Rovers were the only team to start with 12 men, when the Turkish Delight played for us.

Interesting especially that Nayambe didn’t get a signing on fee. Players certainly take a chance when turning down the offer of a new deal down and clearly they sometimes backfire.

Brilliant news really and as already stated, it shows the previous regime, were missing a trick. If the manager was advising non playing staff to move on, then perhaps he was also reluctant to persuade players that Ewood was the place for them. Thank goodness that’s now in the past.

Interesting that and sounds very promising. Does anyone know what the new compensation rules are? Perhaps that’s a step in the right direction too.

Today it was bullies V Faries and the bullies won. It’s a shame we played they way we did, as Luton are a one trick pony and we simply played into their hands. Very poor today, all round.

Hope the Hatters don't have their secret weapon Hugh Jarse available.

The Bolton fans hated him initially. I think he is doing a decent job and has galvanized them now.

There is more ways of skinning a cat and all that and if we keep on skinning them, I am happy to play with no player running at the defence. Some great passing and moving in a few games so far and I do enjoy that type of football.

I think he meant them.

Hyam certainly celebrated his goal like he wanted to be here. I get the impression, this is a team that look after each other and will have welcomed him with open arms. Very happy with him so far.

Good to see this happening. I know we had the odd one (Travis) under Mowbray, but is this a coincidence that we are getting the youngsters tied down, especially when you hear of the previous manager, recommending other clubs to his colleagues?

That's exactly what I was just thinking. Imagine working for a major employer and you head hunted one of your esteemed colleagues for a rival firm. Surely this is market manipulation.

If I was in charge at Sunderland I read this, I would dismiss him immediately. If he can do that once, he can do it again. Imagine if Boro want one of their players, or a member of staff, or even a nice comfortable victory, can he be trusted to act in the best interests of the club who pay his wages? This needs reporting to the powers that be, as it is as close to manipulation and abuse of power as you can get and is corporate negligence in my view.

Clarets match tonight is postponed. I suspect all Saturdays games will be too.

Good for filling in then.

For those who have made their predictions, I will post a results page on Sunday. Anyone else who wants to have a go, are most welcome. All in the name of fun and nothing to lose.

I remember a Speight goal V Sheffield Wednesday that was on TV. Being a Sheffield lad and a blade, he was made up and was beaming broadly when they interviewed him on the TV post match.

The signs are there with the Buckley extended deal last week, that we are protecting our assets a bit better. Hopefully Greg was brought in to address that as well as bringing in new players too.

Absolutely. Three draws in a row and 1 win and two defeats, yields the same points tally, but if feels horrible losing the two. Obviously like every other football fan, I hate my team losing, but with a win on Saturday, I will be content with the start.

Micky Speight.

LOL My neck is on the block, as I have gone first. See new thread.

Me neither.
