I’ve changed my mind based on RoversChat first 11 prediction… they ‘predicted’ the same team as me yesterday, thus me posting the above, but are now saying Carter, Phillips, Wharton and Edun at the back today. Which is a big change.

Glad to see someone of a similar mindset. If we don’t sell BBD this month we have gambled: 1) We will be in the top four sides excluding Burnley and Sheffield United 2) We will beat two of the other four sides (the first over two legs) 3) Doing 1 & 2 will be enough to encourage him to stay If we don’t achieve points 1 (and 2) we will be faced with the prospect of replacing one of the best players in the league with whatever budget we can put together. Let’s not forget Ben can choose to sign for a foreign team today for nothing, albeit he wouldn’t move until summer.

Anyone hoping for JVH back can pretty much ignore that after his performance today for Brighton. Brilliant against Boro, best player on the pitch by far.

Let’s go one further - Harry Leonard makes his debut off the bench tomorrow.

He does qualify - 17 points.

Six changes from Cardiff is what I’ve been told. Pears JRC Hyam Wharton Pickering Travis Wharton Markanday Dack Brereton Vale I reserve the right to be wrong.

Now we’re talking. That’s a player I’ve never heard of, I have no idea where he plays and I’m not sure which of the two clubs he plays for. But I say go all out for him.

I reckon he takes worse than he gives.

Less than 6 months until we have to replace a 20 goal a season striker with £0. Exciting.

He does something I’ve not seen from any of our central midfielders all season. He moves around the pitch literally pointing to players exactly where he wants the ball passing to him and when he receives it, he either moves towards the opposition goal or makes a forward pass every single time. How Coventry have managed to sign these two is beyond me. Find that scout and hire them.

Seems a gamble for Wolves. I’d want someone more established in their position. But I could definitely see him succeeded in the Prem.

Speaking of Coventry players, Hamer does everything right that a defensive midfielder should do. It’s a shame he isn’t very physically imposing, if he was he’d be a top player.

He’s got 18 months left and I’m not entirely sure what we could offer him that Sunderland can’t given their gate revenue. Gyokores just hit the post again. I know they’re playing Wrexham but he does everything right. Not sure on a PL move, but could easily see him signing for Sheff United / Burnley in January to get them over the line or a team that gets relegated from the PL this season.

Not so much anymore..! Hamer and Gyokeres are really good players. Both will make someone superb signings.

I know it’s very unrealistic but if we could sell Brereton and replace him with Gykores I’d be well up for it. He’s a proper striker. Equally, Ross Stewart again today looked a brilliant number 9.

I’m going to open a nice bottle of red to celebrate.

Here’s hoping.

I’m still not 100% this isn’t just a case of Hirst being in the area because we play Norwich tomorrow and opting to go to a game.

Bellamy was better than RSC and Jansen. And I loved Jansen.

And will be lucky to finish 15th next year in the Premier League, because English football is ruined.

I’m astounded much like Kompany raiding City for players we’ve not been in for any AC Milan or Serie A youngsters considering that’s where JDT made his name. Luis Binks - English, Bologna, 21, Spurs Academy Graduate, left back/left centre back. Never seen him play, know nothing about him. Go get him on loan.

Here’s one I can actually be ITK at! When (most) football clubs sign a big name player or someone with lots of sponsorship opportunities, they send out a media pack to local sports production companies (like me) explaining who the player has affiliations with, their media schedules, who to contact at the club about filming on site and an estimation of fees for hiring the stadium/training ground/media facilities. It’s mostly so that when - as an example - Liverpool sign Gakpo, production companies find it easy to shoot with Gakpo at Anfield for Heineken rather than dealing with the player management and taking the player off site and shooting at Tranmere Rovers, let’s say. I’ve never received anything from Rovers about Brereton-Diaz. Look at the work he’s done on social media: Not shot at Rovers: https://www.instagram.com/tv/CftUfL4p4D8/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd_DvhlORfO/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= https://www.instagram.com/tv/CfxB7FCt6h7/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj5khrkOGBV/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= Shot at Rovers: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CgfRdoOjzc5/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

If he signs a deal here I’ll bare my arse on Blackburn Town Hall steps

Southampton about to announce Jason Wilcox as Director of Football. Vinjay was saying we should have done this about 5 years ago. Let’s see…

It’s like getting a free pass to steal from the Trafford Centre and deciding to rob from Next.
