Sure a couple of decent challenges and attempts but it was definitely below quality from last year and the year before we have had some serious downgrades Agree though- let’s see how it unfolds in the next couple of weeks and September when the window closes and we will see who is left too

100% it’s a joke everyone shouted Pen we all know it’s a Pen so frustrating

Self-explanatory…

We'll struggle because we haven't invested in the squad in 3 years. Sir Alex Ferguson would have a job on his hands here.

My main concern was we would come out and all the signings would be well off it and we would get steam rollered... Turned out that we were pretty physically competitive at least. McCloughlin, Alebiouso and Miller all looked up to it. That said going forward we looked totally toothless except for Alebiouso on the overlap and Kargbo when he came on. Also all of Henricksson, De Neve and Tavares looked very poor. The rest of games in August will give us more of a sense on where we are.

Let's not give Tronstadt to much stick, gave it 100% for Rovers last season.

I am hoping for my sanity that Toth doesn't line down in the centre of his goal for any more 45 yard free kicks, to let the ball hit him in the hope it goes over the bar. Nothing in attack as expected, their keeper barely made a save. Early days but quite alarming to see where goals come from.

I don't think anyone blames them for wanting out, fans just don't want to see half hearted performances because they don't want to be there anymore, whatever the reason might be. I think that's pretty fair.

I would give the strike force 2.5, non existent.

Just back. I know it’s the first game of the season, but that was terrible. Didn’t offer anything upfront today. It’s going to be a long season. We need a forward.

He wouldnt. So cant be.

Miller could be a secret weapon with his long throw.

Can't remember a long throw in player at Ewood before, we've played against a few, that set alarm bells ringing.

Bradford up on Tuesday... Perhaps not a time to shuffle the pack as with so many new faces perhaps the greater need is to more time for them to gel?

As surely does saying if we had got the penalty we would have got at least a point. We might have missed it or they might have started attacking again.

As I said earlier, I didn't see the first 30 minutes so I can't comment on that. As I also said before, it's irrelevant what Travis did to the goalscorer because Alebiosu was fouled first, and the goal went in anyway. No, it's just his fault he gave a goal that shouldn't have stood and failed to give us a clear penalty.

He's a bit more skill and a few goals hiding away at times.

I am sorry - if he had picked up a yellow for his first challenge, I would hope he would have reined it in a little. So to say he would have been sent off with a better referee does ignore cause and effect.

Hope you had a tub full of that delicious tamarind sauce. Always a pleasure to go to WBA away, just for that place

Impressive result for Bristol City at Sheffield United. Wonder if canning a proven promotion challenger / winner in Wilder and going for Ruben Selles was a good idea. Early days yet I suppose. Could just have been one of those opening day freak results.

I'm expecting a lock down , the corridors have awoken, some significant traction the last 48 hours. The heat well and truly back on. Just when they thought they were sitting comfortably!!! The ghost come back for one last scare 😱

Sebastian Tounekti the random winger? Being reported in the Norwegian press. Seems another random gamble, not sure he qualifies for a WP

Million percent this , This new narrative its all the players fault for wanting to exit on masse is unbelievable. Staff , players, managers the exits this last 12 months is not about a few quid here and there. Even Val looked a bit peed today.

He might as well have been

Wonder if Suhail is just on a full on vengeance war path, the fans hate him, ramping up the pressure on him, pushing him to the brink of being removed. His response, just sell all of our better players as a final fuck you, before he's canned.
