Szmodics is entering his prime and I don't see him being sold now and the summer. He is crucial to us.. WBA link doesn't add given their financial problems with their owner no surprise to see linked with a full back espically if JRC will move into CM when fit That's the market we are in as are many other championship teams. We don't have the wages to spend on proven players or the transfer fee to buy them. I rated Brittain very highly but he is going through a bad patch of form. Brittain is still a good player and someone who is big asset to Rovers

Scott Wharton is out injured

Wahlstedt Brittain Hill Carter Pickering Tronstad Wharton Moran Szmodics Sigurdsson Telalovic

3rd lowest budget in the league suggest otherwise

roughly the same style yes. little tweaks to the style like maybe not play inverted full backs but full backs who play wide and allow the wide players to play inside

1. We have build a squad to play a certain way so the next head coach should play in similar way 2. JDT does get a say in who we sign. He is presented a list of names him, GB and SK decided who we go far.. It's works at plenty of clubs. It's working well here.

No it's was our recruitment department who recommended Wahlstedt we sign as Kaminski replacement. Benson was asked his opinion tho https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/23778799.blackburn-rovers-broughton-wahlstedt-brereton-deals/

Tromstad plays the defensive midfielder role the best of anyone at the club, allows Adam Wharton to be playmaker and Szmodics to be attacking midfielder/no 10 we need Does Travis fit our style of play and how we want play attacking wise? Who is better between Tronstad and Travis at playing the defensive midfielder role?

fair enough.

Your owners and CEO should be driven the promotion with the right appointment of Director of Football and Head Coach which we have now and they want promotion. a New CEO is needed with proper commercial onus to increase revenue at the club and match day experience for fans. Fan takeover day shown people will turn up even with awful weather if priced properly ticket wise and created a good overall atmosphere

the fanbase, the head coach, the director of football and the players all want promotion and PL football. This is why we need commercial driven CEO who has a background at growing a business through commercial revenue and improving the match day experience . as I have mentioned in previous posts that the sponsorship around the ground is non-existent and I think we have 3 different sponsors. Why is a proper shirt sponsor(no disrespect to Totally Wicked either) or more sponsorship around the ground? where is the experience in the commercial department?

agreed on the first point. I don't know who would be interested in the club was to be for sale tomorrow. I hope we would have 4 or 5 good potential owners who could see the club potential 100% fair enough. I guess the local bit would be from Lancashire Area and hopefully a Rovers fan.

But Hirst has been first choice for Ipswich all season and now he is missing They will miss him. He has part of them being second in the league

I think Travis is off in this January window aswell as Markanday on loan. I would also look to get Gallagher off the books if we can cos his wages could be used much better IMO. We used the funds to sign 3 or 4 players. We need a right winger, striker and defender plus Travis replacement

JDT and GB want promotion, players want promotion and the fans do also. The biggest problem is the way the club is run, lack of revenue streams, lack of players sales over years and over reliant on the owners funding the losses when our CEO need to have more commercial ouns on improving the commercial operation

Its good to read from people who attend that we had some of our intensity back and were quick passing back again. Yes confidence will be down but the defending for all 3 goals is awful and I would expect better from Hill and Hyam to be honest. Hyam's red card is stupid and seems to be down to frustration more than owt. Expect better from our Captain We scored 2 good goals and at half time I would have happy taken a point and 2-2 from the game. Good to hear Telalovic had a good game and Kevin Gallagher on Radio Lancs was full of praise for his performance. He was critical of Markanday performance and "his words was Flattered to deceived" Tronstad seem to have a good game which again is good. On Travis not playing at all, I wonder if we are going to look to sell him in January

JDT is still the right man to be our head coach and any talk from fans of sacking him is totally baffling cos the same problems will stick be here. One of the lowest wage budget in the league, Owners's problems in India and lack of transfer funds. He is managing his resources the best he can but when the owners refuse to let GB and JDT bring in Batth in who woulc have given us experience at the back again. I wondering who else did they block us signing? Yet again, You need a willing seller and buyer first? Are Venkys ready to sell the club and is there any buyers out there ready to buy Rovers?

I listened to the game on Radio Lancs and Gallagher was full of praise for Telalovic's performance. He seems like he could be hit going forward going to watch the full game when its available on Rovers TV later today

He will get 25 goals this season

Pickering scores!!!!

Look at the action of the game

Szmodics scores!!!!

Should be 2-2

Cos they wouldn't sanction the Batth deal. How many more did they stopped we don't know about it.

Shocking defending from Hyam for the 1st. Hill and Hyam at fault for the second goal. Not good enough guys I have no idea tbh.
