He reminded me of Amari Bell in his first game. Could knock it down the line and run after it so looked like he could do something, but ultimately that was his one “trick”. At least he’s been involved.

Early days. Only 55 minutes, Yada yada yada. But yeah, certainly De Neve and the Swede looked lost.

He would have parried that near post shot back towards the penalty spot.

They are fairly interchangeable. Their reputations will rise and fall on how many cock ups lead to goals. On another day, both of those in the first half could have gone in and the saves he’s made today mean shit. It’s an area that should be improvable, but you have to remember how bad Leo was.

Need Big Mak and AK7 on here.

Surely if Travis has both arms wrapped around Price when the ball comes in the penalty should be given then. Either way they are both doing it so the ref lets it all go. It’s not a ref clanger like the penalty at the other end.

Very early days for them all, but I agree so far.

Is Travis not holding the goal scorer all the time, even still got a grab of his hand when he puts the ball in the net?

If it’s the other way round and defender knicks it back from Ohashi and then goes down in his own box there, can you imagine the ref waving play on.

I was just going to post that. Doing well so far. Best of the new boys.

I meant how’s he not got two bookings, albeit sarcastically.

I think this quite often, but Ohashi really isn’t good enough outside the box. Great save by Toth.

How is Henriksson still on the pitch ?

Edit

Well. That looks shite defending.

lol. Took me about 30 seconds after this comment. 😂

SkySp+ 404

It is the only Sky game live on the normal Sky Sports channels. So any sports bar will have it on.

Reminder the opening weekend games are all live on the Sky Sports App, and Rovers are live on Sky channel 404.

I doubt it. Look at how some posters are suddenly choosing to 'ignore' this thread now it shows the club are refusing to publish honest minutes.

Usual shite referee. Bookings for fun in the first half, and then in the second half when he was losing control cards kept in the topic for things three times worse. At the end his decisions were laughably predictable.

Some cracking quotes on the V2 minutes. We could celebrate these, maybe with a flag to take to games. Therefore I've picked out the best quotes I can find, and we can vote on which Suhail Tifo we should make - probably best for away games. Vote for either A, B, C or D?

The story is no longer the minutes, it's the fact they can't be agreed.

The NOBODY KNEW in the minutes referred to those at Ewood. Not other clubs. So when asked why we sold Wharton for below market value, Suhail replies with "Nobody knew Wharton would be a good player at youth level". Which is firstly pretty damning on the football people at Ewood, and secondly irrelevant to the question of selling for below market value. I would imagine the football people knew full well how talented he was months before he made that start at Blackpool, and probably don't appreciate being framed as being a bit incompetent here. When put on the spot, Suhail appears to be a bit of a car crash. That's a stupid answer. I suspect the he doesn't want to just say the truth, we needed cash in the business as quickly as possibly so we were desperate sellers.

He won't say anything, and let's be honest he's not some hero in this. Just interesting that they all leave "silenced" about criticising what they have walked away from, but here Suhail has been unprofessional enough to not return the courtesy.
