If we could be confident of building something so that the group could stay together I'd be happy too. But I'm sure we'll lose Cantwell and Pickering in January and Trondstadt in the summer---at least. If a big offer comes in for Toth will we turn it down? If Pratt continues that first game form, will we keep him? Its soul-destroying to always be seeing what could be, then watching it disappear.

So long as we forget the cricket!!

I love that green kit but its virtually never seen. What's the point----money?

The thing is it soon will be. Everyone's for sale.

Yes, there are 'fans' who believe that its up turn up in big numbers and shout loudly in support of the lads. They have the wrong way round. The Club provides the entertainment, if we a) like it and b) think its value for money---we turn up. They have to provide the package first, we aren't obligated in any way.

We're never going to have a better reserve keeper than Pears and I thought he did OK. I wouldn't want him as first choice but thank God he wasn't sold by the gamblers who run us (as was their intention.) He isn't Toth but Toth isn't available.

Can we not pretend we're away in future eg have a long journey around the North in that super coach and then arrive at Ewood? Must be more ideas?

Out of our last 6 games we've won 4, all away and lost 2, both at home. Go figure!

Very lenient ref. Would have been a sending off there at the end in a Premier League game. Thoroughly deserved win, didn't expect it but we were far the better team. Must mention Hedges, a revelation lately. Team visibly tiring towards the end but Preston unable to take any advantage. Limp performance from them Given it was very physical towards the end I'd have given Guaye more minutes than that but clearly he's on the outer.

Good approach play, nothing at the end of it sums us up

Current batting pair doing well. Need to break this partnership.

Again!

Not being run as a football club are we?

Somebody with money who cares! That would be nice. (I can dream can't I?

Nobody would contemplate conspiracy theories if our owners and admin weren't such liars.

Never been anything wrong with the fans.

I keep saying it but nothing will make Venkys fund us to promotion, whatever any judge rules. Mismanaged decline is the path we are on.

As far as I'm concerned Number 8 is inside right and number 6 is left-half. Number 10 is Douglas.

No point fantasising about additional transfer money coming in from Wharton's future England appearances. Haven't we learned anything about Venkys yet?

Paid for by the sale of Pickering, Gueye, Cantwell----- at least. Clearly no move to tie Tronstad down so you're probably right there.

Btr are there players who played on Saturday who you'd rate worse?

That new formation didn't do much on Saturday. Is he better than any of them is the question.

Whatever the reason its poor do. Pickering should have played last Saturday and is clearly being frozen out. Probably because we can get a decent fee with which we can buy 2 or 3 players with it from Luxemburg and St Helena.

Dread to think about the state of the squad by Christmas with inevitably more injuries and some suspensions. No question that the academy will get more than its quota of minutes. We are really up against it.
