0 - 4 Brum. They won't even get out of 2nd gear.

Finernan not even in the Newcastle under 21 squad

Worrying for Rovers future - if there wasn't enough to be concerned about. That's our strong line-up; wait 'til players head out on the injury/loan carousel. Is Valentin Jospeh still around - he might improve the forward line?

Haven't they just signed Kone for a similar fee as well? Or is that the same deal? Either way we're getting left behind, even by run of the mill Clubs.

I see QPR have just paid £2.5m for a winger. No chance we'll ever pay them sort of fees. Can't even compete with QPR now.

I take it you don’t attend matches

Having never seen the man kick a ball, nor know anything about him beyond a cursory Google of 'fastest footballer' - I introduce to you Sirlord Conteh (great name). Plays both up front and on the right (big tick). No work permit required and only started 4 games for his club last year. He's Absolutely Rapid

Fair do's to him. He was unemployed and he's picked up a job with 3.5 years guaranteed wages. Results don't matter, if he does well he's worked an absolute miracle and if he doesn't then can he really be blamed completely? He's irrelevant. We could have Ancelotti in charge and it wouldn't make any difference. The club has been as clear as they can be, there is no ambition to get promoted back into the Premier League. I honestly don't care anymore. They've never seen a penny of my money and they never will. This situation is not unique to Rovers either, there needs to be fundamental changes to the way football clubs are owned. Until that is changed there will just be more of the same. Fuck it. Roll on league one.

It varies from player to player but I think there are certain occasions when you can be so definitive. Older supporters will remember strikers Dave Hargreaves and Paul Mckinnon coming in for trial games from Accrington Stanley and Sutton United respectively and looking completely out of their depth. Id seen enough of Grabbi after one game to conclude we'd been sold a complete dud at a vastly inflated price. I think I was 100% correct with that snap judgment but I got grief about it for ages because people didn't want to accept we'd been conned out of £7m. (How you doing USA? 🙂) For present purposes Im not sure who's said what about which player but I wouldn't be arguing with anyone who said De Neve or Montgomery were nowhere near the required standard. Tbh Henriksson could hardly have played worse so far either but he does appear to have a better pedigree so hopefully with him it's a case of settling in.

After seeing Henriksson's and Gueye's abysmal performances last night, I've now changed my mind regarding the lineup: Toth Alebiosu Miller McLoughlin Ribeiro Tavares Tronstad Kargbo Cantwell De Neve Ohashi My patience is wearing rather thin with Kargbo as well but I'm still convinced he'd be much more of a threat on the right hand side making runs on the outside of defenders instead and crossing with his favored right foot. We would also be able to create overloads on the right flank using the mobility from Alebiosu, Tavares and Kargbo.

sad to hear, I think someone did mention this. Hope he is well.

I picked the starting 11 I have, Hedges is our only right sided attacking player, had we signed Miyoshi last week or start of this then I would be starting for example. Alebiosu is unlucky not to be starting given his performance against WBA But I picked Miller. Wharton I would started at WBA. Yes McLoughlin didn't do anything wrong but I prefer Wharton. This is my starting line up not Ismael

Born and bred Rovers fan... and what the wretches, and the leeches they've brought into the club, have created over the last 15 years isn't Blackburn Rovers, its a pathetic husk of what we one were. So if losing brings on their demise - as they wont be fucking going anywhere if we finish mid table every fucking year for the next decade - then bring it the fuck on.

The disrespect to name Cantwell in the same sentence as Taraabt is quite something

Isn't a number 6 a central defender?

Yes in January

He doesn't. He gets banned also, I remember a few years back he was on a pretty lengthy one. There's no forum rules against talking complete brainless shit.

Nope

Watching the first half against Sheffield United, they'll bum us dry in the first half 😕 even if Kyogo misses as many as he has in the first 45 tonight. Jay Stanfield will be all around the world for this game.

Not sure why you’re even on this forum. Wanting the opposition to win. Call yourself a Rovers fan?

What is the situation with Leonard? Val doesn’t fancy him or are we nursing him to (hopefully) fitness after all the injuries. Someone mentioned non-football related issue which typically means money (ie clauses in contract)

Dennis has worked under VI before. Might be positive or negative

Think of the money being saved. Then it makes total sense.

Did you just get signal?

Davud lowe as been going through personal things last season - yet people thinking he is an insider yet got caretakers job - if he was the insider then wouldnt he of be ruled good enough to be the actual manager ???
