In truth, BBD has paid nowt back. Goes missing when needed and leaving for nothing after the club’s massive investment in him. The model hasn’t worked with him, that’s for sure 🙈

Great post, spot on with analysis.

Agreed, bench player and that is where his best work has come from.

Not a goal threat between those named.

Did we ever bring in the set piece coach we were looking to recruit ?

Barker was a very decent player, scored a few and combative but a little slow. From what little I have seen so far, Wharton looks to have the potential to be a lot better.

Odds say they are due a loss. We can but hope and pray.

Few goals from midfield and defence is spot on. I’d take one of our CH’s or 6ft 3+ forwards winning a header from an attacking set piece, rarer than rocking horse shit.

Good post, we all know it. Dack is the only one who can put the ball in the onion bag and he’s never on the pitch.

How do you play almost an entire season and not notch a single goal from a central midfield berth 🤷‍♂️

Spot on, infuriating. I am trying to stay positive, if we can beat Cov and Knob End we can knock them out and hopefully, Luton and Millwall will already be in the play offs by the time we play them. Burnley, we demand a performance, whatever the next two results. Sadly, deep down we know how it ends, most likely a pitiful capitulation like the one we endured last Easter at Peterborough but until it materialises, we live in hope.

Not in a million years would we get Gyorkes, he will be playing in the EPL.

Not indeed the footballing behemoths of Luton and Millwall. It might not be 1995 but FFS, we are Blackburn Rovers.

I think it was the Norwich game that he had one in the box and wanted a touch and it ran straight across him, without making contact. Any competent striker would have buried it. I have no personal issue with Sam, he really tries but he is simply, bobbins. Sadly, BBD is little better.

Szmodics missed a good few opportunities as well, poor control when would have been through on keeper and a few poor shots.

Szmodics worked hard but once again, missed some of our better chances without even forcing a save from the keeper. Szmodics, Gallagher, BBD, Dolan, Thomas, Morton, Travis, not a goal threat between them 🙈

In all honesty, I think I am happy to see him go, been garbage for the majority of his time at Rovers. Obviously, I would rather have seen some cash come in but in truth, very poor value for the £7m fee 🙈

If they had moved quicker in the summer as well, they would have got Anel A. As it is, he is one of the key reasons for Sheffield United going up.

We desperately need a goal but never seem to throw the kitchen sink at anyone or be in a hurry, infuriating 😡

He has had a purple patch here in an otherwise poor 5 year period. Never, ever going to score loads of goals, doesn’t have striker’s instinct and not brave enough.

Yep, Lewis O’Brien and the striker that they spectacularly failed with in January, FFS 🙈

Agreed, woeful up front.

Absolutely, Wharton did more in 5 minutes than anyone on for the full 90. Leonard went closer than Gallagher / BBD in his 5 minutes
