Maybe his closer to home radar will turn out to be as good as Savage’s.

What odds would you put on that…

I’m here all week 😁

If we could only sign one improvement to our starting line up, what position and type of player would people like it to be?

Ain’t No Mountain High Enough - Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell

McClaren will be getting twitchy.

The application to transition him to a non ESC player can only be submitted during a transfer window. Hopefully they’ve got all the paperwork ready to go…

No, games when a player is unavailable don’t count towards the calculations.

This is a genuine question as my memory is shit… Did overseas players used to need time to adjust?

Must be at least a £ there.

Sounds like one hell of a pub crawl!

It paints the picture of exactly where we are right now* - as you say in 5 games time things could be much worse and can’t be any better (vs last year). * this stat is fine as it’s proving the point I wanted to make, it’s the ones which don’t which are wrong 😁😁

Agreed but if anything it’s even more ‘condensed’ than usual.

I once went in every pub between where I was living in Blackburn and Ewood. I remember Le Tissier’s wonder goal but that’s about it. To this day I’m not sure how I got home afterwards 😁

5 games ago we were in the bottom three and 2 points from safety. We’re now 9 points clear of the drop zone. I’d say we’ve moved from negative both on and off the pitch to negative off and positive on. How long that will continue? I guess we’ll find out.

After 15 matches last season we only had a 7 point cushion.

We’re just 3 points behind where we were after 15 matches last season.

Now this is right. It seems you can see into the future 😁👍

At least our bowlers won’t be tired!

I don’t think they always play the opposition and for me that is the issue. They certainly don’t seem to have much of an ability to ‘change tack’ mid match. When it works it’s great but when it doesn’t (such as today) it’s awful - I hoped by now they might have found more of a middle ground.

We have absolutely no situational awareness.

Here’s a question… The first role of an opener used to be to see off the new ball. If they’re always just going to ‘go for it’ from ball one is there any reason to use specialists (I use that term lightly in regard to ours!)? Personally I don’t see the point, we might as well just pick the best six batsmen we have and draw lots for what order they bat in.

Not looking good.

Obviously, but for now the gap is six points without a game in hand.

Indeed, but for now we don’t.
