Would also say between ages of 21-24 there seems to be a plan in action. If it’s stuck to or not is a different question. It’s good model but risky one

You almost had me there up until the word "snake".

It gets arranged with a big brush? Interesting

Anyone fancy providing a little positivity? I for one can't wait to be back on Ewood, cheering on the boys. I know I'll get irritated the second the guy two rows behind me calls the first player who misses a pass a "f*ckin' silly c*nt" even though they were saying before kick off how we need to get behind the boys regardless of the ownership. I like the signings we've made and understand why we need to let players go (I wish we didn't have to), and am much more positive this season than to last season.

The good news is we can now debunk fake ITKs very quickly. If the player linked isn’t at least 6 ft 1, they’re not even on the long list.

If you're impressed, that gives me a little bit of hope.

Does Piotr have any ideas for a goal scoring right winger/striker

Nothing new at Ewood

Far too many for me - even without Baradji. I do expect Travis to be sold though.

Credit where it’s due Rudy is doing well with some decent permanent signings, at a good age with potential to develop. We’re not there yet with another month to go in the window but it’s shaping up to be a good season. Common sense, a clear plan and forward thinking is prevailing (for now) with the grubby slimy little bean counter Waggott & the snake John Eustace out of the door. COYB 🌹

We desperately need a full back or winger who can cross, for all the talk of a pacy or goalscoring winger we're neglecting how many chances Gueye got as a result of Brittain whipping the ball in (first or second phase). An ability to regularly get quality deliveries in to the box is what worries me most if we're going with Ohashi and Gueye as our forward options. I'm sure getting Kargbo in behind will initially catch teams unawares but they'll quickly work that out and starve us off space in behind, at which point we need a plan B to make the most of our other attacking assets. Brittain created 45 chances last season, that is going to take some replacing

unlikely.... he signed

Ah the Peter Principle.

I could be at home alone with a beer and a party popper and I’d have outdone the club’s efforts.

Wonder if the Swede spoke with jdt about rovers before signing

She might be soon enough...

Play off's aren't the aim. So we're fine.

5 players for 3 positions. It’s a very long season, we’re light if anything. Hope we can retain all as well as picking up Barajdi.

I know we can make it bigger and better on here than the stooges at the club ever will. The clock is taking, but with the merchandise idea and perhaps a few more other people making suggestions, can put the clubs version to shame,. I have touted an unofficial fans takeover day and wonder if there would be an appetite for that.

I don’t think she’s senior enough to satisfy the EFL rules.

Coventry looking to spend 7.5 million on Hull city's Charlie Hughes. Whilst we're scraping around for bargain basement signings. That'll be another play off place taken

If last season taught us anything, should anything happen to Trav or Tronstad then we are screwed in there. Depth is much needed., if the new lads are any good then everyone has to fight for there place.

The powers of the EFL are extremely limited. At Sheffield Wednesday there has been a pattern of non payment of wages/taxes and reports that part of the ground is not safe - yet the EFL have been unable to force a sale. There was a pattern of similar behaviour at Reading over a period of years before the owner was forced to sell. At Blackburn Rovers we are talking about a failure to publish minutes 23 days after a meeting between the club and supporters representatives - which is hardly in the same league of misbehaviour - so I don't think the EFL are going to do anything. The new Football Governance Act does impose an obligation on clubs to engage in an acceptable level of fan engagement and once that is up and running properly - the Independent Football Regulator is yet to be appointed - then there will be a process by which supporters can complain to the Regulator if the club is not engaging in an appropriate manner.

Thanks great to hear Ian. I love my retro shirt that I bought off here and will definitely be interested in any anniversary merchandise.

Next date = 12th November.
