Just alternate the colours of the halves - world's your oyster. Red, yellow, orange, green. Knock yourselves out, designers.

Maglorie needs to go out on loan for a year to refine his game - he has all the physical attributes you look for, but he made three or four crucial errors that could have resulted in goals. He's not ready for the first team yet.

Money is tight. We survived a season with the Canadian as our #2. We can survive a season with Fisher in that role. He's not good enough though, that's for certain.

I'd like the players to get minutes into their legs in their correct position.

Mowbray had a good 60 minutes. Then he took off the front 3 and put a 5'6" 18 year old winger upfront. Tactical genius.

Hope not, Travis is losing that.

What time is kickoff?

I'm always amazed why we don't replicate the famous halves in our away kit. It's marketing 101 - see a halved shirt, know it's Blackburn Rovers.

Fantastic player, at this level, but he'd cost all of our transfer budget (and probably then some).

You're assuming we're not playing with wingbacks today.

Not at the back it isn't.

I'm surprised my mate never ended up with him - Scotland fan, football fanatic and HAS been hit on by him. I guess he must just be that much of a dickhead.

Rothwell plays CM. Chapman doesn't play. Vale and Butterworth are just breaking through - perhaps they need to go out on loan. I think the bigger question is where do you play Wonderkid Buckley and Dack?

Aren't they dead and buried yet? Season starts in a week.

Pretty sure it's more that Barca and La Liga (which is just about the most corrupt football organisation going - which is saying something!) conspired to make it impossible for him to leave. They were asking for a £700m transfer fee. The £63m 'loyalty bonus' is just to keep him quiet.

This is worse than the Below The Line comments for a David Squires comic in the Guardian. Have we determined whether this is on YT yet?

One leads to the other.

They'll be paying the vast majority of that out in wages. I've also heard that every Board member who's lent them money over the years to keep them going has been paid back with interest.

Cunningham won't be cheap though. There's a difference between an upgrade over Bell (which should be easy to find) and a cost effective upgrade over Bell.

We were playing a L2 player at LB and an attacking midfielder at RB. Not to mention our GK was playing his first professional game. We're fucked if we don't recruit more defenders, but Wharton isn't the problem.

He started the League Cup game and looked our best defender.

Nice of you to write Wharton off after one game.

There's a common theme in that list.

I'd welcome Duffy, Orr and Murphy back on £45k a week if it guaranteed promotion.

We were a better team under Bowyer. Whether it was him or his dad, we brought in talented players. Like Mowbray he brought in players that didn't fit the system we wanted to employ simply because they were available, but at least we sold them for a profit.
