Ward-Prowse also signed. Are Hammers the slowest PL club now?

Visa received so he can now train with the team.

Agreed re Dyche. For all Everton's woes, there are enough troubled clubs around for them to come 17th. I will add Forest to the list of problem children already mentioned. Bournemouth have one heck of a good manager. That said, their losses and goal difference last season were all relegation numbers. They survived by getting an abnormal number of wins- if they draw those this season, they are doomed. Don't be depressed but Burnley could make the top half.

Yes but that run comes after the window has shut and the international break.

Season stats to date 2 games played 2 games won 2 new signings not yet made a debut 22 players started of whom 7 made full senior debuts 12 are academy graduates 6 goals scored 6 different goalscorers of whom 5 scored their first senior goal for the club. Having said all that, my guess is the same eleven who started against West Brom will start at Rotherham although Garrett and Gilsenan will be included on the bench.

For all the failings elsewhere around the club, JDT is exceptional and gives me hope promotion is possible this season. I like the selection head aches he already has and here's hoping GB has made them much worse by 2 September.

Perfect evening. First eleven mostly rested except for battening down at the end. Five full debuts. Three players get their first senior goals for the club Nobody injured as far as we know Exciting game helped me forget there were no pictures, no audio and www.rovers.co.uk minute by minute failed in the 21st minute!

+ 8 minutes

4-3

4-2

We do like scoring within 2 minutes of a kick-off!

Rovers 72% possession first half. Hedges both assists.

Batty badly at fault for the Walsall second. Apparently fortunate not to let in a third.

Ennis 2-2

Just about to write all Rovers but Walsall score again

Very smart move for our goal

Just seen the Walsall goal. Free header and Hilton horribly at fault

Good save from Ennis shot

Blackburn Rovers @Rovers · 3m More on the goal: Ennis slips Hedges through who squares it across the six-yard box for Gilsenan to slot home at the back post on his competitive debut. What a moment for Zak!

Rovers equalise immediately No news about the scorer yet

Very soft goal from a corner

Rovers very fortunate not to give away a penalty according to LT

Folks rabitting on about Wrexham for the last 20 minutes on Radio Lancs

Bad luck! But that gives me hope because I am not getting that dialogue box. Just says currently off air.

At the moment Match Centre is showing as Off Air. Last season Carabao Cup games came on air just before kick off so let's see what happens... https://www.rovers.co.uk/match/first-team/2023-24/g2372906
