Not if you are selling him and you don’t want him injured

Saudi Arabia have just shown conclusively why playing out from the back, across the back is a truly horrible idea. Scored by the striker who would have been ours but for a dust cloud. 🛫

Still pissed off and the World Cup break doesn’t help. JDT needs to understand that the return at Ewood is like no other. No Mr nice guy. No fancy arse playing out of the back bollocks. Pick a team of warriors for this game and chuck them in a cold shower before the game.

I think the thing missing for me with JDT is any humility in all of this. Maybe it is cultural, who knows. The best leaders take accountability when things go wrong. Steve Cooper of Forest has owned the club’s position. He has explained the challenges but recognizes where the buck ends. It takes the wind out of the sails of the issue and it calms the storm. At the moment the gusts of dissatisfaction are swirling around players, formation, tactics, commitment and all stations south. Own it, put a stick in it, and move on to kinder waters.

It was horrible, sick making. I think Mowbray must have left his rolodex of post match interview words on his old desk. I heard the word “journey” in JDT’s interview twice. So here is another phrase “let’s take the positives” from this mind numbing performance. 1 JDT will realize that this is not another game and be better prepared for the return. 2. The club has a few weeks to think about twisting or sticking with Brereton Diaz 3 The club has time to reflect on who they need to bring in or ship out in January. 4 JDT may have time to reflect on the fact that Travis is not a good leader of men yet. His position is at risk as well. Hyam would be a better choice. 5. Hopefully there will be enough criticism in the media about playing out from the back, if the video isn’t enough evidence, to ensure this tactic is used more sparingly in the future.

Tippy tappy in our own half 3-0 down.

Hopefully that’s the end of playing from the back.

I can. Sod’s law

Playing out from the back is not good on my ticker.

Just watched the goals on Sky. Unbelievable poise of the penalty takers. In fairness both sides. This link is a keeper. Funny to think that Pears let in 11 goals and we won 🤔 https://www.skysports.com/watch/video/12743189/west-ham-2-2-blackburn-rovers-9-10-on-pens-carabao-cup-highlights

It’s so elementary

So proud of each of them. 10 penalties and nobody bottles it against Premier League opposition. Class across the squad.

I was stuck here for 5 mins until my mate texted congratulations. My ticker was on full throttle

Wow That surprised me. I thought it looked just a few changes. I am torn on this one. I am sure there are a few young first teamers who would have loved playing at a Premier League ground. Give a better balance and use the subs more. Won’t look great for us to get tonked and say it was the reserves. Doesn’t do much for their confidence if they are needed to step up. Hopefully I will be proven wrong and we give a good showing.

Maybe they got confused between a Happy Wednesdays gig and a Happy Mondays gig. 😉

“Here cones that rainy day feeling again.”

Unlike Ipswich. Stomach churner

Dont you just hate “90 +” in your life. That is where heartbreak normally resides Not today though👏

Should he stay or should he go? There are rumours today that Bradley Dack has fallen out with JDT and could be sold in January. Bad news or good business?

Looks like Dack is going to be moved on in January after an apparent falling out. Old Skool v New Skool?

Is Markanday injured. Seems to have slipped out of the reckoning. So much promise as this article shows https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11675/12725376/diwali-tottenham-legend-ledley-king-on-trailblazer-dilan-markanday-as-blackburn-host-celebrations

Gotta love his double somersault. Very European.

Dack’s back in. Tony has just picked him. 😉 https://www.lancs.live/sport/football/football-news/bradley-dack-blackburn-rovers-mowbray-25303006
