Quality player signed to a proper contract, maybe the worst owners in football are finally listening, but I doubt it.

Well you need to claw something back after the Blackpool double prediction disaster 😂 Tough game tomorrow, City have started the season well. 1-1 draw

Just listened to JDT interview on BBC sounds. Clearly disappointed we didn’t bring more players in, avoided the direct answer well. Talked about projects and new chapters which will please a few on here I’m sure. Also made the point we’re not favourites for a reason, we can’t compete with the bigger squads. Has he been reading this site?

I watched Cynthia Erivo on the Proms last week, absolutely mesmerising, what a voice, had me captivated from start to finish. Are you booked to see Springsteen next summer @only2garners? We're off to the Villa Park gig.

@roversfan99 Its been a good week, why have you brought this thread back to the top, I can feel the old ticker working overtime just at the thought of these parasites stepping foot in the town 😁

Well if it makes you feel better bluebruce. Give us your thoughts on the window and future, that is what most posters are interested in I'm sure.

You can't judge anyone right now, they need time to settle and establish themselves. We are also struggling with injuries, I'm not sure Tomasson has had the luxury in recent weeks to play his first 11 or preferred formation/style, but we've seen glimpses. Josh also missed off Khadra who we haven't replaced at all. Time will tell if it was a good window or bad.

We all know if a player wants to leave, kicks up a massive fuss, he forces through a move, very rarely do clubs put players in reserves and let them rot, they move them on. Thankfully Brereton is the consummate professional, has worked his socks off to get where he is and we are lucky to have him.

Where he'll get a good reception from the fans and quite right too.

Do we have a bank manager? Last I heard Barclays had closed the Venky account and told them to sod off for defaulting on payment after payment.

Coming into this season it was clear we had real problems with gaping holes in the squad, the matchday squad at that. The biggest losses for me were Lenihan, Rothwell, Van Hecke and Khedra from last season. Have we replaced those players with the same quality or better? Time will tell, nobody knows. Another takeaway from last season was we had no strength in depth, once the inevitable suspensions, injuries and loss of form hit we sank like a stone, we certainly haven't improved in that area, still a real cause for concern I'd say. I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised we paid one or two transfer fees this time around, although if you do the sums it only amount to Lenihans apparent 4yrs contract offer over 4yrs, buts lets hope the outlay bears fruit and at least JDT has been backed with a few quid. Listening to Tomassons interview midweek, he wants 3 transfer windows, not including this, to put his stamp on the team, so the journey starts here, with Bristol City tomorrow. Onwards and upwards.

Exciting young player making his way in the game, I enjoyed watching him last season and now plying his trade at one of the favourites to go up. Clearly has something about him TS.

Apparently Fulham bid for Diaz yesterday which was dismissed out of hand, then made exactly the same bid today, which too was dismissed out of hand. Amateurs.

Sharpe has been doing updates all day.

Ah I get you, yes agreed.

I'm not sure about that, are we stronger than we were last season? A season in which we weren't strong enough when injuries and suspicions kicked in? Whether or not we've replaced like for like in terms of quality will play out over the weeks and months to come, thats the only real test, starting on Saturday at home to Bristol City.

Lads only 21, just had a major injury, could be another punt of a player for the future?

We need more bodies in the building no doubt about that, we'll not play an extremely poor Blackpool side every week (First 15 minutes aside) they only had 1 shot on target all match!

That track back from Diaz in injury time last night was why he's a special player, defending from the front. Gallagher does the same week in week out, but he doesn't have the goals to back it up. Tremendous work ethic from the both of them.

We should never forget any promotion from any league, they're like hens teeth for Blackburn Rovers.

Exactly what Mowbray used to do, they both know we've very little budget and no strength in depth. I'm torn on selling Diaz, a club like ours cannot afford to keep letting quality players leave for free, but on the other hand an injured Diaz for a significant part of last season meant we couldn't score goals, we ended up for the most part in relegation form. We won't go up this season, thats for sure, but will we go down? Possibly and that becomes a stronger possibility without Diaz.

So did JDT, 3 transfer windows worth, not including this. Strap yourself in, or maybe not...

Made up for the 3000+ that made the trip, especially after the recent debacles at Reading and Sheff Utd.

And some of the kranks on here said he was finished……
