Well that was about as poor a performance I’ve seen in a long while , possession stats don’t hide the fact that we have just been stuffed 4-0 by Rotherham,  we need new blood yes but we also need a new mentality a new style of play and a will not to get beat there’s something seriously wrong with a bunch of players and coaches if we have never recovered a single point after conceding first 

Spare a thought this time in 2017 our Midfield was Feeney Lowe Akpan Bennett 😳😳 … Travis Buckley and Morton don’t see all that bad now do they 

We seem to have lost the point of transfers , you bring players in that improves your first 11 that in turn improves your squad if this guy isn’t better than Travis Morton and Buckley what’s the point ?

Jo Inge Berget has left Malmø now, free agent. Not wanted there anymore according to himself on Instagram. Wonder if JDT will pick up the phone...

Not a fan of Berget joining Rovers personally, mostly because of his age.

Is he good enough regardless of age ?

If he does, then someone on Rovers' staff would need to be strung up by their knackers. Based on the evidence presented by the lad himself though, I am guessing no-one is worrying about their knackers down Ewood / Brockhall way 😉

As things stand, the lad is actually in the way, rather than adding anything of interest or value to Rovers' prospects.

Agreed

Hirst will go to somewhere like Luton and get a bag full of goals 🙄🙄

id`e love him here,the only way it`s happening is with a cash and player offer i suppose

Gally 

What really disappointed me was the lack of desire to get back in the game after their first goal , there was no passion no drive shown by the players JDT picks the team and before a ball was kicked we were all worried 

the gameplan seems to be defend deep hold the opposition off and hit them on the break which is fine , a lot of teams at every level play the same way but once you concede a goal you have to change we didn’t , we don’t that’s why we lose every time we concede first 

BLUE ARMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can’t help but think Burnley will work on their defensive frailties that were exposed by Sheffield Utd , we are much bigger and physically imposing that the Burnley and we should not  be afraid to use that advantage  , i see Burnley having a lot of possession and us defending deep and hitting BBD on the break I,d be tempted to play Dolan instead of Smodizcs  , not because he’s better but Because he wins so many free kicks and those set pieces  could be key for us

Do you not think Buckley loss of form could be down to him playing slightly different position ? .. for me his best games were when Mowbray played him further up the field , not the false 9 nonsense but when in a 3 with Travis and Rothwell and he was the most advanced of the 3 Closing down defenders and winning the ball higher up the pitch

If we are done we are done. 

Mola can play at left back and the middle of midfield but we have Adam Wharton and Jake Garrett for CM after Travis, Buckley, Morton so plenty of options for that. 

Rovers are done for this transfer window from what Rich Sharpe has been told from Rovers

I did say experience in the middle we are a team of young talented players who play with no fear at times but you need a wise old head too  and yeah Mola can play left back but is he a left back ? Edun can play left back but he is shit there and where is the cover for Brittain after SVBD never arrived ? JRC is woeful 

Disappointed we didn’t get the 3 signings we thought we were going to get , think both full back areas should have been addressed and I still think we are missing some experience in the middle 

Is there a loan window after this ?

At late hour a player must come in as part of any outgoing deal for BBD  unless Dembele is all but done just waiting on BBD ?

Sorry if I be missed it , I’ve scanned about 30 pages in 10 mins 

so we’ve signed a defender who can play cm and lb .. is he any good ?
 

Dembele ?? Is that BBD replacement ? 
 

JRC .. I’ve got the car running where does he want dropping off ?

Did I just see Phil Foden in a Rovers shirt ?

all those who have been saying just how good Adam Wharton was kudos to you because that was an outstanding performance tonight I can only think of Phil Jones against Chelsea who’s first start in a league game better than that

tonight team is 

Kaminski; Travis, Carter, Ayala, Pickering; Morton, Wharton; Hedges, Dack, Brereton Diaz, Dolan.

 

Substitutes: Pears, Carter, Edun, Garrett, Buckley, Markanday, Vale.

No Hyam ?

Hypothetical question , would you take Barkley if it meant losing Dack to Sunderland 

Barkley - can’t see it , would want a Salgado at Stanley House style photo before I believe that

Hirst - meh don’t know much about him tbh but from what I have heard and seen Is He a replacement for Gally ? Will Mowbray come in for him ?

Bowler - if as Nicko  reports Blackpool want 4m then that’s gone up  1m since earlier in summer , Blackpool playing a good game the later you leave it the more you pay
