The Jam - Away From the Numbers Weller was just 18 when he wrote this song!!

Don't count towards the 8 in the 25, but would for the 7 needed in a match day squad I presume? Goddard could be added to that too? (Not the 25 man squad)

No surprise to see Kean and his dad defending him because he sure as hell couldn't defend himself.

8 of the squad of 25 need to be home gown, if you only have 7, then can only name a squad of 24, , only 6, squad is 23 etc etc Tyjon & Michalski & Montgomery don't count towards the 25 Tavares might do since he was over here from the age of 1 until his teens so we either have 7 or 8 home grown depending upon if Tavares counts

If we do turn Hyam over I wonder if we go back in for Isherwood. Big, cheap, GBE free and having a good season based on Google

Cloud cuckoo land

Lovely goalkeeping from one of our coaches yesterday 🙈

7 need naming in each match day squad. Lots have left from last season, only Alebiosu and Tavares have been bought in (+ the academy ‘promotions’).

I think he will definitely be a fans favourite, seems like a lovely lad.

At least 7 home‑grown players must be named in your matchday squad. Is what I am seeing

When did bringing in players for competition (as against to improve the team) become a thing?

Didn't realise that the new lad already knew Yuri as well as Yuki. Played together at Legia Warsaw

How many do we need? Hedges, Hyam, Wharton, Carter Alebiosu, Pickering, Montgomery, GK, Cantwell, Tyjon...

Looking at Eustaces recruiting this summer it isnt Shocking. Its his type.

We've brought in far more than £7.5m and absolutely slashed the wage bill. So no we're not spending money - we'll be in the black when this window closes.

For the more knowledgeable out there, are we at risk of not hitting our home-grown quotas? A lot of foreign players at the moment coming in, what is the championship rules?

Got to sign another CF and CM first - easier said than done with this lot.

If I remember rightly, it was the fans fault for hounding him out, at least that is what his Dad said. https://thespoiler.co.uk/blackburn-defend-position-curious-case-myles-anderson/

Dennis, Woodrow, Forshaw, I was thinking. Shocking business for a team looking to bolster promotion aspirations. Hardly, the cavalry arriving!

I think you're giving them too much credit. They want players that are cheap and managers that are willing to work under the skinflint structure. We aren't set up to push on from a position of strength, only to tread water. Close to the play offs last season? Let's sell the players that got us there. Close to the play offs before that? The aim for the next season? Avoid relegation. I really hope these players turn out to be class and better than those they've replaced, but even if they are, we'll just sell them and then start again. If we aren't giving it our all to get promoted all the time, what's the point?

when not if, I like your confidence.

What if the rabbit needs an ESC place? 🤔

What recruits? Kargbo?

My thinking is if the error by the ref is only picked up at slow motion how can it have been a clear and obvious one?

He seems to be involved in some sort of counselling programmes for players who have fallen on hard times. A sort of situation, where players for example have been involved with premier league teams, but then been let go and tumbled down the rankings and found themselves totally out of football, or at teams a lot further down the pyramid. I remember his Dad saying he was good enough for most premier league teams, other than the top four, so maybe that has stood him in good stead, for his current role.
