v Wigan Athletic (a) 11/10/2022
TheRevAshton replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
How we can play so well in one game, to so awfully poor in the next just doesn't make sense... sure injuries don't help, but even when we manage to whip up a decent enough squad on paper you just don't know what's going to happen. Inconsistency is a huge issue right now. This is a bogey fixture for us, and there is nothing to suggest that we should win... but for some wild unknown reason i'm convinced that we're gonna give them a tanking. Gonna go with 3-0 Rovers, I don't really know why. -
v Bristol City (h) - 3/9/22

Would love to see Ayala back for this one, with Carter filling in at RB; It's unfortunate after a good performance against Blackpool, but i'd bench Morton to make room for Travis in the middle - and of course Adam Wharton should be the first name on the team sheet after the other night. With this line-up i'd be pretty confident of a win, and a clean sheet. Will go 2-0 Rovers. -

Rich Sharpe says we aren't looking to sign Styles; Sorry to disappoint those who would like to see him at Ewood Park, but as things stand, Rovers aren’t in the running to sign Barnsley’s Callum Styles. Rovers looked at Styles in January, as they did his then team-mate Callum Brittain who moved to Ewood Park earlier in this window. There has been talk throughout the window of a follow-up move for Styles as well, but it’s one that Rovers have continued to pour cold water on and that remains the case on deadline day. There is a chance that Styles could move elsewhere, with teams in the Championship and overseas said to be looking at the 24-year-old. Styles has played at left wing-back, but more recently in midfield, an area of the pitch which Rovers feel they are well stocked. -

Nice, Hyam and JPVH should mark the end of our concerns at CB. LB and a couple of attackers then must be the priority, praying for a busy few days. -

I'm feeling very deflated, tired and fatigued. It's possibly due to the antibiotics i'm on, though it could be because of Rovers. Probably both, I guess. I have crippling depression, and tonsillitis. -

I've tried being "patience" - but i'm starting to think the same tbh! In the 6/7 days left of the window we also have a weekend in there, and a mid-week match - days of which we normally do sod all in terms of transfers. So it's more like 3/4 days. BBD is also quite likely to leave now, we'll be left with little (or no) time to replace him. We're in for a very tough season. -

Apparently Everton have offered just £12m for BBD, the cheeky little devils. -

Ahaha, I wish! No chance they'd part with him permanently, think we could blag a loan if we sell them Bezza though. -

Interesting to see that Villa are now looking at BBD. If they become front-runners we absolutely must bring Cameron Archer into the conversation. Every team in the league will be after loaning him, and selling them our top boy could give us the chance to gain a bit of leverage there. -

In saying that, BBD himself isn't a guaranteed 20 goal attacker is he? He only managed that once. Whilst he is indeed setting up nicely to get there again, the back end of last season shows how his form can dip significantly. If we're allowed to reinvest a chunk of the BBD money, I think grabbing Birmancevic from Malmo for £3-5m would be a great start. If we can then throw the bus at bringing Cameron Archer in on loan from Villa, we should be pretty damn strong in terms of attack. -

If we signed JPVH and then sold BBD, could it be both? Seems unlikely that we'd make 2 big money signings, but who knows!? -

It's been 21 days since our last signing. We need at least 5 players, and the window closes in 10 days. Absolutely disastrous. I'd be surprised if we managed to even get 2 more in at this rate... JDT must be getting seriously miffed. -

Just a thought... how much are Luton after for Elijah Adebayo? Seen that Rooney was looking at moving for him at DC United, reportedly looking to offer around £5m!? That being said, you'd imagine they'd want closer to £10m. Makes me wonder if a deal involving Gallagher and a little cash could tempt them? Unlikely I know, but I feel like Gally could be a good fit for them, whilst Adebayo could make a big difference for us up top. -

Unfortunately, if the right money is offered BBD will be gone, also I agree with an earlier post about him waiting for a PL team to come in. With a baby on the way I can't see him fancying a move abroad, I doubt many new fathers would regardless of their profession. The 'dream' scenario for me would be something like; - BBD goes to Brighton - we get van Hecke + £10m. - Sign van den Berg on loan. - Sign Callum Styles. - Sign Josh Bowler. - Sign Veljko Birmancevic. - Sign Lewis Grabban. A lot I know, and there are so many variables - it's just what i'd like to happen. That being said, it isn't entirely impossible (just nearly). JDT has made it clear that he'll need to adequately replace BBD, he'll surely have brought the money from the sale into that conversation. Bowler is like a right-sided BBD in some capacity, Birmancevic scores often for Malmo and has tonnes of potential, Grabban is a proven and consistent bagger. We may even end up in a better position, the resale value of some of the above could be huge.
