anything other than bargain basement deals over the line. I could easily see JDT, GB and co walking away after a while of this. In other non Rovers related transfer news, City are letting Cancelo go on loan with option to buy to Bayern. Cant believe City are happy to let him go. He was one of the best 2 or 3 full backs in world football last season. Mental. -

Cant say I'd ever heard of Sorba Thomas until yesterday. We're crying out for some more pace in the side so if he brings this then its a good addition. Cant get too excited however about a winger who can't get in huddersfields side, when to me were more desperate for a striker and centre mid. Is he much different to Dolan or Markanday, time will tell. Hopefully hes as well as ST and CM and not instead of. Strikes me a bit like Giles last season, came when leading the assist charts only to find Gallagher couldnt out jump a drawf. Ended up at right back or something. -

Increasingly confident that we wont sign anyone. Silence from GB and signs of frustration from JDT. Hope is well doe something, expectation is nothing. -

Is Markanday injured? He seems to have been the only semi bright spark in the last month.
