He’s just deleted it...

I’ve watched the U23’s quite a lot as I live near the LFA in Leyland. Vale was a sub v Burnley at Ewood late November - when asked to get ready to come on in the second half by Billy Barr he had a massive sulk on. Billy turned to him and said “And change that f*****g face before you get on the pitch” (I was sat next to the dug out). He did not look interested one bit. I suspect he has an attitude problem. Probably sulking as Brereton and Samuel got the nod before him. When he’s focussed he’s decent. Not the tallest.

Bennett is an absolute liability. He shouldn’t be anywhere near that side. So many times in that first half he could have cost us a goal. It’s laughable how much Mowbray likes him. Johnson, Downing both very much an improvement. Gallagher did a good job out there. Travis was average today I thought but did do well at the weekend. Makes life much more comfortable bringing Graham on off the bench to defend a lead. Still a lot to work on. But 6 points is bloody brilliant from where I thought we would be at 3pm last sat.

No. A query over the timings of the paperwork.

We must be in discussion with some free agents. Have to be!

Maybe he’ll just be in the starting XI on Sat?

You’ve just made me go grab a beer.

Unless it’s Carlos Villanueva I’m not interested.

No. Still on the books. Rovers assisting his rehab - Not in a position to feature. (Sharpe)

I think it could be... Tosin Lenihan Mulgrew Bennett Downing

That’s a rather sweeping generalisation - if you want to start highlighting people as racists.

Bobby Brown, Chubby Brown. Anyone.

Isn’t Chris Samba a free agent now... I’d take anyone to be honest ?. The problems have been obvious for a while now and for TM to not have addressed these adequately is shocking. We cannot go into the season with a back line like the one we have. I am an advocate for TM and I think he has done a wonderful job for our club - But come on now.

Give this guy a deal... quick.

I don’t think cameos are the way forward. But he could get some decent/consistent game time in that side. Unless of course the plan is he will be considered for the first XI sooner than we thought. I did expect to see him on that team sheet last night regardless of the opposition.

No he didn’t. The U23’s were poor last night. Everton were a class above. Could have won by 5 or 6. Makes me wonder how far off Rodwell is if he isn’t getting a game in there.

When are we welcoming them back to Ewood? Will it ever happen...?

West Brom have made another bid for Dack... According to Nixon on Twitter.

LT reporting that Chapman could leave before tomorrow’s 5pm deadline and Pulis says he “has a decision to make”.

Thanks. So 5 in the match day squad.

I’m not 100% sure. Think it’s possible to have more in a match day squad, say 6/7 but only 5 can play.

Allowed as many as you want but can only play 5 at one time.
