    Pretty sure he just got the one…

    Yeah, wall was a bit shambolic but you still have to hit the target! Either way, nice to see. Started the season well.

    Futbol24 gives him two anyway. But yeah, BBC gives Edmonson the eighth, and it doesn't seem there's any confusion over it; guy ran through one-on-one to slot home. Strange one!

    Anytime there's confusion, I usually defer to the club's twitter feed

    Highlights of the game here


    <EDIT>

    Just noticed he plays with his socks down around his ankles - Grealish style

    Is Gilsenan injured at the moment or just not rated particularly highly by Blackburn? We've seen Finneran and Bloxham on the Blackburn bench in the last week or two but no sign of Gilsenan. Granted they all play different positions in midfield and Gilsenan is likely being blocked by Moran who is a similar player, but he doesn't seem to be getting into match day squads as much as you'd like to see given he's 20 and someone like Finneran is only 15.

    Wears the socks very low down. Would every ref allow that re; Shin-guards ?

    Had hoped to see him play in Blackburn's league cup game last night, but he's going to be out for a few weeks with an injury

    Still no return date for his injury - https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.u...erm-absentees/
    Zak Gilsenan is another long-term absentee, who suffered a setback on the eve of pre-season after picking up a thigh injury.
    Unlike Leonard, he is not particularly close to making a return and is another player that Rovers will have to be patient with.

    "Zak's still getting rehabbed for his thigh, I believe it is. We haven't seen much of him, unfortunately," Eustace explained.

    "He's another really exciting player and when he's back fit, we're very much looking forward to having him in the group."
    That's two long term injuries he's already had before his career gets going properly, hopefully he makes a full recovery

    Has had to undergo surgery again to correct an issue with his tendon. Is aiming to be back for preseason in the summer, after more than a year out

    You'd have to worry that might be one injury too many for him at that age. Very hard to come back at a high level after missing that much football.

    That's terrible news for the guy, but he has spent the majority of the last two years in the treatment room
    Might make a good short term signing for a league of Ireland club

    Yes, either the League of Ireland or the A League in Australia could be a good move for him. Even when he was fit Blackburn never really seemed to have the faith in him to pick him in games that actually mattered.
