I can only assume you're going off Tronstad's performances for his old team. On the two appearances alongside Travis, as far as I can remember, he's been hooked after an hour, one of which Travis was as good as anyone (against West Brom).

The trouble is, the replacements aren't good enough to replace them. GB and Tomasson are lucky to have inherited a good squad, the new signings are supposed to improve it.

The Plymouth commentary couldn't believe their luck and were really complimentary to be fair. It must be so deflating for the team to play so well early on, but miss 2 great chances, 1 a sitter. In amongst the calamaties, there was some good stuff.

Yeah, but apart from that.....

Watched with Plymouth commentary, "Blackburn must wonder how they're 3 down". Pears hasn't covered himself in glory, but you can't miss chances like that first half.

It's not as bad as his howler last night

Wahlstedt, Moran and Gallagher confirmed starters.

I said a couple of weeks ago, it may be best to start Leonard in home games, it's a massive ask to lead the line at places like Watford. I don't think we've enough depth to let him go on loan, and at the moment it's needs must, but Tomasson should be able to manage his workload better after the break.

He probably does, but we surely just don't have the numbers.

Why did Usyk go down holding his balls then? That was the giveaway, clearly he was out boxed, but Dubois should have the belts this morning,as Frampton said. Just to keep it on topic, fancy us for 1-2 today.

Just hope Gavin Ward is on better form than the ref at the Dubois fight, got robbed there did the lad.

Yeah, it's difficult to predict, I just don't fancy Brittain at left back.

Liquorice or Spanish? 🤔

That's a fair assessment, I'm not supporting Pears or otherwise, just highlighting his ridiculous examination over the last 2 games. Hopefully the magnifying glasses will be put back in the drawer as and when Wahlstedt gets his chance,otherwise he's destined to fail.

The vagueness has started already.

Pears got blamed by some for not doing better for the two goals at Rotherham as well as yesterday. All I can say is, Wahlstetd has been set a ridiculously high bar if/when he gets his chance. I hope he's good enough to keep the likes of those efforts out,as he's supposedly accomplished with his feet as well, we'll have a £50 million keeper on our hands.

I commented yesterday, is he our tallest ever left back? Maybe he's our tallest ever right back as well, that would be a strange record,especially for a forward.

Same here, and it didn't get mentioned on radio Lancs on the way home. It's surprising what you can see when you really want to see it.

Agreed, I'd be more inclined to leave him out away from home if at all.

The pressure is on for Pears and he knows it. Hopefully we're still unbeaten after 10 games and he keeps his place.

He pulled off a fantastic save on Saturday in a one on one to keep it at 0-0, the ref gave a goal kick but it was clearly saved.

If Pears is going to get the blame, at least wait until he's actually done something wrong, then he can rightly be criticised.

I thought Hedges was better than fine, probably the most effective player when he came on, he set the pace and tone.
