It’s under the flat globe

Hahaha…good one!

This sums it up. He can’t see how bad Sam has been, thinks he could score 20+ played as a center forward but continues to play him wide. ”The Rovers boss even hinted that Gallagher could be in line to replace Brereton Diaz should the Chile international leave the club this summer. “I played Sam down the middle and usually play him on the right and ask him to run those channels and get in at the back stick from balls coming in from the other side,” said Mowbray, via Lancashire Telegraph. “I’m pleased for him that he scored, it was a good finish. He scored a good header at the back stick against Derby a couple of games ago, so he can score goals. “Maybe for this football club, if Brereton gets sold in the summer, whether he does or he doesn’t is another issue but he’ll be in the last year of his contract, and if that’s something that happens then someone is going to have to step up. “Maybe Sam Gallagher is the player that can turn into the 20-goal a season striker as Brereton did on the back of Armstrong leaving.”

I think this is pretty spot on. They lads were very poor. Rothwell has been a drain since January. Have to image 9 of Gally's 20 came on the control, and the goal. The rest of his game was disappointing. In my mind, taking into account opponent, it was one of the, if not the worst performance of the season. Sure, we got trounced by Fulham, but they actually have good players

He nearly gave them 2 goals in the first half getting caught in possession.

I’d rather him play the first 45 and make an impact than the last 30, when we’re chasing the game against sides with 11 behind the ball

Owners look to save 10 million quid on those promotion bonuses. Somehow I doubt those funds will be reinvested in the club.

Have we had a worse transfer window than this past January? Zeefuik injured since, Markanday injured since, Hedges out of his level, Giles played as a right winger. Passed on a center forward even though we knew BBD will be sold and miss games on international duty. Rothwell kept when he clearly had checked out.

Embarrassing. Lack of effort, skill and plan.

The tactics from the start were miserable. Hoofing it long the entire first half. Not a player came out the second. Black pool the better side, we’re lucky not to be losing

Buckley should play over Rothwell from here on out. This has been one of the worst performances of the season.

When he didn’t play in the Luton game, had to be shipped off. He left then whether we sold him or not.

Should have sold him when we had the chance

No

Buckley, Giles and Dack all need to be brought on. Pickering, Dolan and Rothwell off

Been coming.

Rothwell has been really poor. Remember when he was the best player on the pitch 5 months ago?

Agreed the goal is masking how poor we’ve been. That and black pool are a real bad side. Our tactics are hoofing it long, and hoping to run into it. The middle of the park is non existent.

Hard to watch us thump it long time and time again. Rothwell and Travis total passengers.

We’ve been shite so far. Lucky not to be 2 down

Don’t fancy a clean sheet, do we’re going to need at least one more

No loss really. Wish he’d have taken Gallagher with him

To his credit, he sees Gallagher on the team sheet week in and week out and must know he’s been no worse

I read this, but if you look on line long enough you can find just about anything https://www.newschainonline.com/sport/mens-sport/football/deyovaisio-zeefuik-and-tayo-edun-pushing-for-blackburn-return-against-blackpool-263940

Seems like Lenihan and Naymbe will not be fit. That helps TM as we will surely play with a back 4. I’d go: Kamenski Zeefuik JVH. Wharton. Pickering Rothwell. Travis Dolan. Dack. Giles Diaz
