The importance of a good pre season, especially for the older players can’t be overstated. Forshaw on signing up was bigging that up and now looks like he is bloody injured before a kicking a ball in anger 😡

They really do, the entire starting midfield were brought up through Rovers ladies. This result will be the very last thing Pasha needed, no doubt the spotlight will once more be shone on Blackburn Rovers, it would seem to be the only club in the developed world not prepared to invest a few quid to cash in on the development of the women’s game. Unbelievable, most especially given the head start the club had as one of the pioneers of ladies football. Shame on Pasha, shame on Venkys.

I’m really hoping that the minutes are out shortly, the season begins and we get back some momentum in achieving objectives, removing Pasha and ultimately, the owners selling our club.

Probably been mentioned already but just in case it hasn’t, new fitness and strength coach in from Watford. Replacing Hodges, who of course has gone to Eustace and Derby. Come on John, it really is getting beyond a joke now 😡

Sam Lavelle, also ex Rovers and not sure but possibly Nolan ?

Might be wrong but seem to recall we were reported to have an interest in a Hull player last pre season. Probably the same one and someone has found a list whilst clearing out Park / Lowe’s desks 😊

Couldn’t agree more Carl, hope to see a PASHA Out flag in San Pedro next week 🙏

Indeed, should have been signed up for a further year midway through last season. With regards to Carter, his injuries are becoming a real worry.

Rumoured to be Coventry City.

I think we have got another good manager but unfortunately, like the last two, he will be undone by Pasha and his appointed stooges. The owners, Pasha and stooges are actively killing our football club, surely enough is enough.

That game away at Huddersfield, under JDT, he was like a man possessed and almost single handedly dragged us back in to the game for 2 down, Hedges last minute leveller.

Nixon just looking to thwart Mercer’s scoop 🙈

How long have they had to get this sorted, totally incompetent.

Couldn’t agree more. Aside from Khadra, difficult to recall anyone with genuine pace since Josh King, and Bowyer kept him on the bench.

Me too, he seemed to be an unusually exciting signing and so feared the worst. We have learnt the hard way that there is never a ‘done deal’ at Blackburn Rovers until they are on the pitch and kicking a ball around in Blue and White, just ask O’Brien, Brierley and Maguire !

Is the Stanley match sold out ?

Many thanks Arbitro & Chaddy, will now sort the travel out. Not my preferred way to watch Rovers but will be in hospitality box as my pal is a huge Baggie and has a hospitality box ST and only time we meet up nowadays.

Anyone know whether the Hawthorns is a confirmed 15:00 kick off ?

Yea, Harry is on the slow side and there are better LB’s in the league but he is a competent player and rarely let’s us down.

Maximum initial transfer fee of £1.5m across all four, is my guess.

I think Duru has potential, let him compete for a shirt rather than loaning him out again.

Would be very surprised as imagine that he got a decent deal when he signed the last contract, can’t recall whether it was a 3 or 5 year deal. Would have thought that it might be difficult to shift him or Buckley given their existing well paid contracts.

A season ticket holder > 40 years and I have renewed, mostly out of a perceived and misplaced sense of duty. However, had there been a public call from the coalition / Trust to boycott, I would have observed it, indeed, I was just waiting and hoping that would be the case but it never materialised. The only chance we have to save our club, is to act together but we need some joined up thinking and leadership to move on mass as a coordinated fan base and for the greater good rather than individuals, for their own reasons.

Life would be a lot easier, if we could all live in the Chaddy zone. Whatever crap they throw at you, you just can’t get enough, Stockholm syndrome.

Always nice to beat the Germans, congratulations to the squad and Lee Carsley 🙂
