Yes the play off picture will be radically different by the time the Luton game kicks off. Blackpool could give themselves a lifeline and do all kinds of damage to Millwall by winning at Bloomfield Road tonight. Then it is last chance for 4 more all of whom need a win tomorrow. West Brom.and Norwich conveniently play each other, Preston go to Sheffield United and Sunderland face Watford. If any of those 4 get a win from those fixtures they deserve to be in the last day shake down.

No I am going back to the early 2000s Juve scandal. I agree the latest Juve scandal is just a total mess now. No consistency, no clarity on what the future attitudes would be and nobody emerging with with any respect or credit.

Fair point which circles back to GB stepping forward to taking the blame for something in EFL rules he is not responsible for...

In the psychological game, I'd like JDT to talk up playing Garrett as the ball winner in midfield. I'd be thinking twice in the Luton camp about having front line players facing a reckless hard as nails gives no quarter in block tackles teenager in a game with nothing at stake and the play offs less than two weeks away.

Am I correct that Ben's last three shots on goal have all gone for throw ins?

Palace away is must win and the timing means no first team players except Ayala getting game time. Even if we win, we could still drop.

30 hours before the deadline, Undav was in the bag and O'brien had just been greenlighted leading to the negotiation of a complicated deal, the like of which I cannot recall seeing before. Undav suddenly changed his mind about going out on loan and reading between the lines of 34 pages, there hadn't been clarity of responsibilities between the Director of Football role and the Company Secretary. In my book as CEO, SW should have been totally clear the Company Secretary as Chief Legal Officer carries the can for all legal contract completion and submission. Broughton publicly mea culpa means one of: GB over stepping Silvester's responsibilities and Silvester washing his hands Or Silvester not making sure things were water tight and using standard level clerking procedures to make sure paperwork was complete and on time then pointing out a clause in the DoF job description ascribing all transfer responsibilities to GB. My immediate reaction when the missed deadline became clear was why the ..... are Rovers employing a full time Company Secretary for something as basic as this to slip through?

That review of City finances could have Juventus style consequences for English football. I suspect we will end up with the last four title winners in effect being delegitimised but staying on the record books. The speed with which City commercial income rose to become the biggest in the world was either marketing genius of a level it would be the stuff of Harvard case studies or rigged. The investigation wouldn't have been initiated without prima facie evidence City have cheated the FFP on an industrial scale.

There are dangers of over playing exceptional talents like Adam. He is good but not so good he could play six weeks with a badly bruised ankle etc.

Eleven players fit enough to last 90 minutes and subs who can last 30 minutes without causing angst or embarrassment will keep me content in the hour prior to kick off.

Wow, Thank you. I am not on my own in seeing it this way. I have the highest regard for Broughton doing and saying what he did. And the process was documented and I did read all 34 pages of it.

Sheffield United v West Brom tonight. Home win promotes Sheffield United giving Luton less to.play for when they come to Ewood and means West Brom can't catch us IF we win our two matches.

Any comments about that handball in the penalty area in the 93rd minute?

Where is Adam most likely to get first team football next season?

At the time are the key words here.

We could turn it into a tiddlywinks game so long as we win.

I think Pears is edging it for his superior distribution.

Which dingle gets nominated for the Garrett block tackle launch into the stratosphere?

Tom Bloxham, an Irish midfielder from Spurs is signing for Rovers on his first professional contract. Glad Markanday's experience hasn't blocked that route to Ewood.

Looks like Tyler has played his last game for Rovers. Hope the operation is a total success. Hope I am wrong but I think he will leave a big gap in midfield. Would prefer JDT covers by bringing Garrett in rather than going 5 at the back.

Mowbray landed on his feet at Sunderland with a club with everything in place despite languishing in a lower league for a few seasons. At Ewood he walked into a lunatic asylum and we will forever be in his debt gor restoring us to a football club. JDT is different class again and if he stays for any length of time I am sure we will see the benefit. The contrast between the two as managers will be as great as the contrast between them in playing achievement.

I am certain the plan is not to sell either Adam or Ash this summer. That isn't to say a silly money offer would be refused but it would be beyond daft to plan to sell either this year. Broughton talks about creating value ie maximising. Not a car boot sale of future worldies. Dortmund paid £25m for Bellingham as a 17 year old in 2020. That is the yard stick for any offers this sumer.

I believe born in Georgia but lived most of his life in Turkey.

Undoubtedly but whether we are involved depends on shortening games to 93 minutes.

It is celebrated in Georgia where he was a local. Total fluke he ended up patron saint of England. But then we aren't a saintly lot by and large.
