What I would say is we have manoeuvred ourselves into a very handy position. Remember we hadn’t even had our 7-0 hammering from Fulham yet this time last season which left us plodding away in mid table. The charge only getting going with the Sheff Utd win in early November. So there’s every chance of a play off berth… especially if there is some backing in January (which surely there must be as it was TM himself that decided not to spend according to a few on here with the owners poised with the cheque book).

Strange, strange man.

Didn’t say he did do a bad job. Doesn’t mean he’s now going to walk into another Championship job, it’s an extremely competitive market, so walking out of one to go and be a number 2 was a risky thing to do, you can be very easily forgotten (nice bit of dosh trousered though).

Are some of you being purposely obtuse re Hasta’s posts? You can have two thoughts at once. I.e yes you may think BD shouldn’t expect to start, but he’ certainly should’ve expected more minutes in those games that we were looking devoid of ideas

Looking at the latest FF minutes they are going to need ‘further discussions’ re a Tony Parkes tribute… so that’s about two years he’s been ‘looking into it’ now. On the football side there has been much progress, alas the Swag side of the club is as laughable as ever…

So what ideas of yours have they taken on then, 1864? Considering you are a regular down there…

One season, finished 16th. Not exactly a record that’s going to have clubs knocking his door down. Who knows, he may get a decent job at some point, but chasing the dosh instead of carrying on his development as a manager means he could easily fall off the radar…

If the club needs ‘an email’ from a fan to explain that if half STs are put on sale early and when the team is riding high they could well sell better, then things are in an even worse state commercially down there than we thought…

Well looking at this article they went on sale on the 29th October last season, so presumably then they will be available from next week? With the team in a position that is surely enticing for a floating fan, it’s a no brainer (surely)… https://www.lancs.live/sport/football/football-news/blackburn-rovers-half-season-ticket-22012663.amp

Why, what’s he achieved at Championship level?

Great career move from Critchley there…

Why would JDT want his star player sold if charging to promotion in January? Venky’s seem very hard over on ‘value’, so I can’t see them giving the green light to a sale considering the fee can only reduce from here with just months left to run on it…

Well if they wouldn’t sell him in the summer, or Rothwell last January, why would they sell him this coming January?

Post the Christmas and new year period there is only around one night game a month (and none in January, re-arranged games notwithstanding). So if we can get through this mad pre-World Cup cramming in of matches in a decent position, then who knows…

So that’s what you talked about!

Ha of course, rigger! My point being, draws may make you walk off a game content enough, as ‘we didn’t get beat’, but they get you nowhere in the table.

So? This season is showing that it’s all about wins.

To be fair calling him a ‘League 2 Bellamy’ shows he is obviously warming to him, he wanted his leg broke the other week…

To be fair, Nuttall forgot everybody after 1999…

11,500 home fans is fine for a night game on Sky when we only have 8,500 ST holders. Remember this time last season only around 9,000 home fans were attending night games. How do you get bigger crowds? You sell more STs, simple as that, always been how it works at this club. Indeed, substantially higher ST sales is the sole reason that PNE, Bolton are pulling 14-16k through their gates every week. And we know who is to blame for us not doing so…

Got down to Ewood a bit early, Club Cash burning a hole in my pocket, so headed for the shop. To be met with a sea of grey and beige tat. Who on earth is in charge of purchasing?! They need to have a look at the likes of the Terrace Store and even Etsy et al. The present offering is real bargain bin stuff I would expect to see on a market stall. So shoddy.

Weren’t they? Looking at 11v11 they had quite a few games between 2007 and 2013…

I was talking to a Cardiff fan recently (I don’t work with him, though it was a work conference), and he has had to put up with three bubbles - Swansea, Millwall and Bristol City.

I accept your view, but I disagree with it. Kind of the whole point of a forum…

Debating like a 12 year old again, I see 🙄
