What stuck me about the Man United win was just how pedestrian the two City full backs were. City were wide open at the back because those two CMs masquerading as FBs got absolutely rinsed time and again.

Recall the JW trust decided to sell the club because they felt the finances meant they were reliant on player sales to fund operations. Venkys were selected as they had the pockets to fund player acquisitions without relying on the sale of players…hard to see how we’d be worse off if the JW Trust had not sold. The club under the trust may not have had the funds for investment but player sales were reinvested and the back office was a functioning group of competent personnel. We now sell players without reinvestment, and have a toxic culture run by corrupt buffoons. For those who believe the Venky have saved our club should consider how efficient we were prior to their “stewardship”

Seen something mentioned about Dominic Ballard at Leyton Orient. Could be worth looking into?

Well there's not many worth anything but Alebiosu comes to mind. German club reportedly after him.

He’s worse than Coyle, at least his kamikaze football was mildly entertaining at times. Not only are we crap, we’re turgid to boot

I think she just didn’t realise how much she knew until she wrote it down 😅

but he hasn't had a full game in 6 weeks.

Ah, but can Jørgensen run 15k?

If Alebiouso is back thats absolutely massive. Hope he makes it.

3 at the back never works for us, many managers have tried it in the past, it may be effective for the odd game here and there just to change things up a bit when necessary... But we're a traditional 4 at the back club simple as that, we've gone so far backwards tactically since ismael took charge its ridiculous and he's clearly to lost up his own arse to revert back to a simple back four Easily the Worst manager since Coyle.

Probably wanted to get in the team, their main striker has like 20 goals in each of the last two seasons

Nostalgia of sorts. Someone on Facebook is selling their Grandad’s Subbuteo set. It is a replica of Ewood Park and he wants it to go to a good home. Thought I would share https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1Cy3eHkwzb/?mibextid=wwXIfr

I wasn't expecting WBA to be in the relegation mix, but they're now only four points from the drop zone. Their new manager only has a couple of years first team head coach/manager experience in the MLS, too, so no guarantee that he can turn it around. I don't expect they will go down, but it's a somewhat risky appointment for a club in their position.

If he wasn't committing fouls you'd forget he was playing at all.

I think it's been taken a bit too literally given Baradji hadn't played for months, hopefully he's up and running straight away.

I was quite clearly referring to the quotes comparing his situation to Baradji.

He signed on Friday and played half a game on Saturday, how ready do you want him to be? Don't think there's much to worry about here to be honest.

In homage to our owners I’d go 6-6-6.

He'll only be looking at players that his agency pals will send his way.

They would do when they've never even come close. And more than likely never will.

I would expect media to put high pressure on the club to at least get rid of VI and also continuously highlight the long list of troubles regarding Venkys. I'm surprised that Elliot Jackson, a young journo early in his career, seems so alone in reporting on Rovers. Perhaps it's due to the high numbers of clubs around Lancashire?

Depends. With Pears in goal I would opt for a safer system. 5-5-5.

There cannot be many Rovers fans who have not missed a season since WW2, if any others, so GHD, I salute you. My journey has been rather shorter, in I think 69/70. But my grandfather, who took me to Ewood, could remember our FA Cup win in 1928. My great-grandfather on my mum's side was also a watching fan, so I guess my family support might stretch into the C19th. I have something to say, but I'd like to do a good job, worth of this thread. Best all.
