This Zach Stritch seems to be making great strides …. Anybody know what kind of player he is …. Junior & Him look like they could be next gems ……

Zack Stritch Scores again brace this time as U18s beat Sunderland 3-0 .. 3 in 2 attacking midfielder ….

Blackburn Rovers U18s Michalski, Murphy-Worrall, Powell, Litherland (Houghton 65), Doherty, Finneran, Bell, Stritch Nsangou (Boggan 81), Shaw (Shorrocks 65), Dlamini (Mullarkey Matthews 73).

Stitch Scored …Ended 1-1 with Wolves getting a late goal .. Nice to see Finneran getting fast tracked ….Under 18s is looking very young these days…

The fast tracking of Hirst over Dack and Markanday & Szmodics is poor from JDT …. It’s obvious he has favourites and am not liking it …..Dack has waited for his chance but when he sees Hirst coming on instead of him that must hurt …. 

Really like him … much needed… Think he will do well … different level to Dolan …. Reminds me of Craig Higgnet 

Whalton & Phillips & Garret deserve Chelsea’style 7 year deals ….. Hyam was a strange one only got a 3 year one … needs upgrading .. looks the real deal …. 

Caulker heading back to Turkey after Rovers talks so it’s 2 from 3 instead of 2 from 4 …. 

Terrible signing if true .. thought they moved on he’s just a younger version of Gally but scores even less at this level .. another kid

Jesus is George Hirst the new one ? And this is coming from the same person who said Farke was a shoe in for next manager and styles was coming 🙄🤣. 

Some people are better than the Beano

Deals can fall its part & parcel of the scenes in the background… Everybody likes to hear who we are after not all get done ✅ … I personally love Glens input ….. but hope we can do better then young Hirst …

Looks like Bjørkan will be going to Feyenoord, loan with an option to buy.

Dam Broughton probably still in bed !! If you snooze you loose …..hopefully he will get round to the left back problem in the next window ….

Fredrik Bjørkan's loan move to Norwich still hasn't happend yet, Gregg should be on the phone.

He reminds me so much of Stig Inge Bjornebye …. Would love him on loan with an option to buy …. Come on GB move one of Eden or Pickering to make some space ….

Out of interest is this opinion or what you’ve been told? 

Both …. Not good … 

btw All DOF give regular updates on what the state of play is … JDT also knows what’s happening but has decided to pass the buck by saying Ask Greg …. 

Looks like a long wait for VDB …. Burnley back in too … It’s like Broughton is frozen in a time warp …. Some people say it’s good nothing is leaking but there’s nothing to drip out when there’s nothing happening……

JDT still wants Berget but he’s having problems justifying that cause of the players age & he’s just come back from an injury…….200 K … think he would be ideal …. Can play right / left back all across the front and CB …..

Not Liking JDT brand of football … there is too much space given to opposition & we play so deep …  Swansea type games are very rare….We don’t even have an out …

Broughton is not helping the situation just waiting for players who might not even come here …..it’s like we only need defenders which isn’t the case …. 19 shots conceded vs Reading & 20 odd by Sheffield… and none by us …..shocking …

When the likes of Gallagher & Buckley and Pickering are undroppable you know your in the crap ……

How on Earth he can pick Vale last week and brings on Dolan instead of Dack says it all ….

Ask Greg was funny once upon a time but now just a farce ….Communication doesn’t cost anything …….

Manchester City have nabbed the signing of Blackburn & England U15 forward David Chigwada… just not fair…

Don’t understand Broughton .. know we are waiting on the 2 Vans but what’s stopping him filling other positions ……it’s hampering JDT as he expects 4/5 players ….

You hearing anything unleaded?Are we still in for Styles?

Nothing on my side …. Not heard of any bids for him …. Hope Glen is right & am wrong …. 

Looks a lightweight just like the last Liverpool player we had on loan …. 

Think Harlock will be the dark horse .. really like the look of him …..

Leaks were discussed as the club is doing brilliantly in not having many.

Strangely Nixons name came up from Waggott.

I did comment although no leaks can be good, chucking a journo a bone can sometimes raise optimism as silence creates further worries.

In truth though, discussing transfers, players etc was not part of my agenda and it was only briefly touched on during the Nyambe discussion when I commented that Brittain seems a decent replacement and that I'd heard prior to coming in we was close on Styles, he was genuinely surprised that I knew.

Funny thing Glen is that Nixon knows that Waggot doesn’t like it him getting the names and is trying to stop that !! Lol 😂   Good luck to that many have tried before him & failed ….
