Ismael has said that players were signed to play 4-2-3-1 formation in the summer, but results meant Ismael switch formation in order to pick up results and we are now winning games. The squad does need to re-justify in order to have another centre back option, back up for Alebiosu, and at least 1 more striker in the January. Players like Pickering and Ribeiro will probably leave either in the January window or next summer due to not playing and we aren't playing with left back. Gueye will leave due to not playing and Ismael not rating him We can't be signing 7 or 8 new players in January like you might want. We need to add 2 or 3 quality players in January that can help the team quickly. Priority should be right footed centre back, back up for Alebiosu and another striker? do you agree?

Players clearly playing for him. I don't like his apparent collusion with awful transfer decisions. You might say he has no choice, but I think it insults our intelligence.

Always plenty of managers interested in Championship jobs (especially at a pretty unique one where they don’t do sackings).

That's a shame 😂😂

Scratch that. Derby losing now!

What a week-end Rovers win, dingles drop into the relegation positions, Liverpool stuffed at home.

Liverpool losing 3 nil to Forest at Anfield

The very same happened in the 70s, Mounted police charging into us

Bet this wouldn't be on page 2 if we'd lost. Anybody willing to change their opinion on him? He's doing a great job for me, fully expected this team to be relegated after a chaotic summer. I think we'd be screwed if he left, not many managers would want this job right now.

Derby winning again, into the top 6 they are at the moment. Not deal that Portsmouth are winning, equally so Oxford drawing with Boro currently. Norwich getting smashed at Brum.

I wasn't aware that they were there last night but I know they attended the Burnley game at Ewood last season. The backstory, from what I hear is...a group of Zwolle ultras have formed a friendship with a group of Rovers fans who call themselves "Blackburn Youth". The latter have been over to Holland to watch Zwolle with their new Dutch pals and vice versa. It seems like the Zwolle fans might be picking the Burnley and Preston games to attend as they expect things to 'get tasty'. It's not like that in reality though, which is obviously a good thing. Below is footage from this linkup at Ewood last season, when the Zwolle fans were in the corner of the Riverside near the Darwen End. I can see why the police were wary last night:

I think it’s more to do with the fact that contracted players can only be signed in the transfer windows nowadays. Back in 1993, David Batty signed on October 26 and played on October 30. Colin Hendry, if I recall correctly made his debut on the day he signed.

Was worried about him in this game but he did great and was well covered as well to be fair. Needs to be kept involved now because we'll need a natural replacement in the squad for whichever of Wharton or Carter is moved on in summer. Still need to sign another experienced CB though.

A good summation. PNE should have had at least 1 sent off. Their number 10 really should have gone late on for a studs up challenge on I can't remember who's calf. Pears is still Pears. Toth being out is not good.

Easier job for them, leave them to kick each other to death.

Ismael states in the LT, he won't be frightened playing youth from the academy. Look what happens when you do, Pratt had the game of his life against Preston. Well done Valerian Ismael, Fergie 2 in the making.

Seen a few Preston fans saying there was a mass brawl on Moor Park afterwards and moaning about the police diverting fans into each others paths.

I believe WATR have a 135/15 leaflet they produce a few weeks back.

True but he was also a lazy little barsteward who probably became a millionaire overnight with his vastly elevated move here. Wasn't prepared to do the graft.

I never felt more like singing the Blues, The Rover win, the burnley lose, Oh Rovers, you’ve got me singing the Blues.

3-2 Coventry now. WBA had a man sent off which completely turned the game on its head.

They have goal line technology in this league so it was never in doubt. We beat them back in January too.

7 games before Christmas, 5 of them at home - not sure if that’s a good thing this season 😂 5 of the 7 are also bottom half sides, 4 of them below us in the table - again not sure if that’s a good thing this season!! Either way, I think it’ll be an interesting month for us, we have a really good chance to push on to the edge of the playoffs - we’d be set in 11th if the Ipswich result held, and beaten all 3 relegated teams. 7 games in 22 days though including yesterday, the squad can’t take many more injuries!

I think you are being a bit hard on Jackson. He has been critical of the right things in my view-certainly over the last year or so.. I think it was Gallacher's "hindsight" comment that got to me. Let's be honest. You didn't need to have been a Scottish Nostradamus to have predicted SW and HC's absence! Suhail and Gestede are getting away with murder, as well as their gaslighting. Do they think we are all f**** stupid?!

we`ve let duru to go and play in the sunshine,no idea what that idea is about
