No. He has one really good performance every ten games.

I think it was more just players being genuinely poor. Dolan having one of his 9 in 10 games, Hedges being completely finished at this level, Weimann demonstrating that his legs have gone and Pears being awful. We had chances in that game, but it was done at half time through individual errors.

Did you see the 'carefully orchestrated media output / fluff' from the club when Eustace was negotiating with Derby?

They've got to be the biggest Venky fans going. They'd be the first three out the door if we were ever sold.

The problem was always that he's not played for 9 months. Why he isn't playing every possible minute with the U21s and making 20+ minute cameos for the first team is beyond me. He has the ability to unlock teams at this level, but we're very rapidly running out of games.

It's genuinely impossible for a professional GK to look worse than Pears.

I see you're still playing Pears in goal. May I ask why?

Or built around him for a promotion campaign. He was already bossing the Championship as a 19 year old. There was absolutely no rush to sell him besides the obvious.

I hope the new lad is on £5k a week then or they're absolute morons.

I wonder if Brittain and Woodrow have already soured the squad on him. "Oh bloody hell, this guy. Say goodbye to your Sundays, lads".

Exactly, he's a poor athlete. He'll never make it in the Championship.

I'll never be happy about that transfer. Broke my spirit as a fan.

Depends who much he's being paid a year.

Well considering he tried to break Yorke's leg in a five a side I can believe that.

Go look at his managerial history. He's been sacked basically everywhere he's been except Barnsley - and often within 12 months.

Is he paying for that GK out of his own pocket?

I hope he takes that sword into the Boardroom with him before he leaves. Only then will I bend the knee.

That would have been impossible to do pre-January. Now it's possible but the guys coming on at 60 minutes are a massive step down from the starters.

I don't think it's anything to do with LCB and RCB. It's when he's the senior CB. He doesn't lead - he needs someone else to organise the defence and tell him what to do. McFadzean and Batth both did it - in those scenarios he looked like the Coventry player we signed.

They'll still be here when we finally turn the lights out. Incredible they've lasted so long.

We've already got an Unsullied in goal.

The lad would be waxing lyrical about Kean if he was appointed as our new manager tomorrow.

Charlotte is an incredibly dull city so I'm sure he fancies a change.

You've put way more thought and effort into it than our Board have.

I suspect the bookies wouldn't pay out when they find out the address of the account was Ewood Park.
