I should have stuck to my conviction and refused to go to Ewood Park again whilst Pears started in net for us. He cost us against Ipswich and he gave away two calamitous goals again today. He can't play for us again.

I don't mind selling players on - you have to understand your place in the food chain - but the transfer funds generated need to be reinvested into the playing squad. At the moment they're solely going into running costs. You also have to get as much as you can out of the deal - you can't just give them away because a PL club comes calling.

PNE gifting another 3 points to a team in the relegation struggle. What a joke team they are.

We should be all over Rotherham's GK. Offer them Pears and £500k.

How he's not got that team promoted automatically is beyond me - and Swansea are suing him for breach of contract. What a guy.

And a goal disallowed for offside too (their fans ran on the pitch). Wonderful stuff. I had them down as taking all 3 there so that's about as good a result as we could have expected.

Have I mentioned how much I hate PNE? Pointless team.

Need a Rotherham result here, 'cos Huddersfield will fold now and they still have to play Birmingham.

That's got to be Huddersfield gone, right?

Shocking defending, but a great finish.

The bottom of the PL is objectively terrible. About 6 clubs deserve to go down.

This can't be the same Sorba Thomas that played for us - his delivery into the box is fantastic.

Him, Goodwillie, Ferguson - maybe we should just stop signing Scots?

And I hope Lancs don't pay him.

You can always count on PNE to finish with a whimper somewhere in midtable.

Like the 5 sub rule - fundamentally changing the fabric of the game to benefit the bigger, richer clubs.

Outside of cup games against lower league opposition, we haven't this season.

We drew against Rotherham and Huddersfield at home, lost to QPR at home and lost to Huddersfield away all within a few weeks. JDT was literally taking us down.

We're £25m richer though, which is the main thing for our CEO.

Exciting, perhaps, but the quality is dire.

Pickering gets done for pace and targeted every week. If he was quicker he'd be a fantastic Championship footballer. As it is he's average and gets rinsed some weeks.

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.

Without investment, yes. There are gaping holes in this squad.

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.
