Moments before we scored today Caddis got called over along with Graham and Mark Venus was showing him some instructions. I still can’t work out if he was going to come on or they just wanted a brew.

Superb win, not a great first half performance but much better in the second even if we didn’t create much. Rayas two saves were immense!

There’s also the possibility that the local journo is being fed info from Forest to leak out in an attempt to squeeze a few extra pounds from us

Problem is Chaddy there’s a lot more out there that never fulfil their potential than those that do, recouping £10m is far far from certain.

I’ve only seen Sylla once and he scored so on that basis he’s better than Chris Brown!

Time to move on, £5m was enough of a gamble, this is getting silly. You do have to wonder why all our targets have been domestic, are we simply not scouting abroad now with this new system?

By the way Mackem, enjoy league one it can be truly bonkers but fun if you are doing well in it. Seen a few Sunderland fans on twitter enjoying it already. As long as you end up getting out of it you’ll look back with fond memories!

Wait we’ve got to 10 posts in and nobody has said must win yet? slackers

Cheers Mackem. Let’s expect for nothing other than another wage on the books but hope to be pleasantly surprised. Hell of a difference between a player tied down to £70k a week over 5 years and a player on a low wage on a short term deal. Down to him now to prove he still has what it takes.

One Burnley fan stabbed in Athens but sounds like he’s ok; another few badly beaten and twenty odd arrested for drunken behaviour and refusing to get on a bus

Happy with this, low risk with potential big payoff. It could be catastrophic but there’s no long term ties.

Happy with the deal personally, he has talent, Tony said it was a cheap deal and he can go at the end of the season if it doesn’t work. win win for me

Sleep they’ll be here when you wake, maybe, if not sleep some more.

I noticed they turned them right down for the first penalty but not for the second

The other Chap in the photo looks more like Donal Lenihan to me (Darraghs brother and gaelic footballer) purely because of how much it looks like Darragh Lenihan

Unless it’s just a conspiracy

TM: "I hope tomorrow we've got a couple of announcements to make and then we need players in the forward area to help us and are working hard on that as well." #Rovers sounds like a defender and someone else but not a forward in tomorrow then

If Rodwell is a cheap deal as alluded it could be a decent addition, still only 27

Good point in the end; Nyambe is becoming a really good player.

Thanks Mr McShane!

You’re welcome

Exactly what we needed, come on Rovers

Also seen that Victor Anichibe is apparently in the stands tonight at Ewood

Just not understanding bringing Conway on ahead of Samuel, he’s not the best but would be more of a replacement
