Jokanavic is a famous slow starter. It takes a while for his idea and style of play to be implemented. Just look at his jobs at Watford and Fulham. Would take him over TM in a heartbeat

He’s criminally underrated by this board. By far the best midfielder we have at the club. While normally I would agree with the 2nd point Rothwell has clearly never become distracted this season - his work ethic has been incredible and he clearly cares and want to win. While I like davenport 2 holding midfielders against a poor Bristol city team is overkill.

Anyone who doesn’t think Rothwell should be starting is crazy. Kaminski Nyambe Lenihan Ayala Pickering rowthwell Travis Buckley Poveda brereton Khadra

I’ll be shocked if Nymabe and Rothwell sign - the writing has been on the wall for a while. Always thought Lenihan would resign mainly because I don’t think he is that great. Wouldn’t be distraught if he left but would need replacing. Nymabe and Rothwell are more important players imo.

Poveda was magical. I thought he was useless until today - now I’d like us to get him on a permanent deal!

Surely this game represents the best opportunity for our fanbase to state their feelings towards Mowbray. Low tickets cost, a landmark club game, and importantly off the back off a 7nil defeat. If Venkys were going to listen to us at any point it would be now and with an international break the perfect opportunity to bring someone new in they may just bite the bullet. We need to make a stand!!! I am at the point where I no longer possess feelings if we win or lose. There is 0 faith in the hierarchy.

I think if we lose against Sheffield then there’s a decent chance he gets the sack

Tbf if Sheffield United can batter us on Saturday they might bite the billet and sack him with an international break to get a new manager in

Nymabe fit is huge hope that’s a midfield diamond rather than false 9.

Agree with this. Without Nymabe and Gallagher in particular (I actually really rate van heck) don’t think we have a chance. however anything can happen and they arnt as unbeatable as you might think.

Your not wrong on Johnson and Tbf I may be being harsh considering he has contributed to two wins from two. I just feel like he is a liability and in a game where we are going to be doing a lot chasing we could do with Davenports fresh legs - I also feel like he is better at playing the simple passes

Lots on injuries going into this game - makes it even more of a free hit than it already was. My team: kaminski bucko - lenihan - van heck - edun travis - davenport - rothwell khadra - dolan - diaz No need to over complicate it here. They are better. They will have the ball. We will have to drop deep. But aslong as we have outlets then we’ll be able to hurt this Fulham side - we have the ability to hit them on the break. My house mate has a season ticket and I often go with his spare so I have seen Fulham a lot this season. So a couple of notes. - give mitro half a chance and he will take it. However he’s likely to miss the blatant 1v1s where he has to think about it. - Their fullbacks are good athletically but on the ball they are actually poor in terms of delivery. - If carvolho is on the bench then it’s a big plus - he is there best player outside of mitro and is still working his way back to full fitness. - without tosin they will be suspect at the back. - seri will control the game even if we stick two players on him! they are a very good side however certainly not unbeatable.

On top of this there’s been mentions of wilder attending our last couple of games.

There’s quite a few rumours on Twitter that TM will be gone by next international break. Was wondering if anyone on this forum had heard anything? Find it so depressing when I can’t even get excited about a win due to a complete lack of faith in the manager. Change is needed!

Imo Rothwell is hands down our best player - the best player I’ve seen at Ewood for quite a while. We will seriously miss him when he’s gone.

I know - very confused as can’t see that we’ve sold out

I live in London and am currently trying to buy tickets for this however I can only find Tickets that include bus/travel fees on the site. I am sure I am just being dumb but where can I just find the match tickets ?

Why did we loan out pike…

Coventry 4-1 up against Fulham … will be an interesting game against them after the international break

2 of the best goals we’ve scored this season. Followed up by the worst - total comedy tho. Dreamland!!!

A good start to the season. Some strong performances. Just outside the playoffs. A good run of fixtures approaching. Only means one thing. Nose bleed. I expect to be left frustrated today by a missed opportunity but will forever be hopeful. If we’re going off the idea that Khadra isn’t fully fit then this has to be the team today. kaminski nymabe Lenihan ayala Pickering travis rothwell dolan butterworth Poveda Diaz subs: Pears, magloire, Edun, Buckley, davenport, Khadra, JRC(fit?).

I’m Ngl I would actually really like Burke. Strong, quick. Played up top for Sheffield United last season and actually impressed. Not interested if it’s a loan tho

This is going to be disappointing isn’t it…

It’s interesting that noises out of the club are positive that a deal for a striker will be reached but there’s literally no names currently floating about.

Right anyone out there ITK heard anything about Maja? Pinning my hopes on him
