Given you have to be in the top 6 to have a chance of promotion. Did you mean 14/1 or something? Apologies Bluebruce I was having a senior moment! The odds I quoted are the wrong way round! You are quite right! In fact Bet365 are basically saying there is no way we are going up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucimo Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I can see double figures for Brereton this season and a lot of folks on here backtracking claiming they knew he'd come good. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be delighted to see it. I think he’s a long way away personally and i’ve said so, but there would be nobody cheering those goals more than me at Ewood. Because you know, I want the best for Blackburn Rovers. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair to them it doesn't say they are drinking beer. Maybe it's a farewell gathering for The Nut. They were drinking, don't you worry haha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few pints on one of the hottest days of all time won’t kill them, especially as we’ve no game in the morning. If they were bouncing around like bunnies, then getting off their nuts in someone’s kitchen, chatting nonsense until 6am, then perhaps that would be detrimental.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Just now, Sparks Rover said: Did you attend any games last season? Big hoof to Danny, lay it off.... That was last season. Almost every pre-season game we’ve played a very “out from the back” possession style, with rotating forwards, playing possession through Travis and Rothwell. We haven’t been hoofing the ball to Graham really. Graham basically played out wide against Bury, and didn’t hoof the ball that game at all.

Bbrovers2288 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I’m absolutely not taking anything as gospel from within the club now, was told that a couple of deals would be concluded today and nothing. Even those within the club don’t know why things are taking so long. Sharpe has said the same. As far as I know the city lad is concluded- why the hold up, who knows. And nuttall to accy is done or soon to be. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(apart from the city lad). That's the thing that will make or break our season. It's so important we invest there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re one decent centre half off having a good shout for the top 6 IMO. Shit or bust on that front for me - it’s that important. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At our level it's hit or miss - quite a lot just coast on their skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footballers just aren't that fit. Federer is a different kettle. At the top with relatively little competition so was at a similar level for the majority. Then when Djokovic and Nadal started to overtake it looked like his level dropped off. Then stepped up his level even more because he was learning against players better than him. Then overtook again. Now age taking its toll! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercer Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I think Rovers are now working on the basis that every £1 spent on either fees or wages has to be matched by £1 fee in or reduction in wages. If I am right, and I think it's an 80%er, it would account for the lack of activity inwards at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
