If we end up with just Danns on loan in the end and no other incomings then you have to say it's been a horrible window. To clarify: Danns is a player I'd be happy with...but we simply need more. We still definitely need LB cover given JE recently said Beck has been struggling as of late...and ideally another 2 attacking options. If Tronstad is ahead of schedule in returning then the need for another CM lessens. I can't see the Egyptian striker coming. It's too late in the day now for Rovers to be able to actually pull that off, regardless of the cost. Even if it was an affordable deal, Rovers would faff around so much that it'd miss the deadline. -
Championship 24/25

Brereton has scored for Sheff United. Didn't realise Derby were now in relegation trouble. Sounds like Warne is under pressure there now. -

No chance BTA comes to Rovers after this current run of form...unless Coventry now have to sell to cover the Grimes signing. -
Championship 24/25
sharpysharps86 replied to Forever Blue's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Looks like we'll remain in the playoffs after this weekends round of results after WBA lost, while Boro are playing Sunderland on Monday night so that will be a tough game for them. The fact that we are in the top 6 after this awful run goes to show just how inconsistent most Championship sides are. -

Is he going out on loan? Must've missed that one. -

Very nervy end, but I think Rovers just edged it. PNE didn't do enough in the game to genuinely deserve anything from it IMO. The desperate need for reinforcements is made even clearer when Eustace made his changes. Cantwell aside, every other sub weakened the team, so it was no real surprise that Preston came on strong at the end. Hopefully Kargbo plus a couple of others can come in and freshen things up. 2 tough away fixtures next in QPR and WBA. Really wish they hadn't moved the QPR game forward! Who was the manager / head coach we had when we last beat Preston at Ewood? Tony Mowbray? Or is it even further back? -

I think he just hates Rovers. Seems to have a problem with us every time we're on Sky and he's doing co-comms. -

Dolan and Hedges categorically lack the decision making and intelligence required. Dolan plays like a kid controlling a player on FIFA just spamming the skill moves button -

I imagine Nixon says the other two because he's published stories on the Egyptian striker and the Hibs forward, as well as regularly stating interest in O'Brien. He probably he means 2 from those 3. -

We look so much better with Travis in the team. -

So important to get the first goal. Another one early in the 2nd half would hopefully kill the game. Gueye definitely looking like a very different (better) player now than 2 months ago. Dolan did well for the cross, up until that point he was not having a particularly good game. I hope Kargbo is better than Hedges if he's going to play on the left. Hedges works hard like they all do, but has shown no quality this season other than the dink over the keeper away at Norwich in game 2. -

Seems about right. Certainly about as good as it can get at the moment with injuries / no new signings. Weimann centrally over Cantwell could be a good move as he has that knack of popping up in the right place to poach. That aside, you can just sense the Osmajic winner in this one 😂. -

Won't be 100% sure of Kargbo signing until he's wearing the shirt in a match day squad (even wearing it as part of a player announcement isn't enough at Rovers these days). The positive is that it's hopefully a player through the door in a position we need filling. The question will remain as to whether he's an improvement on what we have or not...time will tell. Highly doubt the Egyptian striker will join, seems far too good to be true. As Nixon says in his story that it is an enquiry, so hardly worth getting excited about unless it progresses further. Sadly this is all too little too late. Rovers would need to go on an incredible run between now and the end of the season to reach the average points total for making the playoffs. -

If Youan is a permanent then its preferable to another loan with Cissoko. Doesn't matter much as Hibs will knock back the first bid and then Rovers will spend a week faffing about before they submit another only to realise the deadline has passed. Bit concerning that we're getting pretty much no concrete striker links now. They really are gearing up for the spiel of Gueye to be 'like a new signing' now that he is more settled at the club 🫠. -

If true about Cissoko I highly doubt it'll have an option to buy included. He's only 21 and Toulouse likely wanting more than we can afford for a permanent deal. That aside, if he's fit and ready to play then he's a decent option. -

Currently on loan from Toulouse. Had a lengthy injury earlier in the season but hasn't really gone straight back into the first team since returning. Unused sub in the last two games. You'd think with Whittaker leaving that they would want to hold onto him. Probably not true anyway 😅 -

Urrrrgh.....As I said in my post, the likelihood is Rovers don't bring in someone better than him this month, so what's the point?? If they can do so and will actually follow through for once then that's different. If Boro are still interested in the summer then by all means explore selling him. -

That same person also tweets that Rovers want something like £5m for Pears if he was to leave this month. While that may be true, I'd be gobsmacked if Boro stumped up that much for him. He is FAR from perfect but I wouldn't be too hasty to get rid of Pears at this moment in time. Who exactly comes in to replace him eh? Toth and then a new and more importantly CHEAP back up keeper most likely. Elsewhere its good to see news of much needed incomings is coming thick and fast 🤪
