Not that worried about another defender if we keep Bidwell. Lati is very capable and Binks can play left sided CD if needed, then Bidwell in emergency. I think we may suffer a bit without an imposing box to box midfielder though. Easy to forget a certain midfielder was good at winning the ball...

Maybe Will Smallbone from Southampton? Speculation linking him with Championship clubs recently...

Good point. High expectations are justified but realism is needed too - once players like Milan know when to bomb forward or concentrate on keeping team shape instead we will do well.

Player of the season - Sheaf Best signing - Milan Disappointing signing - Sakamoto (still think he will be reasonable though) Surprise performer - Binks Top goalscorer - Simms Top assists - Palmer Club final position - 8th (sorry!) Average attendance over the season - 24,716

Not just central striker, has played a lot on the right of a front 3 for Blackburn and can also play on the left.

Me neither TBH, many Rovers fans want him gone (partly because they think they will cash in on a player soon and they don't want to lose Wharton). Though I would be underwhelmed, he does at least have versatility which Robins seems to be after with his signings this summer.

Just a hunch. Definitely not ITK.

Would not be surprised if we tried to sign Sam Gallagher from Blackburn in the next week or so... Reversal of Hyam situation - they seem to have financial issues we could exploit. A player who has not reached his full potential in recent years. I think Rovers would sell for a lot less than...

Have a feeling Sakamoto will be mainly used as an impact sub early in the season. Definitely think he has something to offer and there is no doubting his commitment, just not sure he fits into the team naturally at the moment. I wouldn't start him against Leicester.

Obikwu, Obikwu Do you keep sneezing because of hay fever?

Hope we get a CB next... David Titterton

Living next door to Ellis... ELLIS... WHO THE f%*k IS ELLIS? All joking apart, decent signing.

*awaits thread to be bumped by some negative prat after a couple of successive defeats...*

Christ we've come a long way in 4 years, hearing the SBA sing that loud last night really brings it home... Remember watching us lose 2-0 away at Yeovil 4 years ago (with literally only one person serving alcohol to away fans before the match that hot afternoon), the likes of Stuart Beavon...

Great performance overall. I bet Da Costa's cameo means Robins will be looking for another LB on loan with a bit more urgency now!!

I bet a lot of the SBA are off their faces as well after a day at Blackpool...

Not read whole thread (can't be bothered). Watched YouTube video a week or so ago about Waghorn opening up about mental health / problems with depression (recorded when he was at Derby). I really hope that the small minority of morons in our fanbase don't start to give him dog's abuse at games...

Hamer played better against Forest in final 1/2 hour of game... let's hope that happens again today.

Abysmal performance. Think Steve Kabba was playing for them and we couldn't cope with his pace (Warnock signed him for Sheff Utd shortly after). Anyway, glad Bapaga has gone out on loan to them. Good for all parties - playing for our U23s would have been frustrating for him after being on the...

Good post - only part I disagree with is I think Walker is going to be a real super sub for us this season and will impact games with his clever movement as defenders get tired.
