Ayala 😉 

Look what happened to our results in the spell he was out of the team in the 2nd half of that season

Hyam isn't a bad player, he is quite good, but he is not an organiser.  So its no surprise that our defence looks more solid when we have a Batth/Fadz/Ayala in there too

 

instead it all goes to his partner.

 

As I said, he is quite good

Any defender would look better next to a leader.

But even when he plays well, he seems immune to praise, instead it all goes to his partner.

We finished 7th.

I don't class finishing 7th in the championship as a good outcome for Blackburn Rovers.

All things considered finishing 7th this season and keeping the play offs alive until the death would be a monumental effort as it was last season to be honest.

Yes we should always be aiming for that and season on season they should be building on the previous season, strengthening the weak areas and maintaining or even trying to better the strong areas.  However we all know that NEVER happens under this lot, never has, never will they have no desire for it.

You should always build from a position of strength it's the only way now for a club like us but this ownership and those running the club always find reason or cause reason for good work to be ruined and start a new journey project  chapter (i think we are up to now)

It's almost as if borrowings need reducing and people lust for commissions.

But whatever i'd rip someones arm out the socket to finish 7th this coming season although i'm pretty sure all arms are safe for now.

I dont think I can remember us ever being almost on the eve of a season so bereft of attacking options.

It's going to be brutal without major reinforcement in those areas I fear.
