GB: Uhhh Steve, we’ve actually beat Wednesday in the race here, Duncan is flying over for a medical right now… SW: Wait, what?! They were supposed to outbid us, so we could say “we tried our best” etc. Shit! GB: So…? SW: Well, pull the plug Gregg! GB: Okay Steve. Ummm btw - can you tell Jon this time? I did the O’Brien one remember!

We are an absolute embarrassment, shambolic behavior this. If this turns out to be correct, I won’t set foot in Ewood again whilst those muppets are in charge.

We are fucking tin pot.

Is it not?

Louie Sibley or Max Bird would do 👍

Seems like a good way of doing it to me. Try before you buy, if they’re shite send them back - however if they’re good, they’re bedded in and ready for a promotion push next season 👌🏻

We are struggling for wingers, or anyone with a bit of flair for that matter... I'll be absolutely done if we let Tyrhys Dolan go to Luton. It'd probably be for peanuts too.

Well, JDT asked for "experience" and he's got it... Kyle McFadz has played hundreds of senior games, was in the stands when England lifted the World Cup, and saw the Beatles live before they got big. This fella is the epitome of experience.

I'd be happy with Louie Sibley or Max Bird to replace Wharton... however i'm also mindful that JRC, easily one of our best players, will have his eye on that CM spot. Would it be better to sign a full-back right now and give JRC a chance to shine in the middle?

Shocking signing, bottom of the barrell. Yet after thinking about it, I can only assume that; - It's been done very cheap. - He's happy to be backup - behind all of Hyam, Wharton and Carter.

Good lord.

How much would Basel want for Liam Millar on a permanent do we think? He's quality. Very unlikely, but how hilarious would it be if he had to terminate his loan with PNE early to come and sign for us 😄

Just seen that Louie Sibley and Max Bird both have contracts expiring at the end of the season, seems like a no-brainer to try and nab one of these (preferably Max) on the cheap after selling Adam?

Yup, wouldn't surprise me at all to see us make the most underwhelming signing of all time, straight after selling the best talent that's ever come through our Academy for a record fee...

I keep seeing links to Kyle McFadzean... I swear if we bring him in, at 36 years old, right after selling Adam... then I give up!

If Duncan McGuire ended up going to Wednesday, there'd be outrage. People would be saying we've missed out on the next big thing. Now that it looks like we've won the race, he's suddenly the next George Hirst. Bloody hell... if we sign him, just get behind the lad 👍

This is my hope. I feel pretty sure that Adam is going to be sold today, so we have money now. I can only assume that we had "dream" targets on a list, that we couldn't afford - but with the Wharton money coming in...

Agreed. If there's at least a 20% sell-on included, I wouldn't be surprised to see them take the £18m + £4m in add-ons.

Gallagher did well last night, but I can't ignore how many times i've rooted for him and ended up disappointed. Yeah, he runs a lot and puts in effort... but his touch is shite, he's bad in the air, can't hold the ball up well and just doesn't have that natural striker's instinct. It's rare he pulls off a performance better than a 6/10. We've had years worth of proof that he doesn't get you goals at this level, and you need goals from a number 9. It's no coincidence, that he suddenly looks good, and it just so happens to be against League 2 opposition. He'll probably get injured again in a few weeks... so take the £2m, free up his wages and buy the yank I say.

You and I both! Expected way less

Update; JW Stand - 5,594 BBE Lower - 3,108 Riverside - 1,446 All Home fans - 10,148

Damn, I was hoping that was just a rumour. Just checked and saw that it's official 👎 Oh well, still a reasonable turnout nonetheless, considering the opposition.

Latest home ticket sales (via the Ticket Map SVG); JW Stand - 5077 BBW Lower - 2802 Riverside - 1302 All - 9181 Not bad at all. Can probably expect a couple thousand walk-ons too?

Gally out for 2m, with Yates in on loan (loan to buy hopefully) is great business. Gallagher, for all of his running around, is technically awful and terrible at using his physical advantages. I genuinely see JRC, playing as a right-back, as a way bigger attacking threat than Gallagher. Get it done 👍
