The frightening thing is, we're missing out on all our targets and none of them look particularly good! Just imagine the absolute tripe we're going to end up with as desperation increases (if anyone!).

Sharpe reporting the name as Ibrahima Kone, we were close to a deal but its gone tits up. Hells teeth back to the drawing board

Yes he's now at Dortmund too, he had a good career after leaving us, including pocketing a load of cash in China

Morton will go on to be a premier league player I guarantee it. BUT This is the championship, you need midfielders with a big pair of bollocks and he's got a pair of peanuts swinging.

Said this yesterday and also said he'll go to WBA on deadline day to team up with Corberan again, it's inevitable.

Giving what?

Can we just point out its an allegation of racism at this point before we go into meltdown. If its confirmed with evidence then ok.

On another note, who the fuck is cutting JDT's hair? He looks like he's just rubbing coarse sandpaper on it or something 🤔

You'd see the positives in a corpse with lipstick on, so easily pleased

We could really just do with a good performance and some entertainment above all else. Things are very very stale at the moment. Should be a fair number of walk ons, partly because it's so long since a Saturday 3pm home game! Sounds like BBD is starting, not sure how his season is going to pan out now. Will he remain focused and 100% committed? I'd like to think so as he doesn't come across as a tit. Maybe he'll even start playing better now his future is seemingly chosen. Going for a 2-1 home win. BBD and Szmodics with the goals. Is Khadra allowed to play or is he cup tied? He got on my tits against Sheff Utd earlier in the season.

Come on Gregg pick up the blower and get onto Forest who are seemingly prepared to let O'brien go out on loan. Their need is to trim the squad numbers not financial, get a deal done. Fully expecting him to sign for WBA on deadline day like....

If there was even a whiff of him coming to us there'd be a whole host of clubs ready to step in, premier league clubs and similar.

Someone is on the wind up..... How on earth are we going to persuade a lad who's been in and around the Juve first team this season to come to Blackburn Rovers? Reality check needed if you think that's a legit rumour 🤣

Sorba doesn't exclusively play on the left at all, in fact some of his better performances were on the right last season.

Dack was without a doubt not unheard of at the time we signed him, unless you lived under a massive rock. Young player of the season 3 times on the trot and numerous clubs bid for him.

Joao' record the last few seasons: 20/21 played 39 and scored 19 21/22 played 24 and scored 10 22/23 played 14 and scored 4 so far Sam Gallaghers: 20/21 Played 42 and scored 6 21/22 Played 39 and scored 8 22/23 Played 21 and scored 4 so far I'd take Joao over the ineffective Gallagher (one of our highest paid players) any day of the week

no shit Sherlock

He was appointed on the Friday, didn't even have time for a training session. Wagners Norwich now are not the team we beat.

Norwich were in turmoil then too. The following 2 games they've banged 8 goals in away from home under Wagner. I dread to think how many we'd ship against them now.

Nail on the head. Take for example our signing this week as a case study. Nerd analyst 1: my stats show me we aren't creating very many chances, in fact we're one of the worst in the championship in that regard, can you help? Nerd scout 1: say no more. "Hey Google, find me a player with lots of assists in the championship last season" Wilson - no chance Swift - no chance Semenyo - no chance Wallace - no chance Thomas - now maybe if Gregg can stop sweating long enough he might be able to negotiate a deal here! Nerd scout to Gregg: "I've found our man! Loads of assists and crosses last season, wages fairly low according to transfermarkt " Gregg: "sounds good! From open play? Can he take a man on?" Nerd scout: "no idea, shall I sign him on football manager?" Gregg: "nah fuck it he'll do, even Chaddy on that bloody BRFCS site is getting restless now!"

We had a couple of spells winning 4 games in a row which if most other teams in the league had done they'd be around 4th too, can anyone genuinely imagine us doing that now? Teams were still sussing JDT out back in August, hence we won the first 4. If managers can't work out to play against us by now they're probably in the wrong job I'm afraid. A solid transfer window allowing us to bring different styles of play in would be the only way we'd make top 6, it'd not looking likely is it...

So what is it 5 days to go? The usual tactics being deployed. Miss out on everyone we actually want then get a few shitty nobodies on deadline day. At this point the fans are desperate for incomings so literally anyone will do. The likes of Chaddy and fb massive try and put a positive spin on things. We then proceed to tumble down the table and yet are supposed to renew or sign up for season tickets at inflated prices in a few months. At least we can rejoice about a coach going to Watford and the players doing a really funny video on twitter saying what job they'd do if they hadn't become a footballer. Seriously if you haven't watched it, don't. These are absolutely dire times unless of course we're blown away by some transfer activity in the next few days (we won't be)

Off topic a bit bit who remembers when Nixon posted on here and tried to get us to sign up to his daughters website to buy handbags? 🤣 Sadly blocked me when I said they were shite 😔

Christ - wish I hadn't bothered logging on for a lunchtime update - which quite frankly consists of pages of bickering buffoons.

Got a few Huddersfield fans at work so I'll get their take on it later. The general consensus seems to be he's looked lazy and uninterested this season. Reading his initial interview he said this: “I’m eager, I’m ready to go, it’s a team that’s fighting in the play-offs and that’s where I want to be." Sounds like he most definitely wasn't up for a relegation battle, although he might end up disappointed if he thinks we're genuine play off contenders too, unless a few more follow him through the door. He did also comment about us playing exciting football too against them. Can't say I remember the game specifically but we only beat them 1-0 😕
