  1. The squad has a nice balance to it, the long game recruitment is starting to look really good thanks to Gallagher and Brereton now delivering and the shape we are adopting. Armstrong firing on all cylinders. Having the likes of Dolan and Elliott along with Brereton and Gallagher all vying for 2 wide forward positions is a lovely little battle. Then you have the likes of Holtby, Rothwell, Dack, Trybull, Johnson, Travis and co options centrally. Still think we are relatively low on options at the back but Williams and Wharton are proving (when fit) to be decent options with Nyambe and Douglas great first choice full backs. Kaminski looks inspired, his presence seems to really steady and organise those in front of him. Huge credit due there, I’ll be surprised if we go up still but I think top 6 is now something we should be disappointed if we don’t achieve with what we have. I don’t think we’ll be far off either
  2. Delighted he’s starting to come good and his improvement is obvious, long May it continue. Not going to rewrite history some of his previous performances were laughably bad, it seemed every game he’d shank one out for a throw or trip himself up, the glimpses of promise were few and far between. The lack of fans and thus pressure has been a huge boost for him even though the fans were very patient in the grounds, when we can return you feel he’ll benefit from getting up and going in the quieter times. Is it a bargain? Not yet, could it turn out to be? Yes! And I didn’t think I’d say that 6 months or so ago
  3. Would be interested to know how many touches Kaminski had in the second half! So pleased with Brereton steadily chipping in now, any doubts in his own mind should be at ease now which is important and also Dolan scoring again after a quieter spell and a difficult time shows he’s here to stay as well!
  4. B-E-A-utiful! The type of football poetry that only seems to happen against us
  5. Sad that it’s not on the red button, think I’ll just be following along on Twitter for updates Been a while since we’ve got a result there, hope tonight changes that
  6. The recent shirt produced by footballtown.com and some of the stuff theterracestore.com are doing is exactly the sort of stuff that sells these days and combine nostalgia with a bit of class https://footballtown.com/collections/united-kingdom/products/the-red-rose https://theterracestore.com/collections/all/blackburn
  7. Yep, part of me thinks then why is he on the bench, then another part of me thinks maybe Tony is doing him a solid by keeping him involved with the lads. Football may be a good therapy though
  8. Seems odd we didn’t roll the dice and get Dolan on today
  9. Anyway ref aside there’s plenty of opportunity to win that game and it took them scoring for us to ever look like doing it it seems
  10. Plenty on Twitter raging that Brereton didn’t get a penalty, the booking is a joke but not sure how it could be a penalty outside the box
  11. JRC is another with cheese strings tot hamstrings
  12. Decent line up, expect a 3-1 win with Brero scoring again
  13. I haven’t bought a single pass this season, it’s not the clubs fault but the quality is abysmal and the real time lag makes it almost pointless for me
  14. Odd one when there isn’t any speculation as such but let’s be honest buying ‘cheap’ and selling high is a dream for CEO’s I imagine it’s their ideal scenario, sell at a premium in January as it validates the work they are doing from a commercial standpoint They will be pointing to Ollie Watkins and hoping for the same story here Problem being Brentford have a decent track record of replacing with similar prospects, would we?
  15. He’s very vocal (when he’s not suffering from Covid) and I think he probably helps organise the defence even on the goal within seconds against Reading
  16. I like Neil Yardley for what it’s worth, top bloke as well. I wonder what Wendy is up to these days, we must have been ahead of the curve with a lady commentator! Finally pulled myself away from CNN and saw the goals, Lovely finish from Brereton and the little clipped balls from Elliott are a delight!
  17. 100% a penalty, intentional or not he’s slapped him
  18. Great that Kaminski is back but why is out 37th choice keeper on the bench?
  19. This is something @Mattyblue has mentioned many times in the past, once people get out of the habit it’s hard to get them back into it
  20. Sadly I didn’t have a clue who we were playing and have no inclination to buy a streaming pass. I wish it wasn’t this way but struggling for any enthusiasm
  21. I think we’re now meant to accept that we can’t compete with better teams and managers so 0-0 is an achievement
  22. Ha ha ha the tannoy just gave Pears man of the match
