Who by about December didn't want to be here either.

Not that I am endorsing backing against the team but if you were a neutral gambler looking for value it's been a licence to print money backing us to lose recently. West Brom weren't far shy of evens, God knows what price Bradford were, Birmingham 13/10, Hull 11/10.

Id say so. No-one who wasn't "in on it" could surely be remotely happy with only adding a RW and (if he leaves) a Travis replacement to this squad.

On a similar note I was struck by the comments underneath Jackson's latest match report in the LT. I'd say the Club plants who post non stop on there all day out themselves in fairly obvious fashion as the ones arguing vehemently that no-one could possibly ever be interested in buying us. At worst - you dont know until you try. https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/25395788.blackburn-rovers-self-sabotage-typical-difficult-week/

Even they will know though that that was primarily because they retained all the big wage earners, and invested further in the squad, Dack/Armstrong etc. The exact opposite of what's happening now.

No point us going back and forwards going "Yes it was, no it wasn't" all afternoon. Maybe not at a normal Club but we have previous form for rarely if ever strengthening in the forward positions because those are the ones which cost the most money. With c 2 weeks to go until the end of the window do you now finally acknowledge the state of the squad is a matter for serious concern, or do you still think it's no reason to worry because there are another 2 weeks left and the Club will sort something.

The **** might hit the fan if/when we lose this one surely even the owners and management might sit up and take notice that we're rooted pointless to the bottom of the table after 3 games and just been beaten by a team under embargo.

Also we've bought in zero attacking players since you had a good at me for complaining about the lack of numbers and quality in that area. Just saying.

No. All he needs to say is "Vi gives an update on Rovers progress in the transfer market" And then let other people make their own mind up as to whether Vi is talking absolute tosh or not. Not "Vi gives his thoughts of Rovers progress in what has been a difficult and challenging market" implying that he agrees with him and everyone should feel sympathy.. Why do you keep defending him? Is he a mate of yours?

100% I do wish Jackson would stop writing spoon fed nonsense offered up to him by the Club. As I said last week - it really isn't helpful. "Strange" market indeed. Hmmmphh.

Am I imagining things but up to and including JDT, wasn't unleaded very supportive of the Head Coach and extremely anti the regime and very critical of the way the recruitment department operated ? (Which I agreed with) But ever since Eustace came in it seems that in unleaded's eyes, everything Eustace wanted to do was wrong and everything Gestede and Owen etc do or want to do is right? Very odd. I actually thought someone had hacked his account at first but he has a pretty unique posting style so it does actually appear it is the same person.

Exactly...and your point is? The difference between Brady and Wagner and us on the Mitrovic deal if it comes off is that they'll go and find extra investment or sponsorship to pay for or at least offset the cost of the deal. We just sit there going "What can we do?"

Good to hear from you bob, stick around we could do with some more gallows humour.

Yet in terms of actual wealth Venky's could probably put Brady and Wagner in their back pocket.

Thank God we've escaped signing all these duds thanks to our unwillingness to spend any money. In contrast to us just to show what an ambitious Club look like Birmingham are apparently hoping to add more firepower by bringing Mitrovic in. Stansfield/Mitrovic/Kyogo v Ohashi/Gueye/Hedges Hmmm...................

Im not a fan at all but I think it's 5 wins 2 draws and 7 losses.

Good point.

Scratch that, seems as though it was a "pre match kit" or something. What a joke. How many more ways will they think of to fleece the fans.

.......Although if it was one of our new players it'd be far too early to judge them!

Arsenal's new away strip -worst of all time? Also what's this new rule about not being allowed within 1m of the wall or something? Who thought that was a good idea? Ludicrous. Tampering with the rules for the sake of it and yet another excuse to chalk off perfectly good goals.

ManUre are seemingly testing out the waters via the media - saying they're weighing up whether or not to make a bid etc. Once upon a time that would have been deemed illegal tapping up. Really hope he doesn't go there. Even if it means we dont get a sell on.

Seriously.....who cares about Derby?

Thing that occurred to me was, even if you mess up the corner and'/or think it struck someone's arm, that shouldn't automatically mean you concede at the other end!

Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory was the phrase that occurred to me as well. If there were trophies handed out for that we'd win the quadruple every year. Look how many times we've failed to make the play offs when it seemed virtually impossible not to. We've a loser's mentality pervading every corner of the Club at every level. Imo the last time we had a winning mentality was under Mark Hughes. Ever since then the prevailing attitude has been to do the bare minimum or just enough.

Said in jest but actually a fair point - if anyone can rent it out, maybe a suitable protest message? The annoying thing is - Rovers probably have some sort of veto over what appears on that board so a protest message probably wouldn't be allowed whereas a sickly message saying how wonderful the opposing Club is, is apparently absolutely fine. Symbolises perfectly what a joke Club we have become.
