Thats venkys rovers of 15 years for you. Not comparable at all. Baradji looks like he can play from what we have seen. Forshaw has been better than Tavares and Henriksson though which says a lot. TGH whilst not brilliant shouldn't be put in with that group. Think Batth was much better last season than McLoughlin has been this season.

McLoughlin has been shown up playing in the middle of a 3. Been poor in my opinion. Think he's OK on the left of a 3, painfully slow though. Have to remember that Hull were quite happy to let him go on the cheap when they were banned from signing players, that should say a lot.

Considering Sheffield Wednesday are still selling tickets to there own fans for this game online over the Christmas period, why on earth would they say to Rovers "you need to take them off sale 6 days before the game"?! It's 100% a rovers decision because they can't be arsed with the hassle of it all, please stop jumping to there defence on everything that happens.

Thats the whole point!

Absolutely, completely agree on that. Point is, they could have put all the remaining tickets online, and with them being digital tickets people could decide to go over the Christmas period rather than being forced to make a decision 6 days before the game.

Not sure why you are so desperate to pass the buck to Sheffield Wednesday on this. It will be Sheffield Wednesday's decision to not sell them on the day, but its 100% Rovers decision to take them off sale 6 days before, and its all because the club is shut down until the 30th so there's nobody to oversee online sales. It's ridiculous.

Yep exactly as I see it.

As said previously I do think Henriksson will take one of them roles, and one striker will be signed to replace Gueye.

Looking a bit further ahead do we think Edmondson could be promoted in the summer as a midfield option? Similar to how Montgomery and Pratt have come from that level into the side this season. I'm not far from Macclesfield and there's a couple of lads at my work who follow them home and away and say what a good player he is at that level. Wondering if he can be groomed into the Tronstad role, but would obviously want someone else in too.

ers/status/2003030499707510851?s=20 Can you buy away digital tickets in the club shop?

Club closed at 4pm yesterday for Christmas so everything had to be taken off sale apparently even digital tickets. Blackburn Rovers 2025 logic.

That Roverspaper account is one of the worst on twitter. I don't find it weird at all. He is already ahead of where Lenihan, Wharton and Carter were at the same age. He just wasnt ready for Championship football when we signed him. Devlin from Hearts would be my choice, outnof contract in the summer although with the way they are going I dont imagine we would be able to prise him away at the minute!

Saw Ste B recently he is near me in N03. Glenn only goes very occasionally I believe, seems more into his ice hockey with his lad these days. Lee Grooby not seen for years, heard that he packed Rovers in due to how he was treated when he left the club but don't know if thats 100% true.

Sheffield Wednesday won't have told us to take tickets off sale 6 days before the game. It's because the whole club closes down at 4pm today and isn't back open until Tuesday the 30th, so they have taken the easy option of just taking them off sale. It's pretty ridiculous, especially with it being a digital ticket game so nobody needs to get them in the post or collect them from Ewood.

Exactly, so there is no point getting at the club for ignoring the letter when the match gong fans have ignored it too.

Not a chance.

Unfortunately, judging by Saturday it's been completely ignored by the vast majority of the match going fanbase too.

I still think we do need one centre back in January, ideally someone fairly experienced who can play in the middle of a back 3. You just can't rely on Wharton and Carter anymore, and I would be looking to move at least one of them on in the summer if we can. For me, I think even more important is that we move on Gueye and bring in two strikers. now we play with two up front. I like the look of the lad at Plymouth Tolaj, but imagine with only just going there we wouldn't be able to get him.

That was at Sunderland! Nonsense from the LT, you play your best players. Remember folk saying similar when Kaminski got injured in 2023 and Pears came in for a run in the side, although Pears didn't do a lot wrong it was crazy to have him starting with Kaminski on the bench.

He was last one off the pitch yesterday after the game and was moving fine, so hoping he's ok.

Unfortunately the "turn the taps off" protest wasn't in flow yesterday. Blackburn End concourse was busy at half time yesterday with pints and food on show all over. Also the boycott suggestion, I asked a couple of folk around me what they thought of it and they laughed and said not a chance. "I miss some games anyway I'm not being told to miss one that I can make" was a comment made to me. Unfortunately as a fanbase I dont think we are anywhere near the "official boycott" stage.

So does this mean all the venky bots are correct that there isnt anyone out there that will touch us? Because I find that really hard to believe, if the information you have been told is correct then how do we get it out there that the club is available?!

It's not that I dont believe Glen here, but I just don't believe the information you have been told that they will sell "without hesitation". If that was true I'm sure someone would have tested them by now. They will be here for another decade unfortunately, where we will be as a club who knows.

No fan of Ismael but I think he got it right today. Was concerned when saw Litherland on the team sheet that he would be in the back 3, but thought the decision to play him wing back was a good one, protected him and kept Miller where he is most comfortable. He had a great game for his debut too i thought. I'm not sure about Millers football ability but I thought he was an absolute warrior today, got battered all over the pitch but kept on getting back up and asking for more. Hard as nails and a few more performances like that will have him as an Ewood favourite. Ohashi and Tronstad were also very good I thought, with Cantwell showing some lovely touches as the game went on. Also good to see Pickering, nothing spectacular but defended when he had to and used the ball well when in possession. A few around me were moaning about the second half being terrible but with out home form/record it was exactly as it needed to be for me, kill the game and see out the win. Enjoyable stuff.

If you had followed the last 15 years, then you will know exactly what will happen.
