Gutted for the lad but of course, a rare ray of sunshine for us.

Manchester United at Ewood please

Yet again, you are talking about 7 or 8 signings in January. Is that really ideal? No. You want to add 3 or 4 new players. Gestede signings? Do we know this has a fact then? Should work out and some wont. Ismael push for some and im sure other people did

Dont need to justify anything to anyone

Obviously what I think we need is not what we will get it. It never is. But the change of formation, gaps in summer recruitment and a number of Gestede signings being incapable of even to contribute as squad players means that the squad needs a lot of work doing to it. Its little surprise we arent far from the bottom 3 and once the squad is tested further it will likely get worse.

It certainly got stuck.

Ball number 5

I take it you weren’t “ entertained “ then ? Chaddy and Gav will be along shortly to tell us how we don’t understand modern Test Match cricket !

So free, out of principal and understanding the fans. Will never happen with this lot. Take everything from us and give us fevk all in return I don't know why we bother

3 or 4 signings in January is what we need. Not what you are after which is around double that. Mentioned the right wing back position first on here as January addition You arent going to get rid of new signings after 6 months. Time to judge is the summer and whether to keep or sell not now. Knows Ismael from Barnsley days. Could be low cost signing if he can stay fit.

In fairness, I don't remember anyone being unfairly critical of him. He's just made proportionately huge - costly - mistakes in important games for us, pointing to a lack of general competence as a number 1 goalkeeper at this level. Just take the single error against Sheffield at home last/previous season in isolation; no professional GK should be making that mistake. And he's rightly criticised for that.

Aye, also 5 min down the road I knew yesterday morning it's wasn't gonna be happening for us down there

Yeah I know, I was being facetious because he's about 108 now. I wouldnt be surprised by someone cheap of that ilk as a short term stop gap though.

Had a yellow 'severe' weather warning earlier today, for Tuesday (I live within a mile of Ewood). The club can't say they weren't forewarned, absolutely no excuses.

The reaction will be 'but Suhail said it needn't cost any money because we are getting 2 games income for every one match now'.

He's trying to justify his original opinion that the Ipswich game should have finished and his attributing of the blame on the ref and Mckenna despite clearly being wrong. Especially in the light of the latest postponement.

Whoosh!!!!!!!!!

When this Oxford team rocks up to Ewood instead ...

We need far more than that. A Tronstad replacment 6 months in advance is not as important as other positions. We have no depth at right wing back, or at left wing back. We are 2 strikers short too. But we really need to properly bolster centre back aswell. Plus there are hangers on including Gueye but also De Neve, Henriksson and Tavares amongst others that should be shifted as soon as we can convince a gullible team to take them. None of them are useful in any way. Andersen would be good company for Carter in the physio room. I dont think the issue is confidence. The issue is a total lack of ability and effort. That West Brom game is very much a one off. Hes not good at anything.

I have given my opinion on the pitch yesterday post match.

at Chesterfield in League 2, with Fleck & Markanday

Along with new owners, CEO, Director of Football, Head Coach and at least half a squad. Apart from that - it's all good.

Anything official from the club yet on the postponement, the pitch etc? Nothing yet from the Head of Operations, Head Coach, Head of Football Operations, Head of Football Administration, Chief Operating Officer, Head of Media and Communications and Chief Executive Officer – oh, no, not the last one, we haven’t got one.

I'll trudge down LBR as usual. But such is my peed-off-ness over yesterday, I really don't care much if we win, lose, or draw
