That side is play-off material. The side that Mowbray will pick is bottom half/relegation material. (Square pegs, round holes)

Do you really think Mark Hughes will get another Premier League job? I'd be extremely surprised if he did.

You could be right, Matty Platt has definitely travelled down. (Travis instagram story)

I don't know anything at this stage, it's all gone Pete Tong, certainly didn't see the Mulgrew thing coming. Wow.

My head's fallen off, this is mental.

WTF!!!

Rich Sharpe literally just copies what's on here or what a national journo says. Has he ever broke news?

No idea, heard last night it was on. Evidently there has been nothing since so I wouldn't like to say with only 90 minutes left. Not looking good I suppose.

Irons in the fire according to TM. Still confident Hanley is one.

No idea TBH. Not heard anything since last night when i posted.

Zimba seems to score every week! Did that lithuanian lad play?

He was captain vs Toulouse a few days ago.

The only thing RE Hanley which makes me doubt he would come back is the fact that Mowbray openly admitted he was on a list but not his 'A' list and therefore he may feel unwanted.

We should be all over that. Defenders have to be the priority now though.

I'm already the most hated man on BRFCS after Assombalongagate. Here we go again! Just passing on what I've been told, at this stage I'd be absolutely thrilled with Hanley back.

Just heard Hanley is on. Different source than normal but I'd still say trustworthy.

No, I don't get told anything anymore unfortunately (or very little) It was good to be the resident ITK for a short while!

This pretty much sums up my thoughts too. He knew the task in hand and was very vocal about it at the end of last season. It'll either be mission accomplished or mission failed by the end of the week. If it is mission failed then he has completely let down 8,500 season ticket holders and bullshitted the lot of us.

Bradley Johnson and Travis were class. Everyone else, crap. Something has gotta give - now.

No chance!! I love Nyambe! He should be playing every week, it's ridiculous that he's not and I'd be absolutely livid if we sold him for 2 million.

Our squad is huge. No Chapman, Williams, Adarabioyo, Smallwood on the bench who would all argue they're deserving of a place. (I've probably forgot some too.) Who drops out for Adarabioyo next week?!

Merry Christmas guys.

I'm quite surprised Brad Lyons hasn't received a number, even though we are overloaded in CM. Played well in the SPL last year, I assume he will be going back out on loan now..

I can't bloody wait to get back on Ewood tomorrow. I've not felt this optimistic about a season since Venkys took over. 5pm tomorrow I'll probably be crying into my chippy.

50/1 for Nuttall top goalscorer on SkyBet if anyone is interested!
