This has been pointed out, and the fact he can't get a place in a team that's near the bottom of the league

I wouldn't say it's pointless because the team needs pace and we don't have a genuine winger But when a struggling club like Huddersfield presumably don't deem him good enough and they've just signed 2 more wingers then you have to ask questions as to why we're taking him on

No one mentioned a "second coming" - only you. I merely asked the question as to why, if he's so good at "assists", Huddersfield are letting him go

I also asked why fans so keen on him and why are Hudds letting him go

Wingers can score goals too The question remains, why are members so keen on him and why are Hudds letting him go?

3 goals in 70 apps for Huddersfield. Why the enthusiasm for Thomas and why are Hudds letting him go?

Hughes and Souness were a different place and time. It’s been pointed out that Sam was perfect for us at that particular turbulent period and to rock the boat further by sacking him was a bad idea. So yes you can role the dice and sometimes get lucky and find a gem of a manager but the chances are you won’t - as we’ve found out

Several nails struck firmly on the head in that post. Should be pinned to the top of the message board in eternity The only amendment I would make is that the decision to sack him WAS ludicrous, in fact it was worse , it was one of those WTF moments (rather like Brexit) when you think the world has gone mad and (owing to age and experience) you just get that feeling in your gut that it was an incredibly bad move and would have disastrous long term consequences. Agree with the comment about the ludicrous fans who still can’t see it. Clowns is too complimentary though because clowns are entertaining. They’re just fools

As the old truism goes.... If it ain't broke (and it wasn't), don't fix it.

Is that a central reservation or an Indian one? Do please enlighten us on your reservations. Pep would love to know

When was the "afterwards"? When he'd become a big star at Dortmund and Rovers were back down in the second division? Speaking in 2017, Lewandowski said: "I could not fly to Blackburn because of the volcano but I wanted to go there just to see what the club is like because I didn't know back then where I was going because if I travelled there, I would then know which is the best club for me. "Maybe if I went there and saw the club, the stadium and everything, it would have become my first choice". Ultimately the volcananic ash cloud and John Williams getting cold feet over paying £3-4m for a young Pole ultimately scuppered the deal but there's little doubt he was lined up and could easily have ended up at Ewood Sam's got some questions to answer but there's no doubt he was good for Rovers and Rovers were good for him. If he'd been given a fraction of the money his successors wasted on poor players we'd have been OK under him for years in the Prem

It's their job to sell the club to prospective new players. If they can't do that there's little point in them having highly paid jobs Having said that, all players are motivated only by money - so if we can't match other clubs on wages it's all futile anyway

Sam is the man. The Everton fans won't like it but he'll keep them up Old debate but we'd have been in the Prem for many more years and possibly still now if the twerps hadn't sacked him Moving on, Sam had Lewandowski lined up for Rovers before he was dumped Anyone of that calibre coming in this week?

Perhaps he should take up athletics? I liked the Travis of a few seasons ago but the lad hasn't developed at all. In fact, he's become slower physically and mentally.

All will become clear (or not) on January 31, about 10.55pm

Rangers signed Cantwell from Norwich And it happened 8 days before the window closed Very odd how some clubs operate

Chaddy bereft and tucking into a large helping of humble pie this evening Lampard was always a poor appointment, a case of the owners appeasing supporters who wanted a "big name" (any big name) Bielsa tipped for the job according to some but although he will make Everton an exciting team to watch I'm not sure in view of his time at Leeds whether he's the man to save them from relegation Their supporters are an arrogant lot as has been noted but you'd rather Everton stayed up than nothing southern clubs such as Bournemouth.

It would be interesting to see season ticket prices and other prices, eg walk-ons, special deals, for Rovers, Burnley, Bolton, Preston, Wigan and Blackpool if anyone has the figures

You'd have more faith in Broughton and his recruitment "process" if he actually got some deals done early In other words, targets identified before the window, negotiations done and dusted, and the signing a formality As it is, as usual we're more than likely be scrambling around in the final days as the clock ticks and a desperate loanee comes in at the 11th hour

Vale should make a career for himself at League 2 level but he's clearly not a Championship player. He just doesn't have enough tools in his box. He's just filling a shirt and needs to be replaced in this window if the club is serious about trying to make the playoffs Same applies to Gallagher,

To state the bleedin' obvious, because they don't have a clue either

The Project achieves a draw - a noteworthy event this season. I also note that Joe Rothwell, a former member of the previous failed Project, started for fourth division Bournemouth today We're nowhere near good enough to sustain a playoff challenge. The team desperately needs some better players

Looked like a training ground goal on the video, slow, almost walking pace Brizzle must be gutted Come on Rovers

Unexpected 1-0 to The Project

You forget how blessed we were. So many top class players. Lovely goals, beautiful to watch. Big crowds, the ground buzzing. Makes you sad and realise how much we've lost
