Dolan? FFS. Where's Dacky?

No changes at the break?

There it is. We can handle defeats but not when we aren't even remotely competitive.

And it's a stretch to call JRC a defensive option.

Unsure about Pickering in a back 3 and Edun has never really convinced at full/wing back. Hoping it works out but we'll see.

I know it's supposed to be a "fluid front 3" but I was really hoping that the days of Gallagher coming off the right would be over once Mowbray was gone.

It would be just our luck that they hit enter and upload the result to history books a second before. Aliens will discover the result in 1000's of years time.

Thought I'd search Ben Brereton-Diaz on twitter. Saw this from a Utd fan. "Plays for Blackburn, so might be willing to be backup" Get f***d, cheeky prick.

We'll find out soon enough. Hopefully, it's not the case but we've been expecting him to be off this summer. Could see Everton making a move if Nice did stick a bid in earlier.

Be absolutely gutting to see JPVH go to another championship club. Only 1 year left on his deal, even if they inflate the fee a little, I can't see them asking for more than £4m - £5m. It's a no brainer, fits the type of signing we are supposed to be looking for, young, decent, loads of scope to improve, high chance of selling him for a good fee down the line. Absolutely should be pushing the boat out for him.

Better than Vale? You would have thought so.

Waiting on the 2 vans! Now that would be some business. #BringJPVHhome

Bring Morton into the starting 11 to help out the midfield. I didn't see the Reading game but sounds like they struggled badly (as did everyone!) If we had enough CB's we could have gone for a back 3.

Absolutely guaranteed. Genuinely have no idea how this one will go. Biggest test for JDT was half time against Reading. He changed it up but it didn't have the desired effect. He knows it. Biggest test now is how we respond in the next game, against a decent side as well. Let's hope he's got a decent game plan up his sleeve.

Maybe I missed it but Lancs Live seems to reckon Phillips is set to stay?

Not for long if we are getting stuffed by the likes of Reading.

It seems like we are back to signing nobody again. I find it hard to believe we'll get a left back in. A CB (or 2) and a striker has probably just moved up the priority list after tonight. As it takes us an ice age to sign any players, I doubt we'll get more than 2 in before the window shuts.

How on earth have we been tactically out thought by Paul Ince? How?

BBD off and Edun on. No idea why.

3-0 down to a team managed by Paul fucking Ince.

Big Half time coming up from JDT. Sounds like changes are needed. Let's see what he does (if anything)

Sounds like this is a proper horror show

First proper test of the JDT era. 1 down, doesn't seem to be going to plan, away from home. Under Mogga this was pretty much a done deal. Let's see how JDT reacts.

I trust JDT but not too sure on Dolan or Vale starting.

First SSN notification that I've paid real attention to in a while. Everton would probably be the best destination for us, they generally like to chuck good money at targets. Bad move for BBD though, literally the graveyard for players these days.
