I agree... dangerous championship player

Buckley is so bad..most basic of passes and he knocks it out for a throw and kills alll our momentum.

Another JDT tactical masterclass..."here's the team lads, pass it about and see what happens"

Anyone that think Khadra wouldn't wouldn't be useful here should have a rethink...he is Messi compared to some of our attacking options.

"Now we don't have a game for 27 days here, did you remember to put the covers on the pitch?...ah I'm sure it will be fine for a month in January"

Insane we want to play a certain brand of football and we don't have the players or pitch to facilitate it..what a fucking joke.

I know but we haven't played on it for 27 days ..that's unacceptable even for this regime.

Absolutely fucking typical. Shite from Morton and Kaminski

Pitch doesn't look great given we haven't played at Ewood in weeks...assume we aren't still training on it?

Yeah a few places pal

Yeah

Always thought there was a player in there especially at champ level.

I know our hand has been forced but that back 4 is rough😬

I don't think players not signing new contracts is a sign that things aren't great around Ewood or the club and they all want out. I could be wrong but I imagine it's purely financially, I get the impression that most that have left recently would have stayed if we stumped up or had better contracts in place. Simple fact is we are making it easy for them to look elsewhere when if they were tied into a contact it wouldn't be on the forefront of their minds. It's down to poor management from the powers that be at Ewood. When they get into their last 12 months of their contracts their eye starts to wonder. Sends an awful message too when they haven't been approached to sign a new deal when other clubs are showing them love and better terms than us. Not having to pay a fee makes them alot more attractive to other teams, an issue we could avoid if they had 2-4 year deals. It deters teams and keeps your assets alot more secure, make it a little easier to swallow if they do go but you get a suitable fee to soften the blow.

Fancy a win here today but don't rule out a 1-1 and an unwanted replay. Nice to have an interest in the cup games these days. Very winnable.

João would be ideal imo but I do fear as someone else pointed out that he won't be considered due to age and wages. He is just gone 29, hardly over the hill. Don't like the fairly rigid plan we appear to have on focusing purely on youth and resale. If you get enough of those right then the cost of the João's of this world will seem quite minimal.

There is an increasing volume of clowns on here that appear to log in not to give their own opinions but to question others opinions. Very strange approach, more interested in aggro than contributing any of value or worth. Quite pathetic really.

That could change come the end of the season depending how both teams fair so let's just see how it goes I say. Happy enough to get him on board as we do lack pace and a bit of creativity at the moment so best of luck to the lad.

Don't get the argument that a loan makes no sense. If a player can strengthen the team and has proven himself at this level I'd happily take him. Improving the team is the priority. We don't know the the terms of the deal so should probably all relax a little. There could be numerous reasons why he is available, can't be instantly dismissed as a bad player because he is available. Lots of good players want out of clubs at all levels for various reasons. Would I take Thomas on loan for the rest of the season? Yes.

I think that could be more so to do with the fact they might not be replaced and would leave us short on bodies. I for one wouldn't mind if they didn't get new deal but there was players in to actually replace them. The fear is the squad numbers dwindling and becoming even thinner. We appear to struggle to get deals over the line so can't really afford to let people leave unfortunately. Current players may benefit as a result of this and get themselves new contracts.

Exactly. Bodies breaking the lines and into the opposition box is so rare. Has to be alot more of it.

What are you shitting on about? I didn't mention Morton so why are you acting like I was championing him? He can be shit too. Laughable that it's someone else's problem that Buckley is piss ..that's a new one. Buckley can't do his own work so you clearly haven't a clue, contributed nothing this season. Don't have a hissy fit at me. I don't watch football? What you on about? I go to games all the time. Only one talking out their arse is you. Enjoyed your nonsensical ramblings there though, showed your level of intelligence.

He is a class act.

On a positive note. Over the moon for Dack, can't be understated what he went through, as testing as it gets, especially for someone who wasn't blessed with a natural athletes physique. Genuinely makes me happy when I see him score and do what he loves best. Congratulations Dacky👌👏

He's had a run of games multiple times. What's with the excuses? Is it beyond the realm of possibility that even if he is in and out the team that he doesn't put in piss poor performances when he does play. It's unacceptable.
