Outside of cup games against lower league opposition, we haven't this season. -
We're £25m richer though, which is the main thing for our CEO.

Exciting, perhaps, but the quality is dire.

JRC just played the 'EFL Young Player of the Year' off the park in CM. Why would you move him back to RB? Brittain is a better option there anyway (JRC struggles to get up and down - much like Pickering - and you have to cover for him). CM is the least of our worries. We need pace and physicality upfront, a proper GK and ideally a left footed Brittain to play LB.

Who turns like the Titanic, is clumsy and loves a 40 yard cross field ball into touch.

I wouldn't be surprised if a PL club or two sniffs around Carter in the summer - and obviously our new business model is to sell at the first sign of interest.

He's been a very good purchase - he's a damn sight better than the player he replaced (Lenihan). That said, he's not a captain and shouldn't be asked to take on a leadership role.

Talk about planning for next year is illogical - we simply don't know where we'll stand until late August and the resolution of that court case. It's just about getting over the line imo. This season has been a disaster - we've sold our crown jewel, we've run off our competent ambitious manager and we still don't know whether the owners can put a penny into the club to keep us running. Survive then take a deep breath and brace ourselves for more horrendous news coming out of Ewood / Pune is my advice. -
He tried to sell Scott Wharton before an injury crisis thrust him into the lineup. Sent him out on loan in his early 20s twice 'cos he didn't rate him.
-
His family are I assume.
-
We better have negotiated an unbelievable sell on clause for him after selling him so cheaply 'cos he's far too good for Crystal Palace and won't be staying there long.

Saw this live - lad has just won EFL Young Player of the Year. JRC took him to school yesterday - he's a fantastic player, just a shame he can't stay fit. -

Fixed it for you. -
Sam Szmodics-Your thoughts?
Exiled_Rover replied to BRFC4EVA's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
We're not built around Szmodics scoring - like we were when Armstrong scored a lot of goals (he was allowed to be incredibly selfish) - it's just that he's the only bugger that knows where the back of the net is. -
The new manager will undoubtedly bring in his own system next year.

I hate the term 'on the grass'. Another one that has seeped into the modern game. -

It's a must not lose. They'll give us all we can handle - we hate playing big, physical, aggressive sides. Especially from set pieces.
