I'd forgotten Vale existed. Can't see him playing for us again.

Sky sports are reporting weve agreed £22m (£18m + £4m addons). Personally I think thats a good deal for Wharton, HOWEVER were in a relegation scrap, a manager talking of too small a squad and we've loaned out our captain CM and sold our most promising CM. The dodgy Buckley is our for the season. All we've done is sign two kids on loan. The £18m is probably going to be too late in the day to re-invest properly this window (if we ever do). Were sleepwalking towards L1 here...

He's begging for a goal. A worrying thing watching him is that he never seems to be in the right place at the right time. Desperate for some confidence. I don't watch him and think he's absolute gash though, which I got watching Hirst last year..and Leonard/Ennis this year.

Dolan holding his groin at the end there. What injury was he out with?

Szmodic finishing is top class. 2 chances two goals.

Hahaha did I just hear the female commentator say there's been comparisons between Gallagher and Harry Kane. That made me laugh.

Turned it on 5 mins ago and in that time Garrett has given away a free kick on edge of the area then gave the ball away for the goal. We're wank.

They'll be going all out for Xabi Alonso. Probably the next superstar manager based on his current form. Gerrard will crying to himself in the middle east.

I'm a Blackburn fan and I would take the first chance to move to a prem side. We can be sentimental as leisure fans, they do it as a career which could be cut short at any time. Would be absolutely mental to refuse premier league football and money because hes a Rovers fan. Its not his fault the club will use the money to pay off debts and agents rather than strengthen as a whole.

If we got £18m for Wharton, and reinvested 75% of that across the squad we would be a much better side. Any championship club has to accept that Premier league money cant be refused, and use it wisely. What leads to the demise of a club is to replace a good player with a couple of cheap unknowns and the rest goes to pay wages and cover losses. One way ticket to relegation, smaller fan base, even less income, even shitter players and so on... Wonder which one the Venkys and Swag will choose......

We've completely lost any idea how to win. Very worrying we are struggling to win against the worst sides in the league at home. Doesn't bode well at all.. Come Semir. Kick your season off!

Probably just because he's shit

You know the club is in the pits when you're genuinely happy Pears is back in goal..Jesus. I'd put this down as a must win. If we can't beat either Rotherham or Huddersfield at home either side of an away spanking last time out we may as well give up.

Teams just scored whenever they want. Pretty sure my amateur team would get a goal v our lot.

I've enjoyed JDTs football and it's given us some good moment when it's going well but I can't see him keeping us up. He's completely unsuited to a relegation scrap. Unfortunately think we need an organiser in ASAP or it's back to league 1

We are the worst team in the league by far at the moment.

My mate is a Hull fan. I said we had him on loan last year and was mostly crap. My mate says hes been good this year and has impressed the Hull fans. Apparently he has helped the team retain possession much better than last year.

Watching Wigan v Man U. Wigans right winger No 17 looks better than anything we have! L1 is probably too expensive a shop for us though...

Hull City are getting Carvlho on loan from Liverpool. He cost them £20m 18 months ago after getting promoted with Fulham. A proper loan signing that. They were like us 3 or 4 years ago, had an Egyptian owner who fell out with the fans and wouldn't put any funds in. New owner and 1 year later they're in the play offs making ambitious signings. Amazing what a good owner can do.

Why sub off telalovic at half time. Surely these are the games you persevere with them in the hopes of getting a goal...or is he absolute gash? Ive seen plenty of Leonard to know he's never going to be that great.

We'd literally be bottom of the league is it wasn't for Szmodic this year. Despite our recruitment policy of sell ans not replace we've been very lucky someone has always stepped up as a goalscorer in the last few seasons. We lost Dack/Graham and Armstrong stepped up. We lost Armstrong then BBD got 20 goals from no where. Now we lost BBD and Szmodic has stepped up. Can't see anyone else doing it mind..

This is comedy stuff. We're less watertight than a collendar.

Need telalovic to get a goal today and see if it can kick-start his season.

Clubs a shambles. This has cost cutting all over it. No serious manager could work under this. It's very difficult to remain a fan never mind an employee.

Relegation stuff. Apart from Szmodic the team has nothing. Terrible gk, porous defence and no squad. Think JDT would be a good manager at a decent side with funds to spend..but that's not us. We need an organiser with a bit of tactical nous.
