Blast from the past! There's the pace we've been asking for.

I know he's not exactly banging on the door of the starting 11, and many would be happy to see him go, but I do hope this means another out-and-out striker is on the way in.

Frankly, I hate the idea of denoting positions/roles on the pitch with numbers. Leave that to Rugby.

So 'a large contract for championship standards' and 'taking a small cut in wages' suggests a base wage north of £20kpw, right?

I believe they have conceded near enough immediately after each of Eustace's big sub roundabouts. It might be worth his time revisiting this idea.

The worst part of it all was they really went out with a whimper. No shots taken in anger at all in injury time, always trying to be cute.

You'd have thought he would have learned from Preston

When every corner you take is an inswinger, it lessens the impact of having two players on the corner.

Weird formation post substitutions and further proof that there needs to be another CM coming in before the window closes.

JRC...

Have Rovers conceded a goal when Gueye has been on the pitch yet?

Exceptionally weak defending

Three forwards trying to tackle each other there...

Well that just sums up Aynsley Pears

What on earth is going on with Middlesbrough?

They need to whip out the longer studs at half time. There have been a few too many slips that could end up being costly.

Comfortable without being dominating.

He's un perdedor

Apologies if this is treading over old ground but I've not seen anything on this recently: I recall last year that Venky's owed the final instalment on the training ground payment and, since then, they have also plastered their badge all over Ewood and the kits in a, supposed, multi-year deal. Does anyone know if they are still making/have made those payments due to their current limitations (which by my reckoning should be separate to the last money sent in November), or is all that still outstanding?

I think the most worrying part of the report seems to suggest it's one or the other between Germain and Eustace's forward preference when most would agree we need at least 2 additions to bolster the attack.

Probably not the greatest example, to be fair, considering how that game went.

Humanoid Rapid Assault Weapon is the greatest nickname I've ever read.

I'm seeing a lot of gross oversimplification/misunderstanding of what market value is here. I'm beginning to miss the John Bull/biscuit saga...

Yeah, Jack Vale and Igor Tyjon...

Atcheson had a composed debut at Marine. Looked to read the game a level or two above the opposition and held up to the physical challenge. He also looks to have a decent turn of pace, not dissimilar to Carter in style. I'm not sure the National League North is the best level for him to be cutting his teeth, but hopefully he grows quickly. Montgomery not making the team, unless injured, at 20 is probably not the best sign.
