Was he poor against United? Rose tinted beer goggles maybe, but I thought his movement got him into some great positions (won free kick that got their lad sent off, and should have had the defender that brought him down off too, should have finished a move where he found good space also) and it encouraged us to play on the deck a bit more - allowing us to control the midfield a lot better than usual. Similarly I thought he held people off, popped it off well and got in behind etc in his cameo against WBA, perhaps a question of the intensity in some closing down. Fair dos I do look for the best in our players but I think poor is a stretch, he was decent. -edit- same with Smallwood prior to sending off at Bramall Lane. Played well for me.

I’m still giving him a chance anyway. Would like him to start against barcodes.

He's played 28 games this season according to transfermarkt? Looks a big lad.

It’s from the transfer generator! ? Love it

Leuts Lenihan Grayson Mulgrew Bennett Reed Rothwell Travis Bell Armstrong Brereton That would get the job done I think and give some lads a run out.

Nickoette - Battle for Charlie Mulgrew between West Brom and Brighton, could see bids up to 10 million. Complicated deal though.

I agree he should keep his place, but you know I prefer Smallwood to Evans! I think Travis will work better with a bit more license to move forward/around and be the ball player. Drop Evans I say!

Don’t really know what you are suggesting, but if Dack wanted us to lose games then he really should stop being our best player and scoring all the time. It was just stupid. The kind of robust body challenge that he does really well in the middle of the park, but over eagerness had him in a position he shouldn’t have been. He’s very lucky we didn’t melt down afterwards.

Just gossip, but wouldn't surprise me. Chansiri is absolutely crackers and their fans will rejoice at selling their history for a couple of journeyman signings.

Rumour going round that they are selling Hillsborough to raise the cash.

Don’t mean to hammer it home, but they both started at Sheffield United, and played well together.

You read the full set of quotes or listened to the interviews? Short of giving him a blowie on the press room desk I’m not sure how much more you want? What? Who knows?!!? If he drops him for Evans or Smallwood now then I think everyone will be right to question why. But criticism should usually be able to be levelled without just making shit up. Just checking btw... but you DO know that it’s Mowbray who has been picking him for the last few games? Who gave him his debut etc?

Sycophantic? Your assertion that TM was made to “look stupid” was based upon the idea that Smallwood’s suspension forced his hand - it’s just factually incorrect. It wasn’t just you that is trying to make the performance of a young player somehow a failing of TM. Of course by calling out obvious bullshit I definitely want Travis out on loan - well deduced. Quite flattered you remember me though, I’ll keep my eye out for you in return.

Travis started against Sheffield United FYI. But carry on everyone, Mowbray is stupid etc.

“It’s about taking opportunities when they come your way, and Trav has certainly taken his chance. He’s in the forefront of our minds. “I’ve had lots of conversations with Trav, and lots of conversations with probably about half a dozen managers who would like to take him on loan. “We’ll see how it goes. The fact that he’s in the team and helping us win suggests that he’s worth keeping.” https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2019/january/tony-thrilled-for-terrific-travis/ Seems like TM agrees.

Hate to break it to you mate but it’s the 1st today.

https://www.skysports.com/football/blackburn-vs-w-brom/392844 Do think the sending off was well bought, but would it have even mattered anyway?

I’m daft. Had already mentally spent the money too.

My player of the season last year, and although limited in some ways he brings a huge amount to the team. But 5m for a 30yr old utility player? I’ll believe it when I see it. edit obviously I’m joking ?

I’d be astonished if he stays till the end of the season. He’ll probably walk.

Excellent tactically today to drop the midfield into a proper bank of four when we were expecting to lose our shit. Everyone knew what they were doing, and reduced the usual panic. Two strikers to press, harry, hold up and run the channels. Great game management that was getting him calls for the sack in the match thread.

Looked that way to me too. Keeper lashed out.

We’ve gone to 4-4-2. Looks ok. Players seem comfortable. But no sack him ffs

Couple more and we’ll be on for a decent point

Fantastic goal
