Why not bring Gally on, conditions might suit him and he has a decent scoring record at Ewood this season. Grab a hat trick to celebrate that new contract. Or am I dreaming.

The ref didn’t give van Hecke’s active shoulder on their man just minutes before the penalty situation. So to be consistent he couldn’t give the penalty either. Consistency went out the window after that though.

If we keep this up we’ll be champions. Amazing

The bonus is outside of any existing contracts so Venkys can obviously set whatever terms they like on it. They are not stupid enough to provide bonuses for players who leave in january, that would defeat the entire purpose.

Hull on the other hand.. McCann misses out with Covid

Bournemouth are a very good team for this league, they frightened me in the opening minutes of both halves. We really struggled to get around their quick defenders. Great result. Will Kaminski get his place back when he returns from injury? Pears can actually kick a ball.

Pickering surely. Good save by Pears v Solanke but it was a poor finish TBH

Not allowing new data to change old beliefs is a massive failing that is fuelling some of the biggest issues facing society.

I think the return of the fans has made a massive difference for Mowbray. I absolutely hated his body language last season but he seems a changed man this time around and you can't really question his passion anymore. I fear one of the worst things that could happen for us right now is another lockdown.

Who doesn't love Harry Pickering?

Pfft Pears would have saved the penalty anyway

45 mins v Stoke and not a long throw to be seen. Strange times.

It should be, but I got nothing. So infuriating.

Big game, the kind we usually lose. If we could somehow get a win today it would be a huge statement of progress.

5 mins added

Yesss Brereton what a finish!!

Nyambe out. About time, I’m a big fan but he has been beyond awful today. Embarassing.

We are looking brighter now, but still a few players just not at the races.

Davenport off, Rothwell on

I would put Rothwell on for Travis, who has been poor. Should be able to afford that with Davenport playing.

My guess is that since Nyambe and Edun were clearly struggling, Ayala was brought on to push those two further up the field. Also we have been crying out for Ayala to handle all those set pieces into our box. MUST improve second half.

The linesmen are some of the worst I’ve ever seen, are they sleeping?

There's a good Tony

I've read somewhere that it's a 3 match ban for van Hecke After a good performance in our last match, I'd try to stick with the ones who did well - like Davenport and Poveda

I prefer his new haircut too but I wouldn’t go that far.
