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

I’m astounded Vale gets a game I really am. 

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.

It's so hard for the midfield three against 343. No room at all.

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.

We aren't interested in him.
Fans are having a tantrum over a player Mowbray has confirmed we have no interest in.

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

Been up at the fringe festival for 2 days and so not seen what's happening. Just logged on, rodwell and anichebe. F*** me....

I know its HITC but still an interesting proposition. Suits Spuds business approach.

Weird article isn't it. It's almost like an opinion piece. It talks as if he was sold for 10-12 mil. Fact was big clubs didn't go in for him so he probably wasn't worth that at the time. They obviously found better value.

Thought Travis came on and did well yesterday. He was actually playing in Dacks usual position and just chasing everything down and not giving their defenders a second on the ball (same with Arma to the point we're I lost count how many of their balls out from the back went straight out). Think this was wise. Full of running but needed experience in front of the back 4 to see the game out. I'm easy as to whether he goes out on loan or not. Think he could contribute if he stays but obviously want him to develop.

Would really like a deep lying playmaker type of player. For me that would really make this exciting team tick and take it to another level.

Tune Adams family:

In our defensive foursome

He’s absolutely awesome

He tackles and he floors em

it’s Ryan Nyambe

And how did this not catch on?! (Unless it did)

As someone who hasnt been able to get to a match for circa 12 months I was impressed yesterday by the number of new songs (to me). Seems like league 1 has made us a bit more creative!

What was the dack one? Something about tinder. Couldn't quite work it out. Was it to the same tune as Smallwood's?

That miss though! 

Played well otherwise I thought.

Yep. Essentially an open goal

Great win and great backing in the away end.

Seen a few people knock Palmer on here. I thought he actually did well first half, opened them up a few times, second half not as good but still.

Also until graham came on the pitch he was Rayas only outlet. Every long ball from the back was aimed at him and he won a fair few. 

He is by no means the finished article but more positive than negative for me.

Played well all in all and game should have been 2 or 3 out of hulls reach by 70 mins, Bennett's chance especially.

Edit- also worth pointing out hull are one of the worst teams I've seen play for a while. Devoid of quality.

ALERT. Card machine in the stadium is down therefore no cash no pints/food!

Obvious I know, but lose this and we are off to a poor start. Got to keep that momentum going.

Will a draw be considered momentum? Feel we need our first win in the next 2 games or heads will start to drop

For 8 mil I feel he has to come in and offer something now. It's too much for potential alone. The example of Luke Murphy is a good one as someone pointed out.
