To be fair Gayle is a diving cunt who could very well have been sent off this half for two bookable offences. -

If Morton is playing CB then he was awol for the warmup - Phillips and Ayala were doing heading with a coach and Morton was off elsewhere. My guess is 4-2-3-1 / 4-3-3. -

Do we? Vale I don't think is good enough for this level. Buckley is much better used in CM. Dack hasn't played for 2 years. Dolan is an impact sub. Markanday keeps on being run out with the U21s. -
Transfer Window - COMPLETE. Where’s Gregg?
Exiled_Rover replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
He's not even got a squad number - they've clearly wanted him gone for a while, just can't find any suitors. -

You saw that when they played us. The teams you expect to be competing for promotion in this league all have much stronger benches than us. -

Exiled_Rover replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
At the moment it's weaker on paper because we haven't flooded the team with 5 PL loans. I'll judge again when the window closes - I'm hoping that we don't bring in too many more on loan because it doesn't benefit us if we're not in a promotion race. -

I wouldn't wish Mowbray on my worst enemy. -

Can you make a catchy chant out of his name though? Clearly this is a consideration of JDT and Broughton to improve the atmosphere at Ewood. "Give me Sammie Szmodics" to Supersonic needs to be sung and of course "Hyam the one and only" writes itself. -

Exiled_Rover replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I think his preferred formation is 4-2-3-1, but he likes the option to switch to a 3-4-3 against stronger opponents. He tried it against Sheffield Utd before realising we simply didn't have the CBs to pull it off that day. -

Yep, if we bring in Caulker and Hyam then Sepp van den Berg is surplus to requirements. Otherwise you're just blocking the chance for Carter to play, which goes against what they say the new model is. In my opinion we're desperate for a LB that can mirror what Brittain does at RB - that would improve us as a team more than any other signing we could make. -

Exiled_Rover replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
These kind of comments are so disingenuous. Brittain last played in L1 in 2020. Did Szmodics not score 6 goals in the Championship last year? -

Except Broughton didn't have the option of keeping any of Rothwell, Lenihan or Nyambe. -

The Brentford model doesn't work post-Brexit. Many of the 'gems' they found simply wouldn't qualify for a work permit anymore. -

Exiled_Rover replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
That's not enough if we want to challenge anywhere near the Playoffs. From what I've seen JDT is a fantastic manager, but you only have to look at the benches of Sheffield Utd, Boro, WBA, Norwich, Watford etc to see 3 isn't enough. -

There's no way you just called Edun a LB! It's why I keep asking how far away Batty is, because Edun is terrible at LB. He almost sulks when asked to play there - his body language is completely different when asked to play in CM. -

It's a curious signing if they're also bringing in Hyam. Pushes Carter down to 5th in the pecking order, which he won't be happy with. He needs to play most weeks at this point in his career. -

Exiled_Rover replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I think woefully short at LB, CF and RW. Vale should be out on loan somewhere. Dolan / Markanday don't fill me with confidence as starters and Gallagher is what he is. In midfield I think you've got 5 (6 if you include Edun) for 2 spots, that's enough. -

Tells me they've been rebuffed on multiple targets if they've settled on him. He will have been way down the list. Disappointing signing on the face of it. -

Just whoever pays the asking price in a timely manner will suffice. I've no concerns about their career once they leave Rovers -
