Craig Noone - sub, came on
Gary O’Neil - sub, came on

Talking of ex players, anyone know what the story is with Peter Whittingham, he only played 5 times for Blackburn last season, not in the squad today, sad the way his career seems to be going in it's final years, he's good enough to be playing for somebody regularly or have I missed something and he's long term injured?

And Camp soon as well?

Maybe they want to give us our £6m back in return for Madine too!

He's 34 next month and a specialist kind of player now really. A lot of teams want energy and closing down in the middle of the park. While he is a great passer and has a good shot he is a luxury player now for any team.

He’s past it now. Probably retire at the end of the season even his set plays were going down hill when he left us
