Of course, though difficult when we don’t have too many options. Tronstadt stepping up will help on that front… not sending JB to Sheffield without a replacement might have also helped.

Of course he has, he’s a teenager. It’s the fault of the owners and that shambolic window post mid-July that has heaped far too much pressure on his shoulders.

Rovers (and now England) fans have always been a big disappointment to our Eddie.

Only at PL level, most EFL clubs have gone the other way on prices since Covid… well I can think of one notable exception.

Definitely gets to open sale. Maybe it wouldn’t for an FA cup tie on a Saturday, but it will for this.

I get why they do it, but it’s only just become the in vogue thing thirty years later.

‘He’s a number 6’ ‘a number 8’ makes me laugh 30 years after they scrapped 1-11.

Ames article here… https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/oct/14/what-is-the-future-of-european-football-in-10-years Chaddy says there’s definitely *no chance* the Super League will ever rear its head again so Ames must be scaremongering.

Those were the days https://x.com/bryansgunn/status/1713448693280440366?s=46&t=0qpJAzFbB4pruhsuQZIcKg

Just play internationals in a big block so we can stop this 💤 fest three times in three months.

Excellent news, get rested up for Cardiff, Sammie lad! (Kenny will be out the door soon enough anyway).

Nowt to worry about reading the comments, fantastic owners.

So the rented coach is now being further sub-let, layers.

As seen with the Blackburn End debacle, Swag obviously thinks he’s done his comms for the year with the peacock strutting ‘we’ve got a new bus, you know’ interview.

The misattributed Sun Tzu quote… ‘Burn it to the ground and rule over the ashes’ always springs to mind with this lot.

1991 - ‘Think Big’ 2023 - ‘Think about how we save two grand by closing the Blackburn End’

Nice for the club to be able to make up the non forthcoming £20 million Venky payment in other ways. Will keep the bills paid for another few months… not sure who we sell next time though.

Good win last night for the Academy. But with Rovers now a cup team, plus Ewood now hosting decent numbers of U21, U18 and Women’s games (plus cold day training sessions when they decide not to use the indoor facilities at Brockhall)… let’s hope the pitch holds up through the winter.

Second though? This place was in despair a week ago, hurtling to relegation by all accounts, but we then hammered a team, which was just what we needed to calm some nerves. We were nowhere near as bad as all that a week ago, but we aren’t finishing second either post spanking a terrible QPR either, especially as January sorts the wheat from the chaff and I don’t know about anyone else but in my view a strengthened squad for that far away football club they somehow still own will be the last thing on the mind’s of these owners. We need a Realistic Thread to finish the set…

Think we need a Super-Duper Optimism thread for Phil. 2nd?! File it will Adam Wharton being more advanced than Bellingham was at the same age. 😁

You want to sum up that lot, was talking to our new apprentice the other day, PNE fan. He asked me ‘so who’s your Prem team then?’ Presumably he has the PNE badge tattooed on one arse cheek, Liverpool’s on the other.

‘Those Plastics think they have a divine right to success’

From a few pissed up away fans, had fantastic support at home considering just how poor a £7million signing he looked for such a long period of time. Great support, as always, though ‘Ewood’s a jury’ and all that. 🙄

We still would because Gillingham or whoever would have a Tuvaluan international.

When did Rovers fans turn on him?
