PS I had a bet with my mate that Wharton would be in the full England squad by the end of 2024

Turns out even I was being pessimistic. 

Meanwhile the media are only talking about why Rashford, Henderson & Nick Pope aren’t in the squad 🤔

Not for me. 

my team if everyone is fit is 

                Pickford 

Walker Stones Maguire Shaw

           Rice Bellingham

          Saka Foden Grealish 

                   Kane

Explain Grealish?

3 goals 1 assist this season 

vs

Cole Palmer

22 goals 11 assists

The rest of your team is quality though 

Congratulations Adam Wharton. Championship to England’s 2nd best midfielder within 6 months! Well deserved, just hope we’ve got a decent sell on clause.

I honestly didn’t think it was a matter for debate that Mowbray left this club better than he found it 

It was time to go, for sure. He showed his limitations and you felt we had reached that glass ceiling. But he did well for Rovers and I’ll always remember him fondly 

Difference of opinion but I certainly don’t look back fondly towards that dour faced dinosaur

It was under Mowbray that the mediocrity really set in at Rovers and some of his players are still here now, hanging around like a bad smell because the club has no ambition to improve on them.

Pears, Pickering, Buckley, Travis, Dolan, Gallagher, Hedges, Markanday - all will feature heavily in the first team squad next season. 

Just now, chaddyrovers said:

Why are Gallagher and Dolan leaving if they sign new contract? 

Adam Wharton signed a contract in December 2023, it means nothing if the club want to move then on.

Not that I’m bothered if either leave!

“Steve Waggott….get out of our club”

This won’t go away Steve lad. Your time is coming.

Mowbray left this club in a good state.

Also this is the biggest load of nonsense I’ve seen on this messageboard in a while. Up there with Chaddy levels of delusion!

Just seen the shambolic club “statement”

What an absolute embarrassment this club is

Not really, he’s just the latest dose of chemo for a terminally sick patient.

A good, if somewhat depressing analogy!

Personally l am very happy to see a Rovers lad doing so well, he is a joy to watch & excellent to see top quality players profiting from his forward passes and bossing of the midfield.

He was wasted on Gallagher & Dolan and it would have been a crime for him to stay at this level much longer!

I think you have to look at the bigger picture with the Adam Wharton deal. £20m was a reasonable price for the club & it has allowed a Blackburn Academy product to advance his career at the very top level.

That’s only going to be a positive advert for future academy recruits and if Wharton completes another season at Palace he’ll be an £80m player and we’ll get a huge cut of that.

Adam Wharton is therefore the saviour of Blackburn Rovers and the future of English football!

I would go further than 3 for the 1st Team. The rest have proved they aren’t good enough or are squad players only. If Szmodics goes for £10m+ then it’s time to spend some of the £40m we’ll have received from transfer dealings in the last year.

I won’t hold my breath.

Venky’s Out 

Any other chat on this thread is irrelevant

The club are taking the piss out of us. In the absence of an all out protest, I will be voting with my feet & wallet next season and not renewing my season ticket.

Nothing will change until these owners and their board including the alleged criminal Steve Maggott get out of our club. Time to WAKE UP.

Arise Sir Samuel Szmodics & BUILD THE STATUE 

Mowbray enjoy League One lad

Venkys & Maggott WAKE UP and treat the club & the fans with the respect we deserve; we should’ve never come this close to relegation

Eusless, up against it with the squad you inherited but PLEASE play football to WIN and ENTERTAIN the fans not just stay in games & hope for the best

Gilsenan is injured.

Still better than Gallagher!

Should be this team. But won’t be as Eusless only plays senior players, safety first, boring football with no imagination.

We’re probably going to lose anyway so we may as well do it whilst playing young athletic lads with energy.

We’d already be safe now had he took the game to the opposition rather than playing for clean sheets & largely drab points. Holding the recruitment team back, holding the club back in planning for next season, reducing season ticket sales further. Bore off Eusless!

Utter nonsense.

If we’d have sold his buys at the right time we’d have almost halved the current debt, that’s how good his buys actually were. 

Just a shame he did cock all with them

Mowbray has a lot to answer for the current state of this club - “content with mediocrity”

Sam Gallagher epitomises every bit of that statement and that dinosaur spent £5m on him!

Bit weird. Do they not want to see the title winners lift the trophy.

No they want to see Sky Sports Leeds not get automatic promotion!

Leicester will batter us on Saturday

With a crowd in party mood, once they get the first goal it’s game over for our bunch of soft lads.

The way to get a result would be to take the game to them, be brave and go after it early on. Unfortunately under Eusless, all we see is safety first football, playing for a clean sheet & hoping Szmodics can nick goal.

We won’t go down but it’s a sad end to the season and killing whatever spirit there is left in the fan base. Sad times 🥀

Was the explanation “because we play safety first football and we’d rather not lose than attempt to win & entertain the fans. Steve upstairs is more than happy to lose an extra 5k off the home gate next season as long as we stay in the League” 
 

Also anyone know why this joker replaces Eusless on the touchline during set pieces? Not sure what the point, it’s bizarre

This thread hasn’t aged well

I agree on Hyam, but who would you replace Pears with?

The 17 year old kid Michakski, he couldn’t do any worse than Pears or Leo.

Or a cone

So why did we win at Leeds in front of 37k fans

It’s completely different and you know it.

We set up to defend against Leeds, rode our luck and came away with an excellent win. But to try and do the same against 2nd bottom of the league playing at home with 7k+ fans backing them is just ridiculous.

Compound that with our “senior” players and captain making repeated & basic mistakes yet still being an automatic pick in the first team, it’s football suicide.

You'd drop Dom Hyam in a heartbeat Chaddy. Everyone in the world can see it bar yourself and Eustace.

Should have had the rest of the season on the bench at HT in Bristol.

Spot on 👍

Hyam & Pears should both be dropped v Coventry. Both directly responsible for the 2 shambolic goals conceded, otherwise we’d have got a vital point.

Eusless is a weak manager though & hasn’t got the balls to do it.

Con-Don Hyam should be dropped for this game along with Pears, Gallagher, Pickering & Brittain.

These jokers and so called “senior” players are not fit to wear the shirt. 
 

                Michalski

  JRC Carter Wharton Chrisene

         Ayari    Tronstad

Dolan      Szmodics    Gilsenan

                    Tyjon

Give the young lads a chance to shine and players who at very least put a shift in, not the 1 in 4 that we’ve seen all season. 

Con-Dom Hyam

Conned us all into thinking he’s a good player. Now we know he’s nothing but a useless spunk receptacle.

Get out of our club you clown
