Really don't want to see us take it easy protecting the lead and invite late pressure.

Nothing against Hedges but having a very left footed player at RWB is extremely limiting.

Anyone know why our fit again right wingback who has had a decent start to his Rovers career ain't playing and we are using someone out of position instead?

Sky know dick all about Rovers though

Never seen anything like that second goal. Looked like the defender attempted a dive on the edge of his own six yard box and when ref didn't buy it the opponent was left with an open goal. Same player then passed it to opposition for the third. Shane Duffy vibes.

They also had Calvert-Lewin injured and Rondon suspended and also a bit crap and past it, so they have been playing without a striker. If they really wanted him they could have had him pretty easily any time. £15m not even overpriced really

No topic title pun for Mola? It's already been 15 mins since he was announced.

My feed had the Radio Lancs commentary and they were creaming themselves over Wharton. Possibly Ormerod on commentary ranked it as the best debut he had ever witnessed. Think they were positioned with the Rovers fans too as the chants were coming through loud and clear. Enjoyed how we have adopted the Toure chant for the Wharton bros.

Not seen the goal, so perhaps it was unstoppable, but one shot on target and one goal is classic Pears!

I see the BBC have now put out an article on the Brereton bid from Nice. Only a couple of days late, and only three years off regarding his age. Ben Brereton Diaz: Nice make bid of about £8.4m for Blackburn Rovers striker

If Phillips is going to be as good as many believe this is a momentous day in his career. Excited to see it!

Quality reporting from BBC. Doubt even Mowbray would go with this.

Would like to see Dack get 5 mins, personally. Perfect away performance though so far. Quality in attack when chances came and really committed defensively

Not looking overly delighted to see Sammie though. Disclaimer: by the way this is a joke obviously we have no idea what he thinks of the signing!

What is JRC's actual 'natural' position? Because I can't remember him looking comfortable wherever he plays. I'm assuming he has some kind of ability to still be at the club, but he hides it quite well.

He is no wingback, that's for sure.

Both teams hit the bar. Hegdes (I think) 20 yard drive.

My first time seeing Phillips. Doesn't really look out of place physically, but hasn't had a great deal of defending to do. Is he known to be attacking threat from set plays? Won the header for the goal and almost got on the end of a cross before that.

1 -1. poor from pears beaten from 25 yards moved his feet in slow motion

1 - 0. looked like og after phillips won header from corner.

They have some sweet transition effects though. Well, they have one.

What is Johnson's role here? Casual observer?

Bit of a shambles today. Be lucky to make it to HT here without conceding again.

Get JRC off at HT.
