Put Gally beside Ayala. Take Pickering out and get Dolan/Markanday on the right.

Ayala has been tremendous at the back. Shouting at everyone to get organised. We need him FIT for as long as we can. Edun and Pickering are ticking time bombs. We need DEFENDERS! Up front we created nothing. Szmodics is running around aimlessly. Gave away the freekick which they scored. Gally has been doing all the hard work. 3-4 good defensive headers by him. And willing to run the channels. Good grafter. Bring on Dack for Szmodics and Morton for Bucko.

Gap is closing.

Pickering, imo, seems to perform quite well when he was in CB, better than he was at left back. Maybe that could be a stop-gap measure.

What a masterclass by JDT. Set up to defend and allow Swansea's defenders to play the playmaker's role, which they resorted to long balls, passing sideways. Grimes has to come deep to collect the ball and try to make things happen. We can play 900 mins and they still wont score. Great last ditch clearances/save from Rovers when needed - Edun, Wharton and Kaminski. Attackers made Swansea pay with clinical finishes. Perfect performance from all players and manager!

Interesting read. The Blackburn talent factory: How humble beginnings at Rovers' remote training centre in the hills of east Lancashire shaped future England stars Georgia Stanway, Keira Walsh and Ella Toone. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11044333/How-Blackburns-academy-shaped-future-England-stars-Georgia-Stanway-Keira-Walsh-Ella-Toone.html

From the video, Szmodics is very pacy, quick, very Bellamy-ish, can finish as well. Could have gotta a few more assists if their strikers can put them away. Our striker is Gally, so we will see. Gally (Vale) Diaz (Markanday) Szmodics (Dack) Hedges (Dolan) Bucko (Morton) Travis (Edun/A.Warton)

Have to mentioned Bucko. Silly to get himself booked in the first 10 mins. Then full of maturity to keep himself in the game as well as influencing game play. Won quite a few balls as well. Excellent game from him. Wharton/Ayala looked solid heading those long balls all day. But we still need a 1 or 2 CBs. Ayala will not last the season. Brittain - Very good signing. Defensive awareness and ball skills. Haven't seen that for a while from our right back. Hedges - Very under-rated. Worked hard for the team, does have a few skills in his bags. Actually has a good game. Gally - Runs a lot but keep giving the ball away in dangerous areas. Cant control a ball. But no one can fault his work rate. Travis - What a start as our club captain! Led by example today. Pickering - Not convinced with him at all. Looks painful slow. All in all, 3 points. Let's hope JDT can look at this game and start improving the first XI and add some depth to the bench.

Pickering is bang awful.

Why am i so annoyed at Boro taking our better players and don't have to pay us anything. 🤬 It's already so difficult to strengthen our team from last season and now we have to first replace those players we have lost first, then we can strengthen the team. It's such a big ask of JDT this season to build a team who can challenge for a playoff spot. I just hope all of us (including myself) have patience.

It is a little worrying now. I'm sure all of them are a nice bunch. But realistically, only 6-7 of them are starters. We need some quality first-teamers for sure, 4 at very least? And where's Ayala? Thought he travelled to Portugal.

It's time to assemble the players! Finally we got it done, hope the paperwork will be sorted! Let's show intent by making Christian Eriksen our first signing!

Bucko arent a defensive midfielder. He's a False freaking 9!

He's here just for a job. Lost his motivation as a football manager. We have owners who don't care and so here we are now - 2nd in December. 8th in April, and nearly out of the playoff contention. Seriously, how did we allow this to happen? The lack of ambition and drive from Mowbray is just alarming. I don't think there's a game which he raised his arms and said, "Yeah, i made a mistake..." It's always referees, opponents are 'tough', 'bad day in office', 'our players are young' etc. Kean was a snake, but this guy here just suck any ounce of life we have left in our body. I feel like this at times.

Muthafocking BIG GOAL! GET IN BEN!

Ref is weak!

Kaminski keeping us in the game. Against Peterborough.

The fking ref is not giving us anything today.

Van Hecke is our best player, the only one who cares. And he's YC-ed. Rothwell, Mr False 9, Donkey can all f-off.

JRC is pure shite. Always running into trouble and giving the ball in dangerous areas.

Coventry looks more top 6 than us. Their passing is slick.

I think today i have come to realise that we are not going up. Even if we squeeze into top 6 after 46 games, so what? We dont have the form nor balls to take on teams like Forest, Luton, QPR, Huddersfield, Sheff Utd. It has been a nice ride after the 7-0 by Fulham. We were 2nd at one stage, i was confident, hopeful and really thinking this is the season we can get promoted. It was a beautiful dream. I still wish we can go up this season. But the dream is getting slowly drifting away after every week. Thanks for everything Tony, just go. please.

Losing to REAL Madrid aint so bad. Oh wait, its REAding! Hahah Tony, please just go and take Gally with you. Waste of 5million and a new contract.

Wow what a half? How is Reading now 4 or 5-nil up? Kaminski and the Reading strikers are keeping us in the game. For the first time in a while, our 3 CBs are horrible. Can't seem to win any headers. Buckley, back to the old flashy pony. Lost the ball in dangerous positions. Rothwell, shouldnt even bother to turn up. Dolan some spark here and there but nothing much. Horrible half. Only Kaminski deserve any credit.

SO SICK of Tony. HIS team failed to scored yet again. Can't wait to see him gone for good. Back to square one.
