After his comments after yesterday's game there is absolutely no way he can continue. The fact that they're looking like offloading Mateta to Juventus as well leaves them in a right mess. Full expect Adam Wharton to move on in the summer as well.

Br fair though, the Club is doing its best got ensure the boycott is a success.

That's a great tale to tell and envious of your closeness though far away! The roots that lead to Blackburn Rovers are far and wide. Built up through 135 of pride

To my knowledge Rovers have only beaten Swansea at their place once in god knows how long - 3 nil away win early in JDT's tenure. It is not a happy hunting ground and I see no reason for that to change on Tuesday. Swansea 2 - 0 Rovers The team I would like to see: Toth Atcheson O'Riordan Pratt Alebiosu Tronstad Baradji Pickering Cantwell Ohashi Jorgensen The team we will likely see is the same one that started on Saturday but with Jorgensen up front alongside Ohashi and Henriksson dropping out.

Bollocks. Not exactly what anyone wanted to hear Dee Cee. Good to see you're on top of things mentally. That's the most important thing.

They say there on a row telling us that the squad they assembled in the summer was better than the squad we had before the summer. I am still waiting on any argument that will convince me that that is even remotely true.

The Stranglers - Hanging Around

Assume RG will be sacked at the end of the season, whether we stay up or not? It's clear that the data driven approach to player recruitment and the appointment of Ismael has been a spectacular disaster. Oh, wait, we're not a normal club are we? He'll probably get promoted to CEO

I might be mistaken, but I think he has a worse record than Kean, doesn’t he? EDIT: Just checked, he actually has a lower win % than either of them.

This would surely be an argument packed full of contradictions… Venkys are the best we can possibly hope for, but due to the current state of the club (after 15 years of their ownership) we couldn’t possibly hope to improve on statistically the worst performing manager the club has ever seen? All those people need to do is ask themselves why they see modern day Rovers as such a poisoned chalice that we couldn’t do better than a manager with a win rate of 28%. Or would they just tell us we’re a league one club in waiting and that’s the natural order of things?

I see Chelsea fans were protesting against their ownership yesterday. Spent £1.3bn and the fans still ain't happy. Some effort that.

I can actually see VI picking the exact same team as yesterday. That being said I fully expect a few 'injuries' to surface. Not actual injuries, just players who completely cannot be fucked playing for this clown any longer so fake something. Always happens with struggling teams. Not hard to imagine the exact same result either, Swansea aren't as good as Ipswich though so I'll go for a 2 nil home win.

The strange thig with Szmodics at Ipswich was last season for me. Why did McKenna play him on the left wing? He still had a record of 1 in 5 in the Premier league playing out of position, If he had been utilised correctly you may have had made more of a fight of staying up. As it was, he was still your second highest's scorer last season despite missing half the season with injury But used properly, you would have got so much more out of him. Obviously this season your entire squad started badly and then he got more injuries. But for me his was criminally misused by Ipswich last season I would have him back here in a heartbeat, but Rovers no longer pay average Championship level wages, let alone anywhere near what Szmodics is currently on, so if he is to depart Ipswich, Rovers will unfortunately not be his destination

Genuinely may as well play with 10 rather than shove Henriksson up top time and time again. It's actually unfair on the player too now because he's just beating the little confidence he must have right out of him, he cannot play there and a blind man could see it. He's still fairly young, he needs time out the first team and coaching properly in his preferred position. One thing that's glaringly obvious is that VI is stubborn, if he thinks he can make something work he will stick to it, even when it's badly failing. Even Mowbray realised the Bradley Johnson false 9 idea was wrong and binned it off. When the chips are down you need a motivational coach, not a stubborn clown. He has to go.

Good for you chief…will you also be at Swansea?

From what I’ve read on this messageboard, he appears both arrogant and incompetent. Makes sense he can identify with the Venkys.

A long day yesterday and not a happy one. Portman Road is never a happy hunting ground but yesterday we shot ourselves in the foot conceding two poor early goals. The Cashin own goal was one of the softest I've seen. I must admit of the three centre-backs, young Atcheson looked by far the better of the three. McLoughlin simply doesn't win enough headers and is easily knocked off the ball. Cashin, who looked decent at Hull last week, was clearly unnerved by the own goal. The spells when we got ourselves back in the game produced very little although I thought the new lad looked decent when he came on. It's now a big week with Swansea and Watford in quick succession. I'm hoping the journey back from Swansea will be a happier one than yesterday - we need at least a point - and hoping to see a home win on Saturday. Four points from these two games would give us something on which to build when players return from injury. As RoverTilliDie said - onwards and upwards (hopefully).

Well this guy certainly sounds like a serious poster and definitely isn't just on the wind up

Sammies long gone, onwards and upwards, Come on the Rovers.

I genuinely think he believes he's the only Rovers fan to work in the corporate sector and all the lowly blue collar workers should bow to his knowledge. He gets right under my skin but as you say its best not to give him the time of day.

He keeps picking Henrikson, if that doesn’t tell you enough about how clueless this joker is I don’t know what will. Give him a couple more weeks and he will be rivalling Kean and ince’s record. it was a pitiful appointment, he’s a bad manager, always has been. Ah well only 2.5 years left.

Another step towards the drop, shit squad, shit manager, shit management. It’s not a good combo.

I will be attending, the Watford game, Rovers till I die.

There's light at the end of the tunnel my opinion , we were well beaten with high flying Ipswich, but we're not far off the injured returning, and our new strikers debut. I will be attending the Watford game, and hopefully, see Rovers turn the corner.

There are 19 championship Clubs ahead of us in bringing Sammie back
