Teams like us and Burnley eventually have a season when they get caught out. It was / is just a matter of time before they get relegated. There's little joy in this scenario. Keeping Dyche will then be the issue.

I think Hudds are the team we have to outperform. I think the others might pip us.

Knob End on the way up......

The main issue is how much we get for him when he leaves and how much we can reinvest in the squad.

Where is Ash from?

Well, I can't spot too much change other than I described.

Okay - secret knowledge not for the masses.

It was a genuine question. On field, obviously we have improved beyond recognition. Why, I'm not too sure about, but post the Fulham debacle, no-one can have any complaints. Off the pitch I see the work done with the Asian communities as being ground-breaking. But what else is going on?

Could you explain what your last sentence means. Thanks.

We're all doomed.

Can't help but feel a bit disappointed when promotion is within our grasp, but I guess financial realities also come into play.

Hopefully Dack adds to our forward options too.

Yes, apologies for that one- looked kinda "official". Silly me.

Report on twitter saying Rovers after Armstrong back on loan.

Nervous

He does a decent job.

We are SECOND in the league.

I don't know who Jimmy is, but this really is getting tiresome. Every other post is the man on the hill repeating over and over again the same thing. Dear god. Of COURSE you tell lies to the media and other clubs.

I'm a tolerant man, but these type of comments are both groundless and gratuitous.

I think we have to trust TM's judgement on this. Let's not forget that he's taken JR from obscurity to the chance of playing in the EPL. He knows the player, his motivations and how he conducts himself. No-one here knows very much at all about what's been going on, including some apparently well-placed sources who, understandably, told us there was no way JR would leave. A small number of months ago I would be far less forgiving, but TM has us SECOND in the league with this small group of young players. So, for now, we have to trust TM to get us the best deal. (PS he was right on Downing, Mulgrew and Graham).

Diaz.

I really like Rothwell, at least this season. Mowbray got him to work on his defensive duties and played him 'out of position' in a deep midfield position. Mowbray has turned him into a PL player from a third division player.

Sorry mods. Bad boy.

I'd say, so far, so good.

We should be hard to break down, so fingers crossed we have a goal or two in us.
