He never looked destined for the Premier League, but it's true that he can't play in this system. He isn't good enough on the ball. -

He was excellent against Blackpool. He was subbed at half time against West Ham. Bearing in mind how many players have come on leaps and bounds under JDT I'm inclined to believe he's handling A. Wharton correctly - he is only 18. -

Weird thing to presume there's a grudge. -

This ref has given us nothing. I've lost count of the number of times our players have been bowled over without a free kick. -

On the contrary JDT clearly believes Wharton is a brilliant player, but he's 18 with maturity issues. -

We've literally had to sub Carter cos he's on a yellow. Thanks ref. -

Nah he's being bullied upfront. Needs to hold the ball up better than he currently is doing. -

That's disgraceful refereeing. Again. -

Pukki is a terrific player at this level. He makes incredible runs. -

That's a bad miss from Brereton Diaz. -

Fantastic save by Pears that. Is it me or have most of our players improved dramatically under JDT? -

You can see why he's not got game time though, he's not tracking back at all to help out Carter. -

Apparently Norwich are slowly starting to turn the screw in front of their own fans according to this commentator - which is an entirely different game to the one I'm watching. -

Exiled_Rover replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
He's tidy with the ball at his feet but he's brushed off it too easily and his workrate leaves something to be desired. There's a player in there somewhere. -

Why's that not a penalty for handball??! -

He's just incredibly clumsy. -
January Transfer Window.
Exiled_Rover replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Aren't a lot of the early deals completely untried youngsters on loan from the Premier League? Maybe we want permanents? Or a better quality of loan at least. -

You can expand that to most sports to be honest. Unless you're a player or a front line coach / executive you're taking a discount on your salary for the love of the game. -
January Transfer Window.
Exiled_Rover replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I think they were both cheap punts late in the window - remember Broughton and JDT didn't have a great deal of time to bring players in, we were literally trying to fill out a squad at that point. The two players JDT wanted to bring with him from Malmo went elsewhere for more money. ( Ahmedhodzic and Colak) This is a big window in my opinion because it'll show how much influence Broughton has on proceedings. We NEED to sell Brereton-Diaz and re-invest that money - has he earned enough respect from the Venky's now to convince them to do this at a reasonable price? Time will tell (also that 20% profit clause on Brereton-Diaz's deal is absurd after paying £7m for him - Mowbray got his pants pulled down). -

Madness if you ask me. We need funds to revitalise this squad and they're not coming from anywhere else - well besides someone poaching A. Wharton and Phillips. Sell before he leaves for nothing, automatic promotion is out of reach now. -
Championship - 22-23
Exiled_Rover replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
JDT rightly used the Carabao Cup as an opportunity for the fringe players to impress - we picked up some tremendous wins along the way so I can't see why anyone was complaining. Hopefully he put out a relatively full strength side tomorrow. -

You don't play for Alex Ferguson for nearly 200 games if you're a mug. -

It's all about re-investing the money wisely. If we just sold Brereton Diaz and threw the money into the black hole that is our debts then yes we'd be right to scream and moan. If he's sold and we bring in two very good players then it's a sensible piece of business. I'm genuinely curious whether Broughton has been able to persuade the owners that selling Brereton Diaz for £8m this transfer window is the right thing to do - I hope he has as that'd mean we'd finally have someone in charge who's building a sustainable operating model for the club.
