Exaucé Mafoumbi who we signed from Nantes. For total clarification, maybe the Fans Forum who meet the club on the 16th September could ask the question on which players are in the ESC slots and how many we got? @K-Hod @only2garners

cos this player would require one of those 4 ESC slots which I believe are full now. If we hadn't sigh Toth then maybe we would have gone for this winger instead, But we signed Toth now

That is a fair point. Test Cricket is my favourite form of cricket

Nicko's article Blackburn Rovers are chasing speedy Sierra Leone winger Augustus Kargbo for the next window. Kargbo plays for Cessna in Italy’s Serie B but is rated one of the best players at the level and expected to be sold in January. Rovers may have to find over £1 million for the player who was on their list in the summer. Blackburn are also hoping to be first in the queue for Fulham flier Martial Godo in the New Year. Rovers were desperately close to landing Godo on loan in the last window and he even had a medical with them. But the deal could not be revived while Fulham landed Reiss Nelson at the death and held on to Godo in the late drama. Blackburn still fancy Godo to bring some pace and width to their squad.

Firstly thanks for the reply Longsiders1882. Fair play and thanks for being honest with your opinion. Yes you do look short up front. Surely its top 2 automatic promotion with your team you got? Yes I have read that story about you academy director comments on their players there. I found quite an insight and how he viewed the squad. ok

First half in spells we were good and played quicker tempo but second half it was awful. We have to get better No I hate these international breaks at all. In all honest these international football breaks need to be just 3 breaks not 5

He does work at Barrow still

Good to see Rice getting forward so much

Yes when he had a shot at goal which Pickford saves.

Gordon makes the difference here. Great strike by Rice.

With the under 21's

delighted for Freddie. Watched his TV series and it was great what he did for those people taking them to India and get them playing cricket

No their backing is based on knowing him from being part of the under 21's team under him that won a tournament. Let's see how we play and where everyone plays firstly Agreed The same route as Southgate did

I guess their backing come from actually working with Carsley and both part of the under 21's successful team. Southgate had no senior international football experience before being appointed. Grealish is starting probably down to Palmer and Foden not being part of the squad

from media reports today its like Gordon, Grealish and Colwill will start today. Colwill at left back

what signs are they that Carsley wouldn't be popular choice? Gordon and Gibbs-White have backed Carsley for the job. I would appoint Carsley if he does well in the games he is charge of. Just like we did with Southgate.

No my problem is the format of the entire competition and the way its all about having 3 or 4 teams from England, Italy, Spain, etc whilst teams from Sweden or Norway don't get a fair quick cos they have to qualify for the champions league even tho they have won their own domestic league I have Sky and Sky Sports for a range of different sports they have just not football like International cricket during the English summer or the coverage of the entire F1 live and F2 season. Plus the range of TV shows I watched. TNT Sport coverage does 1 PL game a week and no F1 coverage or no test matches during the summer. The change of kick off times would happen with any TV broadcast company whether it was Sky or TNT or Amazon. So its a mooted point I like Neville, Carragher and Keane as Pundit(their podcast is great). Redknapp is ok. Think Sutton is good, not keen on some of the EFL pundits. The TV companies and fans watching at home want to watch the most important games.

All very valid and good points. if teams like Malmo or Bode Glimt could attract better player signings but also improve the stadium, club infrastructure and youth teams facilities. Currently its between around 7 or 8 teams who will win the Champions league good valid point Matty firstly Abbey, he is English and was born in Birmingham.

to @longsiders1882 and @sympatheticclaret Please could I asked yourselves a few questions? 1, what do you make of your transfers in and out this summer? 2. what do you make of your squad now? is there anywhere owt you would have liked to strengthen like another striker for example? 3. what are expectations for the season under Parker? 4. what's your opinion on this rumour of discontent around the club since Kompany left and players wanted out 5, last question, what's your opinion on Alan Pace and the ownership there?

What you have failed to mentioned is JRC has been carrying an injury. I guess Carter or JRC could do if we need 3rd right back.

Firstly, I think we need JRC at his best in and around the box. As a right back he wouldn't be suited to provide the width. I have seen your comments. Thanks. Also no one is rushing Duru either but if Brittain is unavailable then I would pick Duru there. So from your comments, I take it you would pick JRC at right back over Brittain and Duru? Is this correct?

Eustace picks the team and not. He can play either side but like Hedges has done he has played wide left to get us better balance. the team comes first. Have you ever thought that Eustace doesn't think JRC is suited to playing Right Back? Blimey, Give Duru some time to develop his game here and working with Eustace and his team will help him no end. He is young lad who I thought would be good enough to play back up to Brittain and so far he is looking he is. I thought he was good against Blackpool tbh. One of the better performances from the game

shocking scheduling again. Pathetic
