Rovers want to move quickly with summer recruitment drive http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/16256269.Rovers_want_to_move_quickly_with_summer_recruitment_drive/ From the article above Rovers have been linked with Nottingham Forest midfielder Ben Osborn and out-of-contract Walsall man Erhun Oztumer but neither players is on the club’s radar at this stage.

Many countries have batting collapses Jim. England problems are quality of county cricket, pitches and when games are played. I wouldnt sack Bayliss as the one day and t20 form is good.. If he was to go I would go for Paul Farbrace with Collingwood as number 2. Also like to see Gough involve part time.

Fifa? Blimey havent played the game in years. Being 33 years old, I'm abit too old for playing computer games and spent my spare time watching Rovers and football plus spending time with my missus, kids, family and friends. I would be happy with Lenihan and Mulgrew as the back 2 or part back 3. We didnt go dowm cos of those 2 but of a certain manager and his crap tactics. I would look at Liam Linsday from Barnsley. Good centre back who fits Mowbray comments the age bracket he looking at Fair enough. Thanks for that. Can you explain what you like so much about him? Shame but good luck to him if he gets his move.

Antonsson future http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/16256558.Marcus_Antonsson_s_agent_discusses_ex-Rovers_loanees_future/?ref=mac

They have rumours in the media that Bayliss might be sack as Test coach with him just focusing on odi and t20. I wouldnt be favour of this cos I dont think the problem is the coach. But when 4 day cricket is played. The quality of the pitches played on. Far too much t20 and One day games played.

Just been watching these North vs South games on Sky over the past week. (Just highlights and interviews) It was played in West Indies in Feb or March I think. Players who performed were Joe Clarke, Nick Gubbins, Mahmood from Lancs, Jennings. Glesson Coach for the North was Paul Collingwood Coach for the South was Mark Ramparkash.

Posted that link yesterday pal.

Surprised? Nobody knows the budget on here. Mowbray and his staff keep alot in house and rightly so Are Forest going places? Is Karanka the right type of manager for him? Wrong again Stuart but hey ho. I watched alot of championship football Stuart and a couple outstanding teams and both went up. We have nothing to fear from most teams at this level. Boro, Derby, Villa, Sheff Wed all face cutbacks in terms of wages and transfer fees. Wasnt Bolton in the championship when he played for them.

Blackburn Rovers linked with Forest midfielder Ben Osborn http://the72.co.uk/103663/stoke-blackburn-chasing-forest-midfielder/

I'm keen on 2 different formations being used during a season. I am still keen on us using 3-5-2 deffo. suggest out of contract players does it? I heard both were free transfers with adds on if we got promotion and they played a part in us achieving promotion He played 43 games last season for Bristol City. haven't Man Utd offered Henderson a new contract? I deffo wouldn't be concerned at all if Mowbray see 3-5-2/3-4-3 as the future. I would be happy with Lenihan, Mulgrew and Williams as 3 centre backs with Bell as left wing back and we need a right wing back to make this work along with Armstrong up front with Graham with Dack in the 10 role with Bennett and Smallwood in centre midfield. Lenihan has it proved championship as a centre half?

4-4-2? We mostly played 4-2-3-1 all season. If Mowbray switch to 3-5-2 formation I wouldnt have a problem as we have the players to suit us. Probably need right wing back and Armstrong to make this work. Isnt Antonsson on 6k week? Naive??? Haha. Or just believe in Mowbray totally. Big fan of his management, the way he talks to fans, open and honest communication and want the best for this club. Wouldnt say Samuel was a miss either. He scored goals that won us games. I probably say undecided. The other 5 miss you put in 4 were free and Harper was a loan.

Judging on few games ive seen him. Ive not been impressed. Ive seen their 4 live games on sky in past month plus 2 games against us. Not someone I would be looking at..

I wouldnt sign Byrne if I was in control.

Is there anything to suggest Mowbray is interest in Nsiala?

I wouldn't sign Burne at all. massive attitude problems and thinks he better than he is. another Nick Powell. I would be massive disappointed if we signed him. from media reports and Tom's post on here about us signing Davenport from City it looks like he is the one centre midfield we need.

I believe Mowbray will bring in quality players regarding of how much he got to spend. He knows his stuff and I back him 100% to do the right thing Bargain bin? how we even shop in that bin under Mowbray. Mowbray sounds from his interviews that he is very happy with the budget and happy to work within that. He already met some players and agents. not impressed by him yesterday and doesn't strike me as a Mowbray type of player.

Jennings recalled for England. Stoneman dropped..

It doesnt matter how much we spend as long they are quality signings. I trust Mowbray to make the right signings

Not for me. Doubt we sign Nolan aswell if we sign Davenport permanently. Who knows Tyrone. Mowbray on holiday this week I believe. So dont expect any signings in the next 10 days. He already said he spoken to some agents and players. I dont expect Wolves type spending but sensible spending and signings. Players who fit into the squad both talent wise, money wise and attitude wise.

Just Nolan thanks. Can play the deep midfield playmaker next to Smallwood.

https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/uk-sport-news/championship-gossip-blackburn-rovers-leeds-1613480 Blackburn Rovers and Leeds United interested in Dons midfielder Relegated MK Dons look set to lose midfielder Ousseynou Cisse. The Sun on Sunday reports both Championship side Leeds United and Blackburn Rovers, who were promoted from League One this season, are interested in the Malian powerhouse. The 6ft 5in midfielder is an athletic, combative midfielder who played 36 times for Milton Keynes Dons last season.

From Rich Sharpe Seen Frankie Fielding’s name linked with #Rovers this morning. TM has spoken about adding more experienced competition to David Raya so could be one to keep an eye on.

Malan and Stoneman need dropping. Not good enough.. Cook, Bairstow and Root got good balls so fair enough. Abbas has been really good and impressive.

Huth was an awful example to use them. If you mention someone like Mark Beevers or Mark Wilson who are both out of contract this summer. Then fair enough but you mention someone who has been injured and not played a single league game. all season we have linked to Blackpool centre back Clark Robertson. Played in 38 league games last season and currently going to be out of contract in a month but I don't know how good he is. on the Back 4 you mention I would be ok with them. we also got Downing and Wharton aswell. I would look for a centre back around 21 to 25 with pace which we haven't got in the squad. or would you prefer to play Wharton and save the cash for other positions like 2 wingers plus buying Armstrong if it a possible.
