Genuinely think our two best central midfielders are playing tonight, problem is one is centre half and the other right wing. Smallwood lumping that out of play then was just poor

What a stupid tackle by Graham totally pointless

Changed the game on that occasion though we were scared of him

He eventually booked him

Awful challenge and the ref wasn’t even going to book him until it became obvious it was an injury

Still sticking to us getting a 2-1 win, the likely subs of Rothwell, Palmer and Brereton have quality from the bench

Graham up front with Dack in behind and Reed and Arma out wide Bell back in for Williams and Rodwell In for Lenihan Brereton on the bench

I think he may put Brereton in tonight, that goal is coming on his first start!

I’d love to see Rodwell in the middle, think he’s got the athleticism and a great range of passing still in his locker but it seems to be decided that he’s now a defender and that’s where he’ll play as backup.

3-0 down at home to West Ham, tough learning this season for them edit - 3-1 now Nuttall penalty

The club have just released a statement from Tony, a plea to keep fans on side and continue the backing, can’t argue with any of it I presume they have picked up on some concern from the weekend and know that Tony is super popular and it’s a good way to try and stop the murmurs of concern, as always he comes across as a great human and someone easy to like: https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2018/november/tonys-plea-to-fans/ Edit my apologies it seems it was from Thursday

If ever we needed a midweek game it’s now, under Mowbray I can’t recall us having many consistent bad runs and tend to bounce back quickly. A somewhat mystifying team selection followed by a 2-1 win

Even if the players brought in had more of an impact I think it was a howler and uncharacteristic awful man management in the handling of Nuttall and Travis. Both have just wasted a good half a season and lost any momentum they had at crucial parts of their careers. Since the window closed I think Trav has had about 20 minutes and Nuttall not even made the bench.

Not sure how much I buy the stuff about Graham not training, Rich Sharpe has him down in his predicted line up so it certainly doesn’t seem something that was mentioned at the presser, a wildcard tactical gamble that failed.

He’s just had a two week rest! I do agree though to an extent, the problem is he is so good that we base a system around him and when he doesn’t perform we struggle. Go back to the old fashioned two up top and give Brereton a go with Graham next game

Sending Palmer back would be daft, even if he’s only on the bench I don’t see better players waiting in the wings. Rothwell looks more dynamic but so far has produced less. You have to wonder if Brereton isn’t the player we thought we had signed, the hype video and half time introduction hinted at our new main man yet he won’t even play him when our only other striker isn’t deemed fit. What happened to that Moore lad that was at Rotherham once? He was a big lump in the Kuqi mould but looked handy.

This hasn’t gone to plan

Ah so that’s what strikers do

Problem is playing a midfielder up front does nothing for their confidence or the strikers they are in ahead of

I also preferred it two weeks ago when Nyambe was the Namibian Cafu

Bring back international football

I do wonder about the free school tickets thing, they obviously still do it but I remember back 10-15 years maybe there was an obvious noise from them in some games. They used to be top of the top tier of the Blackburn end and quite a lot, I wonder if the take up is less or less are offered now?

TM on Bradley Dack: "He has come a long way really quickly. "He came at a very low number from Gillingham and we have now given him a new deal. "I'm hoping I will be going to Steve pretty soon and saying we will be giving Bradley another year and a few more quid and feel among the higher earners in the team." so Bradley isn’t currently amongst the top earners in the team? Surely it’s not still Evans

I think it would be harsh to blame Lincoln here, if he was good enough he’d be playing for them they’d have no reason not to!
