Carney hasn’t played 5 times in the EFL yet so don’t think he counts as a professional, so we’d just have Bass. No idea if that means we can loan someone in to have 2 “professionals” or if Bass would be to be injured/loaned somewhere to allow it.

If Patterson gets injured and Bass is our only option then Speakmann may harness his inner Michael Caine and invite Alex Bass into the barracks to have his arm broken

Reactions: Hefty fullback
I wasn't that convinced with Bass yesterday, especially when he tried to trap the ball and it went under his foot for a corner!

All 'keepers make mistakes, as do all players, just theirs usually end up as goals that is why they usually get more stick than deserved. A striker missing an open goal is very rarely slated, people just say "he should have scored"

Unfortunately a lot of our fans can’t see fault in local lads playing poor/making mistakes yet are the first to sling ****e when it’s other players. As I said earlier, Patto has made a lot of mistakes this season with quite a few leading to goals but people won’t have a bad word said about him. Then Bass comes in and makes a mistake and he’s the worst goalkeeper in history. The fella hadn’t played a single minute of football this season before yesterday I believe, so he’s obviously not going to be match fit and mistakes are bound to happen. He’s more than good enough as back up. Most championship clubs back up keepers nobody’s even heard of and have been signed for pennies/on a free and have spent most of their careers in L1/L2.

Is that why we had 2 sub goalkeepers on the bench yesterday
 
High chance I’m putting 2 + 2 together and getting 5 but Buckley isn’t in the Blackburn squad today and we were linked with him earlier in the window could he be the centre mid we’re after? Wasn’t hugely impressed with him on Boxing Day but knows Mowbray well
He got sent off against Boro for tossing the ball off someone’s head - violent conduct = 3 match suspension I think .
