Its obviously not cut and dry and there are other factors but I dont think its coincidental that our results with Ohashi up top were far, far better than with Gueye. He was unplayable against West Brom which is the game people often refer back to but most of his performances ranged from ineffective to liability. Also, he scored only 6 goals hence why people always say "goal contributions." They dont use that term when an out and out striker has a reasonable goal tally, they might for a winger or an attacking midfielder but Gueye doesnt score very often so they pad it out with his assists which include miss kicks in front of an open net and a header leading to a 30 yard goal of the season. He has useful attributes notably heading but IMO he is not up to the standard we need. But as importantly if not moreso, he requires a total tactical change if he starts, he doesnt suit the rest of the team. If Ohashi isnt playing, we should have someone who is competing who isnt totally different. -

It's absolutely inexcusable to not renew these contracts earlier. - Yesterday

If it's a statement that's come from the club then it should automatically be treated as lies. -

I don't see why kits need to be changed every year. They never used to be. Anything to keep the sham going I suppose, regardless of the toxic holocaust it reaps upon the earth. -

I think Jackson's demeanour changed when the LT let him go to Spain to cover the two friendlies - think you are spot on, Rovers lured him in and played / play him like a fiddle. -

According to Jackson at the Lancashire Venkygraph Rovers have been 'backed into a corner' on the Brittain situation and therefore need to sell him. Maybe he needs reminding of the Venkygraph's own quotes in an article penned by him on 19th April 2025: "I think there are other people that need to have the conversation before me," he laughed when faced with the obvious question. "I'm really enjoying my time here. I've loved every minute. The people around the place are amazing. I love my teammates. Like you said, I've worked with the manager before, so I'm happy. "This manager knows that I've got a lot of energy and up and down and knows that I can cross the ball. So, as long as we're getting in the right areas and I can try and keep my confidence up, then yes, I'm happy. "There have been no talks yet. That's all I can really say about it at the moment. I'm happy here." That's a strange way of a club being backed into a corner. Rather it reads to me as though the player has been backed into a corner by the club, and forced to seek a deal elsewhere after radio silence from Rovers. Surely not? Oh actually yes, we've had the exact same with multiple other important players. Jackson seems to have been played like a fiddle by the Rovers Regime, doing their dirty work espousing a narrative that simply isn't true. He probably doesn't know that he's been played, a bit like Nixon probably doesn't care as long as it continues to get clicks and pays the bills. They're being used by the corrupt atrocious regime that controls BRFC. I pity anyone who believes it. -

Mate, you yourself say that points won with a particular player in the team is bollocks. And you know it is. So this is null and void -

Iβm not confident in Rovers ability to get a better striker, but if a club can offer us a fee, thatβs more than Gueyeβs value, we should take it. He definitely offers something different compared to other attackers that we have, but I wouldnβt be gutted if we sold him for a decent fee. -

Gueye isnβt for everyone I def think heβs worth another go second season. Now used to the game the environment heβs likely a lot more settled. He doesnβt come across to be a player thatβs going to get 15-20goals but if his goal attributions hit around that with assists included heβs certainly a plan b option. Heβs obviously not in the mould of a szmodics or an Armstrong or even a Diaz but their first seasons goal wise were poor for us and just improved. Doesnβt mean gueyes will but thereβs hope/history of it -
That was poor poor stuff from Duckett. What an idiot.

I wouldn't complain if he took us up but I'm not expecting it! What's the chances of us getting a better striker do you think? Best hope would be another loan. -

Would be a disaster to sell Gueye now and be chasing around trying to find a striker this late in the window. Gueye is no worldbeater but to leave us with Leonard ( who is not going to score many or make any other worthwhile contribution) and Ohashi would be suicide. We struggle to score enough goals anyway. Have we actually got anyone who isn't for sale? -

Polky replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Youβre right to be fair, unplayable at times (WBA away) but also shite at other times as well. Heβs a unit and needs balls into the box to thrive. Itβs clear that Val doesnβt fancy him as his first choice striker though. In the last 5 champ games he only played 70 mins. If we sell Gueye and get a better striker than Yuki that plays the way Val wants, I wouldnβt complain. -

Blackpool nearer to his home. -
The National League teams play second strings, if the cup was not odd enough. With no relegation from PL2 and other dubious cup competitions (there's the European one Rovers entered where the U21s seem to play U18s from Spain etc) the whole system looks a mess.

I never said that we need a new third choice keeper. I said the other day that we dont. Im contesting you adding it to this number you are using to prove that after only 3 more signings, we are well covered. I disagree, those numbers include injury prone players, players who shouldnt be starting, young lads who we dont know how many games their bodies can handle. I think we need more than 3, both in terms of quality and quantity to sufficiently cover all areas. -

Some folk get quite myopic when reading the facts about Blackburn Rovers over these past umpteen years the morons of Pune have held the title deeds to Ewood Park....Other folk just don't pay attention. Some of us are so inured to the drivel that is drip fed from the local press, the dwindling number of ITK and the remaining faithful who just hope the nightmare ends soon, that we take everything with a pinch of salt until there is an actual picture of someone holding the shirt in front of the Senior training facility (although even that has been an unreliable indicator of an actual signing in recent years..). Let the Facts speak for themselves. I'm not anticipating any kind of long list of facts to pore over, to be fair... VENKYS OUT!! CLUB WRECKING MORONS! -
