£32 for a senior in the Blackburn end if you pay on the day

Thanks, but...Yawn...! Not bothered what the sodding Rams are doing. Just interested in what Rovers are up to (if anything).

He did deserve to be treated like royalty though, to be fair 🤴

£35 to £37 (or £38 to £40 if you actually had the temerity of buying it from the ticket office) for a second division game, against Birmingham.

I really like him, a few question marks on his decision making/final ball but let's be honest, if he had that polished he'd be playing at a higher level. His pace and directness is so refreshing, if we can keep him fit he'll cause issues this year, then it'll be a task keeping hold of him.

Probably been mentioned already but just in case it hasn’t, new fitness and strength coach in from Watford. Replacing Hodges, who of course has gone to Eustace and Derby. Come on John, it really is getting beyond a joke now 😡

Agree. Posted last night that my first impressions were that he was raw and clumsy.

I would say we're currently weaker than our squad last season, but not significantly (yet!). The 'bigger' deals tend to be done towards the end of the window when the better loans become available and prices drop for the better players. So many unknowns yet, but Brittain will almost certainly leave and prob Trav too. That makes us significantly weaker than last season. Can we compensate that by being stronger in attacking positions? We need two attacking additions - RW and ST. The attacking players generally make or break your season. I do like the look of Kargbo and Tyjon. Think they'll add a lot to the attack next season. Ohashi could easily bag 15+ goals.

Spot on.

When can we stop calling Kargbo raw? Bloody brllliant is what he is.

Follows the same pattern as every window in recent times. Nobody has been bought that's any better than what we have and to impact the first 11. Just squad fillers & downgrades. McLoughlin might be better than Wharton, although I think they will end up being very similar.

I think its pretty normal for away fans to be banned in Holland pre season, and other European countries too. They just expect large groups going on the piss causing aggro and its an unwanted expense policing it.

So you do still think about me. I'm flattered. That calls for another drink

Can anyone honestly say its been a good window so far? I can't

I had to wind my neck in last night as I was sounding like me dad.... But I do agree in some respects on the current music scene, or the music scene for the past 20yrs, its been pretty poor in my opinion, with as you say some notable exceptions. I've always been into music, I listen to plenty of radio and have a few musicians in bands in the family, but its a struggle to find anything that stirs the interest these days if I'm honest. As for Oasis, seen them plenty of times, wasn't overly bothered about seeing them again, but the way they've captured this new generation has been phenominal. Got The Libertines, Magic Numbers, Oasis, Paul Heaton, Bob Dylan, Pulp and John Grant gigs coming up, so its a busy summer. I'm even considering going to watch Andre Rieu and The Johann Strauss Orchestra!

Have to agree. Far to expensive.

New series on BBC radio 4 “ Shadow World - The Graverobbers “ It’s all about a gang of con men who are faking wills, getting probate, and then disposing of people’s assets. At the moment they’re getting away with it. It’s a similar scam to the one were people were having their houses stolen by con men. Hard to believe things like this can go in today’s world.

As Exiled said, he's played 20 minutes or less so how anyone can make a judgement on that is beyond me.

One major trend every season is that we always have a sustained slump of games in the second half. This is down to having a poor squad - as soon as injuries hit, we can't replace with any quality (coupled with poor January transfer windows). We need a better bench.

I like Gueye he offers something different but the way Val wants to play from the off doesn’t overly suit him but he can change games is a handful and with a year behind him would like to see what this season brings for him

Some really big points saved with those goals. That's what I remember The Sheffield Wednesday goal was a highlight for me. That was a game Rovers lose. We were made of sterner stuff last year

When our workhorses went missing through injury we couldn't hold it together any longer. Travis, Tronstad and Ohashi, plus Brittain, do a tremendous amount of running, and are all integral to the team. Gueye works hard but with his big physique he can't move around as well as Ohashi and he doesn't always apply it in the best way; makes silly fouls and isn't as tactically aware in the pressing.

I would say more along the lines of, run the admin side of the academy better.
