Not read this back, so apologies if this name has been mentioned - and he won't happen as it would be too public - but Steven Gerrard is the absolute correct replacement. It won't happen, not only is he strongly linked with going back to Rangers, but "Steven Gerrards Blackburn Rovers" would get far too much media scrutiny and air time for Waggott, Pasha and Venkys to cockroach.

That final 15 minutes were up there with the most embarrassing of the Eustace era. JRC and Forshit coming on - why?At least we gave our marquee signing 5 minutes (+5) to change the game. Chalk one up to poor management.

Kargbo - Cantwell - Cozier-Duberry all on for the 3 amigos of God awful. Weimann is basically the attacking midfield version of Jordan Rhodes - he literally offers nothing in the first 90% of the pitch*, knows where to be in the area - if we get there. Gets carried in games he starts. *You can miss me with the "what about the Burnley goal" retort - that was an obvious one off*

Hedges - Weimann - Dolan That triplet wouldn't scare me if we were in a L1 relegation battle.

11:00pm. Now the real drama begins.

"Option to buy was duscussed" ... and then Forest remembered who they were working with, and decided against such bold negotiations.

Dennis is one many of us suggested back in the early days of January. Can't actually complain about this signing. Can complain about pretty much everything else.

You've outed Waggots January 2025 cunning plan 6 hours early.

It doesn't help that there are a full adult generation of people - the oldest are potentially graduating from University this year - who literally were not even born (Souness) and have no consciousness (Hughes/Allardyce) of anything pre Steve Kean/Venkys. Stockholm syndrome.

"He's magic, you knowwww, his name is Augustus Kargbo!!"

Our first ever Sierre Leonean? And potentially Egyptian, for that matter?

His heading ability must really differ depending on which side the cross comes in from.

50% of them.

So wait, there *was* talk of a team wanting to pay us money for Pears, between £2m and FIVE million pounds, and there were people on here saying we shouldn't do that? Wow. He's been fine, but... WOW. This season is dead in the water. Start Toth, and use the £5m (plus any fictional budget) on the likes of Asgaard, Poku, maybe even Beck? Of course £5,000,000 x 0 is what would get reinvested. Obviously, we knew it was a bullshite link, but saying you wouldn't sell Pears for £2m+ is insanity. He's never going to be worth more than ¼ of that value ever again after this window.

Gueye should technically get an assist for that. The post does not count as external, so the ball went directly to Andi, from his head.

Stand further to the far post in future Pears... basically an open goal. Garbage keeper.

Always forget how dreadful it is to watch games at Bristol City on the TV. 🤢

Massive 2 hours ahead. A win, and we could once again focus on a promotion push end to the window, defeat (or more injuries) and my mindset may change on who/what types of deals we should be hoping/aiming for. Talking loan vs permanent incase anyone assumes I'm being brainwashed. No point loaning a single player or singing any McFadzean, Forshaw or Fleck types if were just going to sink to midtable. All funds (lol) should be on the Poku and Asgaard type players who can be assets for the future.

Which team wins? Injured/Ill XI Pears Carter Batth Wharton Brittain Pickering Travis Tronstad Rankin-Costello Sigurdsson Ohashi --------------- Saturday Likely XI Gueye Dolan Cantwell ACD Buckley Forshaw Beck Hyam Sanderson Hedges Toth

Here comes Adam Foreshit.

Stoke 2.0 Long balls, Long Throws and Corners... Big Frank Lampard. Coventry ShirtPull FC getting exactly what they want here...Their #29 has literally got away with 4 shirt pulls that half. Unreal shit ref, without any real disaster decisions. Not sure what subs I'd make, as I literally don't trust any of the 9 subs to make a positive difference. Maybe the CM can show some urgency and we go forwards more often??

Gueye loves a "Wednesday" night game!

Portsmouth fans are outstanding for what it's worth. Making more noise consistently than Burnley, Leeds and Sunderland did, and literally haven't stopped. Annoying chants, sure, but fair play to them. Also applauded the Wild Rover too. Good club.

JRC for Buckley too!

The very next game after a "Home Sellout" and this is looking like one of the more disastrous attendances of the past decade. Resemblance of a 1st Round League Cup tie vs a L2 team (with 12 mins till KO). YES, I know it's rearranged; a night game just after Xmas; expensive ticket prices; foggy/"cold"; road issues on the M65; and - of course - the Venkys... but damn.
