On the books since 6. He’s a Manc, I think

Club shop still haven’t sorted that damn photo of Harry Chapman!

You’ve not seen the defence?

‘Offensively’ to note attacking prowess is perfectly acceptable, in contrast to ‘offense’, the opposite of ‘DEEfense’ as the Americans like to use, which certainly is not, thanks though.

Offensively we are going to score plenty. Alas, that defence will be our downfall.

DE! Proper longer time member getting involved! Makes me almost feel bad for not putting my hand up... almost

2022

He’s 20 in couple of months, not 17-18, so time for him to make his mark.

The lad looks the real deal. I can only imagine it’s his slightness that counts against him. Year in League 1 to ‘toughen him up’ etc. I don’t particularly agree, but that must be the rationale.

Haven’t you used this before? I honestly couldn’t care where they find it, a hidden stash of Kean brown envelopes in the manager’s office, wherever. As long as those centre halves arrive.

Someone reckons what Waggott ACTUALLY meant was the total budget - fees and wages would be similar. Gallagher, Downing and Johnson must be on some wedge...

Still same 7. Nicko states that 6 out of the 7 have handed in their notice - guess who hasn’t?

So the striker money wasn’t spent on a striker, we used the Raya fee instead? Now we get to spend the striker money on a defender? Excellent.

And if people don't just get ‘100% behind the team and TM’ on an Internet forum with about 50 regular posters, instead they just post their opinion, that impacts the team how? Ewood? Get behind the lads. Here? Say what you want!

Course he will. Feel like I can’t remember a time he wasn’t crabbing around our midfield.

Things happen in the run up to a season, having a picture taken in a kit, probably in May doesn’t mean much.

Ha! Like that means owt! Went merrily on holiday post Euro 96 after seeing Shearer modelling our new ‘CIS’ kit...

So latest FF minutes, the club has apologised for the confusion and the target is actually 11,000. 10,000 to sell and 1,000 complementaries. Last season being 9,400 + 1,000 (10,400). Makes much more sense, so no idea what Waggott was talking about earlier in the summer. What I did find interesting is that 15,000 people in the ‘Preston area’ (presumably PR postcodes, so South Ribble/Chorley Boroughs too) had bought tickets in recent years, so the club thinks it’s fair game to advertise over there.. quite right too! ‘Bigger than PNE’s average crowd’ Great dig Greg Coar I’ve said before that there has been massive demographic change in the town of Blackburn, with many, many more of our fans now outside BwD. Good to see that the club realises this too. https://www.rovers.co.uk/siteassets/pdfs/fans-forum-minutes/8th-july-2019.pdf

Whipped in peach of a cross by Rankin-Costello for BB. When was the last time ANY of our full backs did that?

He played about 12 games for us in League 1 and not particularly proficiently. He obviously didn’t get in that team on the back of his form at Rovers.

You should do a travelogue, Vinjay in Vegas.

Lot to prove for me. Think it was a panicked signing and in my view it will go down as an error of judgement. Doesnt mean I won’t support him to the hilt at games.

He’s always had a clean slate at Ewood (yes there’s always odd dicks shouting stuff) Loudest cheer of the season for that Bolton goal.

The latter two, perhaps, don’t think there would’ve been many jealous glances for Downing.

Odd one Nuttall. Because of his stature he overpowers a lot of under 23s, but at League 1 level he will face bruising centre halves every week. He has to move on though, well down the pecking order now.
