Bizarre substitution? Unless he's been injured, he was only on the bench on the first leg I noticed. Whatever, get him signed !

Like the look of Thierry Small tonight. Playing down the right hand side, very positive and theres a buzz among the crowd when he's involved. Need to get the ball to him more often

Going back a bit further but I loved Chris Price. The original Duracell bunny, just never stopped runninh

Think this ship has sailed tbh... Can't see it.. https://c.newsnow.co.uk/A/1273038761?-11198:839

Derby and Rovers. Who would've thought it ? 😄

Agreed, just think we could pick up a CB on a free agent basis . Batth and Fadz proved there are plenty out there if you know where to look

Not for me at that price. If the budget is limited, as we expect, then we have bigger priorities elsewhere.

Isn't he a left back, or lwb ? Can't see it with Ribeiro and Pickering here and Powell also. Unless they let Pickering go ?

Really disappointed to hear this, really thought he was going to establish himself in the team but the injuries have been so cruel to him Good luck Zac https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/25146680.zak-gilsenan-depart-blackburn-rovers-end-deal/

Excited more than nervous today, as opposed to the final game of last season when I couldn't listen to or watch the game. Ended up taking the dog for a walk ! Hope for the best though. May not be the blades strongest side but Hamer and O'Hare are two top players and a real threat

More from the RoversXtra account on Travis

VI obviously sees something in Forshaw that a lot don't. Have to say I don't think he's been as bad as some people state, think there was an agenda against him from the start. Cover for Trav and Sonny is fine by me (as long as we get those 2 tied down) https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/25123501.blackburn-rovers-boss-drops-hint-contract-lion/

The point Richards makes about always looking for a positive ball rather than going sideways is so true. So proud of this guy, just wish we could have enjoyed him a while longer https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/25123338.lineker-says-blackburn-fans-know-wharton-display/

Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets can't be beaten imo

Rovers in talks with Batth over new contract https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/25119556.blackburn-rovers-make-contract-decision-danny-batth/

Blackburn in Batth talks New 13 minutes ago By Alan Nixon Blackburn Rovers are in talks to keep veteran centre half Danny Batth for a further season. Batth is out of contract in the summer but has been outstanding during his stay at Ewood Park. Boss Valerien Ismael is keen to hold on to experienced Batth as he looks to build on his opening spell at the club. Rovers also have Tyrhys Dolan out of contract but he seems open to other offers and may see what is out there before committing.

Liverpool target Wharton New 11 minutes ago Exclusive By Alan Nixon Liverpool are ready to try to tempt Adam Wharton to quit Crystal Palace in a £50 million plus swoop. The Kop transfer team are focusing on the outstanding midfield talent whose passing could make Arne Slot’s team tick. Wharton has established himself as a Premier League player of real promise since his move from Blackburn Rovers. And Wharton’s ability to see the picture and deliver quick balls to attackers has marked him out as a future elite star. Liverpool are keen to land him and Wharton could be interested in a return to his native north west. However the snag will be whether Wharton gets enough game time to keep him on an upward path. Wharton has been frustrated by injuries this season and that has restricted his appearances in a campaign that should have seen him take off for club and country. If Liverpool can sell a plan to him, especially with Champions League football available, then Wharton may take the chance. Palace are already facing a siege for their players this summer and will demand a huge fee for the Dougie Freedman discovery. Blackburn are due 15 per cent of the profit over the £18 million Palace paid for their home grown hero in January 2024. Bayern Munich and Real Madrid are also admirers of Wharton but he has not played often enough this season to make those interests concrete.
