Ewood say that! says...

All those signings and 'the pensioner' still starts.he must have some incrimating photos of kean or something.
Let's hope he proves me wrong!
Whats sums up Kean for me is his inability to get the best out of Rochina.Let's hope he gets fired before Rochina gets sold!

Two fullbacks on the bench?? obviously Keanochio would sooner play butt licker Orr than a natural left back. Could have gone with more attacking options by leaving a fullback at home and taking Rochina. Here we go again.
