  1. Incredible momentum. They have bought very well indeed. And Travis has a point to prove. Interesting side note that two graduates of our loan school academy did well for England U21. We certainly paved the way for Elliott.
  2. i agree. They can score from virtually anywhere and usually do in injury time. I am sure Travis will want to play a blinder for a number of reasons. One of the main reasons has left us which will disappoint him.
  3. And we certainly don’t want a slow centre back against their forwards. Morsy in midfield makes Travis look like a cherub.
  4. So I am a little confused. We didn't get the Sunderland chap because he was over 30. Then all of a sudden we get two over 30 year olds in this window. One is out for the season and the other banned because he is a trifle slow.
  5. The basic problem is that everyone below us is winning.🤔 There are two places downstairs now and Wednesday are on a tear. Won 5 games out of 6 with a worse owner than us. At least he was smart enough to sign a good manager
  6. “I left Blackburn because it was a difficult situation,” he said. “Of course, they cut the budget. I signed up for a project which changed, that was the reason.” What a shocker that’s a first in football. Unheard of in the championship. 🤔 We will see how this cozy little number goes. There is an expression Winners never quit and quitters never win.
  7. To be fair we have been walking on eggshells to get points. JE doesn’t want to ship goals and take us down. Hopefully this game has boosted our confidence and we have many more options, as everyone showed their capabilities. An opportunity to play more off the front foot. What pleased me so much was that we subbed three pivotal players and brought on three relative unknowns and they rose to the task.
  8. Oh and Adam Wharton, who the commentator mentioned played a blinder against Burnley and must have left a big hole. Not tonight.
  9. Let’s not forget the Championship’s leading goal scorer missed the first. We were always on the back foot after that and clawed back.
  10. Sick Sick Sick. Proud Proud Proud. So many good performances from those on edges of the squad. Confidence of the players and the shape even with the three changes was excellent. At least the manager has options in the next few games. Buckley looks a new signing and Markanday has his best game for us.
  11. Rovers gloves on for a chilly morning walk, Rovers shirt ready for the game. I’m all in. This isn’t just a cup game for our players. It is a career game. A chance to catch the eye. A chance to make the headlines. A chance to become a legend. Those chances don’t happen very often. Yesterday has gone, tomorrow isn’t here. All we have is today. Let’s do this Rovers.
  12. Jack was a hometown boy who made his money and gave it back to his community club. Perfect culture fit. The money of course helped Chelsea, Man United, Newcastle, not so much. Good culture at Ipswich now after a succession of Bobbins managers and owners.
  13. I am not so sure you could call the Liverpool subs money men. As a football fan it gave me enormous pleasure to see very inexperienced players lifting that trophy. Very much down to an extraordinary manager. As someone said, not many managers love their players. Klopp loves his players. I may be wrong but I am getting the feeling that Eustace has a deeper bond with the players than JDT did. He seemed more aloof and was more concerned about his own career path. What I do know is that money can’t buy a thriving and positive culture in a football club or any organization.
  14. And Harvey Elliott lifts the Carabao cup. The kids beat the money men. Building a team of youngsters that can win is a good strategy. But you need a big Mac or Van Dijyk at the back to give confidence. Eustace has to get the best out of our youngsters by building the confidence again and getting the senior players hungry again. I think he can do it once we are out of the brown stuff.
  15. I am sure Buckley is delighted to be back under a new manager. A chance to prove himself.
  16. Lets get a couple more to relax the nerves. Old guys leaving the boot worries me. Don’t need 10 men on a day like this.
  17. Adam really has jumped from the frying pan into the fire. He is letting his football do the talking but it must be hard adjusting to life down south with the spectre of his admirer about to get the chop. I guess it is handy to have first-hand experience of a shit show.
  18. What a difference a day makes. Thank God we were not waiting weeks for a new manager. I am hopeful about the Eustace appointment. He knows where the bodies are buried in this league. I think he can get a tune out of our team and nice to have a big Mac with an appetite, in defence. So on to the Big Club with two managers desperate to stick one on their former employers who binned them.
  19. Welcome to the Forum. Thanks for sharing. Hopefully he will deliver on your comments. We certainly need tightening our defence.
  20. The king is dead long live the king. JDT was angling for a clean exit with his brand intact. He has achieved that. Eustace managed to get the big club up the table before their visionary owners potted him for Rooney. All i want is a solid manager to get us playing gritty championship football, stop us titting around at the back, and get us a few points on the board. Starting today.
  21. Wouldn’t it be revolutionary if the players came out smelling blood and won 4-0. Then all pull up their shirts at the end and underneath it says “This was for the fans. “ Own it lads. You are the badge on the park.
  22. Waggott was due to sign JDT exit terms but pushed shred instead?
  23. I wonder wherher the disharmony is a result of our current league position. The beautiful football may have lost its allure upstairs as we wander into relegation land. The infusion of a couple of experienced hard bastards will hopefully shore up the defence. It certainly won’t lend itself to playing out from the back. Maybe an end to the Scandinavian imports and back to a more direct approach? It works for some of the Premier top teams.
  24. I agree with your agreement😀 At one stage I really thought that it would be Adam out and Big Mc in. I really didn’t think we would get the American lad. Why I am excited about having McGuire in is that I live in the States. The number of fans who will start following Blackburn and researching our heritage will be great. When I wear my Rovers shirt around people will recognize it. The standard is nowhere near Championship level. I watch Philadelphia Union, but there are some very good players knocking around. I think we have recruited players oven ready for the championship. We need that. We also kept Gallagher and he will want to prove himself to us or anyone else watching.
