So for the first time in history (and probably the last) Pasha was right if he managed to get a bit extra in terms of add ons out of McAnthony and Posh? I feel ill just typing that!

He’s not really in a much different position to when he was here though, half decent, steady championship type.

Poor result and Mcloughin has to take a huge amount of blame even though we were second best till then. Against a tough challenge we did pretty well but the second was always likely. Think we’ll be ok this season but it’s a poor start.

Some finish that to be fair

I was a fan last season but it’s awful from Gueye, he looks done here

Cantwell needs to calm down there he’s being silly

Love those two crosses on the move from RA

Now that is poor refereeing that time, no reason to stop the quick throw in

Hedges needs to lift that but Tronstad should be shooting there

Decent header first one but needs to score, stunning goalkeeping to be fair

I’d have been tempted to put Miller on along with Gueye, if a throw in anyway in the final third becomes an opportunity we need to try it

Why should they change? If it meant you can’t have a red for conceding a penalty there’s no incentive not to take a man down when about to score or handling on the line. The rules are fine, our defenders decision was the issue

yes I have to confess I’m not sure on the word of the law now and if it matters where the foul starts or ends as he had hold of him outside then still inside. Either way it’s the most blatant red card and 100% the fault of our lad

If it’s a genuine attempt to win the ball you wouldn’t be sent off, a trip or pull like that and it’s both

100% a red card and if it’s in the box it’s a penalty as well it’s shocking from an experienced pro

The only argument would be the double jeopardy rule but if he’s decided he’s not gone to win the ball then it’s right.

Seems we’ve had 3-4 shots but some blocked

I don’t think Kargbo is rubbish but he’s frustrating and when we are up and running with the new signings shouldn’t be a starter Understand the unchanged team today and he got an assist last week but get Morishita on at half time

From a football perspective not sad to see Leonard leave, I think he has a good strikers brain but has been bullied more often than not when I’ve seen him. Can see him being a handy league 1 forward but it’s good money if we can get it for him.

Spot on I saw someone ask earlier if Travis could be considered a legend, not even in the same galaxy as a legend for me!

So the player liaison officer is ‘so glad to be out’? She really should go to the police if we held her hostage or against her will, maybe she was hard done by, maybe she’s bitter or maybe it’s in the shades of grey. The club is a mess behind the scenes we know that but it’s easy to take shots once you have stopped being paid.

Travis is ‘welcome back at Ewood any time’ then?

I sadly think he’ll have the same trajectory as Willem Tomlinson, hope to be wrong of course.

Al fucking Khalood? He’s probably going to be a very rich man but at his age it seems a poor move for a footballer. Suppose he gets to play against some players who were once at the top of the game at least Anyway we’ve hardly forced him out, should we just keep players around forever if they are surplus to requirements? I don’t understand that sentiment at all; yes he’s been here a long time but been paid all that time Edit - just watched the interview and that was quite an uncomfortable watch I’m not sure that was needed at all unless he requested it

I think it was a blatant red at any speed, he’s gone in to do him not win the ball. The fact he’s tried to pull out is irrelevant as he still raked him down the calf. Stupid from the lad
