Pears, Hyam and Tronstad have started every game this season, so ideally you take them 3 out. Could do with Batth being rested too but there isn't many options about.

Only 29! That was last season. Hasn't played a competitive game for over 16 months now, so no idea as he's not injured as he's played a couple of times in the PL2.

21-22 under Mowbray, played just ahead of Rothwell and Travis. He had a good season, had a real knack of winning the ball high up the pitch and feeding the likes of Rothwell, Diaz, Dolan, Khadra. One or two games too where he was gliding past people for fun. Since the end of that season, barring a 5/6 game run under JDT in Feb/March 23 where he was looking good again before he picked up his season ending injury he just hasn't got going again.

Notice period reverts back to 4 weeks for any games from March 1st onwards, reason being that Sky can't pick the games now as they could end up with a load of dead rubbers. They will obviously want to show the teams challenging.

Yeah, there would have been plenty over the summer that wouldn't have had a clue about the new TV deal before buying a ST. If Suhail and Steve were surprised how low the numbers were after "£30 off" then they will be in for a real shock next summer when they decide to rise them considerably.

Fully agree that the January window is very much a "here and now" window, no time for letting people bed in etc. Not particularly bothered whether they are loans or permanent signings, we need the best players that can make an impact now and not in 6/12 months. Not sure if they are Schlupp and Hanley etc but we'll see.

Year we won promotion under Souness.

It was indeed 6-1, think they equalised. They also did us in the 90th minute in the first leg to draw 1-1!

Scored though!

Pretty sure people said the same the last two years to be fair.

Maybe that's there preference, and nobody has the right to question them on it. Folk can spend there money how they please, going to Ewood isn't value for money the majority of time.

Presume Garrett & O'Riordan haven't already played in the FA Cup this season?

Just on the McGuire thing, I genuinely can't believe that there are still people out there that think the transfer didn't go ahead because somebody forgot to press send.

This time last season we were 10 points above the bottom 3, this season currently we are 16 above. Now, I'm sure we will be able to pick up points through organisation alone this season, but under this ownership I wouldn't rule anything out yet considering we won't strengthen where needed and have no regular goalscorers in the side.

Nearly 15 years on. They are here forever. 11 without a win against them lot, including losing the last 5 at Ewood on the bounce. Then you have there players openly taking the piss after the game. The above in a nutshell is what these owners have done to us. Here's to another 15 years.

Not doubting that part.

The last one had to go back because we're so incompetent. Oh let me guess, "things have changed now"

A striker currently playing in the MLS. What could possibly go wrong.

Did I really hear the stadium announcer saying "have a good afternoon" after the game in a really enthusiastic voice as thousands trudged out completely pissed off? Also imagine letting there players parade our corner flag around like that and just toss it onto the ground when finished. Another dark day in the history of venkys fc.

Could have been 400 minutes and it would have panned out the same.

I would hazard a guess we won't spend more that on a player this window.

Preston signed Lewis Gibson from Plymouth, really good left sided center back that can also play left back. Thought he would be ideal for us seeing as its one of the positions we are desperate for, but guessing we can't (won't) even compete with them on transfer fees now.

You're getting confused somewhere. His first serious injury was in December 2020, a long time before he signed this new deal. He signed this deal in March 2023 where he was a regular in the side or at least the squad, he did miss 5 or 6 games around this period with a small injury though. I suppose it's possible that he might have signed a new deal at some point during his first injury, but that wasn't what we were discussing.

9pm Saturday to midnight Sunday.

He signed the deal in March 2023 and got his serious injury in April 2024.
