On his way to the States apparently. As usual the finances will override the requirements of the team/squad.

The severity of a foul is not supposed to affect the advantage rule, unless there's a head injury.

you the first to moan and complain about wanting to know things then when our head coach was open and honest the Brittain situation which fans welcome and he was back with the squad playing. on the Travis situation, he was asked a question and he gave the honest answer, You need to make your mind up what you want open and honest answers from our head coach or you wanted him to keep things hidden and then you be whinging why you didn't get told the truth. So which one do you want? me and others welcome Ismael being open and honest about the Brittain and Travis situation and telling us supporters what the situation. If you don't want it then maybe ignore the comments and interviews about it

Based on Jackson's ratings today I assume he would have given Shane Duffy versus Cardiff at least a 6 😄 I do actually like Elliot Jackson, I think he's genuine and doing his best, but I don't agree with some of his overly positive ratings and reports over the years, but I appreciate he is in the local paper and so he has to tread carefully for a number of reasons.

On field Balaji BJ.

Dom Hyam v Bristol City, Shane Duffy v Cardiff maybe? Though you could argue they'd be 0/10

I hope nobody wore that disgusting vaping/red devil logo at his memorial and that certain people were not present.

What would a 1 or 2 out of 10 require the players to do?

Our attackers didnt do anything. Your standards are so low. You speak as if we were away to a Premier League team.

Your opinion is usually whatever you heard last from either Jackson, Ismael or an official club statement, so that fact he gave most of the team an 8 out of 10 is probably why you did as well. If those players are getting an 8 I would be terrified of what a 5 or a 4 is, presumably scoring several own goals or shitting themselves on the pitch like Lineker did. You don't seem arsed that we have managed 3 attempts on goal in 2 matches. You're talking about how we nullified Birmingham as if we were playing Liverpool. In the championship you're supposed to try and beat every opponent, especially if you're the home team. You're talking about us like we were a plucky lower league team going away from home against a big club. We should have been creating chances to score goals, we were not doing that, so how can it be a good performance?

But the players you list there, except Cantwell, are defenders. I don't think anyone would suggest it wasn't a good defensive performance (apart from the very, very poor errors in the last 10 mins or so). But in terms of attacking play, chance creation, and goals, we look a very poor team and it was another unimpressive performance, in that regard. That has to be a concern for everyone, as should three goals on target in two games. It isn't just a stat for which no monkeys should be flown. It is a basic, important, and meaningful indicator of where the team's definicies lie. Unfortunately it won't resonate with our owners so I guess it doesn't matter, but any supporter unconcerned about this major flaw in the team must be facing the pitch but not really seeing.

If we’d have won it 1-0 I’d have said foot solid performance the kind which we are going to have to put in as we won’t score a lot of goals. Defensively and shape-wise we were solid. The problem is we got undone due to lack of quality / depth, which is something we are going to have to get used to because some of these lads are going to struggle at this level. As I said earlier, Travis is first choice midfield. If we are to ‘replace him’ as Val said, then it needs to be someone who is also first choice starter. That’s replacing him. Not ending up with another backup squad player.

Agreed once the injuries start to hit in Nov/Dec we really will be screwed, if you take some of the players who are more probable bets for a few weeks of treatment out of contention for the 11, it then is one dross team

You can't if you've got the brain capacity of a rotten apricot. The people who say shit like that are not worth talking to. They're as thick as pig shit and not deserving of anyone's time or attention. Their opinions are worthless.

Exactly this, we are not professional enough. We have not deserved to lose all three games, but we have.

I didn't get one, but a few other fans definitely did - bottom right of the Blackburn End, around row 3. Massive 'Pasha Out'.

1st half, we stopped them playing and creating chances. If you watch them against Ipswich, they had chances after chances. We never let that happened. Until the penalty incident, Birmingham created nothing of noted. Gray, Anderson, Stansfield and Kyogo did nothing all game. Our defending for the penalty incident is very poor and no way should he get in there. Of course that was good performance, well drilled, organised and playing to plan. Birmingham created nothing all game until Laird got the penalty. Even then we were pushing for the winner, Birmingham wasn't until that poor corner and how we defended it. On Cantwell, I thought that was good performance from him. Elliott Jackson and Rovers had his the player of the match and Elliott Jackson gave him a 8. Same as I did on here. Hyam, McLoughlin and Alebiosu were also very good. I couldn't give a flying monkeys what a neutral, stats don't tell you how the game went and what happened during the game. I think anyone who didn't think that was good performance and players playing to plan is bonkers and their seat must not be facing the pitch

Not much to get excited about these days. We might grind out some results but it's not going to be pretty, and all over a side full of average joe's. Poor substitutions.

Yeah I know. It had me confused for about 10 minutes at the start.

This. If we had lost at Albion last week and at home to Birmingham today but we had been regularly testing their keeper, hitting the woodwork, carving out chances, all that good stuff, then you hold your hands up and accept that's football and that anything can happen. The reason we didn't put in those type of performances, rather than what we have actually offered up so far, is why everyone is so pissed off. Our squad is cheap, cheerful, thin, inexperienced at this level and in some parts clearly unhappy at off the pitch issues. Recipe for disaster.

Definitely seems like he’s under orders to not upset anyone at the club in order to retain access.

According to the scoreboard…Wharton started 🤦‍♂️

If anyone watching that today thinks this squad needs only one more addition that shouldn't be involved in football. We are so short it beggars belief.

He showed he is a poor player with no end product, which has been consistent with what he seems to be about tbf.
