Nixon has some Rovers tittle-tattle tomorrow

I’ve never met you but I count you as a football friend❤️

Chaddy liked this post, unironically it would seem.

Complete nonsense, all of it. Can’t take the ball on the turn is a line you repeat often. It’s drivel. And he’s a fantastic passer of a ball when he’s in his game. You should pay more attention to what is actually going on instead of just focusing on the negatives all the time.

What penny should be dropped?

It is, cos he’s as good a long-range passer as there is in the Chamionship. Even Adam Wharton can’t ping a ball at pace like Buckley can over 40 yards onto the toe of the winger. He’d actually be a great asset to Val who seems to like to play with quick wingers so there may be a chance for him. It’s just the rest of Buckleys game has gone massively backwards. He also doesn’t move, he just shuffles round asking for the ball. Only Tugay gets away with that! Shame cos I really rate Buckley. He just needs to pull his finger out.

I’m ok with saying he looks like he can get about the pitch 👍

I think the club sees this summer as a chance to reduce costs and renew the squad. Players like JRC and Buckley, whilst both being technically very good IMO, just don’t have the physicality to provide what Val is after. He appears to want hard-running players to go along with high-tempo style and it’s already been stated they are after a box-to-box midfielder. Buckley couldn’t be further away from that profile but he’s still a fantastic passer of the ball when he’s on his game. But it’s probably time he moved on. I don’t think Val wants someone shuffling around the centre circle at 4mph! JRC looked really good in CM under JDT, and was making really good runs into the box. He could fit the Box-to-box role easily, cos he’s no slouch when he’s fit and he’s a nasty fucker when he wants to be, as well as being a really intelligent player….but sadly he’s just of glass. If he could stay fit he could be a real asset again. They are both Championship level and should get a club. Not sure how much they’re worth though as I’m guessing they’ve only got a couple of years at most left on their contracts.

2026 according to Jackson in the LT

He looks like he can put a tackle in, has good technique and can get around the pitch. He looks like he fits with Val’s high tempo approach. BRFCS YouTube transfer committee says sign him up!

That would make a fantastic banner to be held up on the BBE….

Are the stakeholders aligned though?

He’s on board with the latest version of the project, they love that in the corridors of power at Ewood. He’ll soon get fucked off with it all if he’s got anything about him.

Roversfan99 writes everyone off before they pull on a shirt, then gets defensive when it’s pointed out. It’s a story as old as time.

If De Neve is decent defensively, and Hedges is also favoured, it means the manager wants wingers who are also good tracking back and helping out the full backs. Kargbo hasn’t a defensive bone is his body, so there’s no guarantee he’ll be an automatic starter under Val

He’s cheap and he may have enough potential to be sold for a profit. That’s the only consideration for a development club with no ambition.

Every young lad in the uk has that hairstyle. I think they are pejoratively known as broccoli heads!

I admire his commitment to the transfer tittle-tattle cause

Rovers Xtra, whoever it is, on the scoreboard in the race for the ITK of the summer award. (I know they didn’t break it but they broke it in English!)

Ormskirk…so closer to Blackburn than Wrexham.

I think you’re on the fence with this signing

We’ve gone backwards since lion-heart Sir Gareth left. Tuchit Out!

Why would there be no signings?

But quick and two-footed so there’s positives too.

It’s not like you to see the negatives in a player you know nothing about.
