It's the EFL and its clubs who wanted a more lucrative TV deal. All Sky has done is offer the EFL what they want. If it wasn't Sky it would have another TV company. It's what Rovers and EFL clubs are going have to get more supporters in ground and to appeal to non regular ST holders and match day people.

Surely it's EFL and the clubs who wanted a better and more money from the TV deal are the ones to blame not Sky? Did you think TV rights were going to sold for more money with more games being on TV? Down to Rovers to come up with a proper proposal for ST and match day prices that attracts more fans to the stadium? Bolton have done with sensible prices

Each to their own but I think he would want to play regular first team football compare to Bench warmer at Everton

Why Markanday tho? Offers very little for me

I never wrote Toni in my post tho. Looks like @J*Bor one of the mods changed it

Stop replying then Davul to my posts

Let's wait and see till the summer. If you think.fine but do we need to saying it. No

He signed some quality players at Birmingham like Olly Burke, Dion Sanderson, Jay Stansfields from Fulham We should be spending £10m this summer with 1st choice keeper, striker and pacey winger being priority for me

It's has changed for various reasons already posted and in the public domain. They should have been on sale weeks ago

But no football played. Pickford will always be first choice Playing regular first team football at his age is what he will want surely

Down to Rovers to beat them to the sign him. Why would he go to Everton as s back up to England number 1 Pickford? Pointless move for me.

My first choice to sign as new number 1 keeper would be Viktor Johansson at Rotherham. Has a clause in his contract of £1m this summer and for me it is no brainer not to go and sign the player. Viktor Johansson 2023 ● Rotherham ► Best 22/23 EFL Championship Goalkeeper (youtube.com)

one thing that Elliott Jackson mentions in his weekly podcast Arte Le Labore, is he doesn't think Eustace rates his attacking options beyond the main 4 in Hedges, Dolan, Szmodics and Gallagher(Maybe Sigurdsson but with him being injured we don't know) and that why he changes formation when one of those isn't available. I think it was interesting point made and one that @arbitro has made also that our best performance apart from Leeds away and Stoke at home have been 4-2-3-1 formation like Ipswich and Southampton at home, Sunderland and Boro away. He has to go 4-2-3-1 formation on Saturday.

Rovers have to lower the prices this coming season with the new TV deal coming which the EFL wanted more money from TV revenue. Games will be moved to a number of different kick offs from Friday night to Sunday afternoon. Rovers should charged £199 for Riverside, £249 for BBE and lower JW, £280 for JW upper wing and £330 for JW upper centre I think Rovers also need to look at match day prices policy where you need to make attractive for walk on fans to attend also. £10 for midweek games, £15 to £20 for weekend games I hope Rovers actually serious think about this cos some people won't be attend to every game due to work or family commitments was kick offs changing.

agreed. I think 4-2-3-1 formation is our best formation with 5-2-3 formation being our second formation

Was Eustace there watching the game? 100% agree

I understand your point but surely that is down to the home support to be more vocal but the club should be focusing on filling the home sections by having sensible and cheaper ST and match day prices policies. Have a singing area for fans like NO1 and NO5 area I wouldn't put the away fans in Darwen end upper tier. Like I said previously, if Pears can't cope with having full stand of away fans being him then how did he cope against Leeds away or Newcastle at home in the cup. Young and inexperience group? really? Pears 25, Hyam 28, Wharton 26, Carter 24, Brittain 26, JRC 24 Tronstad 28, Pickering 25, Dolan 22, Szmodics 28 Gallagher 28 That is hardly a young or inexperience group is it. Younger player there is Dolan who has 161 apps for us.

yet Ipswich wanted Gallagher in January and they already Hirst who proved his worth to them in the first half of the season. Hirst just didn't work out here sadly but he has been a big role in Ipswich success since joining them

Yes we did, but JDT wanted more centre backs so he could go 3 at the back. I want to see more O'Riordan and I thought he would have been on the bench ahead of the Liverpool loanee. Just after he signed here, Gary Bowyer was on Radio Lancs singing O'Riordan praises and said we got a good player here.

Leonard is injured

Just excuses from yourself in my opinion. No different for me All posted on here, used the search function on the site to find it but you won't cos you know you wrong, so I will do it for you 2024/25 Season Tickets - Page 3 - Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard - BRFCS.com - By Blackburn Rovers fans, for Blackburn Rovers fans. just excuses after excuses. There were 7k Sheff Wed fans. That it. How did they ever make it professional if they can't play in front one full stand of away fans. FFS

as I said yesterday in the match thread, I felt Eustace was too slow with making his changes and his triple subs far too late. When we went behind at 2-1 I said to the person I go with I would have made a triple sub changed which would have been Chrisene, Buckley and Moran for Pickering, Tronstad and Wharton. and go 4-2-3-1 going OTT yet again in typical Abbey style as per usual after a defeat. No one near rank all time worst. Gilsenan is injured so he won't be playing

won't O'Riordan be playing tonight?

He doesn't play wide, he plays part of front and each of the front 3 in changed positions

We had 3 shots on target yesterday. Which defender would you drop for another forward or midfielder? Its you winding yourself your self up Abbey, not me. Yesterday wasn't one of our worst showing of club history, Stop going OTT after a defeat. Who would you drop for extra midfielder or attacking player?
