The only thing that matters come May is points on the board … not missed opportunities

36 ish hours left of the window, and so far out of the signings in, Morishita looks a positive buy & his hotel friend Baradji (if and when available) might be the only ones who would have got into last years team. McLaughlin would have maybe been close. Time or not to settle in, there are clear and obvious comparisons to the players they have replaced. Tavares does not look like anything close to matching Travis, let alone an upgrade for example. How can any professional football club sign a player and not understand or know the extent of the injury of that player? Something feels fishy on this one…. Wonder if the agent has any link to Kentaro? Gudjohnsen will wait and see until we’ve seen him in a game (if we get it over the line) - but based on signing players from their stats theyre hardly inspiring and feel like there’s a touch of the Sam Gallaghers about what’s coming

Played 4 league games conceded a penalty in 50% of them

Thank you Buckley for the many wins on “to get booked” on the betting … always a certified yellow in reality though glad to see Buckley go - wasted his time and chances

Very impressed with Cantwell today, a proper captain performance and ran the show. Hedges on the left was like a new player and really liked Alebiousu, got forward a lot and looked great

🤮🤢

In recent years this is a game I’d look at and think, a definite point to gain and no reason not to go for all three and full optimism and belief going into it excited to watch the game. There is no excitement for tomorrow or optimism, expecting us to be marginally beat by another team who will likely be fighting to avoid relegation alongside us

Amazed reading the LET comments about Trav leaving…. Has to be plants. a player who bled blue and white and did work hard for the badge - not a mutinous snake if those views resemble even a portion of the views of the wider fanbase we really have hit a low point in humanity and mental capabilities. As soon as a player or manager leaves now suddenly everyone is a greedy snake who we should be glad to be rid of…

A captain, a leader, one grown at Ewood… sold and replaced with a loan (and presumably little intent to actually buy) half a team of proven championship players gone A women’s team gone a sky sports package in blue bar gone waggott gone (a positive in the list) nothing really exciting or proven in… These transfer windows get less and less exciting

Along with the £40m from Wharton, Szmodics, Raya…

Delta, Virtu, Nike, Coral sounds like an ambitious commercial department meanwhile our lot go to one naff Lancashire networking brunch and get a main shirt sponsor from down the road and can’t bring in anything with reach outside of a 25 mile radius of the club (macron as the exception by necessity) edit: JH beat me to it and put it much better

This reads very much as the venky party like being towed

Agreed once the injuries start to hit in Nov/Dec we really will be screwed, if you take some of the players who are more probable bets for a few weeks of treatment out of contention for the 11, it then is one dross team

If we can hire the digital ad boards outside ewood - would happily chip in for a Pasha Out / Gestede Out / Venkys Out ad and of course that lovely quote from Mrs D about respecting Jacks legacy

With Travis and Hyam likely out the door, it doesn’t bode well for them as there’s only Tronstad and Cantwell so far with any reasonable sell on value left to move on to keep the lights on. Carter arguably could be included but is injured so often that I can’t see a decent fee there any more. Should none of our cheap punts work, this time next year looks like it will be a horrible time

Excitement for this one is at a low. Think we will likely set up not to get beat and be very defensive and create nothing going forward and play the game like we’re playing them away Predicting a 2-0 win for Brum, a half effort performance from Tronstad, Tavares to get an early yellow and be dulled, Kargbo and Gueye introduced at 60mins, then a selection of kids at 80mins - snooze fest toth Pickering miller mcloughlin Ribiero Tavares Tronstad alebiosu cantwell de neve ohashi

“Back the lads ffs”

On the David Webb front - when their players collided and he gave them possession, he allowed their players to stay on the pitch. when Miller went down, off to the side to be called on two tier Webb

Have a weird gut feeling there’s a chance Cantwell may leave now we have a replacement in the building

Not sure if this has been spotted yet but too funny not to share - on doing some quick looking at the fixtures We are now showing as Route One Rovers on Google

To sum up where our club stand at the minute as if we are a local pub eatery with decent food & the plan and if you were a customer would you keep going to the local and trusting the plan? the brewery get into legal trouble so can’t fund the pub, an ambitious danish head chef leaves because he’s told by the pub manager he can’t choose the ingredients or the menu any more and has to get cheaper ingredients and equipment despite adding some danish flair we sell our nice oven to a London pub for a price that keeps the bills paid for a month and bring in an ambitious chef who wants to buy nice ingredients, launch a new menu and the pub manager starts to see results, but worries about the margins - changes his order at the wholesalers for cheaper ingredients without telling the chef despite promising him the ability to craft his menu his way… invariably he walks out and joins a worse pub down the road but starts to take his sous chef and pot washer and front of house with him the long standing bar manager takes over in the kitchen, gets some results and is eschewed aside for an out of work French chef who’s last few kitchens have failed hygiene standards .. but he comes in and tries hard after a rocky start and agrees to buy unknown weird ingredients and work with the microwave he starts building a menu bringing in foreign untried ding ding meals on the hope the locals will like them the pub raise prices meanwhile without doing any decor or refurbishment in the establishment and the place starts to look and feel tacky the new menu launches with a load of unknown dishes from the microwave as the oven, the grill and the sous chef all gone to pay bills the locals ask for feedback at a village meeting and the minutes keep getting delayed as the pub manager wants to hide the shambles behind the scenes whilst advertising their exciting new microwave menu and watered down pints of fosters

Return Flight Tickets once he fails his medical / Pasha loses the paperwork

cant see any takers above lower end league one Failed on his loan at Sheffield Weds not fancied by any of last 3 managers really always a liability and a booking waiting to happen
