Long flight, plenty of time to try to reduce terms as he is in flight. As with all incomings I don't believe it till I see confirmation from Rovers.

Would you do 2 for 800?

DREAM being the key word, pipe dream in fact Looks pretty quality from the highlights. Yeah we are never getting him.

So in our keeper search, who identifies our keeper targets. Is it our keepr coach Benson? If so I hope he is better at recuiting than he seems to be coaching. Sadly I believe he needs replacing too. Could be just me but looks like our keepers go backwards. Kaminski being most obvious. He did look to go downhill some, most.noticable.was a drop off in his distribution. Was.giod when he came and got to be poor.

Also Hedges taking a page out of Ohashi's book of finishing with that chip. Found meself wondering if he does that had Yuki not done it game previous.

Thankfully he is still 50p head.

What was the name of the young full back came on at Stockport. Duru? Looks like we have a good un there unless we give him away.

The lad.cohld be a monster if he get's up to speed, a real diamond in the rough. Liking him already. Would like to see Ohashi start and the Mac come iff the bench just to see how it works, better yet both of em together, could be lethal.

We seemed to lose control altogether when he went off. For all Norwich's huffin and puffin I thought we had them well marshalled. We have a tendency to get a bit sloppy at bad times in dangerous areas. I am happier with what I have seen than I thought I would be. Biggest blunder so far goes to WAGGOT for trying to low ball on a decent keeper, 400k was it? Nothing in the grand scheme of things and an amount that could be worth ten times that. Cult hero in the making is our Sushi man. Great fuckin goal today, you do not see that much anymore, always loved a diving header. So far the lads and Eustace offer me a little hope.

Henis simply atrocious. He never gets his hands up in time. I loved the dive where he pushed it round the post, trouble is it was already two yards wide and he just dinated a corner to Norwich. We are so limited if we do not uprade significantly in this position. On keepers, I was surprised to see Christian Walton keeping for Ipswich today.

I love this thread. I do not follow it too closely but every once in a while I pop in and pick any page and start reading. Reminds me we were once a proper football club. Puts the Venkies version out of me mind for a bit.

Smart move for Smodics to play. In his 2 shortened games he has looked the part. I would guess it is what made Ipswich finally pull the trigger. Do it now or lose out to someone else.

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?
