Well those are sadly the options we have until Baradji is fit. I dont think Montgomery has had enough mins in centre midfield to form much of an opinion yet. But i would only bring him in if TGH or Tronstad are unavailable (which will happen soon given the number of games we have coming up).

Let's not pretend now. I've read... "Gueye has more footballing ability in his big toe than Gudjohnson has in his entire body." "Losing patience with Gudjohnsen". It's pathetic.

Gardner Hickman is average, there is a reason why he was unable to establish himself at 3 previous clubs. That is still better than Tavares seemingly. And the other midfielder we signed, we cleverley did so knowing hes injured for months. Montgomery has looked miles off the standard and Cantwell is our best player where he is currently playing, hes never a deeper midfielder.

Wish it was next year!

Of course there are examples of players who started slowly and then settled and thrived. But just as many if not more But the likelihood is that a % (however low or high) will simply prove to be not up to it. We cant just assume that they all will be slow burners like Tronstad. The fans are and will be behind Gudjohnsen. Saying he has looked crap in these 2 starts doesnt mean that they arent behind him.

I agree hes worse than Travis but Sid is another big step down from TGH. If we have to try someone else out at CM I would go for Montgomery. Or put Cantwell in the midfield two. Centre midfield is a time bomb waiting to go off as soon as Tronstad gets injured or suspended.

Look at my original point Rev. I said we spent around 10m which including reinvesting of money from sales given the original budget was 5m

Yeah, hes been very good. Mobile, good in the air, dedicated, good recovery. Him and McLoughlin have been very decent imo.

If Miller can continue today's man of the match performance, you can put him alongside alibousi, pardon the spelling, as a worthy signing.

You're completely ignoring the £12m sales then?

Always look on the bright side of life....

I was referring to a specific reply to Den.

As they always say, it's better to be missing chances than not be getting them in the first place. His movement's been good enough for him to miss two real chances in two games.

Personally think the club (and fans) need to stick with Gudjohnsen, you have to back your own transfer business, if you did your job right. Let's hope someone did. Strikers feed off regular game time and confidence.... I'm glad he wasn't dropped for today. Despite not scoring he's already looked handier than George Hirst ever did for us and he played in the prem. Way too early to judge... or get on his back. Give it a rest and get behind him! If you can judge a player in 2 matches then go get a job in professional football, you'd be invaluable to any club 😄

Preston flying high. I wonder what they think of heckingbottom now

Very tough game. Wish it was next weekend

Did I not write mini match report about 6 hours ago? I think I did that.

Coventry have scored 27 goals in 9 games, an average of 3 a game. We've turned our season round, if we get anything out of this one.

Why can't he put the ball in the net, against a championship team?

Yes but what you wrote was not about what you saw but about what you believe!

Yea I said similar earlier, problem being it’s not just one or two that we can take our time on and gradually gel into team like mgp, this is players who are starting for us and we are needing to hit the ground running, they haven’t and we find ourselves where we are. It’s mismanagement on the recruitment but I’m not making any revelations here we aren’t all aware of

That's how i saw it and i was expecting the finger to the lips or the cupped ear. He definitely had a F You look on his face. Think the problem may be he was a bit of a cult hero where he came from and is a proud international player used to a bit of worship from the stands. They really should be very thoroughly briefed before they come to places like this that the only way to get fans on your side is hard graft and commitment to the team. They should also all be told to turn off replies on social media. The Championship and especially Blackburn Rovers is no place for fragile ego's.

Why on earth would you have a match after a match that's just stupid

Yes if he continues to play the way he has he'll be getting interest by next summer.

Did anyone else notice TGH and Tronstad running into the same areas defensively? Obvisously a new pairing and thought TGH looked decent in his first game, but he's a lot worse than Travis. He should probably start ahead of Tavares against Coventry too but I'd give Sidnei a start again soon if I was Ismael.
