If he's being offered double his wage, I'd say there's zero blame on him regardless. The only question is how much we can also blame the club. At 8k, yes we could very much blame them.

Liverpool have it sussed don't they, get big bucks for average youth products after loaning them to Championship sides. Took him from Celtic for 600k training compo 3 years ago, sent him to Boro on loan for a year, bam, 25 million. We raise Wharton all his life and get 18 million.

You know that Lemony Snickett here will just see it all as An Unfortunate Series of Events.

He was very, very highly rated here. He was our youngest ever debutant and attracted Prem clubs, he wasn't playing just to put out some academy minutes but because we saw him as having a bright future with us.

He was in our senior squad at 16. He's moved backwards. The only 'right thing' about it is for his short term pay packet.

Excellent

That was when we were in the Prem, completely different kettle of fish. And it was 7 in 33 actually. When Kuqi had been in the Championship the season before with Ipswich, he bagged 19 in 43.

Agreed, that cross was impressive. Maybe partly luck but he seemed to be in a blind alley and somehow lobbed it into a dangerous spot. His overall game did seem a bit less impressive than on his debut though, but he's not one I'm worried about as it stands.

Personally I think it can be a mistake to play a lot of your previous starting XI in the first round of the cup, due to fitness levels not being maxed out yet and having played a game 3 days earlier. It's a fine balance though if the rest of your squad is weak. We saw how much the keeper swap hit us, perhaps the same happened to them. However you slice it, terrific outcome for Donny.

And they got smashed. I also felt like my pumpkins had been smashed in the first 5 minutes.

I suspect that's not what that's a picture of. Why would he be going down there by train, it's not that far. Why would he be wearing his Rovers training kit, from last season if I'm not mistaken? The latest is that we rejected a fairly derisory bid. And yes that he wants out, but unless a much bigger bid has been made I can't imagine he's on his way down there just yet. They played these games with Brittain too and somebody came in with a better bid and they lost out. Hope it happens again, it would really rankle to see him go there right now.

Wow, that's a hell of a win for their reserve side. I assume it was against Boro's fringe and youth players too though, but still impressive.

I literally don't even know who Brackley Town are, and I've heard of tons of non-league shite, so that's a bit embarrassing.

Are you really surprised at this stage? Tbf this was a seasonal occurence under Mowbray.

Pardon, maybe I should have been clearer, in my analogy the rats were the players. Obviously the RAT rats are steering the fucking ship, through a sequence of icebergs, whilst telling us they have a plan, just not telling us that the plan is to remove all the rivets and silverware and sell them off to buy themselves a luxury yacht.

Tbf he has already had two loans in non-league, Bamber Bridge and City of Liverpool FC. Admittedly he could do with more after that showing. As much as I don't rate Pears, if we sell him we definitely need to buy or loan another more experienced keeper.

I would bring in another midfielder and sell the shit out of Buckley. I'm absolutely done with him. He has had far too many chances and doesn't even have the right attitude.

I'm sure I'm not the only one, but I find it highly depressing that our homegrown club captain has asked us to leave in order to join Derby fucking County. After our manager and two other players we've allegedly wanted to keep have also chosen to go there (possibly Brittain would have too if Boro weren't in). No disrespect to Derby, they're a solid old club, but this really shouldn't be the state of affairs here. Venkys have utterly ruined us. It's a miracle we're still a Championship side for now, let alone that we were in a position to barely miss the playoffs last season. But the fact all these players and the manager wanted off to Derby despite our utterly different league placings last season shows all is rotten behind the scenes. We're a sinking ship and the rats want out.

Once the guy collided into his left leg whilst he was moving, yes.

We are Blackburn Rovers. We don't get penalties.

Dirty bastards are Bradford

Unfortunately I don't think a midfield of Buckley and Montgomery is going to eke out better results.

The fuck was KM doing there just in front of the defence

Guess it's time to put him in the engine room then 🫣 At least it's his natural position I guess.

He's just played two of the worst passes I've seen in ages.
