He's had a good pre season, I'd be amazed if he's shipped out on loan now

He's playing for Liverpool now in what's a strong team and basically not far off their starting 11 next week. Not sure why they'd do that if he's going out on loan as reported.

Agreed, was pleasantly surprised at the atmosphere yesterday and actually can't wait for the next league game now 💙🤍

I can't even tell what lager people bought for me tbh, it was shite though🤣

I was being sarcastic, although he was a fraud as a footballer

Richard Browns

What a bloody day. You stay aways don't know what you're missing.

We do.....

They tweeted something about it not being shown as it had been selected for live overseas broadcast yesterday. Not sure if that was just for UK based subscribers or what though tbh as paid little attention!

I for one will be glad to see DG back at the club he's always welcome in my eyes 💙🤍

Maybe to drown out Mowbray out chants if things are going tits up

I like how TM keeps going on about how good it will be to have the fans back, not so sure he will agree if things start turning sour like many expect. It's not gonna be big crowds this season but I can assure you Tony I've got a loud voice if needed and will let you know my thoughts 😁

I've said all along he'd end up going the day before the season starts and that seems to be about right now. If we even bother with a replacement I'm almost certain it would be a loan move. Armstrong only became a useful player once Dack was out of the equation, all we can hope for is that we now see a similar knock on effect and either SG or Diaz take the reins. That's about as much positivity as I can muster on the subject. A low scoring (more than likely) team with a leaky defence only points to one thing sadly, buckle up folks.....

Millwall tickets are out tomorrow. You really have to wonder how the hell we'd cope if there was higher levels of demand for tickets! Everything is just a complete shambles from top to bottom.

I think there's far weaker teams If we stay relatively injury free

I'm actually of this opinion now. IF we had any chance of a promotion bid I'd be all for loans. Since we aren't we may as well develop our own..

Amad Diallo from United would be perfect, although perhaps unlikely

Odd philosophy but each to their own

Why? The new manager impact usually gives teams a lift, not make a team there for the taking. Just looking and they don't seem to have much of a pre season with a few games cancelled. Gonna go for a 1-1 here, Diaz (who else?!?!) For us

I got told the same but took it with a massive pinch of salt, allegedly one of the players has said it.

1. Will Steve Waggott still be at Rovers on 1/7/22 ? If no, date of departure. Sadly yes I think he probably will. He'll have a load of excuses already lined up for dwindling crowds and lack of funds etc. You do have to wonder how long people can keep waving the covid card as an excuse though. 2. Will Tony Mowbray still be manager on 1/2/22 ? If no, date of departure. No, I think he's gonna end up walking. I encourage every single supporter who is still attending to let their feelings known. Now although Ewood won't be a cauldron of hate there's still enough people in the Blackburn End to get a point over to him. No more hiding in the dugout sulking Tony I'm afraid. Of course the loons from Pune will have no idea and I've given up on the idea of him actually being sacked so it's the only hope. 3. Rovers Player of the Season 21/22 ? Brereton but Kaminski is gonna be bloody busy so he's bound to be a contender. 4. Where will Rovers finish the season ? So much is going to depend on injuries and we'll need a LOT of luck on that front. Obviously the Armstrong factor is a rather large one too. I do think there's some pretty poor teams though, particularly the promoted ones and Derby are in trouble. I'll go for 18th and another dismal season. 5. Who will be championship winners ? Between Fulham and WBA, I don't think Sheff Utd will be great and don't think any of the other teams will even come close.

There's literally 2 players on that list I'd like to have kept, Elliott and THB but obviously neither was an option anyway. I get your point though.

We're edging closer and closer to the start of the season with still a heavy emphasis on youth. Whilst it's normal to involve the younger lads pre season it seems a lot more crucial this time out. The team at Bolton should effectively be our starting 11 for the Swansea game so will give an even better idea. Could it be that after the Brockhall plan went tits up he's been told in no uncertain terms that he can go and bloody well use that academy talent now and no further funds are available? It's not cheap to run and they want some kind of return on it. Was Barr getting wind of this too and realised half the players he'd worked with last season wouldn't be available this? Possibly reading too much into it all mind.....

Diaz already skipping past players 🇨🇱 On another note, Mowbray wearing a face mask on his arm sums him up for me 🤣

At a time when the club are struggling to do literally anything right I suppose we should be happy the kits are superb IMO.
