Ismael in his preview to WBA said they were being Cautious over Cantwell injury and he will be back next week. I don't see Cantwell leaving this season and I think Ismael actually see him as key player for this team. On the Travis situation, Ismael made very clear that Travis has been offered a new contract here as he said post Stanley friendly game. Would it surprise if he left before end of the window, no it wouldn't It would zero surprise to see Pears and Buckley to leave. The writing has been on the wall for Buckley for the last 2 seasons. He needs regular first team football. If Pears isn't first choice then I always thought he would look to move on. We always have players who can play a couple of positions during a season like Henning Berg or Paul Warhurst or Lucas Neill. To be honest I actually think its makes perfect sense to have 1 or 2 players within your squad who can play a couple of positions. I don't see what your problem actually is.

Mate I've already thought about just taking a bowser from work down there and starting

Can I start on Monday ?

Could imagine "as its 150years since the beginning of the world's Greatest Town Team, I sentence you to 15 years community service, starting with jet washing the outside of Ewood park, painting the railing and paying for the gable ends to have a Shearer montage and a jack walker montage"

I've missed these 😆😀😀

Perhaps the court case will become part of the 150 years celebrations !

If it is a hard reset I still don’t understand why cantwell would be one to leave he’s only been here a year

The irregular channels are not listing it at the moment so your best bet is the 11 quid pass on Rovers TV which will be available to international viewers

Fair play mate happy 60th season let's bag a win today eh 👏

For reasons unknown, 0-2 this afternoon.

I just look at who is the keeper and breathe a sigh of relief.

Ipswich wasn't at their best and they need some quality signings but Szmodics should have scored with that chance first half. Birmingham were expected what I expect given we witness this last season But its great that proper football is back now.

I am looking forward to the season and I'm excited for the new season and seeing what it brings. Ismael has a clear idea what he wants from his squad, how he wants us to play and how he see this team going. I hope everyone travelling to the Hawthorns, Rovers produce a result they can be proud off and we can get a positive result. COYB!!! 🔵⚪

More an impact player as said below I'm not sure he can keep up that pace for a full 90 and can take advantage of tired defenders later on in the game

Impact player for sure. I think it was highlighted in one of the pods. He could either be used to scare defenders from the off or to take advantage of tired legs later on in the game. Personally I'd like to see him come on later in the game and switch the momentum up a bit.

Found it!! 2021 - how time flies.

I'm in Tenerife, does anybody have any other streams that may work? Open for an inbox.

2 regular English starters is my guess. At least until Travis and Cantwell leave

That’s ok as long as it works. We’ve needed a culture change down at Ewood for years. The stats regarding games lost once we’ve gone behind speak for themselves. As do the stats regarding mid week away games lost. We’ve developed a losing mentality than needs driving out of the club.

It wouldn't surprise me if Google had tried to use AI to sort/order/categorize something, at it got itself mixed up and combined our Rovers, with these lot somehow

Reminder the opening weekend games are all live on the Sky Sports App, and Rovers are live on Sky channel 404.

It could be case of hard reset. Set new culture completely, philosophy and replace majority of squad with an unbiased approach. There have been that many changes across staff, management etc , that its likely to be a clearing of the deck chairs, new start on playing side.

When I first started watching we’d 4 out of the 5 starting forwards that were born in Blackburn. Ratcliffe, Pickering, Byrom and Dougie. Now the way we are going we’ll be struggling to have 4 English players in the team !
