Ahh the old Blackburn/rovers debate. dont worry joe I remember my first telling off for Calling us blackburn. I’m from Wigan also and have called us Blackburn from being a kid up until I came across this message board. It definitely is an area thing.

Who is Jamie McConnell and what’s he been saying ?

Ripped jeans ?

The only time I’d seen or heard about him was when I watched the arsenal game and he played very well and stood out. I never heard or saw him before or after that until he rocked up here. That arsenal side (from what I can remember) was quite a weakened side and the majority of his highlights on YouTube etc seem to be playing u23s football. He was brilliant that game but like Tyrone says I remember Danny Cadamartri and many others that have had impressive games to fade to obscurity and whilst I agree he hasn’t been played to his strengths or had a decent run of games he also hasn’t shown anything to warrant an extended run in the side either. He struggles with the basic fundamentals of the game Imo. His first touch is appalling for a start and his body language doesn’t scream of someone trying to prove a point. I seriously think this lads a dud and we arnt going to get anything like the performance he put in against arsenal which will one day be known as his five minutes of fame

I’d be banging on Jamie vardys door selling him the dream of one last tournament with the finals in England to complete the fairytale

Yeah mate

What a player that lad is. Had nyambe in his pocket all game and gave him nothing . One to keep an eye on

Right. I agree with you just naming two local lads that came through to the first team in recent years

I’d class Leigh as local enough as far as bringing through talent goes

I think it’s a really good idea and a nice gesture to give bury supporters tickets. who cares what the unwashed think

Weren’t Henley and Lowe local

The same way you bang on about signing defenders and they arnt coming either

Is this pay on the day

We aren’t capable of either enjoy your trip and three points

If that team can’t get three points at home to Barnsley Were in big trouble

Rather Nyambe played but no issue with that line up. Over to the players

Exactly. if he was a first team player then it’s understandable, possibly if he was a top youth prospect also but he is neither. he couldn’t get in a team that had Antonsson in his position in league 1 ffs. ive never seen him do anything when he has played AT LEAGUE 1 LEVEL OR SECOND STRING LEAGUE 2 TEAMS IN THE CUP. WHY the hell is he still here when we have chapman, Holtby, Rothwell, butterworth, costello, Armstrong, downing and even Bennett who are all far better and that’s before you consider his weak (insert injury) and two years out the game. He will never in a million years even make the bench The club is rotten from top to bottom and most likely corrupt. Jobs for the boys. Sick to death of it. The whole place stinks and not because we can’t afford to clean the toilets due to paying this waster.

Who is this Brereton wonder kid people are talking about ? He never plays in the first team, is he any good ?

I know we got beat but the united game under Coyle. I was certainly shocked how well we played

When they set the “European scouting system” up did they know about brexit because technically we are still European. Maybe that’s what they meant all the way from India. we have set a European scouting system up, let’s start scouring Britain for players we can sell off at a profit. God the whole thing is heartbreaking and depressingly tedious i can’t even write a joke that makes sense

Well that was a dull, paint drying training exercise. Thank god we Armstrong and co Saturday for some real entertainment

It’s an absolute no brainier that Evans needs moving on and davenport could easily fill that slot. i personally think davenport is a better all round player than Evans with the added bonus of potential and would like to see him anchor the midfield and give travis a bit more liscence to roam forward. If I was the manager that would be the first change I would make and let them build an understanding and proper partnership. Especially whilst this season is virtually over.

Jesse lingard And dele alli have to go in that catagory

ITs a rebuilding job that gets bigger every window. Give him TIL Xmas and the January window and then see how we get on until summer then the rebuild is finally complete and we will have what we need. A young capable squad to compete and give it a right good go in league 1. I think the problem is the fans. They expected championship play offs when he waffled about top six. Shame on you all

I know how everybody loves to debate what the definition of a six pointer is so I shall kick it off early barnsley ?
