Dislocated ankle so maybe one of those that looked much worse than the reality More an unlucky one than a terrible tackle, had his leg not got caught that way there would have been no card and no foul

Foot was definitely flopping around but hopefully it’s clean and a swift recovery

5 minutes was signalled - which seemed conservative you couldn’t have complained had it been 6 or 7 given the amount of scraps and stoppages. The ref went down right as it was signalled. I started my stopwatch (old habits) when the new ref came on and they scored about 4 minutes in

Not a single summer signing featured for us today, shambles of a window

Apparently Mowbray has said he is proud of how we dug in today….

Having seen a replay of the Lenihan tackle it’s a horror tackle, red all day every day, to make it worse it was just idiotic, no need at all

Miss chances like Brereton just did and we deserve that sucker punch, awful

Awful from Travis he’s lucky we didn’t concede

8th yellow Brilliant entertainment

Blackburn end chant ‘you’re not fit to referee’ lol

Take that at half time, some great passages of play after a very poor first 25

Presume he means because we are playing the team Bell joined even though he isn’t playing

Harry f’in Pickerin’

Second best and lucky to have 11 men but BOOOOOOM have that

Guessing school kids and free tickets

Looked like a red from up here but I’ve not seen a replay

Brereton starts Not a single summer signing in the starting 11

It’s my daughters first game too using her brothers season ticket, she’s 5 so I’m doubtful it’s going to hold her attention

I saw an account share a view of Bell vs Pickering and their starts to the season based on their stats. Bell was ahead in nearly every metric but Pickering leading on chances created and crosses. He’ll be out to prove a point no doubt but you’d hope Nyambe would have his number

Jack Vale has bagged a hat trick on his Wales u21 debut

Pre order with no delivery date but expected to be the end of the month!

I see Ashley Phillips is with the England under 17’s at the moment

Whilst I agree to a degree (I decree), there is also an element on Twitter where there is an almost passive aggressive element of hyper positivity and sneering at anyone who questions things (the London based journo for example but I’m not convinced it’s not intended to be a wind up) There is a middle ground which I imagine most people fall into

I think we are in agreement buddy, Chaddy had said why would we hear from them but I think it’s entirely reasonable to expect to have had some word on the back of the failure to land a striker

Rich Sharpe said he had reached out for comment from the club and manager about the window but hadn’t got a response. Chaddy it’s not unreasonable to expect that the club be available for comment in the local paper outside of pre game press conferences
