With poor positional skills. -

Nah, he's a PL level athlete. Big, strong, quick and with a leap on him. He's not lightning fast, but he's fast enough to make teams play deeper against us (part of the reason we're a 'better team' when he plays). I maintain that every manager he's ever had has got incredibly excited the first time they've seen him warm up. Then the balls come out and they get deflated. -

As I've repeatedly said about Gallagher - hell of an athlete, but he's never a footballer. -

He's soft as shite - so was Morton last year. As we saw on Tues, you can get away with that in the Premier League, but you'll just get bullied with that attitude in the Championship. -

Anyone with common sense saw this coming - it's easy to get up for an FA Cup tie on the telly. I knew we'd be flat as a pancake in a 6 pointer against Swansea. I hate this team. -

I don't know why they ever put Scousers on commentary. It's such a grating accent. -

Two of our players hacked down in the D - nothing. McFaz misses his first tackle - yellow. Male or female, these refs are shit. -

Weak goalkeeping and poor effort from Moran. Gave up on the chase. -

Ah, bollocks, stuck with Swansea commentary. Lee Trundle I think. -

He subbed Sigurdsson on upfront against a PL team rather than Telalovic. He clearly doesn't fancy him. -

Sold Wharton, loaned out Travis - and now Fleck and Tronstad are injured. You couldn't make it up. -

This Leeds performance is what I fear for us today - incredibly flat after a big midweek FA cup game. -

We never saw that kind of delivery from Thomas. -

We beat them 3-0 at the start of last season. -

Why should he be held accountable for deliberate sabotage perpetrated by others? -

They're not going to relegate Man City. -

What kind of transfer fees to Motherwell usually pay? 👀

Dilan Markanday.. potential talent or ?
Exiled_Rover replied to NeilInBristol's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
He's always looked like a L2 player when he's played for us before last night. He's useless out wide - he's far too small and slow to trouble FBs. I've said for a while that he's a #10 - if you watch the players warm up he's easily our best finisher. Maybe the 3-4-2-1 that Eustace seems to favour will allow him to play more centrally to show what he can actually do. -

S. Wharton (the S. is now sadly defunct when talking about a Wharton in Rovers colours 😞 ) has looked better recently because he's playing in a back 3 again. It suits his strengths and hides his weaknesses. Hyam looks much better too. It's a much easier system to play in for a CB - much more margin for error. -

What you're forgetting is that we looked great against PL teams in the FA cup last year with JDT's style of play too. The Championship is much more about blood, guts and thunder with absolute cloggers harrying and making everything a physical battle. PL players want to actually play football - which is why Ayari and Moran looked good yesterday. -
I bloody hope not - we need a GK coming through the Academy. Eastham isn't good enough.
