Every team in the Championship targets Pickering. He can't jump and is possibly the least mobile full back in the league? That is on the owners and their lack of funding, we've been too tight to sign a permanent upgrade for years now for him and Dolan; two players that wouldn't be out of place in League One. If you are still regularly starting Tyrhys Dolan in the Championship it means you didn't quite recruit well enough, despite Gueye and Ohashi. Separate note, the manager has got his starting XI wrong two games in a row now AND multiple changes should have been made at HT in both games. Poor.

I can’t believe I’m having to pay to watch Tyrhys Dolan. Terrible player.

Who is supposed to be providing service to the forwards from the right hand side, and who is supposed to be providing service to the forwards from the left? Carter and Dolan? Give it a rest. Dolan is extremely inconsistent and largely a liability on the ball that takes too many touches or doesn't connect cleanly. Carter is a CB. That aside they still should have done better tonight. Tronstad, Travis and about 9 others didn't play well.

Rovers didn't fancy the rain tonight, or staying at the top of the Championship. A loss is fine but that was unacceptable and players need taking off quicker. It was clear from the start and major changes should have happened at half time.

We absolutely rolled over for them here. Pathetic performance from the players... and the manager. 2 subs were needed at HT.

Absolutely

The player was out of control in my opinion.

That Burnley side isn't going up

I think we do it today.

We haven't spent as much as we probably could or should have but we've signed players in nearly all the positions we needed. Anyone on the fence about getting a season ticket, get one and lets get down to Ewood and see how high this team can finish. The atmosphere has been great so far this season and we all needed a boost player wise! Gueye, Ohashi, Cantwell, Dubbery 👌🏻

Think he is joining Hull. (Doak that is)

All seems very odd.

Generally we need a new centre back with pace regardless of the formation.

Money? What money? Ipswich signed Szmodics for free, a gentleman's type agreement, and Wharton was signed on an instalment plan that meant the only benefitting party was Crystal Palace. It was one of those transfers where you sell a player for a large agreed fee but the selling club simply doesn't get anything, and you can't agree the same type of transfer with another club when buying a player either. We simply have to have received all the cash first, even though Palace ended up with A. Wharton without spending their cash first that's just how it is and I know what you're going to say next... what about the "David Raya" money, well that doesn't really count either, a £4m bonus cheque, double what has been spent so far this summer but the reality is he was sold in 2019, and since then we thought we'd bought a new team bus. Anyway please keep clapping away on Saturdays 👍🏻

Hopefully they take Fleck too.

Cheap deal too... with too small a squad. Club is bonkers. Get it done and move on to the next!!

Maybe they just don't give a shit about it and want Venky's to sell the club either way? It's just the latest load of nonsense for me, we've had plenty of it in 15 years. I don't follow the details of the court case because I know it is a complete and utter waste of time.

It's bizarre more teams aren't in for him. Bournemouth could do with him too. He's a Premier League finisher, better than Diaz and Armstrong imo and his work rate is something else!

5-6 also makes you sound completely underprepared for the new season, which we are!

We are doing a great job of depreciating Szmodics' value and cornering ourselves into having to sell. Fantastic work again Steve W!

and no senior backup

PSV will fuck us. Might as well forget about it and crack on with bringing a 37 or 38 year old in on a free, that has no other options. Waggott's bread and butter 👍

Rovers can only sign players for a fee that there is no competition for. Other clubs are simply better, quicker to make a decision, quicker to get the cheque book out and a lot less convoluted higher up the chain. We need owners that are closer to home. The fans will turn on Waggott immediately this year. Probably right after Pears spills it.

This is what happens when your CEO is a neanderthal

People are missing the point. We are still operating on a one in one out policy when the squad was already too small.
