They should name a Stand after him, for this season.

Another late on brings him to 27 league goals for the season. Ties Daryl Murphy's record from nine years ago as the most goals by an Irish player since the first division became the Championship (the 131 Irish Championship goals this season is the most for 15 years also).

Szmodics pretty much kept Blackburn up by himself and fully deserves the Premier League move that is likely to come his way this summer.

A phenomenal season - pity in a way we missed out on a lot of it given the will he/won't he stuff that inevitably went around. 27 of Blackburn's 60 league goals this season - almost half the tally. They stayed up by three points - had they lost away to the new champions today instead of winning 2-0 they'd have gone down.

Just realising now how big a gap there is between the end of the season and the June friendlies. With the talk of some players not wanting to turn up (don't know whether that has substance or not) you really hope Szmodics will be involved up front and centre in those games. Be great to fully integrate him into the line-up - has to be our best attacking option these days. Someone who can score bucketloads in a crap team has to be a godsend for us!
