The Arrows - I love rock and roll.

The referee for the abandoned match was Stephen Martin. For Tuesday's match he is the fourth official as he was for Ipswich's match on Friday night. Given Ismael said he wasn't consulted about the abandonment but the official line was that he was it seems daft to me to have Martin stood in the technical area for nigh on two hours. Poor appointing in my view.

Hopefully football serves justice.

Decent point on the road in complete isolation, but the big missed chances at 1 nil up and a last gasp goal conceded makes it feel like a bad result. The problem is with home form so poor, Rovers are relying on away wins to keep their head above water. They need to bag a couple of wins from the 3 upcoming home games. Given 2 of the 3 teams they're playing are currently below Rovers in the table, anything less than 6 points would be hugely poor.

We all said this during the summer. And yet you kept predicting a top-6 finish, so you clearly didn't think it was "always likely". You foolishly believed that some of these dire signings from relegated European clubs would improve the squad and hence the finishing position. But instead of holding your hand up and saying "yeah I was wrong", you are now switching your story.

Exactly---how can getting rid of your best assets and replacing them with mostly inferior ones justify the description of "overhaul"? Overhaul implies a plan.. This is just wish and hope. We finished 7th Chaddy! Remember?

Do we have any good guys 🤷‍♂️

Bit gutted for De Neve as he had a couple of back to back games were he showed a bit of pace and alertness seems to have dissolved somewhat

We're 18th in the league and playing shite football at home. They can put on as many 'gimmicks' as they want,it wont attract the floating supporter.Winning games consistently and pushing at the top will...always been the same.

What's led to the likelihood of a 'poorer league position than last season' is more down to replacing decent players with crap ones, and a decent manager with a crap one.

Great to be the manager at Chadster FC, never get the sack… hang on a minute, sounds familiar.

Obviously you wouldn’t pick this game to start with, Millwall pre Christmas would be the obvious one (if not Wrexham, but no chance of that as they are under the illusion there will be 7,000 in the DEnd to fleece).

2 steps backwards and 3 steps forward, thats a bit of an adaptation.

Season tickets to bring a mate for a tenner is never a deal that is particularly successful. Cut the strings and at least just make it a tenner, full stop. No hoops to jump through.

Seems to be a question repeatedly ignored for whatever reason.

You keep mentioning how the "overhaul" of the squad was likely to lead to a lower finish. Just to clarify, thats not you hanging on to an idea that we are at the start of some sort of positive project, but because the squad is far worse and contains huge holes in quality and depth? Did you watch the game or is this based on the opinions of BBC Radio Lancashire commentators?

They are trying to head off a turnout of about 6k i don't reckon there's much else behind it other than as pointed out above an opportunity to spin ST benefits.

How does that benefit the ST Holder particularly?

I imagine it’s so it can be sold as a benefit to season ticket holders to try & prevent accusations of undermining the value of buying a season ticket.

In the end the good guy ‘won’ by killing them both…

@Parsonblue What’s your view on the owners and those running Blackburn Rovers?

Sat back but looked comfortable in doing so but for the free kick. It was a strange moment and a feeling of "they're gonna score now" and there we have it. Was it a free kick... one that probably not been given had it been mid game but as it was the end , controversial decisions are made and that was one. Personally I thought the wrexham lad got out muscled, on another angle Hedges perhaps should of laid off a little given the stage of the game.

From memory I did it for my cousin the other season, may do it again (doubt he’ll be interested this season though). End of the day why pick a midweek in December when obviously it’s very difficult to attract a floating fan, why should the stipulation/onus be on being asked by/asking a ST Holder? We’ve 20,000 empty seats. Pointless hoops.

The coaching staff can only do so much. Once the players cross over the white line there’s not much you can do. Do you think Big Sam had coached Matt Derbyshire to pass the ball back into midfield instead of taking it into the corner flag in the famous game against City ? Tired players sometimes make bad decisions. Hedges doesn’t always play 90 minutes for a reason
