That *was* the January Window

They've pissed £200m+ up the wall - they're clearly not in it for the money. -

Personally I think Broughton is doing a fantastic job. Both he and JDT will go on to bigger and better things than this incarnation of Blackburn Rovers. -

I've barely seen him play, so I can't judge, but JDT clearly doesn't like him. -

I'd be surprised - have Bournemouth had a rash of injuries at CB? He's going to get far more playing time here than there. I assume it's just Broughton building for the future - they must really fancy this player to pay £500k for him when on paper he's no better than fourth choice this season. -

He turned down a move to Europe in the summer. -

JDT probably has ours with their feet up cos it's been the same 13-14 players playing every week for 3 months. -

Season done I'm afraid. No investment in the summer and a raft of injuries, coupled with a ridiculously congested fixture list has just killed us. The players are dead on their feet out there, it's painful to watch. -

No size or pace. No thanks. -

With all that wine he drinks he'd have to sign a waiver first. -
v Watford (h) 23/12/23
Exiled_Rover replied to We Are The Rovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
It's no coincidence that they've not offered him a new contract with only 6 months remaining on his deal - bet they can't wait to get him off the wage bill. -
v Watford (h) 23/12/23
Exiled_Rover replied to We Are The Rovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I actually reckon Rovers could be onto a good little earner if they offered out the bench places to sponsors. At least 3 of them every game at the moment are unplayable in the Championship, so why not get someone like Mercer kitted up for a couple of grand a match? -
v Watford (h) 23/12/23

We're not going up and we're not going down. The season was over when the Summer Transfer Window slammed shut again without a First XI striker walking through the door. Today was just like watching a car crash in slow motion - one we watch every week at the moment and one everyone around me in the Jack Walker saw coming. We played Watford off the park, but they made 5 subs and changed the game with their energy. We made 2 planned subs for players returning from injury (Hyam / Ennis - Hill / Leonard)... and then our 3rd change was a bloke most of us can agree simply isn't up to this standard. Their GK was the clear MOTM btw - he made 3 absurd saves. -

Mowbray pissed a substantial amount of money up the wall, unfortunately. -
v Watford (h) 23/12/23
Exiled_Rover replied to We Are The Rovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I knew I'd come back to people slating the GK. He made 3 excellent saves today - and the 2 goals he's made the initial save from difficult shots and his (tired) defenders have been second to the loose ball. If he was good enough to palm those wide / somehow smother them he'd be playing in the PL. -

I'd be amazed if he's here come the summer. Broughton should be sounding out replacements now. -
Cos it works for him - he's able to put himself in the shop window for a big free transfer in 18 months time, especially if he's not going back to Russia and he's quite happy here.

It explains why he's been poor the last few weeks. -
v Southampton (a) - 16/12/23
Exiled_Rover replied to NeilInBristol's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Cos their players don't get booked for similar or worse offences. Brittain's first yellow card was for a shirt pull in their third of the field. Their LB indicated that Brittain should get booked - a yellow card if you're following the new rules, but obviously the ref turned a blind eye. Their player didn't get booked for scything A. Wharton down in the D with a mistimed slide. It's literally one rule for one and one rule for the other. -

He's a RB playing out of position. -

Right, that's me done for this one. Enjoy your afternoon, lads. Fuck the EFL. -

Has there ever been a game where you've had a clue? -

We're getting absolutely nothing from this ref. Again. -
v Southampton (a) - 16/12/23
Exiled_Rover replied to NeilInBristol's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Yep, my big complaint with JDT - doesn't use his subs enough. Has to try Ennis / Leonard / Garrett / Travis / Gilsenan. -

They're also talking about us like they're the ones that have won the Premier League. -

He's a Man City loanee I think. Was at Burnley last year.
