Agree with OP. What do people think we need to do in January? Am wondering if we will sign a left winger / left sided attacker as we are potentially formidable down the right already. Obviously Hamer replacement. Maybe a CF with good aerial ability - with Wright and Simms running the...

Good shout about Dujon Sterling BTW. He did come good for us (and young players are entitled to nightmare performances which they learn from e.g. Doyle v Bristol City last year), but he was incredibly poor that day, literally getting the wrong side of the man he was marking constantly and his...

It is frustrating but progress is being made, I reckon. Scoreline wise, we have not been beaten by more than one goal all season i.e. we have been in contention in every game. That said, it was worrying that MR basically admitted we were screwed when Bristol changed formation and brought on...

My eyes hurt!

O'Hare's return will go some way to solve lack of creativity. I think Wright will come good, he's got too many good attributes not to. Eventually I think we will revert to box midfield with Ayari and O'Hare behind him as lone striker.

The only real surprise is that they didn't include Andy Morrell!

Whoever did this is on the wind-up, surely... So much to sneer at - my biggest laughs (apart from no1 player spelt wrong) were Doyle at no.16 (I wouldn't have him in top 100 at all) and the obligatory mention of Carl Baker!

BTW, very pleased we kept Bidwell... and that we did not re-sign Panzo! Nothing to do with Wembley error, just feel Panzo is an excellent athlete, but poor defender. Can be good in the air and can bring the ball out, but poor positional sense - often ball watches - and lacks mental strength...

I agree, but I get the feeling we would have done so if the right ones had become available for us. Less worried about midfield than up front, although we have operated a lot with just one striker recently so we should be fine. Overall, still a decent re-build with potential (ie money left...

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
