We need to be playing Ayala in a bubble wrap kit.

And Magloire. At least he was a centre half.

Possibly as good as it gets. I expect Hedges to play in place ofDolan though.

Maybe he wanted to see how they’d react in that situation. To see if they’d work it out for themselves. Now he knows.

Big, big problems at the Red Rats. I’m not sure even Klopp or Guardiola could sort them out any more. It’s gone beyond any one man. They need to fire the lot and start from scratch, which isn’t going to happen.

Yeah that’s what I really miss. When games used to be stopped when a dog ran on the pitch. I remember Jimmy Greaves was a bit of a dog whisperer. He tamed one at Ewood years ago. He met his match with the one during the Brazil v England game in Chile. He managed pick it up and then it pissed on him.

A guy in a Spanish village - “ You see all those houses ? I built all those with my own hands. Do they call me Pedro the house builder ? No. Go down to the harbour, you see all those fishing boats ? They are all mine. Boats that I built with my own hands. Do they call me Pedro the boatbuilder ? No Go out into the fields and look at the olive groves. I planted those one by one. Do they call me Pedro the farmer ? No. But I fuck one pig ……. “

Me neither. Passed me by completely but then I don’t live in Blackburn.

Hudds just lost the best midfielder in the Div plus Toffolo plus their manager. Last season they finished third from the top, this season they could easily finish third from the bottom. Luton will be interesting, if it was at Luton you’d need to take your boxing gloves down there.

Or a drug dealer.

Dack’s great at arriving late into the box from an advanced midfield position. A bit like Frank Lampard was. Play him up front directly against centre halves and you lose that advantage of surprise.

I wish it was as simple as that but unfortunately it isn’t. Serious injuries and the way they can happen to you out of nothing can play on your mind. Matty Jansen never got over his no matter how hard he tried. As I said earlier physically you may appear to be fine but mentally ? Who knows. Speaking from personal experience here.

The ECB showed exactly what not to do when they took the cricket off free to air. It’s been down hill ever since.

How many goes did Mowbray have at signing one. When he finally did he played him on the right wing ! He wouldn’t know a good full back if one came up and kicked him up the arse.

For me it’s like comparing rugby league and rugby union. Both very similar codes that I find interesting but they are different in their own ways.

There must be an echo in here today.

You’re mixing up your players Jim, he doesn’t play for Barnsley.

“ Range Rovers “ are being stolen for fun in my area. Key less entry makes them easy to steal. I doubt wether he’ll see that again. It’ll be in bits by the end of the week. You can’t get spare parts for them at the moment apparently.I’ve seen plenty of them with an old fashioned ‘ dust bin lid “ lock over the steering wheel recently.

Mowbray made some really weird decisions in his time here but playing a left back on the right wing was up there with the strangest.

Mm, indeed.

That was a good time to play Hudds just like QPR at home was a good starter for us. Let’s wait and see what happens in a month or two.

Recovering mentally from serious injuries, especially if they occurred in innocuous circumstances, is much more difficult than getting over the physical side of the injury.

That was it with Mowbray - we rarely had a coherent, consistent way of playing and he very rarely knew what his best eleven looked like.

They’re going to do a Barnsley if they’re not careful. The midfield lad they sold to Forest was the best midfielder in the league for me last season

I’d like it if he puts one on that centre half that did Gallagher. It was the sort of foul you used to see in amateur football years ago but very rarely in modern pro football with TV cameras. The linesman must have had his eyes painted on, he should have been watching for stuff like that. Their bloke picked on the right guy in Gallagher, he’s a big soft lad who wouldn’t have retaliated even if he could.
