No they aren't, both play in the middle. We miss that biting midfielder to compliment Travis and Rothwell, so it is a viable question to pose. No need for a personal dig my friend. Only a message board and it's only a question of which youngster is better....

Who's better Garret or Bucko? I know who I'd prefer in there....

Not sure my view will have any affect on him. My opinion is that he's come in at the right time, timing can be everything in football. He has a lot to add to his game and it might need to be away from here on loan.

He wasn't even the best 18 year old at PNE that got released.....lucky lucky lad

Yep, a disgrace. The lad isn't even a proper professional, nice lad but fecking limited to death as a player. Shocking

Should make a decent flat back four, better than our normal line uo

Apprentices did that when I was a 16 year old. Gareth Ainsworth scrubbed our facilities down Ewood when he was a lad, if its good enough for him.

Tell em we want Eze this way on loan...😁😁

I'm sure there is a more up to date way without that carbuncle

Not to mention the threadbare grass in front and that ugly grey box thing....🤷‍♂️ trees need cutting back a bit and tidying up ...

Forget Ewood look at the state of that bird shit, paint , needs a right clean up beginning of the season aswell. shameful

Are we not allowed contentious? Jeez man.🤷‍♂️ You're in danger of sanitising it a bit too much.

But we won't Joe as you know, so the best deal.for us as fans is for Armstrong to stay and score 25 goals again. He can go on a free next year for me.

Bradley Johnson always starts the season well so I'd stick him in the midfield ahead of Bucko.....whichever way you slice it, it's looking bleak

No defensive cover in midfield there...all forward thinking we will get mullered in midfield, and with no pace at the back any decent team will carve us open evrrytime. We need a tackler in midfield who is happy to sit a bit...

I think I just want Mogadon gone and any good stuff I don't want to hear about till he fecks off....

JP wasn't let go. PG has been in Scandinavia for a bit....I hate to say it, but 2 good additions in my opinion

Looks like we are trying to have all ex nobbers at the academy. Another good lad Paul Gray has come in. Good coach, known him for a while.

No difference at Ewood...unless @riggeris giving it large to Mogadon

Proves nothing.

Might have something to do with JP coming in, might be a shift in power over there...maybe a conflict there...

As it stands, they, the owners put in 20m per season. I'm unaware of further borrowing apart from obvious working short term finance like purchases of equipment perhaps, to ease cash flow etc etc ......but in terms of real funding I'm not sure we will be borrowing to pay wages etc.... Which years accounts show all this borrowing? And how do you know what the rates were?

Money is cheap to borrow at the moment and their credit rating will be fantastic, why would they borrow money at a high rate? Doesn't make sense.

They pump money in directly from the group. They don't get a loan to do that, their overall group performance over the last 18 months has actually been phenomenal, they make vaccines for fucks sake. The losses will be moved across the group by a good accountant and off set against profit somewhere else. Its not a problem for them to bung us 5m here and there....they are billionaires. If we get up I bet they'd spend, but stupidly.

Yep, we are just like Brentford and our new left back is just like theirs.....🙄
