And people turned their nose up at Mcburnie. I wonder if people’s opinions have changed now. I actually don’t mind Gallagher, he gets the best out of those around him. Look how many players have scored 20+ for Blackburn since he’s been there. He’s effective that’s for sure but yes you’re complete right re McBurnie I agree but I think mcburnie does that (maybe not to the same level) with the benefit of scoring anywhere from 10-20 a season

Don’t shoot me. Could the plan be to play Junho off a target man as an advanced number 10? Sounds like a shit plan but still I’m just wondering if there’s a plan here I think it’s what we all want. But who we playing on the left? In an ideal world for me it’s Stansfield with ugbo/cannon and apparently Gallagher up front.

You weren't talking about the season. You chose to type "the last few weeks" during which he contributed as much as anyone. May as well just resign him at this rate Honestly. I think he ends up here after the window is closed. I said it months ago and got laughed at.

Gallagher is a player who can bring out the best around him. He's the type, ironically, who I think Tyrese would have enjoyed playing off. I actually wouldn't be against us signing both!
One thing though, especially from Twitter tonight, some fans seem desperate for us, and SJW especially, to fail. It's absurd. I'm not 100% sure why.

There are a lot of emotions flying around as normal, but hoping and wanting us to fail is just a nonsense. Not having a dig at you here but there are a number of our supporter base that take any criticism, cynicism or any negative thought to what's been going on for well over half a decade now as complete outsider thinking and wanting us to fail - and that they should follow their lead of being overly and blindly positive to anything and everything that comes out of the club. To put it bluntly, it's plain childish.

Because we had something good with Dublin, signed 3 of the best players we’ve had down the championship, I know he signed some players not worth the money but if all of them worked out we’d probably have been up there, now Darnbrough is in we’ve reverted back to plodders like Gallagher and it feels like we haven’t got a plan and ambition like we had last summer.

Last year was a strange one though wasn't it? We had a blank canvas, signed 22 players and probably only 3 we really like. The recruitment was, by and large, a disaster and led to us almost going down and our lowest finish for over 20 years.

We're still in wait and see territory, but as soon as anything slightly negative happens then knives come out and everything is crap the club does.

I'll openly admit I'm not a fan of Jon Walters never have been, wish we didn't employ him as our SD, suspicious of the route he might take us but want him to fail what the fuck are you drinking??

If we want a player like Gallagher, why not look abroad? Someone like Lauritsen would be good, there’s a million players out there and we’re targeting a striker who hardly scored last season for a relegation rival

So how many of the failures had JD's fingerprints on them and how many had AN's all over them??

I don't know as I wasn't in the room or part of debates when these players were signed. 3 out of 22 is ultimately a shit hit rate, whichever way you look at it.

We're still in wait and see territory, but as soon as anything slightly negative happens then knives come out and everything is crap the club does. Agree with that and that's understandable is it not to some degree? 7 managers in 6 calendar years not including caretakers. Six heads of recruitment (Carto, Chappell, Cousins, Aldridge, Dublin, Darnbrough) and 2 Technical Directors in 2 seasons since the role was introduced. Three if you count Cousins moving upstairs temporarily. All that against a backdrop of circa 89 incoming transfers since relegation (including loans) at an approximate expenditure of circa 100M (not including loan fees) and a stadium sale to ourselves to prevent a points deduction. All that to achieve 6 bottom half Championship finishes in a row. You'd have to have the patience of a saint to not at least spit out a few feathers now and then - especially when we've just replaced a HOR that showed us a mere glint of what a new age looks like before whisking him off to the sunset. So in short I don't think anyone wants anything at the club to fail - i'd say people are more desperate than ever for it to succeed.

The desperate to succeed side is a good point and something I've not thought of. I feel like it's more people can't wait to criticise the club, but you could be right too. The season hasn't kicked off yet and it's all fun and games already isn't it? 🥴
