Wonder if he will be given a run of games and proper chance this time?

He can't be any worse than Douglas and Bell anyway. We paid a transfer fee for him , with the noises coming out of the club it sounds like he will be our only cash buy unless we bring money in from sales.He will presumably start season as first choice.Hard to bring in a loan who will be happy to play back up, and if we do have any funds for cash buys then it should be spent on trying to improve the first 11 not spent on squad fillers, we have an academy for that.

Hilton has completed his loan move

Not of the standard required to get promoted, but even if we had Messi and Ronaldo we wouldn't get promoted with this fella in charge. We have stayed up comfortably last 3 seasons even with all the departures still feel that we won't get relegated.Our dismal run last year was down to Mowbray continuing with a style and first 11 that clearly wasn't working

Or it could be the manager getting the tactics wrong,not choosing the correct starting 11 and playing multiple players out of position

Why were Forest so adamant that they wouldn't sell before their valuation of 7 million was met?Surely if he was as talentless as you suggest they would have been happy to get him off the books for whatever they could get. You said in an earlier post that his involvement in the Copa America won't increase his value or attract interest which is nonsense if he continues to perform for them as he has done since the tournament started.You keep mentioning his goal against "lowly " Bolivia like that's the only thing he has done for them.He has played well in both games his running with and without the ball creates a lot of space for his teammates.I agree he will never be a high scoring centre forward but he has plenty of attributes to aid a side playing wide of a 3. You do this a lot with players,you never take into account how a young player can develop.Earlier this season or last season you were saying Mason Mount wasnt very good and only getting in the Chelsea and England side due to his relationship with the manager.More recently it's Declan Rice who isn't very good yet he is being linked with top sides and many many managers,pundits etc talk about him becoming a top player. It's similar with the Armstrong situation, you saying how we won't have anyone to score goals, players come and go,players step up like Armstrong did when you made the same statements about who is going to score when Dack got injured

Was anything said about potential transfers on radio lancs tonight?

Dozzell from Ipswich has joined QPR.Linked with us earlier in the summer

Luke Dowling left West Brom today

He won't be on the market as a permanent option,rated at Liverpool and already been involved with first team squad

https://www.lancs.live/sport/football/football-news/blackburn-rovers-jake-kean-interview-20711797 Interesting article with Jake Kean he tells of Celtic bidding 3.5 million for him but the Venkys rejecting it as they wanted 6 million These people have no business in football

Finished it last night,last two episodes in particular were excellent

Plus Ismael will most likely be wanted by bigger clubs.Be suprised if he is still manager when the season starts

What's surprising about the manager being quiet when the season is over?He will be spending time with his family etc like the players

Chapman not hearing from the club for 3 month while out on loan is a disgrace.

Possibly because our senior players won't sign on for a few hundred quid a week

Mowbray will be on holiday now will he not? If he was going surely he would be gone by now

At most normal clubs id agree but let's be honest whatever we get for Armstrong only a tiny portion of it will be reinvested in to the playing squad and I wouldn't want Mowbray spending big money anyway so the fans don't win by Armstrong leaving at least if we have him next season we have someone with a proven record of scoring goals in this division.

Nixon saying we want to loan Pears out and bring in another number 2

None of what you said is reason enough to think signing Ryan Gauld is a no brainer

Oxford must not have appreciated him enough either.He is a quality dribbler but he is in no way a top quality player and that isn't due to Tony Mowbray.

I think Armstrong has had a terrific season and is clearly our biggest asset at this moment in time, however his record against the better sides in this division isn't very good, 1 or 2 goals against the top 6 sides in this division. I'd question his bottle a little bit as quite a few times this season were games have been tight or we have had a chance to get back into a game and Armstrong has had either a penalty or clean through on goal and he has completely fluffed it.For some reason he never goes around the goalkeeper. With one year left on his contract added to the fact clubs have taken a financial hit during the pandemic I think talk of 20 million fees is a bit pie in the sky. Even if we where to get big money for him we would likely only get a small fraction of it reinvested into the squad and it would get spent by a manager who is leading us nowhere.Its a lose-lose for the supporters again .Bad times

Finished snowfall quality once again
