I worry for the people on the other forum. Don't think they get it

Ipswich 3-0 Rovers. They are bang in form at the perfect time while Coventry are stumbling a little. Fully expect them to put Rovers to the sword unfortunately. Predicted team: Toth O'Riordan McLoughlin Cashin Miller Tronstad TGH Pickering Baradji Cantwell Ohashi

Why shouldn’t fans of a club that has spent most of the last decade *one* division below the Premier League have at least an ambition to have a go at getting into it? That’s kind of the point of professional football, no?

This timeline given for Hedges recovery indicates that he won't even return to training until mid April at the earliest. The idea that he can be of any use in this relegation fight is just bizarre and laughable. As usual the fans are just being gaslit aided and abetted by the LT so called newspaper.

They just don't get it. It's got nothing to do with expectations of where the club should be at all IMO. We all dream of being back in the premier league, of course we do, and there have been opportunities to make that happen in recent seasons that Venky's have well and truly ballsed up....but that aside, all I care about is to have owners and those running the club that are decent, honest people that have the club's best interests at heart. It is clear that the current ownership and those based at Ewood are not decent and honest, and do not have the club's best interests at heart. Simple as that.

0 league goals this season so that's definitely happening 😅

Anyone using the term ‘most unique’ can be safely ignored.

Does Chaddy’s loan to the other forum have an option for them to make it permanent?

Even I’m close to giving up. 😁 Given we were case number 36 I gambled on missing the first hour - when I started watching they were still on case number 1. 🤦‍♂️

Can see that TBH.

Oh, not fully fit? Ryan Hardie?

Yep, I agree with all of that

I don't disagree I think we needs 2 strikers (genuine competition/bench options at worst), a starting left wing back, right wing back cover, and Tronstad cover, but I don't hold out much hope of half of those being filled to an adequate level

lol 🙂

I'm assuming Forshaw took Vince Grellas peg in the changing room.......

Although I don't wish injury on any player, this isn't great news as far as i'm concerned, so we might get Hedges back for the last 5 games of the season, which means we won't bother to sign a LWB in January. Hedges is out of contract in the summer anyway, we need a LWB urgently

That's it we're going up ✋️🤚

Gueye take the piss or Szmodics take the piss

Good news everyone https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/25767824.blackburn-rovers-injury-boost-potential-transfer-impact/ Blackburn Rovers have received a timely injury boost with hopes that Ryan Hedges will play again this season after undergoing surgery this week. The Welshman suffered a fractured fibula against Wrexham on New Year's Day. That sparked concern that he could be out for the rest of the 2025/26 season. Rovers were waiting on Hedges' surgery to discover whether he'd be out for eight weeks or 16. That rested on potential damage to his syndesmosis, a joint that provides stability in the ankle. "The only problem is that normally when the fibula is fractured, the syndesmosis is injured as well. But on the first scan, we didn't see anything," Ismael said at the time. "Some specialists say it's more likely that something happened again. So we will only see when he gets into the surgery. Then to see what damage he had. "So actually, the bracket will be for sure eight weeks. It might go to 16 weeks if the syndesmosis is injured." Hedges underwent the surgery earlier this week, performed by the same specialist who recently performed a similar operation on Liverpool star Aleksandar Isak. The initial prognosis is positive, with strong hopes that Hedges will feature again for Rovers this season. Whilst a definite timescale is impossible to predict, there's optimism that Hedges' absence will be a couple of months rather than the worst possible scenario. The 30-year-old will be in a cast for the next few weeks and will then be in a protective boot. After a further six to eight weeks, his progress will be assessed before a return to training. It gives Rovers more breathing space in the transfer market. Ismael had suggested that if Hedges' season was over, they would have to replace him this month. However, this news means there is less urgency to do so. Harry Pickering, Yuri Ribeiro and Dion De Neve can all play in that role, though none fit the role as well as Hedges. Strikers remain the priority for Rovers this month, with Ismael keen to sign two. The head coach had targeted 'two or three' of their 'three or four' signings to be through the door by now but that hasn't proven possible. Andri Gudjohnsen is expected to return at the end of the month after returning to light training following his hamstring problem. He was initially ruled out for five weeks and so the game against Hull City on January 31 is a realistic aim for him. Ryoya Morishita could be back at a similar juncture, as well as Adam Forshaw. Hayden Carter is back in training but Rovers will manage his recovery with several Under-21 matches.

We are on options D,E and F now surely. 15th Jan and nothing - it's so poor.

Barely played in over a year is 35 had bad car crash - certainly won’t be taking the piss in any league

We are aware that he hasn't played first team football in over a year and is now 35 years old aren't we?

Ahh yes... stand corrected. Okay, not worrying about resting players who might be moved on then.

Mid Jan - rooted to the foot of the PL table - team bereft of confidence, going to need to pull something out of the bag form wise soon as I am giving the famous Derby a run for their money!

I find it hard to believe an attention seeking journalist of the ilk of Nixon has held back any story. What is likely to have happened is he has been messaged that information been caught off guard as he wasn’t aware and a standard response ‘yea I heard that too but’….
