Did Szmodics even acknowledge the fans then when he came off? Maybe I missed it

Really like the look of Duru, if he was left sided surely he'd be straight in the first team

Was 9 last time I think, but as far as I'm aware they've not even said this time - standard

He's 21 though, at that age I think Szmodics was cutting about at Colchester right? I think its exactly the move he needed and if he stays fit I can see him scoring 10 goals + this season for Brentford easily.

Erm yeah but Luton should be in the same boat should they not? They were dogshit and will miss Barkley you feel, although they did have a fair few injuries as well. They looked like a team who'd barely had a pre season, although I'm sure Edwards said pre match they'd been good pre season. They'll undoubtedly be up there as they should be, but in a derby game if your players are up for it anything can happen. Sadly last time round at the turf they absolutely were not up for it, coupled with the totally wrong team selection. At Ewood, partly because he played Adam, we made more of a game of it.

Why? We beat them to Wahlstedt? Although in hindsight wish we hadn't.

Liverpool have said they'll listen to offers for Doak today

Yeah Plymouth look terrible. Sheff Wednesday haven't been particularly good either really that second goal was gifted to them. That shirt is bloody awful too especially the back of it.

The main problem with Sigurdsson, for me anyway, is that he appears to be made out of pink wafers and it's never long before his next injury strikes. Never had a consistent run of games and ultimately has never got properly up to speed with the championship.

Likewise if it's true, as a player would Szmodics even want to play for a cash rich team (at present) that won't stump up that amount? Seems an odd story which I find hard to believe. Chaddy the parrot will of course say Alan Nixon has been correct with backroom stories this last few months, obviously.

I'd give them less if at all possible, not sure the minimum requirements.

Was starting to look all so familiar when they grabbed the equaliser. Fair play though JE, probably the best use of substitutes I can ever remember, wouldn't be surprised if its some sort of record 3 subs scoring like that! Worrying how we got caught out numerous times on set pieces, although credit to Derby they were very good on them, mixed them up and clearly practiced them rather a lot in training. Promising debuts all round which was pleasing, especially when you consider a few were new to the championship and none of them fully fit. Derby weren't great though it has to be said, but their set pieces will probably pick a few points up along the way. A bigger test awaits next league game.....

More interestingly, a certain Andrew Cole has also commented

That's quite some achievement by Waggott tbf, 26 minutes or so of talking without actually revealing anything of any real interest that wasn't already known. That'll be it now for another year too, his 'communication' duties. Honestly he must think everyone's simple.

For all the shambolic things at the club, you'd think the facilities and tech available at Brockhall are a lot more capable of analysing a players match fitness than a few people on here making assumptions 🤣 I'm sure he's itching to use Yuki himself but he should know when he's ready using the info provided to him.

Pretty sure he will have allocated the task of informing them to someone else too the coward.

New sponsor set to be confirmed as whoever is jetwashing the Blackburn End probably, few squirts to cover sponsorship for the season, Steve the businessman.

Initially you mean, or thats it? Surely the former although nothing surprises me anymore.

Looks like work has finally begun on jetwashing the filthy stands 👍

He may as well not have done if this is all they're going to say.

Fuck me as if this just flashed up on my phone, what a memorable occasion. Fucking rat.

Jesus, people waited all day to read that 🙄

Isn't that the exact wording from the forum meeting?

I know for certain most will disagree but I don't think Pears is anywhere near as bad as people make out sometimes. Over a full season i 100% don't want him as my first choice keeper, because over that period of time he will make too many mistakes. For the sake of potentially a few games though he's an OK understudy.

Yep he or his minions read this board 100% Hi King rat 🖕
