No, but if Madden and Grigg are both out we've nobody to play striker. The chances of them both being available for the rest of the season, based on stats, are low.

Grigg played 90% of last season though.

Heaven forbid if Grigg and Madden were out injured I'd be very tempted to play Berry up top in striker role.

Think its nailed on we will want to bring a striker in, think in an ideal world we would have done it in August.

[hilly81]

I'd like to see a Centre back. A Midfielder. A striker. Possibly another Left Back as a minimum. Hopefully we can ship a few out as well.

I think we'll need one or two to go before we see new faces in.

I hope we don't have to resort to paying players off again...

Wouldn?t be surprised if we rekindle our interest in Brown from Derby

[gordon_brittas]

Jones and Haustrip from Altrincham and Gateshead.

Markanday off to Stockport on loan (recalled from here)

For me, we definitely need another centre back with EFL experience. Cook obviously doesn?t fancy Williams or Grimes and is only playing them because he?s been forced too with injuries. Dunkley clearly has injury issues, Araujo for all his talent is inexperienced and Cook doesn?t trust him fully in certain physical games. The fact Naylor?s had to play there virtually all season says it all really.

I also have doubts about Tanton?s robustness and whether he?s physically up to the men?s game. He?s a brilliant player, but gets injured every 3/4 games and leaves us with an RB issue. Sheckleford unproven at this level & just coming back from injury, and Daley-Campbell seems to have his injury issues too.

So yeah I?d be happy with a CB and an RB, but wouldn?t be against a midfield addition to bolster us in there too.

Strikers a tough one because anyone decent at this stage of the season isn?t going to come cheap. You?d like to think in Grigg, Madden & Drummond (now he?s been recalled) we?ve got enough cover there, but if we can get someone in who?s a different type like a target man for example then I wouldn?t be against it, but the price would have to be right.

Any strikers on loan at NL level doing well, who we can nick?

Pondered the same as the talk seemed to be he was the one coming in August but fell through because Derby couldnt get someone in. He has featured a fair bit for Derby this season so suspect again it would need them to bring someone in before he would be allowed out.

Some talk that they are losing Louie Barry who is being recalled to go on loan higher up so they will want a replacement but not sure it will be Markanday.

But that won't solve Blackburn's problem, which is that they have to play him to ascertain whether he's worth further major investment, that is, a rumoured further payment to Tottingham, and a contract extension.

[frearsghost]

Good to see Cook and Kirk having a confab in the centre circle after the game at Exeter, well away from prying eyes. Suggests the injury crisis is being address and maybe some money will made available. With us being so close to the top three  promotion spots it's important to keep up the momentum.

Unless they have made up their mind about him. If they want to extend his contract the a loan move to a higher division could benefit them. If they have decided to release him then he could be recalled for a permanent move. On the other hand it could be all speculation and Blackburn just want keep their options open and he'll end up staying here.

We don't need anymore players we just need a few key injured players back

Correct.

Could do with getting Palmer, Williams and a couple more of the books to free up wages for a player (s) that?s part of a future squad to build on IMO.

[hardgums]

Back in for Kabamba, perhaps with Hobson and a bit of cash going Barnet's way.

[Nitrous Oxide]

Do we think Dunkley will make a full recovery or one for replacement? He's definitely not going to be looking forwards to that first headed clearance.
