Avoid players with a history of back trouble.

My son and I took our grandson to the Big Club game last Saturday. It’s the first time all three generations have been to a game. I sent my son a text yesterday asking him if they’d enjoyed the match. He replied - “ Luke loves it, you do at that age. I did have a good time, there just seems to be something missing “. That sums it up for me. It’s Blackburn Rovers, but not as we know it.

I didn’t think he was finished. My concerns were regarding his ability to get over the mental effects of having two really bad injuries, one after another. By the way he kicked the pitch side hoarding after scoring recently I needn’t have worried.

Not a gig as such but next Saturday night ( Sunday morning really ) on Sky Arts 1-20 to 3-05 “ The Story Of The Jam “ “ About The Young Idea “.

Oh dear, that’s an easy “ mistake “ to make.

Would you like to describe what this “ more damage “ would look like ?

Both teams first thought was let’s play in our opponents half.

If you saw that pass he made for their first goal in an Under -15’s game you’d be shocked. From safety out on the wing straight into the danger area in front of the D. Mad.

Mbappe ? The Chicken Chokers have finally got the cheque book out !

I’m not in the Hedges fan club either.

What an all round cock up their equaliser was.

According to Google we played Carter, Hyam, Wharton in a back three. Juke led us a merry dance after he came on at 75 minutes, we were under siege in the second half. Phillips also came on at some point and I think he got a lesson. He’s really good at stopping his opponent from jumping as well jumping himself.

I think he’s no better than what they’ve already got. Having said that it’s only a loan deal so if he doesn’t fit in he gets shown the door in Summer.

Hogan’s been around the block a time or two, he “ old headed “ Wharton.

Buying the league.

It was well hit but it wasn’t exactly a thunderbolt. I expect my keeper to save those. The equaliser was worse.

I remember Neil Webb getting a similar injury and he struggled to regain his previous form.

Me too, but that’s a really bad one.

Career finisher ?

Would you be equally happy with those two playing up against him on Tuesday ?

Khadra got lucky with the goal, decent shot but 19/20 times the keeper saves it. Other than that he didn’t do much. Got the shepherds crook in the second half. No better than what we already have.

All I saw second half was their keeper launching long balls into the old inside left channel over half way line onto Jutkiewicz’s head. He was getting flick ons back into centre field. They didn’t always go to a Brum player but we struggled to deal with the loose balls. Anybody else care to comment ? The same player came on as sub in the home game and caused havoc then.

I noticed how they were much more physical than we were. Those little nudges just before the ball arrives to get you off balance. They were at it all over the pitch and the ref let them get away with it.

We must have watched a different game. We’ll need Ayala back on Tuesday for sure.

His positional play is his weakness at full back. As you say that was a guilt edged chance they missed and he was nowhere to be seen. Having said that he was our MOM without a doubt. He’s got to be better than Morton in midfield. Maybe when Brittain gets off the treatment table.
