Crazy how BBD has turned his form around from no where. Id have their no10 as other have said. One of the best players even though on the loosing side. 4-0 up but still need to be professional and see the game out as they look a threat going forward still

If Venkys and the board had any real ambition of promotion and therefore the big PL money, they would dispense with Mowbray immediately and do everything possible to get Dean Smith in. Proven promotion winner. Laughable hes been sacked tbh We all know they wont even pay attention

Feck me. That interview is sickening. A diatribe of an arrogant imposter who knows full well he's immune from the sack. No apology, no promise to improve...simply an excuse and a message to fans to shut up and what more do you except. Awful. No other manager with a real boardroom would get away with this nonsense. He has absolutely zero intention of walking away from this easy paycheck.

7-0 at home would get every manager if football the sack...not our tony though

Get in 2-0. We've got a horrendous record of protecting 2-0 leads so keep pushing for more. Sounds like Gally should have had a couple On another note, just seen Anthony Modeste is currently playing up front against Dortmund with 6 goals in 9 matches in the bundesliga. He was one of the worst players I've ever seen at Ewood. Brereton esque turnaround

0-1. we've been dog shit. Midfield completely anonymous. Defence held out well but nothing infront of them. Johnson is 10 years past it and Clarkson should play with the u12s. Long season ahead

What's the point in Clarkson. Looks like a little kid. Surely Garrett from the U23s would have more presence than him. Pointless loan. Struggling to get any posession. hopefully keep it tight and nick something

Shows how far the club has fallen when Blackpool beat us in a league game. Hope the fans gave TM some stick.

How on Earth is Magolore starting. he was utterly abysmal midweek. Edun must not be impressing in training. Think I'd even take Bennett at RB above Magolore. At least he's not CB which was a disaster. EDIT....ermmm please don't be a back 3

Sounds like a few players will miss this game. Lenihan, Rothwell, Nyambe, Gallagher all expected to be out. After the last game, Magolore, Clarkson and Poveda cannot play! Butterworth deserves another run out I think. Kaminski Edun Carter Ayala Pickering Travis Buckley Dolan Butterworth Khadra Brereton Theres not much physcial presence in there though!! Johnson would be a mile off the pace to start though.

Some good individual performances....Brereton, Rothwell and Pickering. Carter not a bad deputy. Magolore is utterly awful and should no longer be considered. One of the U23s must be better. Theres also no way Poveda and Clarkson are any better than our academy lads. Hopefully Nyambe and Rothwell injuries aren't serious.

Shocking at the back. Was that magolore again?

Kin he'll. Magolore is an absolute liability. He needs to go off ASAP. Carter to CB and edun to rb

Pen!! who the hell is this Diaz guy.....he's quality. Gone from a joke to indespensible. Need to do everything possible to sign him on a long deal. If he can get anywhere near armstronts goal tally his all round contribution is far greater.

Fuck sake. Magolore terrible player Good header to be fair

Goal!!! Mega from Rothwell. At his best he's prem quality...just no where near often enough Great goal tho

Was about to write the same thing. Madness. Also Magolore will never be a player at this level

Butterworth looks class. He should be ahead of Buckley

Good start for Butterworth. Done more than Buckley already! Our pitch is looking dodgy so early in the season. Edit 1-0!!

Looking poor at home against a side near the bottom who haven't scored in 5 games. Exciting times.....

Fifa have cleared the premier league Brazilians to play this weekend....is this the same for BBD?

The first part of the post is purely down to Southgate. He has all the attacking talent he could wish for....players who in general play for progressive attack minded club sides. They well and truly have the shackles placed on them when with England. Effective in the main, but the better sides will eventually break through after which Southgate hasnt shown much of an ability to adapt mid game. Disagree with the last point. We have some of the worlds top players in this squad, champions league and league winners. Southgate needs to be more dynamic and use them.

0 subs in over 90 mins. Conceede last minute rather than just killing the game. I know weve done well in tournaments but I still think Soithgate has masively lucked out with this generation hes in charge of. Very very limited manager imo. Any normal manager would have made 3 changes and killed the game after 75 mins.

Not seen him play but reading a report from one of our pre-season friendlies Garrett sounded quite promising and did well against a decent side (Leeds?). Sounded like a 6ft+ centre mid who enjoyed a tackle. If hes decent ive no problem giving one of our youngers some game time but agree we are short if no-one comes through. Johnson is back training but that doesnt fill me with any excitement.
