No doubt they will still water the pitch before kick off

Far too early to be judging whether we are weaker or stronger. Let’s wait until all the new players are up to speed with the Championship. If we are top half come Xmas I think we can say that it’s been a decent transition considering the number of new players. Let’s not forget, we had some horrendous results and performances last season despite finishing 7th.

Great performance yesterday particularly the defence but I do feel that we are one body light in the centre. I know Rudy has ruled out another signing but can’t help thinking a change of mind would be sensible.

Hey is that you Rudy?

So reading between the lines of the Gestede interview. A few questions: Why do the senior players who have left prefer to be at another club rather than at Blackburn Rovers? The players who we have been brought in are cheaper options but are they better than the ones they are replacing? The Championship is now stronger and more competitive so why are the club reducing wages, which we all know usually relates to success on the pitch? Why no mention of appointing a new CEO for a multi million pound organisation? Why do the fans want you out Rudy? Have you asked them? Until the club engages with the fans to explain fully the reasons behind the constant change behind the scenes and issues that may be present I’m afraid there will be some distrust of what is being communicated

No contact from what I saw. Perhaps a calf injury?

Read some of the other Legia fans’ comments on Twitter (i speak Polish) and they seem to be gutted that he’s leaving.

i guess most fans aren’t really interested in what is happening at board level or how much players earn. They just want to watch good football that produces results. They would have been very happy with the performance on Saturday had it resulted in a win or at least a draw but deep down they know something is wrong. Giving stupid goals away and not scoring enough is only going to result in a relegation battle. It’s still within Venkys power to turn this poor start into a competitive season but they must spend money on players that will improve the quality of the team.

The problem these days is everything has to be played out on social media etc. it will only get worse with AI. Travis obviously hasn’t handed in a transfer request but if other clubs are wanting him and its public knowledge then I can’t see why VI shouldn’t have his two pennoth too. He is obviously rattled that he is losing experience from the team and it could get worse. i’d be very surprised if the club haven’t anticipated this situation happening but it seems they aren’t handling it very well as far as publicity is concerned.

On the contrary but I do support Rovers and would never, ever want us to lose a match.

I take it you don’t attend matches

Not sure why you’re even on this forum. Wanting the opposition to win. Call yourself a Rovers fan?

If Kargbo is considered to be our best player we need to understand how to benefit from his pace and crossing (which was awful yesterday). Maybe play him on the right wing to get to the byline and pull the ball back rather than beating the right back and cutting back in?

Today I start my 60th season being a Rovers fan. Yes I’m an old fart but no less excited at what this one will bring. Not expecting too much as we are in a period of transition with some key players from last season missing and we just don’t know if their replacements are quite up to the challenges of the Championship. Hopefully we will still sign a wide man and striker before September to provide a bit more fire power up front but I’m not holding my breath. COYB

Just received instructions on how to download my digital season ticket but not having much success. Anyone else having problems too?

Whoops

30 years ago. Where will we be in 30 years time?

At the end of the day, gates will be determined by success or lack of it on the pitch, regardless of how many have bought season tickets. Having a debate about ticket prices may while away a few hours but we won’t know if we are getting value for money until the season starts.

Losing Baath and Weimann is a blow but then they are out of contract soon so not our players to lose. If we wanted them then we should have been stretching their contracts last season. Same goes for other players nearing the end of their contracts. Maybe we will just let Travis, Tronstad and Brittain run down their contracts and leave for free at the end of next season. Who knows? Let’s hope Rudy and Val know what they are doing or we are going to struggle

Keith Andrews is apparently!

Wrexham are currently a far better proposition than Rovers so if they want Travis then he would be a fool to not want to join them. We can hang on to him for 12 months but if its about saving money then we will surely want to sell him. Unless something dramatic happens, Rovers are a basket case in terms of competing at the highest level.

He may be 34 but if there’s one player we should be busting a gut to get that’s Danny Baath. It was so telling when he was out injured and won’t be easily replaced.

Surely a forum is just a place for discussion rather than a group with aims and objectives? There will inevitably be differing views on what is happening to Rovers but if the majority of members are for the proposal then fair enough.

No Tronstad?
