When I first read that my heart sank as I thought it was Bristol Rovers. Delighted it's Blackburn.

Ben Chrisene plays all 96 minutes as Blackburn secure Championship safety yesterday by winning 2-0 away at Championship title winners Leicester. Playing at LWB in a stolid defensive performance. If they had lost Blackburn would have been relegated instead of Birmingham, so the most massive of results.

Lots of good comments on the Blackburn forum 'Chrisene will be a Premiership player in a season or two' 'Chrisene was impressive' 'I'd like Chrisene back on loan next season'

Worth remembering how young he is; was still a teenager at the start of 2024 so this was one hell of a game and responsibility to be involved in.

Chrisene is the ideal example of the apparent lack of use of The Academy this season. If he was still here he would be in the side now as would Stanno and Alfie Pond. Had we been able to add them to Coxy, Jake Richards and Chieck would people be have been complaining about the lack of an Academy presence in the side? If course not. Unfortunately when you producing really good kids consistently as we have over the ten years or so, the Big Boys take note, keep an eye and will come pillaging. All we can hope is that happens losing just one occasionally rather than the three at the same time.

That's the rub though. A few years ago this subject came up and Manc came up with a pithy comment, as usual, "so are we saying that the youngsters we are producing are too good for us and we ought to produce mediocre ones to stop the big clubs taking them cheaply?" Or words to that effect. Also, it's not just the big clubs taking note, it's the young lads agents that are putting their names forward to the big clubs.

That's how it is and how it will always be whether you're talking kids or first team. Every player wants to progress but for us as a club we've got to hope, and it is hope when you're producing the quality we have, that we don't get hit too numerically in one hit. Our other hope is that we can get the numbers together so that we can rise together rather than the players having to look elsewhere to progress. That is our perfect storm.
