I think he's improved massively this season under JDT, but there's no getting away from the fact that he's a poor athlete at this level and he's there to be got at. -

Well we missed 4 golden chances against Rotherham and a couple against Boro, so I'd suggest it's a big part of the equation. -

Which is why I wanted Cantwell. Very similar player, would have provided great balance. -

Another shocker from Brereton-Diaz. -

Can you sort your posts out, please. You always have a massive blank space beneath them that makes reading the board more annoying. Thanks. -

Who they bought from Europe, yes. -

The Gallagher contract extension was criminal then and remains so now. You can't possibly he holding him up as the standard - Mowbray did that to spite us. He'll be one of our top earners and he's simply not good enough to warrant that. -

Why would you keep track of European players as a fan when we don't have a European Scout? -

We need a goal scorer more than anything else. Brereton-Diaz didn't return from the World Cup break and everyone else is missing golden chances. We beat both Boro and Rotherham if ANYONE could take the golden chances we created. -

I see. No concrete plan. Got it. -

Just out of interest, what's your promotion plan? I assume spend money we don't have and hope to go up automatically - competing against 3 teams with fresh massive parachute payments and half a dozen more multiple years into their parachute payments. What's your plan if that worked and we went up? You'd have to buy a totally new squad, right, like Forest? What's your plan if you failed to catch Burnley / Sheff Utd / Watford / Norwich et al and had spent £10m in the process? -

Sadly that's a bigger role. -

You think we're in a position to drop one of our few goal threats? Do you like relegation battles? -

You'll have Trading Standards on the phone if you're marketing Gallagher as a forward. -

He'd been in the building like 3 weeks - he simply doesn't have the credit in the bank right now with the owners to get them to budge from their ridiculous £15m asking price. I'm sure if he had free reign he'd have negotiated some of those £8m offers up a little and cashed in. You're asking him to perform miracles - he's already achieved a lot in 6 months and the signing of a promising CB and a proper backup GK this window (already) shows that there is succession planning. Rome wasn't built in a day. -

Broughton said lower third of the Championship when it comes to wage budget on that ASD Podcast. Basically they're approaching it the right way - our Academy costs us £3.5m a year and is one of the best in the country. That, coupled with some shrewd signings, is the only way we're going to progress as a team - we should lean heavily on it. -

Offering Gallagher a new deal was criminal at the time and remains so now. -

God that's painful to read. Us being compared to Wigan, Preston, Blackpool and Burnley. I long for the days when they were irrelevant to us, rather than peers. -

I love the first comment that we have 5 keepers on the books. We have 1 that I'd trust. -

Where's Henderson these days? He's a better keepers than Raya - assume they sold him? -
You’ve lost that loving feeling?

8/10. Lost me at saying the Broughton / JDT duo are a farce. -
You’ve lost that loving feeling?
Exiled_Rover replied to Tom's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I fell out of love with the club when we protested against the owners and Kean and the football world turned its back on us. I gave up my season ticket at that point as I was exasperated with how things were going. It's not the same club I loved growing up - one I was SO proud to support. These Indian owners have ripped the heart and soul out of the place. I renewed my season ticket about 3 years ago because I missed going to football matches with my parents - however I attend without anywhere near the same passion. The standard of the league is, quite frankly, abysmal and so are the players. Once you accept that it's a much more enjoyable experience - you certainly don't get attached to the players like you did Tugay / Jansen / Emerton et al because they're interchangeable mediocre journeymen these days. There's no magic at Ewood anymore. -

Don't fancy our chances here - we've failed to convert a glut of golden chances against Boro, Cardiff and Rotherham. Until someone starts doing that consistently we're going to continue to lose games we should be winning.
