Exactly. He is to blame not the Venkys. He signed the players, he coaches the players, he picks the team. If Gallagher and Brereton were banging them in and we were sat in 7th place I'm dam sure he would be given license to spend in this window. He and he alone is at fault! 2 weeks Tony, that's what you've got to sort this mess out, or start walking and let somebody else have a go at inspiring us fans. Because at present Chlamydia is more appealing than watching and listening to your drivel!

If we do not improve our team in this window then Tony has to be held accountable and go. If the Venkys aren't going to give him anymore money then that is purely because of his awful track record in spending it. We could have 2 quality attacking midfielders for around £5m. That type of money is nothing to the Venkys, and nothing to a team looking to win promotion to the top flight. Tony has 2 weeks to save this club from free fall. If we don't sign players to come straight in to the starting 11 then I predict relegation next season.

For me Charlie makes the ideal substitute. If we are chasing a game late on, I would bring him on over Brereton, Gallagher, Rothwell, Chapman, Buckley. Go all out to win free kicks near their box and get Charlie on them. He is the best free kick taker in the country. He's a weapon that we should make use of, because at present, other than Armstrong's pace we have nothing else to worry teams.

No chance Tony is taking the armband from him. If Benno plays, Benno is captain.

Anthony Modeste?

Derby in trouble for exceeding permitted losses.

Matt Derbyshire?

Awful news for the bloke. He gets a lot of unfair criticism, in my opinion, and I maintain that him and Travis in the middle are by far and away our best partnership. Hope he recovers from this and comes back stronger. ?⚽

I would have a look at bringing Bony in for a trial. He is a proven goalscorer and only 31yo. Could certainly do a job for the next 18 months.

There's still hope!!

Just thinking about the former striker returning.. Matt Derbyshire???

Wigan freeing up wages for Rhodes.

I saw that last night, but wasn't quite sure how much to read into it. Hoping it's true.

Bit harsh calling Nyambe shit!

I am going to sleep with a sneaky feeling we are going to get Maddison and Curtis. I reckon Barry is gonna let Tony have a major spending frenzy.

Dear God, how long is it going to take him, his family and his Guinea pig to settle in the area, let alone learn the way we play?

Anyone know if Rochdale's Rathbone is injured or suspended? Not in the squad tonight!

@Madon January window is your speciality, anything happening?

I'd eat Tony's

It really highlights the almighty f**k up made spending £7 million on Brereton when you could get Maddison, Curtis and Lyle Taylor all for a little more than BB cost.

Good job you weren't expecting lots of goals!

What's Crusty said this time?

Are you on first name terms with Murray? Give your mate a bell and get him to Ewood!

£2.5 million is an absolute bargain for Maddison and if we lose out to Charlton on this one then that surely says all we need to know about Mowbray and Waggot. Get this deal done, it could go a long way to reinvigorating our season.

Exactly! This isn't the new season of 24 where we need to recruit Jack Bauer to find the mercenary behind £7 million being deceptively stolen from us. At the end of the day Tony signed Brereton, Tony bigged him up, Tony is accountable!
