I'll hold off judgement on most things til the end of the window, including the Dack situation. I'd have thought JDT's playing career could be exactly what Dack can learn from. Very similar type of player.

This is much better than the men's.

He was much cuter in his battles today despite plenty of provocation. Little pushes, leaving a boot in with his tackles, running into players just after they've cleared the ball. Love that sort of shithousery.

'Project' sounds to me like 'work in progress'. He'll only be as committed as far as he can take us.

I look at it as 'If we'd got that £3m for Rothwell, would we be happy with £2.5m (including add-ons) for Szmodics?' Imo, absolutely.

He also provided the tidy little dink through that led to the corner immediately preceding our goal.

Also felt we were miles behind with the graphics that go alongside the team announcement before the game.

Kaminaki is scary when we have a corner. Practically stood in their half!

Massive Bert vibes from Brittan. He's brilliant. Feel like Vale might be overawed by the occasion of his first proper first team game. Sub is the right decision but needs more chances in the team.

Oh captain, my captain! What a screamer. Goal of the Season competition can end now.

Still think Szmodics and Styles might sign yet.

Looks to me like 4231 Kaminski; Brittan Ayala Wharton Pickering; Buckley Travis; Hedges Vale Brereton; Gallagher.

My Dad has always said that the Blackburn mentality is that if it's not raining today, it will tomorrow.

Assume this means that if an offside player doesn't touch the ball, then they are not offside?

It took him 60 years to walk there?

Asked my Peterborough supporting boss about Szmodics. 'Probably similar to your man Rothwell. Can't judge ability, but very similar in that he likes to get the ball and bomb forward. He probably turns quicker than Rothwell though, I thought the Titanic turned quicker than him.'

You STILL try to imitate us, eh? 😉

Oh Captain, my captain!

Oberdorf Vs Walsh looks a tasty midfield battle to me.

I think it just needs the professionalism to keep coming in. In fairness, Earps made a genuinely terrific belly-up save just before 2-0 (or was it before the 3-0 back-heel?)

This time last week, there was no hint of Brittan signing. By tomorrow night he was ours. I'm trusting that other moves are similarly under wraps.

They're shaming the recent men's performances tbh.

I've enjoyed watching these women play more than any of the men's games since the Euros. There's a real magic about tournament football with England at the moment and it's fantastic. That bit of absolute filth from Russo for the third goal was 🤌🤌🤌

Actually yes, I believe it completely. It's exactly how White and Cryer operated with the club too. They were regularly told things so they could prepare potential reports ahead of time. It's part of the trust of being a local paper journo.

Bird in the hand Vs one in the bush?
