Question 2 is very eloquently put and hits the nail on the head. But never going to get asked. Do people think they just randomly let people put their questions? and even if they fucked up and he was called, he'd get about half way through his first sentence and it would be time to move on from that. I just said it was a good question mate. Calm down 😂 |

To early to say we’ll only really be able to judge
- Sept 1st
- End of the season
I like SJW as a person. He comes across well but I thought we’d cracked it at the start of last season and I got it badly wrong so I don’t want to judge too early.

Yeah, I was quietly confident going in to last season so wont be counting any chickens regardless of what happens between now and 31/8 Its the hope that does you with Stoke! |

Yeah I’ve never liked AN but once he was here tried to give him a fair hearing. That short purple patch the previous season where I thought we were playing the best football in the league for a while had me all optimistic but he reverted to type particularly under a bit of pressure and produced scared football once that happened I was done with him. I’m so glad the risk adverse percentage football we played for a period wasn’t something Schu wanted to do or bought into. |

Ask again at the end of the season What is it that you don’t understand the words SO FAR ? There is further evidence to add that I’ve already suggested . Any coincidence that we are being heavily linked to Cannon and Souttar loans ? Certain best mate of Walters being Robert Huth in charge of Leicester loans ? I’m not saying this should not be a legitimate channel but it does worry me that Walters delegation skills are lacking ? What don’t you understand about ‘Ask again at the end of the season’ Chill dude. I think it’s better to review based on the evidence of a full pre season and full season. Not exactly a far out concept is it? |

So what do we all think now ? Gallagher reeks of Sidibe to me . Walters trying to create a team from his past . So Blackburn find a man mountain and we finance it by buying their deadwood . Where was the we will buy no one over 24 (? ) and they will have sell on value ? To me ousting Jared gets more questionable day by day .

Where does a ball playing CB and attacking LB fit into it exactly but there are people who welcome Walters appointment and those who are sceptical and have healthy suspicion of the direction he could take us. You'll just have to accept that that old regime wasn't universally popular for anything more than fleeting moments ie FA cup semi final. |

Let me put it this way. We had it from the mouths of the hierarchy that we would not be buying players approaching 30 with no sell on value . Roll forward a few months and we return to the failed policy of the last six years .So I foresee a British recruitment policy which is what Coates and Coates junior have done for years . It just seems we find Junho Burger Manhoef Bocat under a model akin to Brentford and Brighton but then ditch it . The old regime of AN and Martin did at least give us a recruitment gain . Not all roses obviously but that seemed to be yielding results . The sell on value increased enormously.

What a strange analogy. Not exactly relatable to a project like building a football team. I’d put it back to you… A scout sees a player one time, why bother seeing them again, just employ them right? Obviously you can generate opinions, we do that within seconds of meeting someone. Doesn’t mean you can’t wait a while to check she doesn’t boil your rabbit or shit in your bed after 3 months! |

Gallagher flies in the face of their stated intention of not buying aged players with no sell on value . Gibson too . Bocat is from January /Jared so the evidence SO FAR ( which is the point of the thread ) suggests a return to buy British ‘good eggs’.

You forget that a lot of our fanbase will absolutley love it. tbf If Walters shagged their Wife, slapped their Mum and murdered their Granny they'd still love it. Or they recognise by watching game after we have lacked a hold up player to get us up the pitch for years and presence at the top of the pitch . My Mrs would love to shag him but I’m happy with Gallagher for purely football reasons it’s recruiting to a plan which addresses obvious need as do the keeper and Bocat . Lots still to come . |

Got the job on a temporary basis, permanently appointed with probably nobody else in the frame whatsoever.
JC has made a pigs ear of his previous appointments and I see nothing in JW that excites me, we’ll see players of his mould, little if any skill, flair but will run and try arrrd
Sound familiar???

I think this post was addressed to someone moaning about Gallagher, not me your honour. I wasn’t even moaning about Walters though I’ll admit I’m not keen. |

Gallagher stats on his thread suggest he’s injury prone . He’s 29 in September. Length of contract should be 2 years max but it won’t be . Then we had fishlovesostcakes stating we had some exciting arrivals which sort of fuelled our excitement. Only to be associated now with run of the mill British dna

That’s the Wharton who now played for England . Ok ? |

That really doesn’t make much sense. For one Blackburn haven’t always scored a lot of goals. They did better last season but their first season under JDT was very poor. They always scored quite a few under Mowbray and that was the period most of the stats being bandied around come from re 20+ goal a season forwards. How old is Wharton? How long had he been a regular? Mowbray teams tend to have strikers scoring a lot of goals particularly at championship level ie WBA. |

Hmmm not so . Birmingham Sunderland Coventry all struggled to score goals . The last two years stars at Blackburn were Wharton years . He was the main reason they scored goals .

Yet again and for the last time the season before last their goal return was awful. Last season he was only there for part of it. Mowbray got Sunderland to the play offs and Ross Stewart scoring at a rate that would have delivered 20+ in a season if it wasn’t for getting injured. He got numerous Blackburn forwards to score around 20 in consecutive seasons. WBA. Birmingham for 5 mins. Coventry don’t know can’t be arsed to look. |
