Yasir Sufi saying on X that the end blocks in the Blackburn End Upper are not suitable for sale because some works needs doing up there that can't be done between Christmas and new year. Why have they only discovered this now and how long has that work needed doing for? Also strange that it affects both end blocks.

Ryo Germain has signed for Hiroshima, who I think we got Yuki from.

Yep it's another myth of JDT's first season that we collapsed after Christmas. Our form remained quite good up until the FA Cup Quarter final, with only 1 defeat in 13 between the Rotherham debacle and losing at Sheffield Utd, losing that how we did followed by a 2 week break for International's is what I think knocked the stuffing out of us that season, and 1 win in 9 followed right at the crucial part of the season. Of course 2 or 3 quality additions in Jan might have solved that but we all know what happened there. A huge missed opportunity that season, and personally don't think we will ever get a better shot.

Just a reminder that we haven't scored an injury time winner/equaliser in front of fans since November 2019. Closest since was an 89th minute winner against Swansea in Feb 2023. 86th minute

Exactly. Just a little light hearted joke pal you don't have to take it so serious 😉

I was right more often than not!

Think yesterday conceding so late could be a killer. I'm going for a 0-0 or 1-1 draw.

McBurnie is just not going to happen.

That's incorrect. The ticket office is open tomorrow 10-3. Duplicates are printed at Milwall's end ready to collect on the day tomorrow, but you have to ring Rovers first so they can sort it out for you. I know this because I rang them yesterday over the same issue, they told me if they don't arrive today to give them a ring either today or in the morning and they will sort out, luckily though mine came in today's post.

Nonsense link.

Away tickets aren't digital. Rovers ticket office opens at 10am tomorrow, give them a call and they will arrange for duplicates to be collected at Milwall tomorrow

Hedges will be a cheap extension to do is my guess, who will require very little if any uplift in salary in exchange for a couple of years security. Dolan, Trav, Tronstad, Brittain, Hyam, I have zero faith we will be able to tie these up as we won't pay what it would take to do so.

Blackburn End upper is now available I believe, well N06 and N07 anyway.

I didn't take to him straight away, but could see he was trying to make us more organised and harder to beat to start with so gave him the benefit of the doubt after a while. This season he has set us up superbly so far, especially on this little run. Nothing is achieved in December though, so if we don't finish higher than 7th and get past the Quarter finals of the FA Cup then he can't be considered our best manager under these idiots. Even Mowbray won 6 in a row and kept 5 clean sheets in a row in November/December 2021 so forgive me for not getting too excited just yet.

I think that's when you would have to go to more of a strict back 3 with Pickering and Batth/Hyam either side of him, which we kind of play when Pickering and Beck play together anyway.

2023, but yes we did.

"lol" as the kids say these days.

Trains from Preston and back again could be fun with nob end playing at QPR at the same time.

Bare in mind there is around 3.5k empty in the away end, and 3k still empty in the Blackburn End upper. We'll be nowhere near 28k, for the reason's you have stated.

First bit of serious interest and Eustace will be off. Unless we somehow go up this season, Eustace won't be here building anything special because the owner's won't allow it.

Yeah I thought the same. Eustace is a young ambitious manager who is currently doing a very good job, the problem, as always will be that the club won't match what he eventually wants to do/achieve. Same as JDT when he was here, he was always linked away when a job came up, and again that was him and his agent at play. Notice how Mowbray in the 5 years he was here didn't get linked with anything, and that's because he was happy plodding along, doing nothing under very little pressure and topping up his pension fund. Young, ambitious people don't last long at this club because under this ownership, what's the point?

Lose this 2-0 to start the new year slump nice and early.

Just as easily as we have won 5 in a row, we can easily go and lose 5 in a row in this league. I wouldn't be writing this thread off just yet.

Last season.

If he gets the win do you think the Hull fans will claim it as his victory?
