Is 22k not exactly the same figure as allegedly offered Lenihan? Mmmm?

Me, I'd just glass him, say nowt. Well maybe not, back in the day perhaps but nor now

We did but AA was a one trick pony Sammi is by far a better all around player.

I doubt big mac and Ohashi combined will reach Sammiesque numbers. Let's live in hope though.

No, he is not. Not a patch on SS not yet anyway. An interesting and somewhat exciting aquisition but you can hold off talking in the same breath as SS until he notches 30 in a season.

Very sad to see this lad go. A great pro and a credit to his sport. That finish from Pickerings chip was insane and we will miss that quality of finisher. Good for him and I wish him well. Thing is over the years Rovers have sold or lost or given away star players and here we are still Blackburn Rovers. The biggest single threat to this club is not players leaving but the ones doing the selling, our owners. I will be pasified if we are allowed to bring in some quality but I have real doubts. Good luck Sammi Szmodics and thanks for the memories. You will tear it up and we will all be asking how you got away so cheap.

How does one deduce from body langauge WHY someone is pissed off.

I would have Yuki on ahead of Big Mac he has more about him. Mac is a good plan B option off the bench.

Even if Ipswich come straight down if Sammi signs he will still get premier league exposure. If he shows well then he will have other suitors when Ipswich return to the championship. No doubt Tractor boys will recoup more than they spent on him too

I am in the bad coach camp. Just seems odd all our keeper regress, get worse instead of better and most of them over the last several seasons have shown a tendency to stay on their line. Keeper coach needs to be replaced but he won't be.

Just watched the replay, some of the criticisms seem unjust. Yes County were decimated and a weak squad we did however go about this very professionally. I have seen us do worse against worse. Big Mac looks the part and I think his finishing will get better as he gets up to speed. Yhat said again I think the critics are being harsh. What was it 3 or 4 attempts and one goal, would have been 2 but he tried to play Osashi(love this guy already)in when he probably should have gone for goal. Anyway one goal in 3 attempts not bad at all. Unlike Gally this lad can actually get off the ground he showed more control in two games than I saw from Gally in 10. I am not going to get carried away only 2 games against relatively poor opposition but hey we did win both handsomely and with a bit of style. To be fair a lot of posters myself included thought flair is something we would not see under Eustace. I really really hope Sammi stays. I did not bear any songs encouraging him to stay or songs deriding Ipswich. Should be going full tilt n boogie to let him know he is loved here. If he keeps this up so eone is going to come in and out bid Ipswich. What a delightful chip from Pickering to set up SS for his 2nd.

I think he is unless JDT is in charge. Just how many modern players are totally commited to the clubs they play for. How many of them would stay and not be kissing another clubs badge within a week if their pay was doubled. Sad but true. Not to go on and pollute the thread but I just gave a moments thought to the many many players for Rovers in the time I watched em. The majority sticking around most of their careers. ,The Faz's, Parkes, Garner and the ilk.

What you.making?

Echo that. My early memories of Trav were a player who would win the ball turn and surge forward. Was then dropped and when he re-appeared here comes the sideways and back game. I saw one instance of old Trav yesterday hope to see.more. I agree with Merc on Trav.

Quite possible, I have my doubts though.

I had thought that too, bit harsh, but he gives me zero confidence. The one he let go that hit the bar could have just as easy gone in. Pears totally misjudged that one too. Kad needs to go for his sake also. New place might do him some good.

70 mins might be being generous. Great early on and a lovely aware finish. Keep that up and he will be deserving if his contract. Still room for improvement and I think he will Really nice.to have subs used so friggin effectively. Looked like a genius for that. Long may it continue

Lovely goal by Osashi nice chip. Pears just scares me to death. Good save from the corner but he really invited it with his positioning. Wins a win, some good spots and some not so good at all. Happy enough for now.

Never seen Gally cuhion one on the thigh like big mac there.

Not liking #1 at all. So low ball bidding is the new method of not signing players, I suppose the late fileing 2 windows in a row meeded a new strategy. We could have had a new keeper but we were never serious just window dressing to deflect bs away from Maggot. No idea how this one goes but I am not confident. Will watch out of some form of morbid curiosity.

I Know, good eh.

Instructions to opponents forwards if it was.me would be shoot on sight and someone always follow the shot cos Pears has about a 70-30 chance of passing it to a forward in scoring position. His poor goalkeeping for sure affects our back line.

Surely Eustace was aware of JDT's problems and why he left. Why did he think he would be special and have it any different.

I hope you pooch recovers fully.

I wish we had kept him here, I like this kid.
