Sack him tonight and get Paul Cook in. He would get a tune out of this lot no doubt.

Aside from Berg who barely counts have we ever actually had a foreign manager? It's certainly about time we gave one a go.

Good news. But loaning him back is crazy. We're not Man City, we have limited options and a bad injury history. If the lad is good enough to sign for us then he needs to be in the squad. What if he does his cruciate playing for Crewe in the next few months?

Keep Morsy away from Dack!

Sacking Mowbray only to appoint someone like McCarthy...I'd be livid.

I'd say this is way more akin to Bowyer's reign for those reasons then. Universally appreciated for steadying the ship but, like Mowbray, failed to get us into the top 6 with a capable squad. He had the owner's trust and I remember feeling like he was bulletproof but, in the end, got sacked seemingly out of nowhere.

Bad but worse than Kean and the year or so after him? Or Coyle? I don't think anything is, or will be, worse than those times. Tony is a decent guy but a limited manager who has undoubtedly reached the end of the road.

Kipre on loan is a no brainer if there's cash available. Surely he'd be up for it this time having not had a look in at West Brom.

QPR paid £1m + for arguably the best CB in League One and they're now languishing just above the relegation zone. Not an exact science by any means.

Exactly. Reading and Barnsley showing what a competent CEO can do with a few contacts on the continent and a bit of nous.

Different opinions and all that but I watched them and couldn't believe how anyone wouldn't blame them! Why was Gallagher left to mark Pukki for the first and, whilst the second took a lucky deflection, the whole passage of play in the lead up to it was a shambles starting with Williams' weak attempt at a block on the half way line, Lenhian's weak attempt at a tackle on the edge of the box, Williams' poor clearance etc etc.

I'd persevere with Douglas but he needs to start proving why he's so highly considered by Leeds and Wolves fans. I'm still not over that first goal v Reading to be honest. He's been awful so far, as bad going forward as in defence. Terrible set pieces, lightweight. Start showing us something please Barry.

Well done for deleting that. His post was about as political as it gets. Presume that irony was lost on him.

His distribution was very shaky last night too. Felt like a bit of an off night for him without ever really plumbing the depths of a Walton or a Pears, which is probably a good sign in itself. I'm convinced he's going to be lobbed by someone at some point though.

Think we'll need to bring in some cover at right back. Would appear to be the most pressing issue.

Council leader is "almost certain" the borough will be placed in tier three when national lockdown restrictions end on December 2. https://theshuttle.org.uk/leader-responds-to-governments-winter-covid-plan/ Personally don't think we'll see fans in Ewood for most of the season, certainly not until mass rollout of the vaccines.

Highly likely Blackburn - and probably East Lancashire - will be put back into tier 3 so no fans will be allowed in at Rovers unfortunately. There will be (another) big north south divide here with many southern teams who will be in tier 1 + 2 areas undoubtedly getting an advantage by being able to have some home fans in.

Is Gallagher the only major stick left to beat Mowbray with transfer-wise now?

How big is this guy for us and how much extra must his resale value be already. Absolutely central to how we play and the stability of the defence.

Why is the Greek kid not on the bench?

Anyone take Paul Cook?

Including his name lol

6th place lost 12 games last season and we've already lost three. With the pressure he's piling on himself, feels like shit or bust for TM this season.

Convicted of using horrible homophobic gestures whilst playing for us. No thanks and good riddance.
