Can see us doing something daft like loaning the lad Accy had last year. 6 ft 6 and cheap/local

The sun will rise in the east. No doubt Szmodics is definitely gone and we definitely maybe potentially possibly have someone lined up Although in fairness now Park is back Nixon is much stronger on our transfers

Think how nervous you get when watching the game. Then imagine your jobs on the line and your 18 yards in front of him

Pacey left winger Sub centre mid Proper keeper Top 10

Flashy ohashiiiiiii

That's him having a drugs test after the game

Dare I say... Gueye looks as good at defending corners as Gally?

Szmodics without pre season isn't it?

Hi, I am a new Blackburn Rovers fan having only followed the club since we signed Sam Gallagher. Can any kind soul please explain what the new striker is doing when the ball lands near his head or when he has his back to a defender or when he stands in the box when a cross is made. Why isn't he playing out in the wing?

2 nil rovers Big Mak and Flashy Ohashi! Optimistic

Id hope good? To my recollection he was a youth academy player repeatedly talked down on by the manager and half shoved out the door?

Has he eaten a tub of peanut butter or something before this. What's with the lip smacking/gurning? If we are never let down with requests for funding, and the owners want to continue funding the club with a higher transfer budget than last year - can anyone quantify how much grass seed a club would use and what that + 30% cost increase would look like to be the first concern he raises?

As a little poll do we feel More Equally Less Sorry for Eustace now mimicking the frustrations JDT very publicly made

For all the gamers, Ewood Park is meant to be in the new FIFA. I wonder if the scan is good enough to get the algae growing on the perimeter

I meant for his HGV licence, this coach won't drive itself

Ritchie to Pompey seems good business. Can't imagine they're paying significantly.

In fairness he's got a great smile

This is pie in the sky stuff but if Gueye lacks the technical side and has an over abundance of the physical, then Markanday may be a complimentary player. Say what you want physically (in fairness I thought he did toughen up a bit) he can certainly strike a ball well.

What is the Rovers credit rating. I wonder if that makes a difference to installments both loaning against future incoming and paying in outgoing

This is basic football manager, give them 20m if he scores 50 league goals and calls it a day. Or for the pros - sign a German with a 100m international appearance bonus

Not confident at all going in to the season with Pears as number one. Also not confident we will spend actual money on an adequate replacement and to be honest De Lange we wait for the Go Ahead to do so, the worse I feel

Am I mad for thinking I'd rather keep Travis and get Norwood then swap him for Baker Edit: forgot he was a Dingle

Isn't it McFadz and Batth?

About as fast as Isak, Holjund, Jackson at Chelsea - so mobile but not Telalovic 100m record fast

Both Garrett and Travis are more in the swashbuckling ilk than hardman but with both of those out the door we do look less physical in the middle of the park
