June 2023, both parties have a 1 year option .... no idea what that means

That's 3 times I've watched WBA this season and Grant is getting worse, and fast. Cullen is quality for the Belgians.

Thankfully they finally did and justified my insomnia 😀

Nigel Pearson, living proof that Neanderthals are not extinct. Any team of his has a few who want to 'fight' someone ...... including him.

Buckley can play several positions, he will be needed this season for sure. The current competition for the places he can play may just be what he needs to up his game. Basically he's a bloody good talented footballer who needs managed properly and now treated as an adult and not top boy in the class.

I agree SS should be given time to settle but 2 years is pushing it ... by about 18 months. We will actually know well before that of the potential to really make it at this level is there. The lad puts the effort in so good luck to him I say.

Yes and he will be a massive loss to Blackpool, I really wanted his talent at Ewood.

Certainly in the first half the knobhead known as Lavery was the more serious threat. I can't recall many crosses from Bowler but yet to watch a replay. JDT targeted Bowler and tactically dealt with him well. Hyam will be a mainstay of our back line.

Basically, imo, if we finish the season above the Belgians we will be in the top 6.

Rogers full interview is measured, responsible and truthful. Fans want wins, little to no new players in the PL makes that a hard task. That is what Rogers is saying. Anyway he will be fired soon enough That's football.

Or we win and go bat shit fecking crazy! Sunderland are now a member of the mini league that we must top this season, the others being all from Lancs, I don't need to name them. We top that and we've had a very good season.

Top, top thread title change. I liiiiiiike it

Diaz left, Bowler right, striker and Dack behind. The stuff dreams are made of.

Wharton often closed down Bowler well before Bowler got near Pickering.

The only journey he's on is the daily round trip of 60 miles from Yarm to Sunderland and back. The rest is his usual bullshit.

Pickering had the best performance in a Rovers shirt that I've seen from him and I saw nothing last night to endorse previous criticism. He was well tested against a lot of traffic and did very well. He was not skinned like Travis was late on. We need the Travis bite in midfield but overall he also did fine. Kaminski is a good shot stopper although, like Paul Robinson, suspect on low shots from distance. He deals with crosses better than before. His ball distribution is often appalling and now his main weakness. Dack is on his way back, Wharton sublime, Hyam excellent, Carter better than decent. BBD had a good game too. Morton a good footballer. Hedges is becoming effective, very quick feet and decent ball control. Dolan is an enigma. Great energy levels, excellent pressing, poor shooting/passing decisions. He has a run which 'looks' fast but his speed drops a lot when in possession and he now rarely gets past defenders and runs into trouble. Something I think his brain never quite catches up with what his feet are doing. I enjoyed the game via ESPN+ and then Sky after unusual US buffering.

Cream rises.

The ref saw the deliberate stamp too.

Completely untried back four and indeed team. Quite exciting going into the unknown. Dack full restoration incoming, I hope

No Ayala. Ash on bench

Hyam plays

Yes, naturally. It's in GBs office filed under 'Blind Panic and wtf are the lifeboat oars'
