re: Tuchel, it's frustrating, but he picked him last time and he withdrew with an injury. I suspect this time, it's a case of player/club asking not to pick him, so he can recover fully with a break. I'd be amazed if he didn't pick Wharton in the team, let alone the squad once we he's fully fit.

Feelings of our last game at sheff United. Biggish occasion. Going for an optimistic draw

Why is it ‘embarrassing’ to think we’ll go down?

It was obvious looking at him in the u21s he was special and only a matter of time before he got his chance in the 1st team. Had that great debut at Blackpool with Don Goodman singing his praises, but did occasionally get caught in possession due to the difference in speed at 1st team football in a few games. However, he soon learned, and would zip the ball off quicker and so rarely now gets caught out. Just a top top player that I love watching, and not just because of his Rovers roots

You dont have to predict that theyll win every game to be a supporter. Thinking that they might struggle in or not win a game doesnt make you any less of a supporter.

They can get changed on the car park, they need to make sure they’ve paid though…

We seen plenty of these comments from you previously I don't agree with the Ref decision. Why would I back against my own club I support through the good and bad times? My support dont waive at all

Tavares looks like a tidy player on the ball but he's clearly used to a different pace. He's far too nonchalant and looks to be a victim of the youth academies mentality of "not worrying if you lose it when trying to play the right way" That luxury ends in senior football. Perhaps he needs reminding of it. There's a time and a place to be cute; there's a time and a place to play tight and safe. If Tavares can master that, then there's a decent player in there

Believe by our standards we spent 'decent' money on Tavares. So far proving to be what most expected, crap. This will not go down well with our resident dictators. Expect Gestede is fuming and currently thinking up an excuse/blaming the Telegraph and fans for being mean.

I like Ismael’s attitude there. At the least he tells it like it is.

Wait until Rudy and Suhail have a word.....

This tells me that Val isn't completely stupid then. I genuinely thought that Sid would have been in the side regardless to hopefully develop him and move him on.

The other issue with this is logistics. When the Derby game hits full time you can bet on it taking a good 15 minutes for the pitch to clear, all the staff to get out of the way, media/Sky gang out. Then all the Rovers and Derby players will need their post-match discussion, shower and change before leaving the stadium. Are they going to be doing all that whilst there's another game taking place outside? Where are the 'legends' and Old Etonians going to change? They won't be able to use the home or away dressing rooms until probably an hour after full time so are they going to be stuck in a cupboard or spare room somewhere? Access the pitch from round the back of the Riverside as the tunnel is off limits? Pretty sure there are rules in place with the EFL regarding who can access the tunnel area before/during/after a game and time limits for that so that could easily cause a problem All the while they are expecting good numbers of fans to sit in their seats and wait... I say these things because I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if nobody down there has even considered these issues and just thinks there will be 22 kitted out players stood waiting in the tunnel to run onto the pitch and kick off at full time.

He needs absolutely beasting on the training ground, misplaced passes can be forgiven but casualness can't. If him, Gudjonsson and Kargbo come good it'll shape our season but as it is we are paying the price of too many cheap imports replacing good solid experienced championship players. Not like it wasn't predicted or anything !

BRAG got Tugay and about 5K in the stands for a random match, I reckon there won’t be as many for this.

Matchday Nine Summarised Read the full article on the front page and let us know your thoughts.

There is an article on the LET today where Ismael basically says he hasn't been good enough so far and was dropped from the match day squad... https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/25517874.blackburn-rovers-boss-reveals-reason-tavares-absence/ You could add pretty much put all the signings in that bucket other than the defensive ones in my opinion.

Anyone else want him to go to Barcelona and not Real Madrid?

People's early assessment of him, at the moment, appear to be spot on.

Yep, you would think that they could repurpose the team sheet graphics template from the mens team, a picture of someone holding a scrappy bit of paper really is tinpot

sacking Sam Allardyce for Steve Kean beats all of those

?

Sunderland sacking Peter Reid for Howard Wilkinson Villa appointing Remi Garde Alex Mcleish swapping Birmingham for Viila Bolton appointing Sammy Lee as Sam Allardyce replacement Fulham appointing Felix Magath

If we get something out of this "I would love it."
