I’m expecting goals from both sides tonight. Both goals we conceded against Cambridge were from simple knock downs. Wrexham are direct and we’ll struggle against their big lads. 4-3 Rovers 😀

They’re averaging 29,000 attendances in the league and have wealthy owners. They had an attendance of 27,200 against a National League South side on Saturday. Decent priced tickets and an engaged fan base = high attendances. Take note, Steve Waggott.

Totally Wicked @ Ewood Park 🤢

We’ve had to bargain with a league two club over £500k, we have no chance in signing Morgan Whittaker. Plymouth signed him at the start of the season for £1m, since then he’s scored 15 goals and got 6 assists. Have some of you started your Friday drinking early?

Good or bad news? 🫣

So he’ll be at Southport or Bamber Bridge next season 😄

I’m surprised we’ve not managed to shift Lennie Cirino? Has barely featured for the U21’s this season and no news on him leaving anytime soon.

Here’s a link to the Rovers section of the podcast. I’ve shared it from 17:20, this is the start of the talk about us. Kieran Maguire mentions his source has told him about the unpaid £26m tax bill, as mentioned by other posters.

The 72 article is just a re-hash from an Athletic article. The Athletic’s MLS reporter Tom Bogert reported this on the 22 January 2024.

Nixon was right after all…they did make a bid. He got the amount wrong of course 🤣

Ornstein is always spot on with his news. Nice to see that we’re aren’t just rolling over and letting him go for peanuts. People like Daniel Levy will be trying to use our situation to get a discounted price. Let’s get as much as possible and hopefully re-invest a few million on the squad.

He even did the Paul bow, love it 👏🏻

“Crystal Palace have bid for Blackburn midfielder Adam Wharton. The South London Press understands the Eagles have submitted a £15million permanent offer for the 19-year-old. More to follow…”

O’Riordan looks a threat in the opposition box from corners and set pieces. He’s scored three goals this season. I think it’s something we really lack, apart from Scott Wharton we don’t have any other players who offer anything in the box from set pieces. But we play short corners anyway, so it doesn’t really matter…

Nice to see our Klarna application has been accepted 😊

Similar to Telalovic, no real first team experience at a decent level. We’re banking on JDT to work his magic and turn them into a championship player. We need players who can make an impact immediately, or we’ll slowly fall down the table and into league one.

Fair enough, wasn’t aware he actually met with the club. I thought it was agreed and then the player told Brighton no. He would have played virtually every game until the end of the season. So I wonder what he was told to make him turn us down?

He would have been a brilliant signing. It was all agreed between the clubs but Undav wanted to stay and fight for his place at Brighton. He went on to make 22 appearances and scored 5 premier league goals. You can’t really put the blame on GB for him not signing.

Should get the kids with signs to double down and make more. Imagine Waggott’s face if they gave away a shirt 😂

Jackson mentioned in the LT that Rovers could attempt to get James Hill back towards the end of January. He’s starting against Liverpool today, so I there’s no chance that’s happening.

Juke is very handy in the air, but that’s about it. He’d be great to have for set pieces in both boxes, but I don’t think he’d be a great replacement for Gallagher. I remember Juke being a handful at Ewood last season and bossing Phillips in the air for an assist.
