Refs just giving corners to Bristol out of no where

Seems we’re done. Maybe we can convince BBD to sign a contract, though I have no idea why he would. Set to make much more as a free in the summer. Yet another player leaving for free.

We were never going to pay £4 million for him. That’s why he was never really a target.

Except he could sign a pre contract in January.

Already been rejected. Still bet he’s not here come Friday. https://insidefutbol.com/2022/08/31/fulham-bid-for-ben-brereton-diaz-rejected-by-blackburn-rovers/577053/

Played backwards way too much in the first 15. More passes to Kamenski than forward. Once we started finding outlets the game changed.

We were on the back foot to start but black pool didn’t create any chances.

Except the square touch to Morton in the first 10 that lead to an opportunity

Replay shows a clear foul

Clear penalty. Seems to happen to us every week

Dacky needed to put his boot through that. Trying to guide it into the far post.

Pickering needs to know we changed directions at half.

Or Vale or Buckley…really anyone else.

Excellent ball from Dack for the goal. Cool finish by BBD. Travis doesn’t have the pace for a right back, but miles better than JRC. Center back pairing looks solid. We don’t really have a true center forward at the club. Dolan not getting it done, but not sure there an alternative

They say forest offered £3 million and it was rejected. Hard to see us offering more

Poveda available for Blackpool tonight...cant wait to watch him walk around the pitch not giving a toss in a different jersey.

Id guess we line up: Kamenski Carter Ayala Hyam Pickering Travis Morton Hedges Markanday Diaz Dack Don't particularly like Dack as a false 9 and would rather see BBD through the middle but options are limited.

Understand his contract is up at the end of the season. If that’s the case and he hasn’t signed a long term deal, could be a trail then a free if he works out. Edit- just seen Sharpes post on his new deal. Loan with option

Also the Ref was shite

Should have had a penalty and the ref twice stopped play when we were in on goal.

Deserved a point, but played so poorly in the first half can’t really complain about the result. Kamenski should have done better on their goal, but to be fair Stoke should have had 2 or 3 in the first half. Wharton looks a real player, Dack still has something left. Hedges finding good spaces. So some positives. need a left back and a right back. JRC isn’t cover and Buckley might be behind Wharton on todays performance

We deserve at least a point with our play this half.

Hedges playing great. Wharton looks at home in the middle

much worse. Minus 2 players in the first division in BBD and Rothwell and 2 players to championship sides and depth with championship experience. Added 2 players from league 2 + one from championship and kids with no championship experience to fill the squad

As long as we dont have matched behind closes doors due to a global pandemic, we shouldn't have the need again.
