We needed more scoring from the wingers and 10 role already. Weiman, Dolan, ACD werent exactly prolific scorers either. I’d bet Mioshi, De Neve, kargbo could match the output we got last season. I’d hope Cantwell is better band think starting with Ribeiro vs Pickering is an upgrade from last years start. Brittian obviously a big loss. I would say we’re worse off than a year ago but I don’t think it’s a huge difference from the start 12 months ago. Where we will be worse is service from our right back position and without Batth the defensive back line. Point is we’re not really any worse up front, but we were very good to begin with. Weimann and Dolan both had 7 a piece but anyone watching them play last year would feel that number was well below what you’d expect. one thing for sure, we cannot expect Hedges to contribute to the attack so without a quality right winger we are significantly worse off than before.

Who says they want his wages off the books?

Ismael post Stanley game said Travis and Tronstad both offered new contract by Rovers https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/25310915.blackburn-rovers-boss-hint-travis-tronstad-contracts/ Travis last comment on contract was March https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/25026507.travis-contract-latest-blackburn-landscape-new-deals/

To be fair he did, exactly same spot, keeper goes the right way and could have thrown his cap on it !

If his agent has said to Blackburn that he wants 20.000(?) a week X amount of years and the club has communicated that 15.000(?) and X amount of years is the most Blackburn can pay... Then he would not have received a contract offer.

When was the last time a club got promoted by only signing cheap players? Genuine question.

Usual shite referee. Bookings for fun in the first half, and then in the second half when he was losing control cards kept in the topic for things three times worse. At the end his decisions were laughably predictable.

nice to see seasons come and seasons go but you can always depend on the refs being poor.

In April he did yes….where has he said it after April?

Not according to the player he hasn't. Which would tally with the woeful record we have had on all renewals, and also what Brittain and Tronstad also said recently. Why would the club make him an offer if they want his wages off the books and a cheaper alternative in?

He has been offered a contract, for sure. A good contract? Valerien has said so, but again. I haven't seen the contract....

And Travis has said on more than one occasion he hasn't. Who to believe?

George Hirst mouthing "that's what I do " Actually George it really isn't . Been a poor game really, threatening to boil over a few times

Yes he has unless Val has now become a liar he stated after the Accrington game offers are on the table

Diangana got lazy at WBA no?

Still one of the lowest wage bills in the Championship. Crap and average players are on a fortune these days, pisses me off

Why the EFF didn’t Hirst do like that away at Cardiff? 😡

It’s not up to him or us it’s the clowns upstairs who are not offering him a contract VO

And after all that, Hirst can take a penalty! Not sure i agree it should have been given in the first place mind you.

Grady Diangana for right wing and Matt Ryan goalkeeper both on a free. Would solve some of our problems?

He hasn't been offered a new contract.

If Travis wants to go to Derby, then be my guest. He is a very limited player. Good at what he's offering. Shithousery and in transitions. It is always difficult when you dont't know what's coming next. But this summer we have spent some money on transfers....Will we get the money from said transfer to spend???? If it is the right players coming in or if they will flop. GOD knows. If Travis dont want to sign a contract. Ship him out. Not to bothered.

George Hirst doesn't look like he's improved very much from the time he was shite here. I know it's only the first game but he doesn't look like a prem player from the season before to me

Something stinks with our wage bill. We have spent the last few years trimming the squad of players and anyone on a high wage. It makes no sense for this not to have come down by millions.

Agree Exiled. Everything went in.
