  1. For what its worth, the whispers I am hearing are pretty consistent that a keeper is close.
  2. As soon as the case was scheduled as item 36 in the Court, a further delay became likely. The club has had several days to prepare a comment. Nothing so far and the silence now is more eloquent than whatever eventually will be said. 10 days to the end of the transfer window and actions will speak louder still.
  3. https://www.rangers.co.uk/article/report-blackburn-rovers-6-2-rangers-b/tvT2Ps5GwnCwkFpZLhCcu
  4. The only way a Court deals with 48 cases in a day is if they are all sealing out of court settlements. Otherwise it is an adjournment.
  5. Came on to check for incomings, not read about outgoings. But hey ho
  6. In terms of Venkys departing, I very much doubt it. In terms of Eustace getting what he needs for a shot at the play offs this season, just maybe... I am basing that on the back office recruitment. You'd save yourself a couple of hundred grand in wage costs at least if there was absolutely no intention to fund this window.
  7. Also shots go past him a better keeper saves.
  8. I watched bits of Oxford games against Norwich and Coventry. Norwich were woeful and Coventry wasteful. Oxford move the ball quickly and skilfully in midfield but oten mix in route 1 long balls as well. They don't make many chances but are lethal when they do. Coventry showed a high press and rapid incisive attacks can open Oxford at will. Defence is bodies on the line over organisation. Irrespective of signings or not, we have enough to win this one but we won't if we don't move the ball sharply.
  9. Any good goalkeepers in the J League?
  10. I disagree. His two errors at Ewood in goal for Brum were the difference that sent them down and kept us up in the final analysis. I'd say that was extremely useful for Rovers.. But i'm with you in saying forget about signing him.
  11. Three ex Rovers keepers in PL goal yesterday. Chuck in Szmodics, Armstrong, BBD- have I missed anyone from Rovers playing the Premier.yesterday?
  12. Losing a game we should have won
  13. We needed to avoid making mistakes so we made a howler. Weinmann must think he's jinxed. Subbed on again and we immediately let a goal in.
  14. Horvath in goal for Cardiff at Turf Moor gifted 2 to the Dingles. Oh dear!!!!!!
  15. Watched a bit of Boro at Derby. Boro very slick and shooting from anywhere but nothing like as quick as we were in attack. Horrific back pass set up Jackson to run half the pitch and round Dieng for the Derby goal. Derby growing into it despite two bad injuries at the back- Nyambe on and giving silly fouls away.
  16. Sammy seamlessly straight into Lewis Travis' old position on the bench.
  17. Malta is now a country Rovers TV cannot be transmitted to so I understand why I wasn't offered a renewal.
  18. With the Szmodics sale and the new EPL Sky deal, administration is now two years away at the earliest. Either 10m is committed in new player wages, transfer fees and loan fees in the coming two weeks or the signal has come from Pune that funding for Rovers is at an end irrespective of what Waggott and co say. So would we prefer Rovers making a reasonable splash in the transfer market or confirmation Venky's have had enough?
  19. I was grouping where the selection choices are. I doubt he would play the 2 midfielders without another essentially midfield player in the centre of the 3 in 4-2-3-1
  20. Without Szmodics, Pears, Brittain and Pickering pick themselves for better or worse... Choice of 2 from Hyam, Carter, Batth and McFadzean - not that bad 3 from Travis, Tronstad, JRC and Buckley - very thin but all 4 are well capable 3 from Gueye, Ohashi, Weimann, Dolan, Sigurdsson, Hedges and I guess Vale after that goal at Stockport. Even without Szmodics that is a bit of a selection headache for Eustace. Norwich defeat at Oxford wasn't just bad, they needed a completely different system of playing. I maybe wrong and get a nasty surprise but that didn't look fixable in four days on the training pitch. Watched extended highlights of their 4-3 win against Stevenage and read comments. Could transpose this website to Norwich or their website to Rovers - terrible owners, no transfer budget, transfer fees pocketed, horrendous defending of corners. Chuck in extreme division about their manager and some injuries. Doing an Oxford and preventing/disrupting Norwich's flowing pretty game is key. Do that and it will come down to cock-ups at corners to decide it with a bonus of Norwich naive static defending in open play perhaps tipping it our way?
  21. It has taken Ipswich 6 weeks of low balling us to reach 9+2. Make that 9+1 because no way are they staying up, Szmodics regardless. Not as pit of the stomach worried as I was when the first Ipswich offer was made. Gueye, Ohashi and Weinmann have chipped in with 5 goals between them this week so there are still goals in the team. Like everyone else I want a keeper and a rapid winger. 3 high quality loans from the PL wouldn't go amiss either.
  22. Crikey League 2 has aged Bradley terribly. Anything is possible with Waggott etc but I am.not buying the cobblers being written on here about broken verbal agreements and Ipswich shifting their blame onto us about their parsimony in signing a PL bench warmer from us. Plenty of case law that holds a verbal/handshake agreement as a binding contract so if Szmodics' agent is anyone better than just a guy he met in the pub, he would have Rovers in a triple nelson foe breaking their word.
