Comfortably numb

Judging by the albeit early signs, that seems to be the case.

Leave him. He's just a bit touchy we're not signing Whiteman

Unnamed Irish player tests positive for covid 19. No Williams in 18 ☹️☹️

Jim Smith always said that pound for pound Waggy was his best ever signing.

Tommy K called up to Belgium squad against England

Everyone assumed he would be an upgrade on Bell - he isn't.

He was woeful, got to be better premier league loans out there. I know Luke James has been mentioned also Baba Rahman from Chelsea available. Both would be far better than Alesaami

Watched Alesaami for part of the game, I"m not somebody who normally slags players off, but he made Bell look like like Roberto Carlos. Nothing positive I can say at all except that there's still time to get a good loan in instead.

Just watched the first 15 mins of Norways game to have a quick look at Alesaami and gave to say was not impressed at all,. Got caught out positionally a couple of times and should have given away a stone wall penalty after a wild hack on an opposition player. Judging from what I saw a good quality loan would be the better move

BREAKING NEWS Nottingham Forest can confirm that the contract of head coach Sabri Lamouchi has been terminated with immediate effect. Just in time for us playing them next match

Exactly, no way in a million years could we have afforded either wages.

For over a month I have been playing with the idea of Haitam Aleesami for Rovers. The one position where Rovers must bring in a new player. Would have been perfect for both Rovers and Aleesami. Hope there will be some of this. Quote Tweet Stian André de Wahl @StianWahl · 2h Blackburn are chasing the signature of Haitam Aleesami.

There’s a difference between making a team look poor (which we did) and them being a poor team

You mean the poor Derby team that won away at Norwich today?

Seriously if there was ever a time for Rovers to gamble slightly on new recruits it's now. Also please, all Rovers fans who haven't renewed yet, think again the club needs support now on and off the field more than ever

Only 1 more game before the break though and hopefully have 2 or 3 back by then.

Keep up the criticism, always seems to work? Anything else to say 3-0

I'm just happy we're still in the market for a lb. It was beginning to sound as if TM was happy going with Bell for the rest of the season. I agree with a lot of people on here, were not that far short of being in with a real shout this season if we recruit well

Playing hypothetical, assuming TM has approx 1.5m to play with, which is not an unreasonable guess. If he needs say minimum of 2 players, ie a lb and either keeper back up or Travis cover, a signing on fee of £200,000 - £250,000 per player should leave enough for salaries of around £10,000 pw which again is probably about where Rovers are. Or is that too simplistic?

Fair point! Still an option worth consideration though imo

Don’t quite get this, surely there is a 3rd option besides spending and loans and that’s using the free agent market? Ayala hopefully is proof of the quality available atm. Not sure if free agents are entitled to signing on fees or not though?

What area could possibly need strengthening before lb? Don't get that at all, know Travis is a miss but we do have alternatives there.

Barry Douglas then?
