Payero appears to have made his mark as a right-sided number 8; i.e. the same position as Crooks. He had a couple of ok games under Warnock, particula...

There's a time to paper over the cracks and time to fix them. Blackburn's season was made by their 7-0 loss to Fulham. Let's hope this loss leads to a...

@pedro We don't play with a No 10 under Wilder and, anyway, Payero isn't a No 10. According to his scouting report he's box-to-box midfielder who pl...
