An 8-minute brace from Ben Thirkill according to google. A new name for me. Any good?

Looking at the table too, seems we really needed that. Second from bottom, ahead of Derby, who also won and are 2 points behind with 3 games in hand. Am I right in thinking there's no relegation from the U18s league?

I think it's just 2 leagues split into North and South so no relegation

There loyal to English football, one of the clubs who wanted to break away to a Super league. Obviously we don't belong in there company.

Don't forget when they decided to not even enter the cup in 2000 so they could take the money and go to the world club championship instead

i hope everton keep giving lampard time to get them sorted out,the guy has done a remarkable job in making them worse than under benitez😁

Yep, I thought it was TM that suddenly decided he liked to do that. We never trained on Ewood repeatedly until last season. Now it seems to be the default every cold snap.

Crazy when we have a poor pitch to start with.

You would have thought somebody at the club will have warned JDT the state the pitch would end up in if he trained on it in the weather we've had recently,the stodgy state its ended up in doesn't help his play out from the back philosophy that he seems to have adopted.

I will never understand why you can't just train indoors when its frozen outside,why must you have to train on grass,do you suddenly forget how to play on grass if youre made to train indoors for a few games.

Over 3 points a game with Gally starting, if that is maintained we'll go up this season.

Can you show me the mathematical equation where someone can be worth more points per game than what is on offer,unless i missed the day when we started giving out 4 or more points for a win.

I’ll probably get some stick for this but I’d much rather see Burnley get promoted than Watford, Swansea or some other southern or Welsh lot. 
 

And nobody can say they don’t deserve it either - with just one notable aberration they have made this league look the tinpot affair that it is. 

I want them promoted because i'd rather they were struggling to win a game in the Prem than having a good time winning every week in our league,pisses me off seeing them so happy 😀

When you’re playing up front the one thing you want is service. Ideally balls coming in from the flanks or clever balls threaded through the lines. We don’t have much of either. Nobody would thrive playing up front for us at the moment.

l

Even Shearer would struggle to do anything with the supply our forwards get most games.what happened to get it wide and cross it in the box,we won a title doing that,for people that will say we dont have the players to play that way,well FFS get some then!!

Dean Smith's sacking imminent apparently. 

They've approached S Gerrard.

Team  seeking promotion in 5th see its not working with Manager so decide to cut losses and try something different,They can probably see how average this league is so instead of sticking they twist though i cant see Norwich being big enough team for Gerrard to go to.

I stopped watching his interviews weeks ago...

I haven't watched any of his interviews,years of watching Mowbray drone on has put me off manager interviews for life.

If we start losing games when we score first then were screwed because JDT has shown no ability to change things when we go behind in a game

This will be the first draw of the season,it's going to be a boring 0-0

All depends on the terms of the loan agreement and whether we there is an early terminate clause or whether Leicester have a recall clause aswell. 

It's lucky we don't have a he must play agreement with Leicester like we might have with Morton and Liverpool

They may not be able to send him back in January as per the loan agreement.

stick him in the u21s for the rest of the season if he can't go back,hes a waste of space with the first team.

There’s been some bloody ludicrous Boxing Day trips over the last 15 years or so. Middlesbrough twice, this lot twice. As well as the corresponding fixtures at ewood. The authorities must think we’re in the north east, certainly things get a bit blurry for them north of Watford. 

I'm guessing Lancashire Police wouldnt want to have to do local derbies at Xmas time and that's why we have to trek half way up the country instead.

What makes you say that Darren? 
they haven’t had chance to admit anything yet. You can’t expect JDT or Broughton to come out in the press and say they don’t think Hirst can make it, not least while he is at the club 

It may be that part of the loan agreement will be we can’t send him back 

So the time when they can admit the mistake would be at the end of the season when it comes to buying him. If they exercise the £5m option then it will be then doubling down; if they don’t sign him then they’d have agreed with us he isn’t good enough 

They send him back in Jan is admitting they got it wrong they dont have to say anything thats why they wont do it

From what I've seen of Hirst, he doesn't exhibit a single attribute - not even a glimmer of one - which makes me think he'll make it as a Championship standard player. 

We just need to cut our losses, send him back, and find a proper replacement who can make an impact now.

That would mean Broughton and JDT admitting they got it wrong with making Hirst their big summer forward target,i don't think they've got it in them so will keep flogging a dead horse and keep him here until the end of the season.

Its not about just you and how you are affected. My point about away games was that others who do attend WILL be affected. That last quote sums your lack of empathy up to a tee. As long as you are ok.

His next reply will be write to the club if you don't like it,

i'm surprised we are on so much.Sky usually go for teams with the biggest support to get the viewers,Leeds,Newcastle and Villa come to mind when they were in the championship

Yes and will only get worse in 2026 with 48 teams.,

With that many even  Scotland have a  chance of getting there

A country that lives and dies with football everyday won over a country that only cares every couple of years.

Fantastic game. It’s a shame somebody has to lose.

Only one team turned up for 80 mins then all hell broke loose and ended up not wanting it to end
