Seriously though are there any free agent strikers of literally any calibre whatsoever?

One of the very few interesting things that happened in the game- JRC coming inside and playing centrally seemed like an interesting proposition...... One to think about. JDT sounding very unhappy in his interview with the board. I wouldn't be surprised if he walked you know.

Jesus that was awful. JRC MOTM Too many anonymous players to name.

Possession stats: Blackburn 45 Wigan 35 S Thomas 20

Hard to decide who/how many to hook off here

Coasting is the word I'd use. Maybe says more about Gallagher. Yes some poor crosses from Thomas so far but he's very forward looking on the ball so far. Seeing plenty of it and giving them something to think about down that side. Do we think brereton knows the Chile manager is here? Looks like it so far ...

Either west brom haven't woken up yet or they have seriously under researched how we like to play based on this first 15

At least west brom will be knackered from chasing with 10 as well....

Agree we haven't played well but we've missed some absolute sitters the last 1 1/2 games. We have a weird midfield at the moment, all pressing but when the tackle comes in its soft, already tonight quite a few forest players just managed to ride through them. Whats the deal with Zeefuik? I know it's a loan but surely we aren't tied in to buy? Might be looking for two RBs in summer at this rate.

True. I wonder if in part this is the reason for a deep lying Elliot in the false 9 position

On paper I like the midfield 3 of Rothwell, Davenport and Travis but it hasn't quite worked as well as I'd hope. Feels like we aren't getting enough from them going forwards joining in with the front 3 (surely should be rothwells brief)

Definitely agree with everyone that Johnson is a big upgrade. Slightly cautious though. He got the ball tangled under his feet a few times tonight and made a few heavy touches which resulted in lost possession in our own half quite a few times. Will be punished for that against the bigger teams. Downing MOTM. Best footballing brain on the pitch tonight. Not sure what to do about LB on Saturday.

Sheff united away...

You can see why the Sunderland fans hate him. An article says he cost them £4700 per minute on the pitch. Hopefully he'll accept a pay as you play. Can't be short of cash.

Not a tantrum and glad to see it. Just saying not sure it was good for my health logging on and seeing those names! Not sure rodwell would add much myself. Would avoid
