What's he done?

Lewis Miller playing in New York til at least 3:30am UK time on a Wednesday morning.

Let’s safely assume he gets a flight back to Manchester sometime Wednesday afternoon/evening Eastern Standard Time, meaning he’ll arrive back into Manchester early Thursday morning having missed a nights sleep.

Should he be starting Friday night at Deepdale? He probably will because of injuries, but it’s a huge ask.

Yeah, he shouldn't really be playing but he absolutely will be.

Been honest in an interview but it's unlikely to go down well with the club.

Then again they don't give a toss anyway i suppose.

He's done an interview with someone and made the following comments...

"The fan's don't like the owners as results have been poor for years"

"The facilities here are 20 years old and a bit under-invested, but everything you need is here"

"When looking for somewhere to live, Gestede, Ismael and the players told him don't live in Blackburn, live in Manchester, only one player who is from the area and even he doesn't live there".

All a bit petty but you can see this regime holding it against him.

He's just gone up in my estimations.

I was going to post something similar.

He is correct in his comments and they shouldn't be held against him.

I do hold against him the fact he has been absolutely abysmal since being here.

I also dont like the comments from RG and Ismael advising him not to live in Blackburn but to live in Manchester. Nobody expects them to live in Shadsworth but there's nothing wrong with living somewhere nice on the outskirts of town.

Wasn't VI also insinuating one of the reasons for Carter picking up an injury was him doing too much driving

The fact he hasn't been very good on the pitch has nothing to do with his comments.

I was talking to my brother at H/T against Derby, if Hendrickson was to never play for us again he'd be a very good shout for our worst ever XI. Obviously I hope he turns it around but I've never seen an attacking player with a worse first touch.

Great effort by Rovers fans. 4700 sold. 

[MarkBRFC]

That post from Rovers would indicate that the last block at the other end won't be going on sale should those 300 sell.

He’s incorrect regarding results being why the owner’s are hated.

It might not do, but whilst brutally honest I dont particularly like the negative comments about the town, it doesn't indicate a very positive mindset from the player about being at the Club in the first place.

I'll always remember Henchoz moaning in a foreign publication ( probably thinking it wouldn't be seen over here) that it was always raining in England and went dark at 3p.m. that time of year yada yada. Presumably it must be like Barbados in Liverpool by comparison and not go dark at the same time.

We went down that season. 

I hesitate to add the word "too".

[K-Hod]

If RG and SP are making negative comments about the town, advising him not to live there, then he reports that back- I'm unsure how he can be blamed for that, tbh.

It's certainly a large part of it though.

The results are a consequence of them being complete twats so I guess in a way he was right.

It was Gestede and VI who said it according to the quotes reproduced by Mark. As representatives of the Club they definitely shouldnt be saying stuff like that imo.

I also remember Hodgson once making a comment about how it was more difficult to attract players to BRFC than to a big City Club because " They wanted to park their Porsches outside the nightclubs of Manchester and Liverpool". I thought that was extremely disrespectful to Uncle Jack and my first thought on hearing that was "Why would they be in a night club in the first place?"

Surprise, surprise, that was also the season they went down.

As for Henriksson he would probably have been better not repeating that part of what he was advised, it does nothing to dispel the stereotype of the foreign mercenary only here for the money and he's definitely done nothing to dispel that with his performances since being here.

The comment about the fans not liking the owners is a separate thing entirely and I've no problem with that whatsoever.

[Ghost7]

Got to be some of the worst most desperate squad planning I've seen in years.

Feels stretched and not up to it despite multiple international breaks. It'll be in bits defensively by January and I suspect Rudy's transfer arrogance will be well reflected both against Preston on Friday... and by the league table come Jan.

[Hasta]

No real issue with the quotes. If a 23year old lad was moving to Rovers and asked me where he should live, I'd probably say the same thing.

If he plays consistently I bet he scores at least 5 goals this season.

His value is playing further forward - if we persist with this 3-5-2 (or whatever you want to call it - the system with 3 CB, 3 midfielders and 2 Wingbacks) he has to be given a free license to roam forward.

When he played with Morishita they both went, leaving TGH isolated on his own. You'd have the same problem if he played with Cantwell too - although Cantwell is more capable of sitting in than Morishita is.

I've always despised Hodgson. Awful manager.

Got to love that PKE online forum and their Rovers obsession.

On seeing the 5k allocation is likely to sell out they've switched from never sell out and won't even shift 3800 to 'i thought it was our cup final not theirs'.

Also a few having an argument who is the bigger club us or Burnley.

Funny how Blackpool never seem to get a mention on their forums despite this massive so called rivalry. They always have plenty to say about Rovers and do their fair share of Bumley arse kissing.

Yes lads and lasses it's YOUR cup final.
