Mark Noble on the maestro https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/14289492.West_Ham_midfielder_Mark_Noble_picks_Blackburn_Rovers_legend_Tugay_in_his_best_XI/

I’m not crying. You are 😍😍

Like being on a freaking roller coaster

Didn’t Bournemouth bring in something ridiculous like 5 players on deadline day in January ? Could be done but unlikely knowing the speed we move at

From Rich Sharpe today, bit of better news on injury front : Scott Wharton remains out with a hamstring problem and has now missed three Championship fixtures. The hope is that the 24-year-old will resume training this week and be fit for the Stoke City game on Saturday. A further defensive boost is set to come in the form of Hayden Carter. Carter hasn’t featured since pre-season because of a hamstring issue but has been back in light training. That will be stepped up this week, but the cup tie may come too soon, leaving Tomasson with a head-counting exercise as to who features in the second round tie.

Watched part of their game last night and they were very good albeit against a 10 man Sunderland. Berge is better than Championship level, and (unfortunately) Ahmedhodzic was immense, though still trying to figure out where he played. Seemed to be anywhere but cb!. Anybody else any idea where he was supposed to be playing?

Not saying those figures are gospel by any means but they give an rough indication of where we stand with our wage structure. And I repeat there will be no way in the world we would be thinking of offering him anything like £10,000. Not even sure where that figures come from unless someone has invented it

If you think we are going to offer Phillips £10,000 a week at just turned 17, there may be a few senior players knocking on the managers door. https://www.capology.com/club/blackburn/salaries/

RIP Lenny 😔😔

Do you risk playing Ayala again on Wednesday though with Sheffield United up at the weekend? Big decision and the last thing we need at the moment is him out for a while

Additions needed before Wednesday

Looks like he’s doing ok as well

Think you need to come in out of the sun now Jim 😎

Agree, just seems to be a scatter gun approach, no way can all these players gel together as quickly as they would like. Dingles doing something similar though not quite on same scale

May have to go with Pickering at cb and Edun in at lb

Think that’s probably because Sarr and Dennis being linked away from them and they want someone in first. Handful like you say but not the greatest goal scorer. Jason Roberts comes to mind

Wonder if it’s just coincidence that a coach like JDT whose believes his biggest priority is to work with and improve the players at the club has seen an upturn in performances. We’ve already seen a big improvement imo in Ryan Hedges from last season and he’s also turned Trav into a goal scoring midfield player.! Take into account Eduns performances and, having watched the whole game on Rovers TV I thought even JRC played well. That’s the difference between a coach like JDT and a manager like Mowbray

Couldn’t be permanent could it ?
