Kargbo's rapidly turning into a waste of a signing. Anyone else get the impression VI doesn't rate him, same as Gueye?

To be fair to Yuki I felt that he did more as the lone striker than Gudjohnsen on Saturday. He brought it down a few times but the gap between him and the midfield was enormous and he got no help. Not to say he was great, but as far as Rovers players in that game, for me he was one of the least bad. Hopefully the second, because he was one of the only ones trying to put a shift in at the weekend.

Not really because JDT and JE had to operate under very different financial conditions than Mowbray had. Good old Tone might have struggled to keep us on an even keel under the same restrictions.

I fear it's the other way round but I hope you're right.

What's Wharton done to have deserved being dropped? Or are we just managing his minutes?

If we lose tonight should the crowd sing happy birthday to VI ?

Gueye not even on the bench

A relief that Alebiosu starts. Hope we haven't rushed him back, mind. Thank god we've finally given up on the doomed Ohashi lone striker experiment. For now, anyway.

Gudjohnsen starts

Pointless from the owners perspective because they have no ambition, therefore it was a waste of time hiring JDT/Eustace and their staff. Might as well have kept Mowbray as the limit of their ambition is keeping us in the division.

I found it a little concerning that they said they tried to get someone else to cover him on Saturday but the rota was set, they should not be even trying to bow to them. There is no world where the club doesn’t back down if the LT stay firm

I think this does does exactly that. Come Saturday if it’s raining heavy again, and we're 2-0 down to Stoke, if I'm VI I'm telling my centre backs to go find a puddle and make sure a short pass sticks. Even if there's very few puddles and standing water on the pitch, it's mainly playable, I'd be pointing them to the one big one, and saying - 'Go splash around in that!' I.e. Shenanigans. If I know we're going to have to come back another day and start from 2-0 down, I wouldn't bother. What's the point. Might as well carry on and see if we can get the conditions to help us bag a goal and get back into it. I.e. No shenanigans. I actually can't see how coming back another day to play out a match can be used to someone's advantage, either side. Maybe if your team is knackered during gameplay and the rest might help. But the other side is going to be rested too.

Not really because both JDT and JE performed better than Mowbray under reduced circumstances in a shorter space of time.

I thought it was entirely the wrong decision, and Im surprised we havent appealed but you're right, from a purely footballing perspective there's no point whatsoever harking back to it or bemoaning our luck -we just have to get on with it. You're also correct that the over-riding problem is the insufficient drainage and the negligent upkeep of the infrastructure at Ewood in general.

Go Get after it early tonight, weve had 2 setbacks recently time to bounce back. COME ON YOU BLUES 🔵⚪️🔵⚪️

Cool it. You can disagree and have an opinion one way or the other, but you can't be so confident in your own position. They do it in other leagues, and it's a rare enough occurrence that relying on 'precedent' is really solid ground. Just let other people be frustrated by what was an undeniably frustrating sequence of events. Not only that, but regardless of how confident you are in the EFL's correct decision, there's also no denying the fact that Rovers got the short end of the stick in every aspect.

If they normally train later for an evening kick off it's not a problem. If they dont I think it's out of order. His birthday was on Sunday. Can't see what was stopping him getting back in time for training on Monday as usual - if all else failed he earns more than enough to have hired a private jet. Of course if we win tonight it'll be completely forgotten about, if not it's another stick to beat him with.

Waggott was a rubbish CEO if you wanted an ambitious club, but he was absolutely perfect for Venky's. Lunacy to get rid of him from their perspective. Same goes for Mowbray tbh. Perfect manager for their level of ambition, absolutely pointless letting him go when he would have quite happily stayed.

If you think it's acceptable then good for you.

It simply is an issue if - as suggested - staff are unhappy with it. It's not that deep to you.
