I hope they do get time and patience from all sections of fans. Fans need to understand what the project is and how we want to move forward on the subject. I would think that valuations are done by our footballing staff and our CEO/Pasha. If you listened to JDT, he thought he was worth much more 20 million pounds. I would imagine that GB, JDT, SP and SW all speak to Venkys and give their opinions. I think some clubs who actually bid for BBD don't understand how our owners operate tbh. Would you have sold for the offers we received from Nice or Sevilla that was low as 8.4 million? Would you have sold him on the day with very little for a replacement and teams coming in so late even after scouting him for weeks? Cos it's work in progress with this period being a transition season to new tactics, new players being part and new head coach who hasn't managed here before. As GB and JDT this is project, and the same message has come from our head coach every time whether we won or lose. I think we will finish in top 10 this season which I would be happy with in JDT's first season Yes the tempo was too slow in our play, and I made that point last night in my summary. Brereton's strength is playing from the left and using movement inside from left to right or shooting after coming inside. How would you have set up and who would have gone left?

was launch it going to work against 3 big centre back? the way was getting between the lines and between their centre backs with clever runs and movement.

Did you not see this as new start under a new footballing structure and the new staff has been in place for around 2 months. We have brought in a new Director of Football, new head coach and new head of recruitment, surely these require patience and time from the fans?

Like I said to someone else on and someone at Ewood yesterday who said someone similar, and I said decides are you look at its cos I see as 4 wins in 8 league games now

I'm not so sure if they are in pay role. Plenty of ex pro's whether its former players or managers in there. Also Howard Webb has a huge job in sorting out this mess out cos the VAR isn't working right. That Newcastle goal was clearly a goal or penalty given the push on Willock but VAR didn't give the ref that angle, similar to West Ham one which was goal. very childish that Matty. Very good knowledge of the game and I won't let his time here which was poor stop me from listening to well made points

If you listen from the moment Gregg Broughton and Jon Dahl Tomasson's first ever interviews at Rovers, they said then it's a project and how they would do. Every interview JDT does he keeps saying project and it why he came here cos of the project and what was involved in it. They have been very open with the plan from minute 1 and how they will move our club forward, so I don't know why any fan doesn't clearly understand this. This team is a work in progress and will get better game by game under JDT where we are more consist in terms of performance and result. You have mentioned Eddie Howe improve a struggling team instantly, but you actually look at the results they won 2 games in his first 10 games with wins against Dingles and Leeds, but also including a home loss in the FA cup to Cambridge. What big question mark over JDT and why can you not understand what JDT and GB are trying to do with team and in the coming years? surely, they should be given some proper patience and time from fans whilst this project grows and develop under them?

I will let the mods decide and whether they consider too early start one.

With a full week of training and JDT putting more and more of a stamp on this team I think we will pick up a win. I haven't considered Gallagher and Brittain cos I have read they are out until after September international break, I think Scott Wharton will be back and don't know if Ayala will be back or not, so I did not include him in my thoughts for selection my team Kaminski Carter Hyam S.Wharton Pickering Travis Morton Dolan Szmodics Brereton-Diaz Hirst Subs:- Pears, Mola, Adam Wharton, Buckley, Dack, Hedges, Vale

After watching all the highlights of the game, VAR and the people in VAR had a shocking time yesterday. I agree with Danny Murphy on MOTD that ex pros should be in VAR room cos they understand how the game works. Villa and Everton got both deserved draws against Man City and Liverpool. Toney was excellent yesterday and scored 3 goals. I am still surprised that Chelsea didn't go for him in the summer transfer window. I can understand why Leeds boss Marsch lost his cool and temper with not getting a pen. Bournemouth got a good win and how a tactical change by interim boss Gary O'Neil change the game and got a win. Will be interesting whether they stick with Gary O'Neil for future games or appoint a new manager/head coach.

We can offer more money from contract point of view from the what the article says plus we are looking for promotion within 2 seasons whilst Sunderland have just appointed Mowbray so deffo won't be going for promotion for sure cos they will experience awful post-Christmas winless run under him.

no concerns as yet as I understand the project that JDT and GB have spoken about and JDT has said they would be transition period and where we will win and lose over this time, but I am confidence that we will get better as the season goes on As I said yesterday, I wouldn't have taken off Hirst for Vale but instead taken Adam Wharton off and go 4-4-2. I agree with taken Dack off and I was surprised Hedges went off cos I thought it would be Adam Wharton. You say 4th loss in 5 or you could look at it as I do 4 wins in 8 league games, but I guess it all depends at how you look at the situation I will post what my team will be in the Wigan game thread shortly. which is totally wrong given we have 2 very good chances in the first 5 minutes, so you first comment is just wrong! Simple as Gav! Everything isn't rosy in the garden, and no one has said that including our head coach JDT who has repeating said since the start of the season we will have good and bad times as we go through this transition ph ase, but we have a plan and I think we get stronger and more consist as time go on in the season under JDT. Maybe you can't see that or don't want to see that. I don't hear any alarm bells from my seat in the Blackburn End cos I can see where JDT and GB want to move this club forward so maybe try to understand the project that is happening here.

Should we start a January transfer window already? Looks like Rovers are already line up a replacement for BBD and are looking at Sunderland's striker Ross Stewart who is out of contract in summer 2023. He hasn't signed a new contract at Sunderland yet and Rovers have the wages to offer for him the sort of contract. Blackburn plot transfer swoop for Sunderland’s Ross Stewart if in-demand Ben Brereton Diaz leaves in January window | The Sun He would be very good signing if it happens

My summary is fair and explained the game I has saw it. If you disagree with my summary that is fine by me but I am not going to single any player for any particular criticism tonight. I have already explained what I said he did well just like his Blackpool game performance. His link up is decent enough, played one good pass and some good overall touches, plus his movement. Should have done better with his chance. If you disagree that fine by me just like I completely disagree with comments about Hirst performance Off the pace from the final whistle despite us creating a chance in the first few minutes of the game. Another comment that is wrong

Vale had an impact on the game, some good link up play tonight and shown again why JDT likes him. Markanday isn't a number 9 striker, is he?

I totally there I think Hirst showed promise and will only get better as he trained and plays with his teammates.

Just got back from the game and I am disappointed with the result and performances today. we started the game well and should have scored in the opening 5 minutes with Dack and Hedges shots, but Bristol City came in the game and created a few good chances. Rovers just couldn't get going and we lack tempo and bite today in the first half. Hirst had a great chance to scored but didn't. Bristol City took a deserved lead after catching us on the counter. Second half we made 2 changes and started ok but then Bristol City caught us on the counter again with another goal. Dolan scored and it was good ball by Edun to Dolan who scored the goal. Good finish by him. Then we again shot ourselves by conceded again. Rovers kept going and scored again from Good pass by Dolan and Brereton-Diaz did the rest. Shamed we did keep at 2-1 for more than we did cos it could have different game. Hirst had a decent game with a couple of good runs, put himself about and had a great chance to score. I was surprised he was taken off when he was, and I would have taken Adam Wharton off for Vale and gone 2 up front with Buckley and Morton in centre midfield. Vale, Edun Dolan and Buckley had an impacted on the game. Dolan scored a goal and assist today. Vale's movement and link up play helped the team. Buckley can spot a pass. Edun won the ball back and set Dolan up for his goal. I thought Hyam shown why we signed despite us conceding 3 and losing. Bristol City front 3 used their clever movement and runs to exposed our back 4 and get down the side/gap between the Full back and centre back. They deserved the win. Rovers kept going and fighting to the last minute and not the result I wanted but we moved to the next game and lets go and beat Wigan next Saturday. Onwards and upwards. JDT's Blue and White Army 🔵⚪ Was it Dolan fault it didn't or down to the head coach then?

Yes. I would Start Hirst today but if Dolan start there then I would have no problem with it cos he can press the ball high and highlighted games where it works.

All down to the individual attitude to life. My attitude has always work for me You weren’t saying last season when he kept 3 clean sheet back to back. Very quick to jump on him after one bad game

Dolan is playing the number 9 role when we want press from the front. He is ideal for him. Also worked last season at times against Swansea and Cardiff. Also worked on Wednesday

Who knows what is going to happen by BBD, he might sign a new contract, or he might a pre contract with foreign club. Who knows, But we are much better team with him here and also to factor in that no club bid anywhere near the fee we wanted. If Mola or Hirst performed well enough, then we sign them permanently. Plus, also to factor in several young players like Adam Wharton, Jack Vale. Ash Phillips will have learnt and develop in the next 9 months. Just listened to JDT interview today speaking about the project, new signings and developing the young players

I have based on 4 factors and these clubs who wanted know what the price was so I bid properly or feck off. I never said it been a prefect transfer window have I, but said its been good transfer window as I said yesterday with sensible and logic signings who wanted and not going for players we didn't want. Why do you struggle to accept my point of view? I seen enough of Brittain and hyam to know they were good solid signings. I didn't know much about Szmodics, Morton and Hirst. Never heard about Mola before. I always look at the positive side and always look at every situation as half full glass attitude instead of half empty. I see Rovers and DoF/head coach working to plan and bringing in players that fit this plan I don't get this need for another keeper when we already got 2 good keepers to back up Kaminski. We could have just kept Brown to be back up Brittain instead of another signing. Edun is already the competition for Pickering at left back.

far too early to judge. Played well in his first 2 games. I want to see more of him, and I think we will cos I don't think Dack can play every game and we still have to manage his game time and fitness. He will never be old Dack but that's to be expected about two serious injuries.

Cos they don't have a goalscorer in the front line. Grant seems off the boil.

Time for Brook to get his chance now
