Yes they did but went down last season for various reasons including quality of their squad and Dyche lack of plan B

I'm Gregg Broughton number 2 🤣🤣🤣 But all seriousness I would be pleased if JDT and GB want to that approach and as they have both said this is project and its time. It makes sense to keep bringing in our academy/young players plus around 6 signings. Its a sensible and realistic approach. no one is saying an all group of youngsters to break through but 3 or 4 talented young players like Jake Garrett, Ash Phillips and Jack Vale to be part of the first team squad for the coming season. That is what I and other are saying we think we should do. If you disagree with that fine but I will stand by that opinion No one has suggested that Ash Phillips or Jake Garrett will replace Darragh Lenihan or Joe Rothwell but want them part of the first team squad for the coming season. I have said around 6 signings is what I think we need for the coming season.

If they other half were Premier League quality then why do they go down. They have lost Pope, Mee and Tarnowski already. I would expect 4 or 5 more will go. Well so far they have signed Scott Twine and supposedly to close to signing an Oxford centre back and Rotherham midfielder. So don't seem where you get this assumption they are signing solid championship level signings?

new captain and coach with positive mind set and want to entertain their fans. I don't know if you watch Brendan McCullum's post match interview but was impressed by comments and just think what a breath of fresh air he has been since being appointed.

Looks like the club is going to adopt my approach and back some of our promising young players by given them a chance at this level which I am pleased about. Players like Carter or Vale aren't even going to be proven at this level unless you actually play them at this level.

The club recruitment team would have been still working even without a head coach in place. Yes we miss one and two would have like here like Kane Wilson who went to Bristol City but I don't think we missed out on alot of players More words in my mouth with this biased nonsense. I posted my opinion on them that is all.

more than welcome. 👍

You keep belittling the under 23's league for unknown reasons. I've seen him play live and he is deffo one for the future

The next test starts on Friday against India. England have named the same squad back added James Anderson and Sam Billings. So it looks like Brendan McCullum and Ben Stokes will back him

I have email the club for you and I post reply if I get one

The LT has reported that Rovers are targeting up 6 signings this summer with right back, centre back, a striker and midfielders . Under 23's head coach Mike Sheron has made the trip to Portugal with the first team squad. Also from the article "Outgoing head of recruitment John Park had begun drawing up lists of players for positions, and price ranges, prior to Tomasson’s appointment. Park will leave the club this week at the end of his contract, with the search for a new transfer chief, who will work alongside Broughton, under way. Broughton will return to the UK ahead of the squad, who are due back on Sunday, as Rovers look to the market for new signings. Those will be focused on Tomasson’s style of play which is set to focus on high intensity football. The new head coach held meetings with Academy staff, and coaches, about wanting to implement that philosophy across Rovers’ youth sides to make the transition period easier." Blackburn Rovers transfer latest as squad train in Portugal | Lancashire Telegraph Lancs Live article on Seven right-backs Blackburn Rovers could target to replace Ryan Nyambe with Seven right-backs Blackburn Rovers could target to replace Ryan Nyambe with - LancsLive Nathan Byrne would be quality signing. I think Callum Brittain would be another quality signing. If we were to look at loan player than Ethan Laird who was

Wrong there. Kompany was selected as the permanent choice to replace Dyche weeks before he got his work permit when he had problems getting. So I would have thought he would have been working on potential targets during that period. McNeil had a tough season last season granted. Not really at all. You got relegated which means that the price drops despite the price. You were of the opinion that you would get more for Pope but you didn't

Yes the head coach JDT has said he has had meetings over recruitment with Gregg Broughton. They will be targeting players I think we wouldn't be under Mowbray. We have to disagree on the catch up point. The head of recruitment and recruitment staff were still doing their jobs in scouting and watching players. That didn't stop cos Mowbray and Venus left the club. GB has praised the work John Park has done in scouting players. I think you are underplaying the part that JDT wants to evulate the current players and including the young players he took to Portugal with him. We sign players when we sign them. I would rather get the right players in then rush and make a crap signing. I don't expect anything this week. JDT will want to assess the squad and see whether he thinks the younger players will be part of the first team squad for this season. I think we are still talking to clubs and players plus carry on scouting and looking in depth on potential signings. that were need a signing and I have have said so in my post what we need to do on recruitment. Correct not every player will move but I have seen West Ham and Spurs linked a couple of weeks ago.

have you email the club about the pitch improvements?

I think he should be around the first team squad learning and developing here and not on loan somewhere else Have you ever seen Ash Phillips play?

Well England didn't lose the test like you were saying. I would say one thing never write off this England test under McCullum and Stokes cos they will always go for a win and play positive Positive cricket is also when we are bowling. Like when Stokes refused to back mid off back to Long off on Leach's request. Instead he keep him up and the batsman try to go over of mid off and was caught by the fielder at Mid off.

England won by 7 wickets and the series 3 nil. I wonder how many people would have predict that before the series. Just listening to McCullum's interview he speaks so simple and easy.

played with back four in 4-2-3-1. Back four was Nyambe, Lenihan, Wharton and Edun. our first game with a back 5 was Peterborough at home. Think Edun is good enough to be squad player here

Sheffield United, Reading both home game where in played back 4 and played left back.

who are we talking about Pickering or Edun?

never met Steve Waggott at all. Like I said ask the club for clarification on whether 1864roverite info is correct. I have suggestion either you or others email or ask the fans forum to ask the question at the next metting

McNeil won't want to play championship football and he will move on I bet. But we see in the next month. How much do you think Collins and Roberts? maybe 15 million for Collins and around 4 million pounds for Roberts

I am fully aware that we haven't sign anyone and the players we haven't got for the season ahead. I disagree that we are playing catch up at all. Broughton has gone to Portugal with the squad I'm sure he is still working on bringing players in but He and Jon Dahl Tomasson said they wanted to look at the squad first and assess it in the training camp. Yes some clubs have pick up some good to decent signings which I wish we gone for but I trust JDT and GB to bring in the necessary signings we need. I'm sure any signings we made will be first team players rather than squad players but I feel that some of current squad can replace them like Dolan for Khadra and Dack for Rothwell for 2 examples.

Well JPVH's Instagram account is showing him playing golf today https://www.instagram.com/stories/jpvanhecke/2869111361831481937/

Looks like David McGoldrick will be signing for Chris Wilder at Boro again
