We will struggle early on, I have no doubts about that. Even if Kaminski is the real deal, & Dacky is in the 11 relatively soon, the defending has not been shored up. So we start out one foot in the hole.

Can’t wait to hear what everybody thinks of Fisher today. YES!!! There it is

C’mon, defend now!

Needed that!

Rovers warming to attack. Tony must be happy, we’re winning possession 74%, lol

Keep talking it up, it’s encouraging me. I can only assume BBC lineup guys aren’t in right places. Or Mowbray is mad scientist

I’m giddy with excitement; 4-1 and 3-1 wins, I don’t care if it Friendlies in League 1, 2, National League, NW Counties, or Sunday’s. Blackburn Rovers are winning. It beats losses and ties all hollow.

Bennett? He’s certainly forgettable

Dolan!

I am not familiar with Pike...

Anybody here feel slightly more charitable towards BB, or is today vs a League 1 side his standard? whatever it is, I’m glad to see him get a brace. AA has had three solid chances, and couldn’t deliver the goods.

1-2, bah Wharton’s fault?

What are you drinking, and is there any of it left, lol

BB is playing like he reads Brfcs, and wants to prove us wrong, ha

I got my wish!

Fisher jR-c, Lenihan, Wharton, Bell Travis, Johnson, Holtby, Chapman BB, AA

What I would love to see today: No injuries; Dolan continue to impress; Tight defending; BB goal (no SG tonight).

Glad to get the new season underway. Nice seeing Dolan contribute in his first runout

Thanks!

Score?

Thanks for all the comments!

I made this point earlier (p. 211). This was the issue last year, and it is the same problem again. It just appears the club wants to put a band aid on the same problem every year. It is slipshod, careless, and definitely not planning for the future to go after loaners every year.

Re: getting a gk as soon as you realize you need one: We saw what happens last year when you get a loaner gk at the 11th hour, almost as an afterthought. Not pretty. It’s just not proper planning, or looking to the future. It’s just a patchwork job, that must be continually fixed or replaced.

We were 14th in goals allowed. From that, we lost our gk & a centre-back- both returned to parent clubs. We released our other 1st team gk. We have one experienced centre-back. It’s less than a month until our opening game. So, what do we see on the official club website? Uniforms. Apparel. We’re interested in looking pretty, over actual Performance on the pitch. Unreal. You can’t make this stuff up.

Whenever we sign whoever, he will acknowledge Blackburn “is a massive club” ?
