John Eustace - our head coach
islander200 replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Eustace is doing a fine job here but when was the last time a Premier league team appointed a manager from the championship with no Premier league experience? I'd say chances of Wolves going for him are very very slim -
v Luton Town (h) - 14/12/2024
islander200 replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Baker is a central midfielder and did fine when played there instead of Travis v Hull. Very hard to find another midfielder (better than Baker) who will be happy to come here and sit on the bench ,hoping for one of trav or tronstad to get injured or suspended. Its the same with centre back, I can't see Eustace breaking up the pairing of Batth and Hyam, and Carter will be back in January.Unless you over pay on wages hard to see a centre back willing to come in who will potentially be 4th choice.Id like a cb but just don't see it happening Any money we have should go on a striker followed by a winger -

Why do you feel we are in danger of losing Cantwell in January? He was available in the summer for a pittance of a transfer £500k yet he ended up here . Nobody will be coming in and bidding enough money for him in January -

He is a defensive midfielder. His job is to break up opposition attacks which he is excellent at. I didn't see Luton breaking forward too many times in that first half Do you know anybody else who thinks Tronstadt is poor? -

I was referring to the fact nearly every there is no clarity on the budget.Im sure in the summer the window had already opened and the budget still wasn't finalized according to Elliot -

Hard for snyone to give Eustace reassurance nobody at the club will know what budget there is till middle of January -

Football insider said ourselves, Watford and Swansea were looking at him back in September -

Eustace must think Duru isn't ready . Iv liked the look of him.Hopefully a decent loan can be arranged in January -

Is Duru injured? Not in the under 21s tonight but still doesn't make the bench with Brittain out. Is Litherland a full back? -

Nixon said Park pushed for Cantwell and Beck.Beyond doubt our 2 best signings in the summer -

Tronstad was a free transfer.What free transfers are we signing in January? No point Even thinking about transfer windows beyond that no doubt we will have a totally different model come summer like usual -

In the telegraph during the week (might have been quoting the minutes) it was said that Parks departure is down to him disagreeing with the clubs plans to only use data for transfer targets going forward. We have had Gestede already fronting up to the media defending the owners about the lack of money spent, with his "we don't get all the money at once" excuses. No wonder he is popular with the board and seems to be becoming the main man behind the scenes .Getting really fed up of them taking us for mugs -

With our budget they won't be players that qualify for a work permit that we will be signing. Gestede is unqualified and seems to have brown nosed his way into the shot caller at the club -

Nixon also reckons it will be loans in January.Apparently the Szmodic,Raya and Wharton money has gone on paying wages. Also said Gestede seems to be good at boardroom politics. Said he was behind the Gueye signing whilst Beck and Cantwell were pushed by Park. -

Nixons story today is the club are arguing over who to appoint as the new chief scout. Gestede wants a French or German head scout whilst others at the club have been talking with John Doolan who recently left Brighton -

islander200 replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Last 2 games understandable why he hasn't seen any minutes but surely Durberry is going to be recalled by Brighton in January? -

islander200 replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Tronstad has been excellent since he signed has had many more good performances than bad. He is a defensive midfielder what part of his game do you not rate?What does he not do that you feel he should be doing? If I remember correctly you also thought Graham was useless for us? -
Even when Brittain was out he played Carter at Rb who will be back in January Duru won't get minutes here this season

Venky’s v Indian Government (a)
islander200 replied to tomphil's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Because the reading owner was missing wage payments etc and bills weren't being paid. I agree the situation is a disgrace but the football authorities ain't going to get involved until such a time we cant pay wages or we ain't able to pay our bills -

Yeah I thought Hedges played very well in the first half as did Ohashi Travis man of the match for me
