Brereton saga is hotting up now. Hopefully a bidding war commences.

Do feel he would be foolish to go to Everton though (not financially). I am convinced they're going down this season!

I'm not saying we'll end up with Van Hecke or can afford him. But would make sense to wait on this one as he'll be cheaper at the end of the window.

Yes, Sweet Caroline has been playing at US baseball games for a while, then it ended up over here in Rugby League… then the Euros and, well, now it’s everywhere!

Yeah, it's been the Carolina Panthers song for years!

One things for sure, I liked that Nyambe could fill in at centre back. That was especially useful.

Imagine if Scott Wharton had picked up a knock in training, say yesterday, and we only had Ayala fit to play centre back for a clash with WBA? 

Did you know? 

Always said we needed 2 CBs. I hope the people that said we only needed 1 are comfortable with today’s news

Reside in Ewood and NO problem with water supply this morning.

Water being provided from tankers though? 12k people rocking up at Ewood and that supply will not suffice I don’t think

Is Sepp Van Den Berg the player from Barnsley?

1 - 0 Rovers. Dack on a sub to fire in the winner.

Has anyone reputable other than Nixon said it's actually true?

Are away fans now behind the goal at Blackpool? Last season it was down the side.

Yeah, behind the goal!

No extra time I dont think, straight to penalties if its a draw.

Can confirm this. Was at Barrow v Blackpool last night and it surpised me!

He’s kept clean sheets and had good performances in the Championship for both us and Boro.

He had an unbelievably bad game against Wigan last season - as in, I’d have legitimately done better - but one game defines the rest of his career?

For us, he's had one good performance and all the others have included clangers and abysmal goalkeeping.

Can't speak for his Boro career but he has been woeful for us and that's putting it politely. It's not just one bad game!

Are people forgetting the season before last?

We'll definitely concede if Pears starts in net.

Just bid £3m for JPVH like we supposedly did with Davies and Anel. All they can do is say no but it's worth the phone call / fax (if the machine is working again)

Squad numbers are in, notable absentees: 

Number 5 (CB)

Number 6 (CB)

Number 8 (CM)

Wonder what number our other CM signing is going to be. And our other forward. 

Still need 5 in my opinion!

Sorry if I have missed it or this is the wrong thread.

Have we had any indication as to when the squad numbers and captain will be announced?

 

Now that our window has seemingly kicked in. What's the dream ticket?

Brittain in

Styles, Brannagan, Bowler, Morton ,Szmodics, Berget, Veljko Birmančević all linked so far. 

Lacking on CB links at the moment - who's realistically available currently? See no reason why we shouldn't test Brighton's resolve with a bid for JPVH considering we've apparently bid £3m ish for Davies and Anel.

I think we still need 2 CMs and I wouldn’t imagine we’d pay a fee for both. 
 

Hopefully it’s Morton AND Styles

Thanks for sharing Glen! Very insightful

Poveda - no thanks.

End scene.

“Of course, at the moment we have (players in) that position, if he should come in, then there could be players on loan.”

Does this mean that it will be Brittain and then loans after that? Or is it just maybe slightly imperfect English?

Think he means players in that position going out on loan if he comes in

Szmodics starting for Peterborough tonight.

Yeah, but no Brannagan in the Oxford squad
