Moran and Siggurdson scored 3 goals today and bagged 2 assists. Siggurdson scored a goal on Saturday. Does Broughton get any credit for that or no? We have our young striker who should be playing in the lower leagues in Leonard (and he's coming along nicely imo). Let's see how Telalovic develops - his goal scoring record in the lower leagues of Germany was good enough for Borussia Mönchengladbach to take a punt on him last year. He strikes me as a player that's just got a knack for scoring goals, despite not being the prettiest technically. We'll see. The O'Brien transfer has been debated to death - I know who I blame for that falling through and it's not our Director of Football (as he legally can't submit the paperwork to the EFL..).

You might have to be in the UK to view the SKY highlights, but they're here: https://www.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/12971320/blackburn-5-2-cardiff-carabao-cup-highlights

Well, having watched the highlights, both of their goals hit the side netting, so I can't imagine he was that calamitous.

I'm a big fan of Occam's razor. The website is back up because they're incompetent - they haven't deliberately turned away people buying tickets. These cup games are MASSIVE for Waggot's end of year report - it's essentially free money that he never could account for under Mowbray.

Which one of Markanday, Moran and Sigurdsson is playing as a #10?

It can't afford football at this level when it doesn't interact with the local fan base that's for sure.

This is the same Dolan that missed a sitter yesterday, right?

I hope he's angry at himself for picking Pears.

To be fair I wouldn't take my football opinions from Twitter, it's populated by morons.

Pears wouldn't get a game in my 7-a-side league on Wednesdays.

The only worrying thing about the shape is that they're trying to accommodate Travis (i.e. not asking him to receive the ball in tight spaces facing his own goal). The issue that causes is that he's nowhere if they break quickly.

JDT, right? Allardyce football bored me to tears and had me considering giving up my season ticket when we were a PL team.

He's made a few decent saves - he's not a bad shot stopper, but his all round game as a GK is f'ing awful.

Sadly with Hedges probably out for the foreseeable you'll be seeing a lot more of Dolan - unless JDT gives Gilsenan a go.

I wonder if he was before he destroyed his hamstring?

It's not suicide football though - our GK has thrown 2 in the back of the net and was VERY slow coming out for the 3rd. A good GK and we easily win this 3-1. He's an absolute clown.

This cunt has gifted them three fucking goals. Three.

Travis? Absolutely, he couldn't fight his way out of a wet paper bag.

Sensible yellow card from Carter there.

Travis is such an awkward footballer - as the senior CM he played his RB into trouble there and not for the first time.

Unbelievable save, that.

Cos he's coming back from a long-term groin injury and played 75 minutes on Wednesday for the U21s. I'd have given him 60 minutes unless he was complaining about being fatigued.

Brittain is a better RB than JRC - I'd play JRC on the right and let him roam.

So does Brereton-Diaz.

At least bring JRC on for the injured Hedges. Don't bring Markanday on, he's shite.
