I thought Markanday had a good game yesterday, he has improved no end in the last six months. Perhaps his loan to Aberdeen was worthwhile afterall !

Take your family out to Ewood.

Top six my arse, automatic promotion is our aim.

No the emphasis should be on players not to to do those things.

My train was cancelled and it cost £40 for a taxi home, I wouldn't change a thing.

I enjoyed today.

I think Adam Wharton showed exactly what he is today. Some of his passes were sublime, some of them were awful bordering on dangerous. I would still have him starting every week.

We won, who gives a shit.

Except for Ennis.

It wouldn't happen with T-cakes.

If we are playing two center-halves, I would say Gamble is nowhere near the first team, yet. If we play with three center-halves, he is still nowhere near.

They have not put too much thought into the construction of the league. They have not even considered any team beating City in the knock-out stages.

If we win, I don't care.

Which one ?

Isn't that the case for every manager, at every level ?

Maybe our hand is forced, but the players picked, are still the managers first choices.

We have got first choice players in every position. The problem is that they may not be very good.

A glass is always full, unless it is in a vacuum.

I will wait at least until we have played one game, before I make a judgement. At the moment we still have the best keeper in the league, Probably the best central defenders and midfield. I agree our attack looks weak, but I will put up with that.

Or it could just as easily be a promotion season.

I know it won't happen, but I would go with : Kaminski Carter Hyam S Wharton JRC Batty A Wharton Tronstad Szmodic Markanday Leonard

In that case we have to get better at short corners. Ours usually seem to be wasted.

I think most people want to keep hold of Dolan ; I think he is a bench and cup player.

I think I remember Mickey Droy playing, but I may be wrong.
