We have a pitiful 9,000 ST holders, it’s of course understandable why after 12 years of these abhorrent owners, indeed fair play to every one of the 9,000 that have stuck with it, we know exactly who is to blame for these numbers and it ain’t the supporters… but ‘very good’ in the context of the booming division we are in (and the rest of football) it ain’t.

We could, we could not. Far too early to be making any kind of judgements after his first 70 minutes of league action this season. Plus he didn’t even have a poor game anyway. He’s actually struggling to make an impact in, say, October then fair enough as it’s a loan and we can’t be waiting months for an impact. But this early? Lad needs to get up to speed, because as you’ve just said elsewhere it’s a tough League to adapt to, so a bit of an odd view, J*B, but hey ho game of opinions and all that.

Forget Harrogate, neither here nor there (sorry Phil) So he’s played one game and did perfectly fine. But even if he had struggled players don’t get chance to get up to speed with you then?

Questions about Moran?! Presumably that solely down to him being new? Absolutely nothing to suggest he won’t offer plenty so far.

He’s 19 and being asked to run the game in a tough league every week. What are you expecting to see?

So I’m not supposed to be thanking the owners for it now?

Very enjoyable this, I read…

Just need him to let me know to who. JDT? The players? The new bus? Though probably it’s to Phil himself for not applauding his wisdom, us east Lancs cave dwellers do disappoint him so…

‘Apologise’? To who? 😄 It was a great win, nobody is suggesting otherwise, it’s in the history books in black and white. However, they were a very, very poor outfit, so it obviously doesn’t mean JDT is now a superior Rovers manager to Hughes and Souness on the back of it. Just silly to suggest so.

They were the reserve side of a fourth division outfit. Great fun all round, but it means absolutely nothing either way re JDT suddenly leapfrogging two club legends in Hughes and Souness on the back of it. You don’t half come out with some out there stuff.

Now moved to the Sunday at noon due to the cup tie… the wait goes on!

Think you are getting a little carried away. We all enjoyed it, who wouldn’t? The development of these young lads is terrific, JDT’s approach to cup football is terrific. But saying this one result against a fourth division second XI now means JDT’s now our best manager since Kenny, that it’s ‘miraculous’, that the ‘magnitude isn’t registering’ with these uniquely miserable east Lancastrians is just a *tad* hyperbolic. As an example of your hyperbole, a side just seven places higher in the table than their opposition went there and won 7-0 a couple of years back, now that looks a far bigger achievement than giving Harrogate’s reserves a tonking.

You’ve come to that conclusion post thumping a fourth division club’s second XI? I love the bloke, but he obviously can’t be seen as superior to Hughes or Souness at this stage.

That story was from 9 days ago, nothing has changed since, I don’t think. Ease in after the international break is the plan, no?

‘Sulphurites’ though 👌

We’ll end up playing at a daft time on the Saturday night to avoid ‘fixture congestion, ‘player welfare’… then both sides will make 11 changes.

Doesn’t bother me as long as they aren’t giving it the big ‘un when/if they score. Surely we’ve all taken an away fan with us to Ewood at some point or other.

More attacking than Kenny and Souness? Not sure about that. It’s just that football tactics have changed since their era.

Must be the earliest start ever for the annual kit shambles.

Very, very bitter set of fans, unsurprising when unlike pretty much every other club in this region they’ve achieved the square route of feck all since Finney.

Don’t we all want that?

It’s taking over the world one chippy at a time… https://www.lancs.live/whats-on/food-drink-news/blackburn-chippy-tiktok-john-bull-27578061

Just like Athletic Bilbao, inspired by the mighty Rovers, indeed the belief is they got their first shirts from us.

A load of their fans are.

You’ve literally just changed it 😄
