Believe by our standards we spent 'decent' money on Tavares. So far proving to be what most expected, crap. This will not go down well with our resident dictators. Expect Gestede is fuming and currently thinking up an excuse/blaming the Telegraph and fans for being mean.

I like Ismael’s attitude there. At the least he tells it like it is.

Wait until Rudy and Suhail have a word.....

The Specials - Ghost Town

This tells me that Val isn't completely stupid then. I genuinely thought that Sid would have been in the side regardless to hopefully develop him and move him on.

The other issue with this is logistics. When the Derby game hits full time you can bet on it taking a good 15 minutes for the pitch to clear, all the staff to get out of the way, media/Sky gang out. Then all the Rovers and Derby players will need their post-match discussion, shower and change before leaving the stadium. Are they going to be doing all that whilst there's another game taking place outside? Where are the 'legends' and Old Etonians going to change? They won't be able to use the home or away dressing rooms until probably an hour after full time so are they going to be stuck in a cupboard or spare room somewhere? Access the pitch from round the back of the Riverside as the tunnel is off limits? Pretty sure there are rules in place with the EFL regarding who can access the tunnel area before/during/after a game and time limits for that so that could easily cause a problem All the while they are expecting good numbers of fans to sit in their seats and wait... I say these things because I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if nobody down there has even considered these issues and just thinks there will be 22 kitted out players stood waiting in the tunnel to run onto the pitch and kick off at full time.

He needs absolutely beasting on the training ground, misplaced passes can be forgiven but casualness can't. If him, Gudjonsson and Kargbo come good it'll shape our season but as it is we are paying the price of too many cheap imports replacing good solid experienced championship players. Not like it wasn't predicted or anything !

BRAG got Tugay and about 5K in the stands for a random match, I reckon there won’t be as many for this.

There is an article on the LET today where Ismael basically says he hasn't been good enough so far and was dropped from the match day squad... https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/25517874.blackburn-rovers-boss-reveals-reason-tavares-absence/ You could add pretty much put all the signings in that bucket other than the defensive ones in my opinion.

Anyone else want him to go to Barcelona and not Real Madrid?

People's early assessment of him, at the moment, appear to be spot on.

Yep, you would think that they could repurpose the team sheet graphics template from the mens team, a picture of someone holding a scrappy bit of paper really is tinpot

sacking Sam Allardyce for Steve Kean beats all of those

?

Sunderland sacking Peter Reid for Howard Wilkinson Villa appointing Remi Garde Alex Mcleish swapping Birmingham for Viila Bolton appointing Sammy Lee as Sam Allardyce replacement Fulham appointing Felix Magath

If we get something out of this "I would love it."

Precocious talent. Too much for JDT.

He should have been given more time. Like another 10 years at minimum.

Disappointing. It was fun while it lasted.

the sight of mr wonderful being squirreled away in a black car while irate rangers where calling for him to hung drawn quartered and burnt at the stake was pretty funny rangers have actually signed a few decent players this summer,it`s martins team shape thats created all the problems,the players hav`nt got a clue what they are supposed to be doing

He'll have to go to Real Madrid for £100M. Then Tuchal will pick him.

Why they appointed him in the first place is beyond incompetence, but it was during the takeover. Now go out and get Gerrard back, give him full control and a budget to work with. If they do that they’ll win the league.

Martin sacked ☹️ I was enjoying that.

Where does it say it's a prediction? IT IS NOT A PREDICTION - it is a personal view "I wish I could sit here with 100% certainty that Rovers wont suffer any points deduction this season - sadly, with our ownership and executive management, I can't". It was the referee's decision - the ball would not bounce, it would not run and the pitch had become a big risk for the players' safety. McKenna was right to flag his concerns. Roles reversed and Ismael would have done the same. What can you not see? Embarrassing to expect Rovers to go down. Why? Do you not think it's embarrassing when you seem to forecast Rovers to win every game? What is your forecast for the Coventry game?
