Is there a solid argument that we are stronger in any position other than left back? Keepers - same Right back - lost back up in Bennett, otherwise same, Nyambe near end of contract but Pike and Carter showing promise Central Defence - lost THB and (thankfully) Branthwaite, brought in the Dutch lad. Carter and Wharton seem to be a future pairing but Ayala staying fit (big if) is crucial - Lenihan nearing end of contract Left Back - Bell and Douglas gone, neither a big loss, Pickering looks ok and new lad could be a good un - progress Central midfield - lost a playmaker in Holtby and backup options in Evans and Trybull (neither a huge loss) brought in Clarkson who seems to occupy similar positions to Buckley Wing forwards - brought in Poveda and Kedra, could be good but big ask to replace Elliotts contributions Strikers - lost a 29 goal man, not replaced at all It seems we are now reliant on a number of attacking players chipping in with goals but the concern is we’ve lost 40 or so goals from last season and brought in players with less than a handful of career goals (maybe even games) between them

John Park was described by the manager as a workaholic https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/19510574.blackburn-rovers-transfer-chief-appointment-no-brainer-mowbray/ Now call me old fashioned but if someone is a workaholic, working all hours and getting those results something indicates they may not be very adept at actually doing the job.

Before I go into a rant about the business I wanted to say something positive Well done to the guys over at Roverschat for trying something new tonight, caught some of it and was nice to see Now back to your regular programming

Quoting myself a couple of weeks back here but was this the easiest prediction of the window?

As in he’s anatomically perfect?

Maybe Burke was a tactical leak so if we sign nobody the argument becomes ‘well people didn’t want Burke so they should be happy’ Either way the whole thing stinks

So you are saying that stats don’t tell the story here? This is bizarro world stuff

General consensus on Twitter among Sheff United fans is ‘start the car’

Oli Burke fits the bill - as in not very good and bottom of the barrel

One way or another we’ll know in 3 hours, I’m in no rush to find out before then just get it done! Expecting it to be someone we haven’t even discussed and comes out of the blue

Morsey going to Ipswich is a surprise, he’s a shithouse but good enough for this league. Him and Cook forming their grin partnership again

Wanted it to work out for Harry here but it’s been clear that’s not going to happen, he looked miserable warming up against West Brom recently A move seems best for everyone

Can see it being a loan

So we need a striker and are linked to Obafemi and then Lowe along with Bournemouth. Lowe has gone to Bournemouth and Obafemi is going to Swansea to replace Lowe. Hope ours is a good un

Chaddy will be excited

Brighton lad confirmed

Probably the most consistent in breaking signings for us

Seems to be the direction we are going Anyone know a lot about Lowe? Be nice to have J Lowe back in the team

Ah fair enough, I didn’t see them announce it and saw a few people asking, as I said I didn’t see them pick a winner but glad it did happen

He’s got a long name, he’s got a long name, Adetayo Oluwatosin Olusegun Adio Aduramigba Iretioluwa Edun, he’s got a long name!

Interesting signing this lad can’t say I know too much about him but a decent cheap gamble maybe (full name Adetayo Oluwatosin Olusegun Adio Aduramigba Iretioluwa Edun)

So Khedra will be next in, seems we are getting the ones that are easy to be done sorted, just hope we land the ones we really need!

I don’t really care about motivations at all as long as they are good enough. Chaddy coming across like a scorned lover here, if we only sign players who want to play solely for the desire to be at Rovers we wouldn’t have much of a team at all

The sponsors are just as bad, they did a Twitter competition for corporate hospitality for 10 people for the Swansea game and as far as I can see didn’t actually pick a winner so just got the exposure of lots of retweets Edit - corrected below it seems they did pick the winner just maybe didn’t announce it

I remember Pedersen using a towel on occasion, and his shirt on others. I also remember Burnley moving the advertising hoardings closer to the pitch when Stoke came to town. I tend to think it to be a minor thing to moan about as long as the ref is adding time on. There’s plenty of minor things done to try and improve performance or counter another teams strengths.
