£10m according to who? Personally I'd take £10m if we receive it on 1 January and are allowed to re-invest it all into the squad. Obviously neither of those things are going to happen.

That's clearly not based on ability.

That #10 for Birmingham is an absolute menace. If I was their manager I'd be doing everything to get him 90 minutes fit. No CB in the Championship can handle him.

Is he not in jail yet?

Hopefully the complete opposite. A nice win for Sunderland to keep the wolves from Tony's door, please. As long as he's in charge they're irrelevant in the division.

He wouldn't play anyway, so I'm delighted we won't have to see Pears in a League fixture.

He really needs a song at this point - and not just "JDT's blue and white army".

I've read that Phillips has a niggle, so I imagine he was there in case of emergency. Batty isn't a CB.

At the end of the day it's another game. Win, lose or draw it won't define our season. JDT rolled the dice putting Szmodics (albeit we know Dack can't play 90) and Brereton on. It hasn't worked, but I appreciate him reading that the game was there to be won and going for it.

They're speculating on RoversTV that Mola is injured / knackered.

Obviously sees that the game is there for the taking, so why not roll the dice for 30 mins?

I'd more than happily take that.

On that goal he was very lackadaisical, which is exactly what JDT has been trying to drill out of him. The talent is there, but the application isn't at the moment.

Check your PMs.

4-2-3-1 with Mola and Carter at CB (JRC at RB)?

Blackpool were missing 14 first team players yesterday (apparently). Even Sheffield United have complained about injuries on commentary last night. The fixture list is insane.

Probably because we've been playing twice a week since August.

Sheffield United currently 1-0 down. Another reason why you won't hear me complaining about the professional performances we've put in of late - we've just consistent won in a league where it's very easy to slip up. I do wish Swansea would stop winning though!

We're nearly halfway through the season and people are still clamoring after a tough tackling, mobile CM. You're simply not going to get much better than Travis at this level for that job... and what he's proven is that we need a CM that can pass the ball.

Why would someone bid £25m for Chris Wood in January? Teams get desperate, especially those trying to stave off relegation. I personally don't think the right offer will come in, but football is a funny old game.

But he is for sale. JDT has been refreshingly honest in his interviews so far. He's said that promotion isn't part of the plan this year - i.e. enjoy riding this wave and he's aware that if the right bid comes in we'll sell Brereton. As good as a player Brereton is, we'd be foolish to turn down £10-15m for him. That money could be re-invested into our threadbare squad. It'll all come down to people meeting our valuation within a certain timeframe i.e. leaving us enough time to get a couple of replacements in. Deadline day transfers will be told to f' off, as they were in the summer. Where we are in the league at the time will be irrelevant I think.

He's not converting chances at the ridiculous rate he was pre-Christmas 2021. That's about the only difference.

You've clearly not been listening to JDT's "Team first" messages. Armstrong is the most selfish player I've ever seen at Blackburn Rovers.

On talent he should be on the bench - albeit he clearly can't turn anymore after those two knee injuries. Obviously something has gone on behind the scenes - we'll find out what eventually.

They're genuinely not good enough to get near him if he's on song.
