Yep I think so. Jorgensen and Cleary either side of Gudjohnsen would suggest going to a 4231 or if they want to keep 3 at the back a 343. Not that it's going to happen though.

Actions speak louder than words and their actions suggest you are entirely correct. If this was the first time they had been down this road you might be able to forgive it and give them the benefit of the doubt - misguided, badly advised, not understanding the nature of the beast of the Championship and the inevitable consequence of radical cost cuts. But they've done it all before, so unless they all have complete amnesia they will remember what happens when you do this. Yet they carry on with it.

You would assume there's been encouragement from the player that he would come here if a fee can be agreed, otherwise why push ahead with another offer. Then again, we're not a normal club. But I don't expect us to agree a fee anyway and, even if we do, someone else will match it and he'll choose them over us.

You've asked the same question before and I answered it at the time. From the same people who provide the transfer rumours normally. You seem quite happy to believe them when it suits, for example if it's reported we've spent £3m on a player.

These days, when clubs and managers talk about a “striker”, do they just mean anyone who can play anywhere across the front line, whatever the system? It feels like that must be what they mean now, because Cleary isn’t someone I’d describe as a striker, neither is Jorgensen. The term seems to have drifted from “proper number 9” to “forward” and it makes it hard to know what role they’re actually recruiting for.

Don't think it's any doubt that our interest is true. They won't get it over the line though because they won't pay what Barnsley want.

Hard to argue against that isn't it when you consider what they did to Eustace and the experienced players, failing to give them any assurances on their futures and replacing them with Ismael and assorted Eurotrash. The vast majority of us knew how it would turn out and so it's proving.

U21s team for this afternoons game with Birmingham Of the starting 11, only Vare (who has been named on the first team bench) & Houghton have never featured for our first team, which may be some sort of record for us? There is also a game v Preston tomorrow afternoon which will probably see a younger team

Two of our lads in Talent Hunter Team of the week. I thought the lad Schaper had moved to Chelsea? Obviously still here

Personally I think that's a bit harsh. I don't mind nipping over to the other forum to discuss the pro's and cons of anything or anyone doing the same over here as long as any live debate takes place in a reasonably respectful manner.

Jackson reckons we are pressing ahead with our interest in Cleary at Barnsley. Let's hope this one is actually true!

That's it in a nutshell isn't it. Not going to call anyone "clappers" or anything like that but some supporters actually seem to be citing the fact that only 6.5 k home fans turned up is some sort of failure on behalf of the protest organisers! As if home crowds of that level are acceptable in general! It's beyond bizarre. Anyhow, Im eager to hear what the next protest initiative will be and if it involves turning up at a match Im in. Really, different sorts of protest should already have been organised for each of the next two home games. The pressure needs to be kept up now and constant imo.

This has season has been a carbon copy. Its relegation by design, to once again reduce costs and investments. Relegation is what they want.

I think it's only Leicester that probably had more points than us when they sacked their manager.

Plaster the Preston ownership news on any poster putting 'But who would really want to buy us....'

Done it. Good luck to your lad 🤞

I think just to be really clear and in the interests of consistency- slagging off this forum on another forum, where members here don't have a right to reply- will lead to a ban from here. We did it before with a poster who screen grabbed posts from here and slagged them off on Twitter and we can do it again.

Best way of protest is not a buying season ticket!

Thankfully, still in warmer climes , so do not have to watch the least talented Rovers squad in 57 years of going on Ewood ! Cannot see us winning, a point at best !

Very true but our Premier League relegation was far worse !

Careful mate, they'll start calling you a far leftie for having a differing view!

Stop being reasonable and grown up. Never going to catch on.

Thought his post in reply to mine yesterday was a very fair and reasonable one, but if that is the case then that's just...well....pathetic.
