His 60 minutes against Leicester u-23s was more of a leisurely stroll than an intense match. Not his fault but Leicester really weren't any good.

Risky to play Williams out there with Hoilett around.

I'd be very tempted to get Ayala in to counter Moore but who would you drop out of Williams and Lenihan?

only 16

Just make sure that iFollow picks up that you are outside the UK

At least one - me Seriously, we are too busy moaning about season tickets to find time to watch a stream..

Still had to have boots on the ground with both the Kaminski and Holtby deals. First to pick up on the vibes then be there to influence them. Remember Hotby's tweets about coming to Rovers?- somebody did a great job selling him on coming to Blackburn. I an very much in the pro-Raya camp but (VERY early days) I am glad we have Kaminski

Clearly something went on with Raya given the way he dropped out of the squad for a League match then got a new contract.

Depends on the contract break terms. Greggs are probably pretty unbreakable. Spar are global. If those two see the Asda deal as a threat don't be surprised by a hostile reaction. Asda is usually assessed as the most vulnerable/weakest national supermarket chain and two decades of Walmart ownership didn't solve it - hence the partial disposal. Ocado are easily the hottest thing in British retail despite that fire destroying their automated warehouse

Should be ok to see it

Both Grayson and Carter looked very ponderous. Mind you they were up against some flyers in the Manc youngsters.

Poor old Josh King missing with a migraine. Danjuma who has impressed me enormously totally missing tonight. £14m man Lerma has just scored for Bournemouth in Birmingham.

Man U had some tasty players at the back. McBride held his own but didn't shine. Luke Brennan was too much of a handful for the Mancs though.

They are very heavily leveraged. Great if everything goes well. Unravels rapidly if not. Risks for their sorts of businesses are sky high in times as peculiar as these.

Given where they are in the evolution of their business, this is not the time for the Issas to be making unnecessary spending.

Rovers top of PL2 Div 1.

Rovers well on top then ran out of energy from the 80th minute. Hugill got his 2nd to peg it back to 2-2

Pike on Grayson off

Hit post, cleared off line, now Lyons 2-1. Rovers well on top this half.

HT. Rovers have had good chances to be ahead but the pace of the United forwards looks too much for our defenders.

All the possible options for the first team are not in the u-23s squad today.

1-1 McBride Penalty

Awful keeper clearance and 16 year old Hugill puts Mancs ahead after 1 minute. Completely bamboozled Joe Grayson.

9 changes for Rovers. Mancs have an extremely young side.
