Hes had his side locked down so far this season against some quick players. When fully fit he uses his exceptional positioning and reading of the game to offset the lack of pace. Admittedly when returning from injury or not at 100% he can be more easily exposed. Technically very good too which seemingly goes unnoticed.

Keep calm, I'm confident it gets announced this evening once hes done his medical.

Appalling but not surprising. Improved communication? Give over, we need to get these owners and all the clingers on far and away from this club to end this nightmare.

Surely the time for improved communication is long gone? They need politely informing that the only positive outcome now is putting the club up for sale immediately.

Always an exciting time when the fixtures are released regardless of off the field issues. Derby at home on a Friday night gives us a chance to put points on the board early albeit not many new signings expected in our eleven.

Prices are reasonable if you purchase via the early bird offer, which I have done. Sadly they went on sale far later than they should have done and the early bird offer doesn't give most people the time they need.

Very very underwhelming. Last job as Lee Johnson's assistant at Hibs and not been able to find a new job for almost 12 months. Also doesn't seem to last very long in a job in recent years. Cheap and a yes man for Steve as he clings on for as long as he can IMO.

Fantastic effort by those at Ewood yesterday. The heat must remain on Steve the chancer and the owners, win, lose or draw, until they move on.

This really needs to go happen. Show him that we are insulted by his behaviour today.

A new low for slimey Steve. Trying to use the players to get sympathy and stop the fully justified criticism of him and the owners.

We have no hope. Just spoke to a fellow fan on the train who described the transfer window as very good under the circumstances and no concerns over the ownership. Said he felt more connected to the club than ever and that we would be in serious trouble if it wasn't for the owners. When asked about the decade absence I was told to be grateful for the monetary support over the years.

White handkerchiefs in the air on the 23rd minute Saturday?

Strange as I thought we played some scintillating football and could have had 5 or 6 on another day. JDT is working wonders and turning water into wine. Roll on Wednesday.

Very good player who we were linked with a few years ago while at Fleetwood. A shame its only a loan but this lad will be a fans favourite by the end of the season and it will be a shame to see him go back to his parent club.

Hull In Rosenior they have a promising young coach without anything significant to note just yet on his CV. Hull have some good players in Greaves and Tufan but certainly aren't a side we need to fear. They've beaten a very poor Sheff Wed and lost at Carrow Road so its difficult to gauge where they are at based on those two games. Rovers Positive signs with the style of play firmly implemented by Jon a year into his reign. Whilst Venkys and Swag continue to ensure he has one hand tied behind his back, he's built a good team which could really be a force in this league with 2 or 3 quality additions. Unfortunately those signings aren't likely so we will continue to punch above our weight but the lack of experience and quality will hurt us.
