  1. I can’t watch or listen to his rubbish, he’s just another Kean, talking absolute rubbish and not seemingly watching the same games we are. At least JDT had pride and spoke with honesty, even if his tactics were failing, this guy is a journey man and taking a wage for misleading us fans and talking rubbish.
  2. The year we got promoted under Dalglish we had a terrible run of form also, won 2 of the last 10 games only, including a Speedie inspired win away at Plymouth on the last day which I was at, this season is ending very similar as if we win these two games left we will have won 2 out of the last 10 games, in 92 we lost 6 in a row before drawing 2 and winning 2 to scrape in to the play offs. The games vs Derby and the win at Wembley against Leicester remain up there with the best games I can remember, I was 13, not sure my 44 year old self can take the stress!
  3. This isn't normal trade though, is it a players fault if the club haven't prepared them well for the game and they get injured, or is it the payers fault? What if some chodder takes them out? I understand the reasons for this in normal working conditions but for instance if you get injured at work normally you would get full pay, and maybe even some compensation if the employers was at fault. To say footballers should get sick pay if someone has broken their leg seems a little harsh to me.
  4. This is bloody awful, be a bonus to get in to half-time at 1-0 as we deserve to be digger behind.
  5. All signings and contracts are subject to the leagues approval, if that doesn’t happen there is no deal, no claim or liability possible. What will cost us is any future deal with Forest, LOBs agent, or any other club and agent that have paid attention to this farce. Everyone needs to move on, including the half wits that messed this up, and put in place a robust system to ensure that doesn’t happen again.
  6. Fantastic to see the effort and application the players put in tonight, hopefully gives them belief in a few big league games coming up. As a side note, that’s probably worth another 0.5m just for getting through, so at least 1m more than we probably budgeted for by getting this far. That’s massive for a club like us trying to manage FFP. Onwards and upwards.
  7. Only just found out that all the FA Cup games are live on the BBC red button, webiste or app.
  8. Becuase that risk was worth taking for someone that could significantly improve our chances of getting out of this league, and paying 10m to get many 100ms back was a great bet, especially as if the bet failed it didn't cost you 10m.
  9. Assume there was no rush with the Rochdale lad as he would have stayed with them until the summer anyway, ala Pickering with Crewe, and all focus was on the O'Brien deal, which on the face of it seems the EFL made it more complicated and caused panic and loss of time. If that is right then the EFL are ####s and the transfer should go through, but they won't allow it so we will lose out.
  10. Also, could this work in Broughton's favour if behind the scenes he says those he isn't responsible for fecked this up and they get potted.
  11. Who knows, maybe this will motivate the current lot to show us they are worthy of the shirt and we had nothing to worry about....

  13. I can only apologise, due to travelling and other commitments since the successful debut of the shirt I haven’t worn it since as wasn’t able to watch the games. That will be corrected this evening as I’m home and the shirt is with me so will be at Ewood, specifically my old stomping ground of the Blackburn End, this evening to help get us back to winning ways.
  14. Top arrived this week in the Netherlands so wearing it for the first time for tonight’s game, hopefully brings some good luck and an upturn in our performances. Happy with the fit and quality, love it.
  15. Football really is a magical thing, and people believe in different types of magic as well as having differing views. We win 3 games and all is good, still needs some additions but those who said we wouldn't get a point before Sept 1st couldn't wait for the first defeat to throw the players and club under the bus. Last night was poor, Mowbrayesque if you like, toothless, energyless, feckless, but I will still give it some time to judge the new management team and the impact they will have. Under Mowbray that would be the start of 4 or 5 games without a win, if we get 4 points from the next two games I'd say we are in a fantastic position, 3 very good, 2 decent first 5 league games of the season, 0 disaster. All of those scenarios would be slightly better if we get 3 or 4 first team players in, by the same token, if we get 6 points and no signings I would extremely concerned for what is to come. Pickering obviously has a target on his back for many, I don't think he was the worst player on the pitch last night, that for me was Buckley, who I am a big fan of, he offerred nothing in that position last night, gave the ball away, wasn't incisive, didn't control the game as he needs to. Travis, Ayala and Phillips were all left exposed and looked like it was them 3 against the reading 11 at times as most other players didn't turn up. That is my opinion on what I watched and where we are right now, not celebrating and not throwing myself off a cliff, I have watched Rovers for best part of 40 years and know we have good times and we have bad times, I'm hopefull we are transitioning from a bad time but will need to have patience for the "project" as JDT has said many times. I do wish we had different owners, but it is what it is and quite frankly the Walker Trust are to blame for that IMO, it is not healthy to get so wound up, swinging from ecstatic to depressed on 1 result.
  16. This is a massive game due to the start we’ve had, people will have to take notice and surely helps any recruitment if we get a positive result against the Baggies. It’s very early in the new JDT era, but let’s not forget that even Mowbray had us unbeatable for a period last season, imagine what a decent manager and support staff could do! Everyone in the media loves Bruce, all tipping them him and then to do well this season, I hope we are in that conversation after Sunday.
  17. I also remember the promotion team under Souness having Duff, Dunn and Johnson who had come through and were shining, Jansen was signed from Palace as a young man the year or so before and ripping it up in that league, think we had Tiny Taylor at the back too. Added to that was the experience of Hignett, Short, Bjornbye, Hughes and Flitcroft. That was an awesome team for that division, only betterred by a very good Fulham side. That team would walk this division today, great mixture of very talented youths from the system and very good, experienced players.
