    At least we know he's not going to overthink it when he's through 1v1

    Joint top goal scorers and best GD in league by the way.

    ‘where will the goals come from?’

    Everywhere mate, everywhere.

    ****ing mint. What a player we have on our hands here. Big big money if he moves one. £25 + is the starting point. Absolutely love him and I think he loves us tbh. :emoticon-0109-kiss:

    Gotta say, I'm not sure why you're having a go at Prehab for this haha. He was just answering a question from another poster, plus personally I always appreciate any ITK info about the club. I find it interesting and I think many others do too. It's good to know that Liverpool were seriously intersted in one of our players in summer and we managed to resist them, imo.

    If people start slagging folk for sharing info, they'll just keep their mouths shut in future, and then we all lose out.

    Thanks Monty. I missed it as well. Bloody sky. I’m sure they have a mag working in transmission.

    going back to the 1st half, the commentators on the ifollow were obviously blackburn lads and they both said that was the best performance by far so far this season, i wanted the lads to dig deep and hang on hoping they would tire and they tired earlier than i expected...we grew into the game and we were pretty much on par with the half coming to the close.

    2nd half i expected a 15 minute onslaught on our goal and while they tried they never got anywhere near those first 25 minutes of the 1st, we pretty much simply got better and better, players that did not get much of the ball suddenly found space and passes, most improved ten fold and then there was very little chance of losing the game, blackburn had ran themselves ragged too early and picked up for a wee while when the three subs came on but our lads soon got back into stride.

    another excellent game from clarke, neil is showing confidence and composure some (me included to be honest) thought he was never going to get...but i am giving my MotM to Dan Ballard, think he got every part of his body in the way at some point and i honestly think he saved us from going at least 2 goals down in the early stages which would have made it a completely different game.

    can't really complain about the ref, pritchards card was a soft one on that tackle but he had already made a couple of sly ones so it was pretty much an 'adding up' card...that last challenge on clarke was a disgrace mind although it was more a clumsy/tired tackle he should know better, supporters are second to none mind.

    OK I apologise to @Prehab26 for responding, I apologise to the board for suggesting it was pointless bringing up tonight what happened in the last window.

    I also apologise for slagging the itk posters and will refrain from commenting in future.

    Happy?

    Just enjoy what we have and not worry. It's fantastic watching these boys.. it may come to an end soon but so be it..let's not get our knickers in twist about Dan Neil or anyone else leaving. It's absolutely brilliant that big clubs want our players. It's a compliment. We have players too good for this league. Simple.

    Wires get crossed sometimes, that’s all. Keep posting. 3 points, onwards and upwards.

    Thinking about our strength in depth, if we exclude the eleven who started we could turn out the following team.

    Bishop

    Cirkin
    Alese
    Seelt
    Pembele

    Ekwah
    Evans
    Aouchiche

    Roberts
    Hemir
    Benette

    Subs
    Young

    Triantis
    Common

    Dack
    Rigg
    Taylor

    Rusyn
    Mayenda
    Watson

    Now that is strength in depth

    True, he would replace Evans and Evans would replace Taylor on the bench.
