Plenty of young talent available in the prem teams alone. See below the players who have a good number of years left yet and will improve with experience. Green Carson Robinson Foster Joe Hart Micah Richards Glen Johnson Adrian Pettigrew (Chelsea) Baines Dawson (24) Anton Ferdinand (22) Steven Taylor – Newcastle (21) Ashley Young Bentley Michael Johnson Lennon (20) Walcott Craig Gardner (Villa) Pennant Huddleston (Spurs) Mark Noble?? (West Ham) - 20 Rooney Bent Agbonlahor Ashton Luke Moore Vaughan Derbyshire?

It is time to drop Pedersen/ or maybe even sell him if he doesnt improve. Next game I would give Peter a chance or the young lad Treacy, they cant do anything less than him. His effort is lacking, and his set pieces are now average at best. Not that long ago he could score from corners and 8 out of 10 free kicks would hit the target - not any more! He needs to be left at home training like Benni was.

Yuk!

There is also an article in Star which is basically the same story. Glad he has knuckled down and realised the grass inst always greener. I like how there seems to be belief that we can get 4th spot - Samba, McCarthy and Cruz have all mentioned it!

A good 5 or 6 years from him left then! IF in January Fulham still want to pay £5m for Roberts would you take it? I would!

I also agree 100%, I have full faith in him tonight! I actually can see him taking over from Savage in the next 18 months if we dont sign a replacement. How old is he?

Savage isnt the best, but he's better than some of that tripe they have in that squad.

Agree there, he also responded to the chants for him, which is another thing he wasnt doing previously. Hopefully the lad will nuckle down and get back to his best. If he does, then I can wait!

2 goals for the 'hero' Benni McCarthy!!

Its how he reacts that worries me. He seems like the type of player that could sulk at this sort of treatment. Hopefully not!

Benni will score tonight!

We wont lose Samba as they didnt make it, but we will lose Benni & Axe - this might be a time for Derbs to shine, or maybe by then we will have another striker in, especially if Roberts continues to sulk!?

Difference between Dunn and Duff is that Dunn is a local lad and wants the club to do well, he understands the fans and only local lads and loyal players (tugs, friedel) can understand that. Also noticed we nicked boltons fitness coach!

In the last few games Dunn has been on top form. I loved it yesterday when he was chasing the ball down like Savage does in the 89th minute - that shows just how much his fitness has improved - also I forgot how good he can be on the ball. More good work by Hughes & his team.

Looks good - may be worth the wait then!!

Cant believe Tiger woods 08 is out on all formats this week, but not PS3!!

1 Jack Walker Top man! RIP Big Man! I hope your star is shining down on us this sunday! Do it for Jack!

Anyone seen Kill Zone 2 on PS3? Looks Mint - Cant wait for that! Also saw Metal Gear solid the other day - that looked class too!

The Moderators should create a songs sections on this message boad, which is always pinned to the top of the board - and therefore our club may create new songs. They run down the left The run down the riggggg-hhhht Bentley and Pedersen Make England look sh!te

I think Hughes should be setting the players targets of: 20+ goals from Benni 15 from Santa 15 from Roberts 10 from Derbs 5 from Righters If all that could happen then We would be very happy!!

If roque & roberts hit top form then benni might struggle to get in the team - think about that one! Remember the older Benni is, the less attractive he is to other clubs. Also in 12 months time we may well not want him anyway, as we may have new owners who can back the manager with cash to buy younger firepower!

IF true - then Rovers will monitor, no doubt. In January if still not signed, Maybe Sell, depending on Roberts/ Cruz form etc. If not then maybe sell next summer at £5 million for a player who will be close to 31. At which point Cruz will be our top scorer

"I will never hide from my responsibilities." 20+ goals and the UEFA cup should cover it!

Suprised at the length of the contract, however at least it means that if any club is sniffing around in the future, then they will have to stump up some serious cash.

In my 2nd season at Blackburn now. 1ST season - we finished 11th and won the UEFA cup, even though the squad was ravaged by injury. 2ND season - Made it to the final of UEFA (Inter Milan to play) & FA Cup (West Ham to play) and currently 4th in the league with 2 games left to play. Iv been offered the jobs of Colobia manager & Czech Republic. Top class signings have been Kose (Young Turkish lad), Zapata (Colombian), Van de Borre and Defoe. Next job is to secure Champs league in the last 2 games, then i need to sign some young class for midfield and also goal, aswell as left back.
