Gone to a back 5 now apparently.

According to Jackson

Like Leeds, Southampton's players will be just too good for ours. We'll put a shift in but it'll be a 2-0 defeat for us. Armstrong guaranteed to score.

Not a great performance and it was all Bristol after they scored but we hung on in the end. A much needed victory at home. Brittain, Wharton, Tronstad, Wahlstedt, Pickering all great.

He does. (Seems to be a lot of these "player x, always scores against us")

Szmodics not having the best of games so far (he's not alone either)

Defensive midfielder I think

Ennis starts! No Hill though 🤔

Obviously it's a good thing on the one hand but on the other,we are now celebrating more academy players filling out the bench because the squad is so thin/decimated.

None of the Rovers hierarchy, Waggott aside, would be willing to let JDT leave right now. So I assume we'd play hardball (assuming our hierarchy are capable) if Stoke made any approach. I don't know what Stokes expectations are but if they are expecting a promotion push and believe JDT is the man to deliver that, then they'll already know that they need to pay out some compo. JDT doesn't even feature in the betting (on skybet) for the next Sunderland manager but they might go for Eustace, pushing JDT higher up the Stoke wishlist.

Yeah, he always scores past us (or so it feels like) Good news he's out.

Stoke will go for Eustace I reckon. They spent a bit in the summer by the looks of it, not sure what their expectations are though. If they were willing to back JDT with some January money, could be an option for him. He might have eyes higher up the food chain for his next move though. If they sell him the dream of a promotion push though, could tempt him.

It'll be either you or Chaddy. How's your football manager knowledge?

No contract talks to date with JDT: https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/23982070.tomasson-gives-latest-blackburn-rovers-contract/ "No, there have not been any discussions," Tomasson told The Lancashire Telegraph. "We haven't spoken, I signed a three-year deal when I arrived." I genuinely think there is more chance of me signing a managerial contract at Rovers than JDT.

Everton just highlighting the ever growing gap between the Premier League and the championship. Handed a 10 point deduction and the 3 promoted clubs still can't get out of the bottom 3. And that's Everton, who are basically a mess as it is.

2 losses on the bounce, a paper thin squad looking knackered and wretched home form isn't exactly inspiring a lot of confidence for this one. Could really do with freshening things up a bit but there isn't many options to do so. ------------------Wahlstedt Brittain----Hill----Carter-----Pickering -----------Tronstad---Wharton Moran--------Szmodics-----Sigurdsson --------------------Leonard I'd start Ennis or Telalovic if JDT thinks either could do a job. Not many options otherwise. Travis at least can come back and boost the bench.

The cherry was almost on the cake as they got a 4th. As always VAR ruined everyone's fun.

Szmodics aside, our attacking options are woeful. Moran is too inconsistent, Leonard isn't ready, Sigurdsson started brilliantly but his form has dropped off a cliff edge, Markanday has never been good enough. Ennis, Telalovic, Gallagher, Vale aren't good enough/permanently injured. We've recruited poorly. We can cling to the hope players (Szmodics as an example) have improved a lot over time but that means it's a waiting game and they're unlikely to contribute anything this season.

Yeah I think Hill is better at CB.

Brittain move to RB, take off Scotty, move Hill to CB. Bring Sigurdsson on the right hand side.

Poor that. Our attacks have very little end product and our defence is gift wrapping opportunities for Leeds. If it's the same again this half, and I expect it will be, it'll end 0-3 minimum.

Comical from Wahlstedt

More mistakes at the back 😤

1 down, basically means we are done
