Lost me with that clown up front.

VI should try Henriksson Trondstad partnership, Tavares shouldn't be a starter. Ohashi too weak to lead the frontline on his own 3-4-2-1 Wharton Hyam Miller Hedges Henriksson Trondstad Alebiosu Cantwell Ohashi Gueye

Grim.

🙂 I've just spilt my pinot noir.

Pathetic performance today, we didn't keep possession of the ball for 10 seconds for the all game. We've lost to Birmingham and Norwich so far at home, games were you expect to pick up points. We've a lot tougher opposition to play at Ewood, it's going to be a long hard season.

Another player worth mentioning is Ribeiro. I have maintained that Pickering is better, he is a really poor left back. Alebiosu is one glimmer of hope, still raw but I like the look of him. Doesnt appear that Ismael fancies De Neve or Hendriksson.

My worry is that we have played 5 average/poor teams and lost to 4 of them. It is habit forming. I know WBA have had a decent start but they aren't world beaters. Only 3 players started today who were not here last season but we looked very disjointed and there was very little talking or encouragement between the players. More like 11 individuals rather than a team.

1 win in 4, irrespective of any excuses it's just not good enough. We're in serious trouble, relegation battle ahead and we've shipped out all our championship experience.

Apart from Abesiou most of the new lads look crap. McGlloughlin cost us the game with a stupid red, Kargbo and Tavares with two of the worst performances I’ve seen in a long time at Ewood. Even then we still had chances to equalise or take a lead and messed them both up due to our pony attack. Genuinely think we are in massive trouble this season with our recruitment and lady luck deserting us most games. Hedges MotM for me.

It isnt. Very little of the blame goes to him. Mostly on Venkys, a large chunk on Coyle.

Not to worry you all but Gueye has a better return for a worst team in the same league as Gudjohnson - and by some measure

Worries really building about what is to come this season. A very poor start to the season with 4 losses in 5. We rallied a bit in the second half but the first half performance was shocking. Tavares was embarassing. Been told he is an upgrade on Travis already, a laughable suggestion. Kargbo is totally brainless, a very poor player. And Gueye, the less said about him the better. We need a few signings yet, and I am not confident based on what Ismael said. We badly need a midfielder.

Yep. Circa £8.5m from Germany.

Appreciate it’s early days, but not really been impressed with Tavares so far. Whilst I do get the red card changed things a lot, is Henriksson that bad that he couldn’t have replaced Tavares today? Or am I wide of the mark?

He looked okay, did well trapping a long ball and then trying to have a go at the defence, hope he keeps that up. Didn't do much wrong. The play in the middle of the park and the wings wasn't too bad today, it was the completely toothless nature of the final third that made sure we once again really struggled to score. We played much better today than we did against West Brom and Birmingham but quality tells and we still came away with nothing 👎

I'm sure Gudjohnson will improve the team, but he's not exactly prolific in front of goal, is he ?

Bet that atmosphere beats Ibrox hands down...safe journey home. 😉

Well said.

Or shite.

Had very little chance to shine but did have a good touch and cross. shame donkey gueye was on the floor

I've been in the same boat for a while now. We'll never turn our backs on football but it's not the beautiful game it was, in my eyes anyway. I hate the prem I really do, but ultimately that's what we all need to strive for in this league. On today's game,I think the finish by Sergeant just summed it up. Great strike and one our attackers look unlikely to be able to execute! Showed some spirit in that second half but poor finishes, poor passes and poor officiating all contributed to 0 points. Ryo looks decent but I do worry he will have nobody to cross to like when he skipped past his man. A decent striker transforms this team, Norwich were no better but ultimately go home with 3 points....

For anyone that watched the game, how did Morishita do in his limited time on the pitch? Were there at least signs showing why he was (supposedly) our number one target this window?

Not sure Cantwell could play that deep. Asking a lot of him defensively

Don’t think we played well.

It’s not just you. My enthusiasm and excitement for Rovers and football in general, is seriously waning.
