Well its doesnt matters when discuss Rovers related transfer links and stories. The Sun was wrong for the Hillsborough reporting but their reporting on football matters like England or transfers is decent enough. I dont buy any papers to read when the ones I wanted to read are online for free.

I agree that an announcement should have been made by now. Simple as. I'm ready to get back to watching live football inside a stadium again

Its looks like we will have season ticket announcement within the next week or so. Source is the LT I expect a kit unveiling in the first week in July when our deal with Macron starts

Surely it doesnt matter what paper a player link is from?

Why does it matter what paper it is on football messageboard? I'm interested in discussing any players links we have but we have been barely linked to anyone yet. Which is understandable in June.

England's batting has been poor again. Simple not good enough

Anderson become England's most capped player ever. What a great bowler he has been

Back to insults again. I have said I would play Henderson with Rice for the Croatia game then not start for Scotland game and play Mount in centre midfield with Rice. Team for Croatia game Pickford; James Stones Maguire Shaw; Henderson Rice;.Foden Mount Rashford; Kane Team for Scotland game Pickford; James Stones Maguire Shaw; Mount Rice; Rashford Foden Grealish/Sterling; Kane

Only going to get fit by playing games

Chapman's Rovers future increasingly uncertain. https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/19360992.harry-chapmans-blackburn-rovers-future-increasingly-uncertain/

Blackburn Rovers interested in Terell Thomas https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9671527/Blackburn-Rovers-Barnsley-set-battle-AFC-Wimbledons-Terell-Thomas.html

Never said to test his fitness in the Croatia game. He has been training the last 2 weeks so I guess he is fit now and for starts on Sunday with Rice.

Pickering will be first choice

I suggested that's was the one of the reason why he left for Sunderland cos he wanted a greater say in recruitment. I think he suggested certain players but Mowbray ignored them and signed Ayala and Douglas instead This us where I would be looking Begium, Holland, Turkey, possible Austria aswell France and Germany. We should have looking at these leagues since our promotion 3 years ago. Mowbray and this European scouting network set have been ready to go when we got promoted especially if Mowbray wanted to play this possession based game. It shouldn't be problem if you have proper recruitment network in place to find this players. That's why these people watch plenty of games from around the European and UK games. Rest of it is just excuse that Mowbray will used. We have to keep developing our good young players from our academy aswell as find gems in the lower leagues.

Is FM going to know everything? Harvey was in charge of recruitment department and had some good staff under him. I still think its fully worth having a European scouting network as they will be plenty of players we can sign still

James for me is our best right back currently. Against a good solid Croatia team I would play both Rice and Henderson. Then see how Henderson is after that game given he has been injured for a while before just returning

No surprise that Wilder isn't getting the WBA job. Given that they have Sporting director there and that's one of the reasons he left Sheffield United. Surprise they gone for Wagner. Not someone I rated that highly.

White has been selected to replace TAA so thats gives you 5 centre backs in the squad. Still don't understand why we need 3 right backs in this squad. I wouldn't have picked Saka either and picked Watkins who cover can wide and the striker role. My team for the Croatia depending on injuries/fitness is Pickford James Stones Maguire Shaw Henderson Rice Foden Mount Rashford Kane

Glyn Chamberlain is the head of our European Scouting network. Maybe they will target a new Recruitment chief with more data focus background. I have to completely disagree on your point about no point us having European Scouting of our size. We can still target players in Belgium, Holland, France, Germany. Plus other countries like Turkey, Sweden and Norway.

Agreed there. Dolan, Dack, JRC, Armstrong, Buckley, Rothwell, Brereton all have plenty of skill to proved that opinion is wrong Do we play with a 10 in Mowbray 4-3-3- formation? Very strange formation and for me we still need a good defensive midfield in front of the back 4 allowing Travis to play his natural game Well done on those stats and proving in wrong. Maybe with them we should be starting him more and develop his obvious talent into a key player in the future

Yet again. Asked Crooke this week if they had been any progress. He was on holiday this week so he will chase this up this coming week. Maybe they have picked their choice but he is having to work his notice period

Well if that's the way you want to put it but it wasnt the point. Mowbray chased Ayala years ago, so Mowbray knows all about him and should have stayed well clear of signing him. I dont see our recruitment team suggest him. Do you? But our recruitment team where heavily involved in signing Kaminski or Dolan. Will Mowbray have final say or will it be Pasha who will?

I have plenty of faith in our recruitment team in recommended players to the Manager. The problem is if he decide that he wants players that's the recruitment team havent recommended. Will be interesting to see who we appoint as Head of recruitment and whether that person is more data focus than Harvey was. Just look at last summer recruitment and do you think our recruitment team recommend Ayala or Trybull or Pears or Douglas. Cos I dont. I think they were Mowbray own choices.

No its doesn't surprise me cos I know how much you enjoy watching live football inside a stadium from previous conservations we had

For me, yes I think the time has come that's he becomes first team regular. The talent and ability is there he just needs regular game time now form and fitness depending. I've said we need a change of manager for the past 5 months now and I said we need change tactics now. What more do you want? All down to the bids we get and whether they are acceptable to Rovers. Plus can we get who we want to replace him with? All down to who we will sign this summer Who knows. It's down to who we recruit as his replacement and how that player settle into the team. Until that's happen no point in predicting what will happen
