The odd lot to the west are obsessed as ever, I see.

6 page thread on our season tickets, more than the one on their own sales...

I can see double figures for Brereton this season and a lot of folks on here backtracking claiming they knew he'd come good. 

Be delighted to see it. I think he’s a long way away personally and i’ve said so, but there would be nobody cheering those goals more than me at Ewood.

Because you know, I want the best for Blackburn Rovers.

Cue, "He's one of our own!"?

Does that make him the first since Dunnie?

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

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

I’m positive we’ll be in top 6. Its called having faith. Mowbray as built a decent team. Don’t know how anyone else can’t see it ?

You’ve not seen the defence?

Style note:

"In attack" - British English please. 

Offensively is American. 

‘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.

Just now, OssyLad said:

Mowbray and Rothwell are taking us up ??

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

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.

Here is an analogy

Your young lad wants a pair of Nike trainers that cost £100. He has £100. His granny gives him £100 for his birthday. He buys the Nike air max for £100 and he has £100 left to buy a pair of Adidas trainers. 

Which £100 did he use to buy which pair of trainers and secondly does it matter? 

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.

Not for the first time I'm confused by a Mowbray interview. Initially we were told he had a similar budget to last season when he spent around £10m. Add to that the £3m or so from Raya and deduct £5m for Gallagher which leaves something like £8m. All best assumptions from reported figures of course and based on his (albeit confusing) interview.

For the life in me I can't see another £8m being spent so will we have (once again) money left over from his budget?

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? 

Just now, Bigdoggsteel said:

Yes, he wanted to leave 

Yes, the money went towards the striker purchase, meaning the money we would have spent is still there.

The splitting of his words looking for something has hit peak silly season ?

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.

We should all be 100% behind the team, behind TM and the players as we strive to reach the top 6. I think we are more than capable of it with the team we have and with a little bit more from the young city player then we have a great chance.

 

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.

Just now, RovingRover said:

I know you aren't conflating Evans with Shearer. But Shearer was always going to have attention.

Evans on the other-hand won't have attention considering the excessive wages he is on.

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

Just now, RovingRover said:

Rothwell's goal was a 25 yard thunderbolt.

Brereton's was a well taken bullet-header.

I doubt very much we will see Corry Evans go during this window when you consider he has been used in the new marketing campaigns for the new shirts.

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.

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.

Just now, Pedro said:

Yeah, that was a good moment witb lots of us behind him but there dedinitely are loads against too.

 

For many, he certainly doesn't have a clean slate on this site. As this thread has shown.

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.
