Is there an update on Reed’s hamstring ?

During the Villa game on Radio 5 they were discussing when Ron Saunders won the league title with a squad of 14... included Gordan Cowans Them were the days

Graham, Mulgrew and as proved recently, Conway. These experienced players will leave a big hole and need to be replaced wisely. Take these out of our side and Reed going back then what have we got left ?

Fought hard today and made a good side work very hard. Reed was excellent. We need to buy that lad next month if we have any kind of ambition. Nyambe was very good (second only to Reed for MOM) No surprise both were knackered the last 10. These 2 really put a shift in today. Then we had Palmer who is absolute crap. I can’t actually believe he was brought on as he should be nowhere near our first team. His contribution was losing the ball (as usual) three or four times. The first almost cost a goal and he didnt even put any effort in to get back, just trotted back like a fancy Dan. He also managed to play a terrible pass pushing Brereton too wide when it should have been a certain goal effort. Must go back next month. Brereton seems a bit weak for this mens league. Graham held up a few balls today like he was a rock. Chalk and Cheese. Man and Boy.

Waggott’s Xmas offer = massive FLOP

Did the text mention total commitment ?

Interested to see the attendance today. Waggott’s Xmas offer.... 20K or a flop Back to plan A (there is no plan B ) of flogging half STs If they suddenly offered 20 quid off an adult half ST if bought today with a match ticket for eligibility, they would shift a few STs I think. Half price shirt voucher if you buy a half ST today. Seems some innovative ideas might be more effective than “buy a half ST or you are not a proper fan” plastered on every bus stop.

Nonsense. TM is a cautious creature in a brutal industry. IF vs job security ? They did in the summer and he went on record as refusing it in favour of slowly slowly

TM benefits from lowering expectations and telling them it takes us 6 seasons to challenge... slowly slowly. Nothing like a bit of job security. Alternative is yes ok I will spend 25 mill and get us up this season and get sacked when fails. I have felt for a while that we may be hindered by TM both on and off the field. Jury is still out.

£1 discount 3 days before Xmas is a stroke of genius. Of course we cant offer deals unless reciprocal so the blame lies elsewhere but none of that rhetoric increases attendances.

Errr Earth to Matty The club already stated there will be no deals.

I am intrigued to hear the noises coming from Ewood after the half ST nonsense has passed. At the moment it is full on BULLSHIT SELLS HALF STs. All hands on deck.

not according to Chaddy you cant both be right

sounds half Portuguese

Boz is correct It’s either a tactic as you say or Lenihan is just a bit thick / rubbish

Wish people would stop talking about signing Chapman The lad’s career is finshed due to injuries. Forget him.

WOOSH

Mowbray, give us a shrug Mowbray Mowbray give us a shrug

Hard to discuss facts with someone who never played the game and fundamentally doesn’t understand it. All players make mistakes. Raya made one and we were still winning 2-1. Inviting the opposition to make you defend immaculately for the rest of the game will invariably bring out mistakes and concede goals. Best way to defend is with the ball up the other end of the park. Simple game. Too simple for the playstation generation.

until Graham got took off and we had nobody capable of replacing him.

I heard yesterday that Ben was from the C list after no A or B targets could be secured. I also heard we are after Sam Vokes.

Once all this half ST nonsense is out the way I wonder if they will suddenly start with matchday offers to increase attendances ? In theory they won’t / can’t because they said all deals must be reciprocal and we have played everyone once. Not that anyone outside of Cheston and Waggott actually believe that.

Actually that is wrong pal The convo is not about Brereton coming on. It is about Graham going off. As soon as it happens we are usually fucked.

Agree

He really must be poor if he doesn’t even compare to Chris Brown. Joking aside, nobody is blaming Brereton. More pointing out how we fall apart repeatedly (in fact predictably) when Graham goes off. Today BB came on for Danny to play up top which means doing the same job / type of work. He was either poorly instructed or he was just poor at it. Never got close to winning any balls. We ended up defending which we are crap at and it was 2-2 from a comfortable 2-0 before Graham went off.
