Kaminski's distribution was awesome, a feature of his game. I honestly can't remember when we had a keeper with that accuracy, certainly none with more

Jason Steele. That pass to Emmes against Wigan. But everything else in regards to keeping the ball out of the net, he was terrible. 

Never wanted that Kipre fella anyway

What has Armstrong been having for breakfast the past 6 weeks? Looks like a totally different player. 

Wheatabix of course! 

Think it may be some sort of a silver lining Evans injury, abeit unfortunate. Gives Davenport the opportunity now, little bit similar to Travis when Smallwood got a three game ban this time last year.  

Definitely need a left back and keeper in January. 

Is there any decent players in the prem who aren’t getting a look in and could perhaps arrive on loan? Something similar to what Villa did with Mings? Fulham the other year with Mitrovic?

What’s this ‘Oh this is where history repeats itself, under the lights?’

The majority of this team performed under the camera’s during the league 1 campaign.

Not to mention this is a new season and a completely different mentality. The past two games we would have lost, quite heavily. Looking forward to this game and can see us winning comfortably. Things are starting to click into place as well as the whole squad playing a part. 

Strengthen in Jan and who knows where we’ll end up come the end of the season.  

Just seen the pictures of the last training session. 

Noticed that they’ve put pictures of Bererton, Davenport and Chapman along with Graham. 

Maybe Tony’s freshening things up?

Would prefer Davenport and Chapman to replace Johnson and Downing in the first 11

Nyambe amongst our best performers again 

Yet he’s only played two matches this season because he needs to learn from Elliott ?

Round pegs in square holes. How unbalanced is this side?

Got an striker on the right who seemingly gets picked every week yet offers next to nothing. 

Got an ageing player in the left who’s far more suited to a midfield three. 

Less we talk about the defence the better.

Cant see an improvement from Tony anymore.  

Bad news that Lenihan is out for 2 months or more. 

Terrible from Tony and the club not to sign any proper defenders. Everyone knew that our defence was poor but nothing was done properly to address the issues. How we lament PNE signing Bauer now, that’s exactly what we needed. Some bloke who lives for heading the ball! 

Lenihan hasn’t played a full season for us, probs could say that he’s injury prone. Williams, Bell, and Bennett not up to the correct standard etc. 

Can see us going for a back 5 due to the weakness in our squad and to have a place for his Majesty Elliott. Although I do think this is probably our strongest first 11 now  

                           Walton

              Nyambe  Tosin  Del

Bennett                                  Downing

             Travis          Johnson

                            Dack (False nine)

     Gallagher.                  Armstrong

Also keep an eye out on a deal for skrtel. Talks with us and rangers

Can’t see that happening with Gerrard pals act. 

Just now, blackburnravers.com said:

 

Offt imagine that! 

     Adam    Downing 

               Johnson 

Cracking central midfield next season. 

Seems like Gally is more or less a done deal after Che Adams joining Southampton today pushing him further down the pecking order  

Where have the rumours for Fraser Forster come from? Or has some just said that he’ll be a good addition?

Assombalonga, Downing, McNair, Chapman, Smallwood, Adam Clayton. Players Mowbray has signed or we have been strongly linked too... He quacking loves Middlesbrough doesn't he!!

Is there anyone else at Boro who we can want? Gestede? Flint? Ayala? Friend? Randolph? 

Think bigger Tony!

Wouldn’t mind Flint and Ayala. Big 6ft Footers!

if only Gestede was the player a few years ago. Shame how it’s turned out for him.

One of four teams mentioned as interested in Paddy McNair

Can see this happening to be fair. Improves the spine of the team, plus a few of our players are from the North East which could persuade him to sign?

Plus if he’s available for 3 mill or so that isn’t too bad

Just now, RoversClitheroe said:

Not even Rhodes who was banging goals in for fun couldnt even get into the Scotland. I see the comment as relatively void.

Tom Cairney too

Think the potential new signing is that O’Neill. Hasn’t he been linked with us quite a bit in the past few days, plus he’s over here on ‘holiday’ too

Just now, AllRoverAsia said:

Is he a reliable Twit?

Of course. It’s not like Twitter and wannabe journalist regurgitating past rumours for a few likes. 

Seems like Lenihan is definitely off then.

Agree completely. 

Should be the number one target. Bauer might have only been considered a backup option and that's fair enough. So TM surely must have a top target that we are chasing?

I too agree. Plus Tony has come out and said that Hanley who happens to be an solid experienced centre that he’s not the top target which I think he’s lined up better centre half’s?

Don’t think we can judge/moan about potential signings for at least 4 weeks yet.

Who knows what players may come through the building? 

Just now, ChrisPriceBaldSpot said:

Sam Byram from West Ham.. Same bloke that has said about Hugill is saying we are interested in him too. 

Wouldn't mind those two coming in. 

 

Where has he said that? Can’t find it on Twitter.

Can see this happening! How many players do we have from the North East?

Danny Graham will have to get a mini-bus at this rate ferrying everyone from Yarm and the surrounding areas to Brockhall all week!

Who's Brett? 

Rovers spent £7.6m on transfers last summer. 

Mowbray has already denied the Hart story, thankfully. 

Britt (Assambolonga)

He denied it a few weeks ago, but if he’s come onto the market in the past few weeks? Which other experienced keeper would we like in? Think Hart is a better option than Carson or Fielding. 

Hopefully it’s all good news coming back from India budget wise. 

Only concern this summer is Sheffield United coming back in for Lenihan. 

I do like the prospect of Gally coming back. He was more than decent for us the season we went down. Seems like Tony sees potential in him and can improve him, also he’s good friends with a number of the players anyways so isn’t going to rock the boat in the dressing room, whereas maybe Brett might do?

For all the talk about Bretherton, wasn’t the deal up to 7 mill with certain add ons etc?

I believe the main players we need to sign this summer is someone what can dictate play from the centre of the park plus a good quality keeper and centre back. What would people’s thoughts be on Hart? Seems like he’s on his way out after Pope signed a new deal.  

Just noticed Sheff Utd have placed Ben Heneghan on the transfer list. 

Someone we may be interested in seeing as we wanted him two seasons ago? Or is he simply not cut out for the championship?

And what would people think of us going after Scott Hogan?

Both of the Olsson twins, Timm Klose, and van der Hoorn are out of contract this summer. 

Surely they could improve our squad rather than that Beuer?

Definitely would have Martin back, but wages may be an issue
