I don't know about that. If he's not good enough for Stoke then...

Not sure how Boro are in a position to be demanding big sell on clauses.

Centre forward is most pressing issue for me.

I think this defensive panic has been blown way out... We currently have 4 decent centre halves fit and a few supposedly good young lads coming through. We've got that much depth one of our best players (Nyambe) didn't even make the squad on Saturday.

I recon Waggot is gunna stumble back into Brockhall, same getup as Friday, stinking of ale, tie undone, curry on his shirt, beer breath, Chapman and Britt in back of his jag shouting "f*ck the cup, we're going up!" in the canteen.

No no... Balls are on the line here now pal ?

Maddona... If you're wrong I think you should get a kick up the arse and a dead shoulder from each one of us... Playground style.

Yikes. Played yesterday though, something don't sit right.

His wages must be out of our reach surely???

For all the talk about Dacky, still pops up with an assist and almost walked through their defence to score. Lad is a maverick and it's pointless assessing his performances. I remember so many times for most of the game he's done nothing and then all of a sudden bangs one in or opens a team up.

Rodders is looking a class act. Can't fault anyone today. Really need Reedy signed. Evans was class. Trav was solid again. Be nice to have more centre forward options, if we sign Gallagher then we're looking some bloody side.

Chapman is low risk. Few hundred grand for someone with his ability and potential is worth a punt.

I remember TM saying it will take us 4 transfer windows until he feels we're worthy of challenging the bigger sides in this league, now he's saying he's happy with the squad and we're looking at freebies. Looks like the purse strings have closed to me.

Depends on what you mean by special. Gets assists and goals for them fairly regularly and worth a hell of a lot more than what we sold him for. People seemed to forget he was still a youngster when he came here and we're expecting the finished article. If that was the case then he wouldn't have left United to sign for us. It showed a clear lack of perspective from a number of our fans to be honest and a lack of good man management by Bowyer. Once folk realised his potential against Stoke it was too late, the manager had wasted him.

Best: Bellamy away at Portsmouth. Worst: Dickson Etuhu away at Blackpool.

Shamre really, we had one in Josh King but Bowyer wasted him and every time I went to Ewood many fans hounded him.

crocked at Villa

I think you have to look at it in relation to the fee paid. For 300k I think Bell is a decent signing. Williams cost a little more but I'd say the same of him too. Players capable promotion? Maybe not but time will tell. Bell can still improve, there's more to come from him and Williams is a better CB IMV.

Chuffed for Jack Rodwell. Something that's been overlooked is I think It's been years since he played 90 minutes and won a league game. Not an easy place to get a result and play well.

This lad was on the cusp of the first team when he bossed Liverpool u23's before Christmas. Dunno whats going on. Obviously not quite first team material yet.

Would have though Chapman would have been done 1st week of Jan after missing out last knockings in the summer.

Any chance to post this which sums him as a player and his career at Rovers perfectly...

Draw. Just put it in my acca. Due one aswell.

Not posted on this one yet. All I will say is this... "we f*cking will win on Saturday" TMBWA

Can analyse all day but all I want to see is Joe Rothwell in centre mid and make sure we have a centre forward up front. Play through the midfield instead of miss it out.
