That’s 48 points over the course of a season. Would you take that at this point?

More in the old Riverside than on Ewood tonight!?

For older fans Jim Iley is the one he reminds me of - always has done from the moment he walked into the place. The manager absolutely no-one wanted and performing accordingly.

3.5 years....can you fathom it?

Kargbo abysmal. Thanks to big club 100th minute equaliser we are outside the bottom 3 on goal difference over a club that doesn't pay its players. From the Rovers TV angle, both the 87th and 88th minute incidents were clear penalties we weren't given.

Who is the head of making statements at the Rovers ?

I'll rightly blame Valerian too. He's joined the club knowing what would happen. Seemed very happy in the post summer transfer window interview. Fuck him

All of the above.

And I would still swap ownership with them any day of the week.

Lol - think you tuned into the wrong game by mistake. You're in a minority of one.

Happier times, Bobby Mimms in goal

Give it a rest with the decisions / referee - you said the same shite every match thread last season too but we weren’t getting relegated then - do you want to know the answer why, it’s because our manager was far superior and the team hadn’t been shredded to bits by Gestede and Suhail at that point.

Don’t blame Ismael for our current predicament. The owners can hire and fire whoever they want. They’re responsible for everything that happens here, they have total control over anything and everything at Ewood. They've had control now for fifteen years. In those fifteen years, when they took over a mid table Premier League club, how many good decisions have they made? Sacked the manager, got rid of Williams and Finn and also sold an entire PL squad. Since then, well as I asked how many good decisions have they made? When we’ve had a decent manager they’ve forced him out. When we’ve signed a decent player they’ve sold him. They’ve got to go. They can’t turn this around. There’s no sign of them being able to turn anything around. Please sell up.

There will be though, loads of excuses. EFL hates is, bad luck etc. all bollocks, good teams win games, not turn leads into losses. Zero ownership of the issues. I didn’t think it was a pen, he was looking for it too obviously

Struggling defensively , just as well we didn’t sell our best defender with minutes to go in the window….. also, why can we never get back into a game if we go behind, this has been the case for years and years

In the second half, we werent "much better" at all. We was crap all game. Poor manager, poor players, lets blame everyone but ourselves. We deserved to lose because our incompetence saw us concede more than the opposition. Im guessing these are more points we can add to our ficticious league table.

Every comment on that LET article reads like club stooges or Chaddys

Would agree with most but not Gardner Hickman half decent! Think the lad is a quarter Keith Andrews!

Im sure our crap manager will deflect by whinging about the referee off the back of a 4th successive home loss. But we are absolutely dire. A poor manager "aligned" in the recruitment of some absolutely terrible footballers to replace good ones, all with the sole intention of slashing costs. Kargbo is an absolute joke of a footballer. Gudjohnsen was terrible. We had 3 new signings on the bench, they are that bad that only one came on and for 1 minute. Miller is a really poor centre back. Another signing we made is injured long term but we signed him knowingly. You can see why a club promoted from League 1 lent us TGH. Poor manager, poor players in front of a depressingly sparse Ewood crowd.

Can we make it a one way ticket.

You couldn't script it. Rank amateurism and incompetence.

The pot needs to boil over !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We have just 3 players - Toth, Alebiosu and Cantwell and who would bet against Rovers selling these come January!? The rest are either average at best or, in the main, just very poor - IMO, overall p1ss poor recruitment. Saturday against Stoke could be one big embarrassment. There can be no excuses. Cantwell penalty - maybe maybe not. You make your own luck in football.

Glutton for punishment so thoughts on those out there tonight Toth - decent stop first half which you would expect to make but think he’ll be disappointed with the second although maybe unsighted. Don’t see him as an issue. Alebiousou - Man of the Match, must have got 10 crosses in and most of them resulted in danger. Had to do the job of 2 people at times. Mcoughlin - a stupid booking, not much else to note Miller - I quite like him, his throw is an asset but he’s not a centre half and not better than the other right back Ribeiro - really poor today, just looked like a plodder Morishita - did nothing, can’t complain at coming off. Tronstad - thought he was poor tonight, really poor effort from the edge of the box second half Gardner Hickman - half decent Hedges - was Hedges playing? Cantwell - tried to make things happen and nearly did a few times and got his goal. Unlucky not to get a penalty but then lost his head and could have been sent off Andri - I liked the lay off he did in the first half and took up a good position for a cross early on but ultimately had a chance to put us 2-1 up that forwards dream of and he fluffed it and we concede within 30 seconds; that’s awful. Kargbo - a true 0/10 performance, tried an overhead kick and landed on his arse, lost the ball after Andri’s mess up then didn’t try to recover Yuki - came on; wandered offside, repeat De Neve - can’t be blamed decent tracking nothing of note Ismael - awful today, tactics and set up cost us the game, he’s being out thought by managers of Charlton, Swansea and co, at present looking like an Owen Coyle

If you can't be a good manager, you have to be a lucky one. Ismael appears to be neither.

Similar record to Paul Ince… 6 wins, 4 draws and 11 losses in 21 games - 28.6% win rate.
