I’ve watched a bit of Soutter, as it stands he would be out third best centre back in my opinion. For reference, I currently go… Ayala, Lenihan, JVH, Wharton, Carter

And Kaminski is 2023 from memory?

Rothwell? Or Brereton? I thought Rothwell could leave this summer?

Well played, Gav. Unfortunately for you, being this sensible means that you’re now a moderator and in turn BRFCS is totally ruined for you.

No way. EFL have approved it. They won’t find anything wrong or they incriminate themselves.

The season can’t continue. Take the top three point per game records and promote them, pick a new season back up again in summer.

Hull paper saying Hull players did tests at 10AM, results submitted half an hour after, EFL reviewed at 12 noon and called it off at 12:30.

An EFL decision at 12 noon on the day sums them up, there’s not a single thought for the fans. There’s no way anyone should be taking a LFT on the day of the match. They should be submitting test results to the EFL the day before the game and confirmation the game is going ahead at 5pm the day before.

Hull have 17 cases. Why are they doing Lateral Flow tests are 12:30 on the day of a game? It’s a shambles!

Game called off

Question for the Forum to raise - when we’re promoted, will there be a celebration planned at Ewood?

0-4 Rovers. We’re going up.

There’s absolutely nothing fun about being a bottom 5 Premier League club and nothing at all will make me change my mind. It’s completely mind numbing and it doesn’t surprise me to see Longers falling out of love with it. Making sure you pick up at least a point against rivals because the top 5 or 6 teams cannot be rivalled, simply down to finance and who’s owner is the richest - it’s not for me at all. Give me Championship or even League One footie any day ahead of a 6 nil spanking by a Russian Billionaire’s play thing that’s only involved in football so that Putin can’t kill him easily.

It is, it’s next to the post office.

Newcastle are meant to be signing that Fiorentina striker who’s scoring for fun for 40 million. I expect them to be signing players like that rather than BBD.

I’ve got a link somewhere to the CM01/02 game, but with the database up to date with last season, if you want it? I won promotion with Harvey Elliot, Adam Armstrong and Martinelli on loan as a front three. Great fun.

Jheez someone’s doing well.

I thought Andy Lee in his corner was exceptional. Clear, concise short messaging in the corner about what to do for the following 3 minutes. He’s obviously made a difference in the gym too, Parker couldn’t hurt him in the first fight and did some serious damage this time.

Correct - any more questions?

Followed up by your own MOTM review on the BRFCS match centre, one would hope! https://www.brfcs.com/magazine/football/match/717061/blackburn-birmingham

Baiting - banned. I said I’d do this, stop doing it.

Sat at home this evening wondering what can go wrong here, with January on the horizon… Keeper - Kaminski is number one and Pears has proven himself as a good number two. We’ll be unlucky to get two serious injuries at the same time to both. Right Wing Back - Nyambe first choice. JRC is a suitable second choice but he can’t stay fit. Do we have a back up, back up? Centre Back - Seems like Lenihan, Van Hecke and Wharton are preferred. Ayala and Carter as back up. Feels like five is safe for three positions? Johnson as emergency sixth. Left Wing Back - Pickering first choice, Edun looks like he’s second choice although it seems he either isn’t vaccinated or currently has COVID which could be a longer term issue. CM - Buckley, Rothwell, Travis. I’m not sure we have anyone that can adequately fill in for Buckley or Rothwell, Davenport can do the Travis role. Saying that, Dack might be able to do the Buckley role if he can get over two ACLs. Clarkson can’t get a game. I think I prefer Johnson as a CB. RF - Khadra first choice. Poveda was second but is out for the season. Assume Dolan is second choice. LF - Brereton Diaz, Gallagher. I think we need a RWB, RF, Rothwell cover and not to sell Diaz here…

This Rovers side are absolutely relentless. If we where playing them I’d want them looking at for PEDS. I’ve not said this in a long time now, but here goes… Tony Mowbray’s Blue and White Army!

Rumours that it’s Bradley Johnson that’s out with COVID. It’s definitely not Brereton or Lenihan. In terms of prediction, I’m still struggling to believe we are 4th. I’ll say we will lose simply based on how we’ve done in these situations prior to this season.
