If so,I look forward to it.

Converted wingers! LOL

I've been told on very high authority that that is completely unrealistic! Far be it from me to suggest that you are setting up TM to fail.

Allo!Allo! (sorry, couldn't resist!)

Nobody does!!

Pardon me for not being ITK but just a mere supporter. Obviously unfit to argue with you. Suits me.

The key word is "trying" to make us top 6 and its absolutely clear that we won't make it without an overhaul of the defence. Which, you seem to have forgotten, the manager foreshadowed. And don't say "I"m a Rovers fan, first of all" but accuse me of wanting Rovers to fail. "doom and gloomers" for me and other posters unspecified, but merely "positivity" for you. I'll stick with my analysis I think.

So why did you say it was unrealistic to expect full-backs now then? You're all over the place on this one, except in one regard----anything the manager does is acceptable to you. We really are not going all-out for promotion or even the play-offs are we because we haven't sorted out the defence and we won't? Keeper and centre-back not enough to plug all those leaks of last season. Tony falls short but does just enough to make it look like he's trying. And you fall for it.

Totally agree. "Don't judge the manager on the transfer window yet, wait till its closed" I remember reading---often. Now its too late to get in the defenders we knew we needed more than a year ago, according to the post you're quoting. I said a while ago, TM has a charmed life with some, nothing is ever his fault and no blame ever is attached to him. Every excuse under the sun! If its too late now why didn't he start the campaign earlier? That's not hard to follow is it?

"generally"----with a few exceptions?

Woy thought so!

We all do but some of us would have kept Raya in reserve. Guess the money wasn't there.

Really? You reckon?

Have we any pointers though?

Well that's true.. So Gordon Banks' save didn't signify? Obviously there's room and necessity for both!

ummmm......what about those reflex saves?

Much like us then!

The audit report from last season perhaps highlighted the difference in transfer fee, and therefore potential profit, between defenders and forwards? Its hard for us to accept that Blackburn Rovers might not be run principally as a football club.

There's been dozens of those type of articles. prominent among them is the number of clubs who've been "advised" to sign Dack!

The point of buying young lads for potential is that they are cheaper than the real thing------usually!

What's he done?

YET!

I ran out of breath with that message so ,sorry, missed the end!

I was referring to his Premier League experience, his England caps and his reported massive wealth! I think that's what young players would be interested in these days."been then, done that" "he can do it, so can I" sort of thing. His character doesn't bear scrutiny as I've clearly implied.

I don't somehow think we'll see Rodwell again. Certainly not fussed about it. Thought he'd be a good influence on young players and give them something to look up to. Can't see that he earned any respect really. Just wasting our time. Should be training hard now for a new season but he obviously isn't.
