If nobody else is brought in I would play a partnership of Gally and Markanday through the middle.

Eighth if we lose, fourth if we draw.

At least we have held out longer than last week.

Relax !

Isn't he a Brighton player ?

I would take a risk on saying, even without seeing him play, he will be an upgrade on Hirst.

Or he could try the truth !

the usual reaction from our players is, we don't give a fuck.

If a video of the Rovers training was released to the general public after every session, not many secrets would be given away.

If Diaz leaves for nothing, so be it. Keep going over old ground is going to change nothing. Let's just hope lessons have been learnt.

Back up to fifth

Here is something I never thought I would say, but I want Burnley to win tonight.

And yet, I would bet that if we progress and get an away tie, season ticket holders will get a higher priority on tickets than people who have bought tickets for the Brum game.

Yes to both questions

There is no "ressies" now. I would play players who want to play for Blackburn Rovers. This is my personal opinion, the beauty of living in a democracy is that I don't have to justify my opinion to anyone, all I have to do is live with it.

But your outcomes are fiction, the results could just as easily gone another way.

From what I have seen this season his contribution has not been so impressive. The manager is told that a player is not available because of his contract stance. I would be more surprised if the manager rails against the decision of his direct boss .

As it stands we will get nothing, If Diaz refused to sign, and was dropped we would get nothing, I don't see much difference. But there would always be the chance that if Diaz was not being picked he may have changed his mind about signing a contract, even if it was only to get a move. What other clubs do has no relevance to how Rovers should act.

What Broughton could have said is sign a new contract or don't play.

As a crowd entertainer just watch the video of Tugays pre match warm-up against Newcastle at Ewood.

They would if they were the ones available.

At least he wasn't our No1 target !

The problem being that you never feel the rovers should be criticised.

So is Gally.
