Great news, maybe after the international break. Good to see what he's made of.

It’s going too be the same horseshit tactics no matter what age of player

He’s quite right. Our squad at the moment consists of over the hill thirty somethings or kids. We don’t have enough players in that 23-28 age group who are physically at their peaks but also experienced. The problem is good players in that age group cost money, and we can’t spend any, so I don’t see that situation improving until the current youngsters move into that age group themselves in a couple of years.

With FFP restrictions, are we limited in what wages we can offer free agents in the summer?.

Interesting graphic in the Sentinel article - and add Doughty to the 21s too. Powell (and maybe Smith aside), there's a real gap between the oldies and the kiddies - especially with Cousins probably leaving and Fox maybe not being a regular

Joe Rothwell' s been mentioned as a potential peak-age Bosman there'd be lots of Championship interest in - but looks like (as with Nyambe), Blackburn have got the option to extend by a year, which would mean they'd get some kind of fee even if they sold - which'd make him less appealing to a team like us www.lancs.live/sport/football/transfer-news/blackburn-rovers-rothwell-brentford-contract-20138265Mowatt stands out (and he could yet be in the Prem!), but there'll probably be lot of rival interest - and if we're keeping Thompson, Allen and Mikel (and hard to see Clucas going), we are still a bit top-heavy there until the 2022 clearout. A peak-age AND good striker would really cost - so where else in the XI could we add these types? We;ve already got a 27 and 28 yo option at full-back in Smith and Fox

Come on down Kadeem Harris & Ashley Fletcher 👍 I think Wedneday fans would drive Harris to anywhere he wanted to go! Fletcher maybe - but hard to see what we could offer him that Warnock couldn't

Come on down Kadeem Harris & Ashley Fletcher 👍 Ashley Fletcher is bloody awful. I’d rather have Darren Fletcher come back than him. As for that lad from Wednesday...take a look at their forum and see how much they rate him.

I wasn't advocating we sign either, just looking at the freebie list and seeing what are the potential targets in that age bracket.

He unceremoniously dumped a perfectly aged player, who was performing perfectly well, for a couple of glitter boys. He's brought it on himself.

Sorry, who is the player in question? Cousins I presume. Oh. He’s ok I suppose. Certainly there’s been games recently like Norwich, Brentford and Middlesbrough where his energy might have been useful.

"Subs didn't give us anything today, which was poor.
But I'm learning about my team all the time, about the players we inherited, about the players we've brought in on a short and long-term basis, and that's important"
"We know where we want to go, going forward - and we'll have to transition the squad and the team further to get there"

www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p09bn5t445:30 "Second half performance was unacceptable" "We need to show greater hunger and a greater desire to get to the top 6 and push further. Second half showed that - a team that didn't have enough. We have had to transition a squad and we're only partially through that. Too many players without that desire and that's something we need to address between now and the start of next season"
