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” ?

It’s frustrating, waiting so long to get new players in. It’s what happened the last two years, and it surely doesn’t help the team.

Exactly. Everybody involved with the club surely understand the critical nature of obtaining a quality keeper. This could be the season Rovers make a big push at playoffs, or possibly auto promotion, IF we hold onto key players, and improve ourselves at keeper, LB, and CB. if not, we will be just another mid table club in the Championship.

This is true, but it seems to me Mowbray should know this is a critical season, he needs to put up & shut up, or he will be canned. He cannot afford to take any more players on potential. He needs to hit a couple of home runs this time.

Exactly; if it was you or I, or any of us, we would jump on the opportunity. Rhodes, Cairney, Dann, Hanley, Gestede, Duffy, et al, I didn’t begrudge any of those guys for making the most of their chance.

Definitely agreed; the future is now! Add a quality gk, LB & CB to this squad, lose nobody, and this is our playoff push season. If we do not make it, fire sale & I would expect owners should Fire Tony.

No, but 139 pages of carping about the past, Whining about the owners not caring, and moaning about Mowbray, though! ?

Not to mention, getting a true LB and a decent ‘keeper. It can be done!
