In fairness I'd rather have played Magloire than Mulgrew but now that's not an option fuck knows ?

If we sold Dack, which I hope we don't, he probably still wouldn't play Rothwell. Probably come out and tell us he's had a sit down and a chat with Richie Smallwood and he believes he can fill that role. I don't think he's anywhere near premiership class either but that would be their problem.

Yeah I wouldn't actually been against Rodwell staying if it was wrapped up at the end of the season, NOW it would be lunacy given that he hasn't even trained. So He's nailed on to sign tomorrow now.

Yeah from a defensive perspective Magloire was one of very few bright sparks last season, sending him packing is almost as if he's deliberately trying to piss us off now. FAST losing patience.

As if we're being included as a team interested in Jacob Murphy on loan ? If by some miracle that happened I'd probably sacrifice signing defenders as he's quality.

I think we'll actually do ok at Fulham and at least get a point, we usually did ok last season when expected to lose. Bit gutted I'm not going despite being rather pissed off at 5pm last Saturday. West Brom away travel sorted though ?‍♂️?

Looks like a nervy few days for Charlton with Boro and Bees battling it out for Lyle Taylor, they'd surely go down without him despite beating us! As frustrating as the transfer scenario is at least our best players aren't being linked anywhere, never known a quieter window on that front. Leeds don't seem best pleased about selling Roofe either if he's just replaced by a loanee (sound familiar?). Meanwhile, the square root of fuck all appears to be happening in relation to incoming transfers at Ewood ?‍♂️?

This sums up how a lot of people are feeling round about now. I'm still not convinced the owners aren't fecking about though as well making transfer dealings 10 times harder than they should be. He's not gonna have the balls to come out and state that though so it'll continue, unless he walks which is also doubtful. Dropping Bennett at weekend would be a start though and claw back some credibility for TM.

Where do you sit? I can assure you I've heard people in the ground who want him gone.

I'm inclined to agree on Bell, he looks like a nervous wreck all game and I'd have no confidence spraying a pass out wide to him at all.

He's actually bemoaned defensive errors again in his post match interview, yet he's the one tasked with addressing that bloody situation. I don't want him out, yet. 10 games in though I very well might.

He's apologised in fairness now and said a family member alerted him to the tweet, sounds like nonsense but hey ho. As he's pointed out though, he will play for the club in any position the manager asks him to, not really his fault the manager is playing him in a position he's useless in!

Bburn end was rammed, not been like that for ages. Sadly after that performance I bet a big chunk of that support won't bother next game..

I called Bennett out on Twitter after a shocking performance last season and he searched for a tweet from like a year ago when I said he'd played well and retweeted it the oddball. I've calmed down a bit after yesterday, refrained from posting after the game or I'd have got banned again ? Charlton are such a shithouse team, it was like watching 11 Lee Bowyers playing. No wonder they celebrated like they'd won the world cup, they know they got very lucky indeed. Doesn't change the fact we were piss poor though. It may be a godsend in a way, if it makes him realise Bennett is absolutely shite as a full back or that Mulgrew is the biggest ball watcher in world football, wont hold my breath though. On a plus side the fan zone was great, hats off to the club on that

I know some are in the JW lower towards the Blackburn End but theres also some in the Blackburn End itself too.

Maybe, who knows. He can't go on forever so will need to be phased out at some point....

I meant the precious early days, she's 5 now and I'll spend time with her now this morning and when I get home later so I'm in a position to go to more games. Hoping she will actually want to come with me at some point.....Mum also had to work some weekends previously in her old job but doesn't now which helps.

Yeah anything above the magic £30 mark for an away ticket I tend to think "how much?!?!" One thing I have wondered about is offering different prices to different segments of our customers/fanbase. For example in my field of work it's common to have a huge number of customers details which are classed as 'dormant'. This segment will get sent offers meaning they can in some cases get the same product for cheaper than a customer who is loyal and makes regular purchases. We clearly have details for a lot or dormant attendees so could in theory target them, or is this just going to completely piss off the loyal fanbase who attend regardless? It's a tricky one it really is.

I guess so, but I don't ever sit in the Jack Walker stand so to me personally that's irrelevant.

Agree with this. A lot of lads I know don't go anymore because of how flat the atmosphere became, and quite frankly they just found the matchday experience at Ewood dull. All still class themselves as fans and would turn out for a big game I.e Burnley. Call them part timers or whatever, its just the way it is. I had a season ticket 20+ years but gave it up when my daughter was born 5 years ago. Main reason was I'd rather spend precious time with her than attend Ewood through blind loyalty when inevitably it wasnt even that enjoyable. Mid week games are a no go for me now 9 times out of 10, I'm just way too busy at work and often travelling back from meetings so wouldn't be back in time. Alas I'll still go to a fair chunk of weekend home games this season, starting today, and pretty much all weekend away games. Everyones situation is different, price doesn't even come into it for me if I'm honest, I think our prices are more than reasonable.

Been wide awake since about 5 ? 38 years old and still getting those matchday butterflies, wouldn't change it for the world!

Its mad how much the game has evolved. Back in 95 we pretty much knew the team, barring injuries. And now? I'd be surprised if any of us get the lineup right. Which makes playing fantasy football a nightmare! Pep roulette is mind boggling.

I'd personally play Brerro up top with Armo and Gally supporting

Who's looked slickest in pre season? Regardless of opposition, deserves the nod

Not as many as there SHOULD be admittedly, the whole Eid in the park thing though is another effort by the club to get them onboard. It's a difficult one ?
