  1. The last administration error probably cost us a place in the playoffs last season. This one could potentially see us relegated this season. Absolute shambles of a club.
  2. Regarding the arsey opener, yes lots and I continue to do so regularly. Very convenient that the defence was awful whenever you played poorly. It's almost as though our current goalkeepers could be thinking the same.. Doesn't mean it's true or that your opinion is any better than anyone's just because you played. See Joey Barton under arsey ex footballer.
  3. In applying JDT's tactics better, we're much more open for teams to attack than last season. This further exposes our GK. Unfortunately I don't feel we've got that balance right between defending (we applied a block really effectively for large spells last season) and going for the throat of teams (where we often look good on the eye but waste quite a lot of good quality of chances). I did say defensive unit, not individual players playing worse and making mistakes per se, although that's definitely part of it.
  4. Yeah, that's fair. If we're only going to be shopping in the bargain bin again for a striker, I'd rather we loaned in an experienced goalkeeper until the summer (then look to solve both issues then). However I'm trying to hold out hope that the potential loan signing of Phillips suggests that we're looking at a higher quality of player.
  5. We're also missing good chances to kill games off. We've needed to sign a good striker for a while now. We can't leave it another window. We had a good Championship goalkeeper (arguably a decent Premier League one) and sold him in favour of Pears. They're not going to use up our limited resources to admit that mistake. Our defensive woes haven't just been down to our goalkeeping; our whole defensive unit has gone backwards this season.
  6. Whilst I agree we need a better no 1, I can just about cope with Pears until the summer if it means we can bring in a good striker. Doubt whatever our budget is stretches for both. Our current options up top aren't good enough for this level, bar maybe Gallagher who's always injured and never been prolific. Despite his flaws, Pears is a decent Championship goalkeeper.
  7. We don't normally get a sniff at loans of this calibre, so I'd be really pleased if this comes off. We all know striker is the key signing, so fingers crossed on that one once this is hopefully confirmed. It's not too late to put together a playoff push if we recruit right and get the injured lads back fit.
  8. Difficult to get excited by what seem to be cheap temporary squad fillers. If we've any sort of budget, you'd hope these moves are being made to prioritise funds for a striker and whatever else we desperately need.
  9. RIP Birdy Never met the man, but would always see him at away games when I lived down in London. There's a warm feeling you get when you clock that sort of commitment. Awful midweek trips down to places like Millwall in the winter. Diehard supporters like him are a credit to their clubs. Hopefully we win it for him on Friday.
  10. We should really be aiming for at least the top 6 following the last two seasons. That being said, where our squad is right now & looking at some of the other teams in the league, we're probably a good top half shout. A couple of decent attacking signings and we could really push on. Hopefully they get their men.
  11. There's plenty of evidence to suggest that they listen to the advice of individuals that aren't qualified to provide such advice.. And on that, being a Norwegian football player doesn't qualify MGP as an overly credible source of advice for sounding out the prospects of a former academy director at a Norwegian football club or a Danish football coach. They should get on the blower to Lucas Neill and see if this New Zealand keeper from Wimbledon is any good.
  12. https://www.sportbible.com/football/morten-gamst-pedersen-wrexham-transfers-blackburn-exclusive-interview-884460-20230517?source=facebook Very concerning extract from a recent interview with MGP.. ""Even last summer when they were discussing a new manager, the owners called me and asked what I thought about some of the options. I really appreciated that."
  13. Kaminski needs to start next game. I don't care how good Pears was filling in for him initially. He's looked like a back up the last couple of games. You start your best keeper.
  14. I don't think it's that black and white. Brereton and JRC were both poor early doors and I don't personally think that can be argued against. Not convincingly anyway. Unless fans categorically stated "Brereton/JRC will never make it in a Rovers shirt", then they aren't wrong to have had that opinion at the time. It's great to see JRC really step up though. Looked like he might've been on his way in January and now he's one of our key players. Really interesting run of games coming up. Hoping we can keep everyone fit for them.
  15. Certainly agree with the first sentence. I find it wild that players/teams fall short on that. You can make up for a lack of quality with those traits. Some quality certainly helps though! Completely get where you're coming from in terms of the results v entertainment debate. I do think the entertainment side is quite subjective though. Although we're certainly not playing free flowing attacking football, some people really appreciate the dark arts of the game and defending in general. If anything, that's been the most pleasing thing for me recently.
