We'll see if Ismael is capable of change. Very much doubt it. Certainly makes no meaningful changes during a match.

may i know where is igor tyjon ..... i smell something fishy in freezing out papa guyue...he can't be worse than axel

It's just a plain white shirt with a pointless cross on the front. Need to have more money than sense to buy that.

This.

Just three lads holding placards up,a Ground sat in apathetic silence..WTF IS GOING ON?

🏆 @TronstadSondre was named today's @BCLWEB Player of the Match.#ROVvWXM | #Rovers 🔵⚪️ pic.twitter.com/yGiKVsO0xg — Blackburn Rovers (@Rovers) January 1, 2026 What??? He has been great for us but today clearly wasn't -his body language said it all.

Wish I had a fiver for every time he lost possession today. He should be playing 20 yards further forward. Both wasted and a liability where he plays now.

There's always someone willing to come and work in those conditions unfortunately.

The injuries we keep picking up are 100% linked to fatiguing in the players, they’re being pushed too much especially in a busy festive period. When your muscles aren’t recovering properly you’re prone to injury a lot more. Whilst you can sympathise with VI to an extent due to him having a bunch of duds to pick from, he is clueless at managing game time and his substitutions are often questionable, particularly the timing of them.

Thing is, and I've been guilty of it myself over the years, hastily predicting we will lose the next game after a rotten defeat. Said the same against Preston after the limp display against Derby, and the same against Milwall after that dreadful defeat at Portsmouth. I bet we don't lose against Charlton, not 100% we will win but I dont think we'll lose.

You're an optimist. Charlton drew with Coventry today and I fully expect them to take all the points on Sunday against this ragbag of rubbish.

He wasn’t a player to push us to the levels of the top,6. He’d be a great option at RWB today.But we need to cut wages.

Alan Nixon linking Gueye with a move to Shanghai Shenhua to China We might well do to Ricky, have to see what happens now. His pace would be welcome and given he can played anything in the front line. Him running in behind the opposition defence would be welcome we need creatively in centre midfield aswell.

Bad management. Littherland's a decent player but had little game time until he was thrown into Championship football.

Charlton fans saying he’s been brilliant since he’s been playing recently, sold him and Buckley to buy Sidnei Tavares 🤦‍♂️ quite simply laughable

With the window open, it's the perfect chance for us to sign cheaper alternatives for our better players, but I figured I would try and give an objective assessment of the squad as I did in the summer. GK: Toth, Pears, Michalski Toth is a good no.1 at Championship level, and now for Hungary, was having a decent year before the injury. Pears is Pears, usual horror mistakes but otherwise solid, and proving that the plan to offload him without a replacement in the summer was a bad one, surprise surprise. Michalski talented but not yet ready for Champ, could do with a loan. I would happily swap Pears for a new back-up to Toth, but don't trust Gestede to bring in someone with Champ experience which is what the back-up needs. RB: Alebiosu Best signing by far, now a Nigerian international; shame about leg gash but doesn't sound too serious thankfully. We will no doubt sell him in the summer... Need a back-up desperately; Litherland and Miller aren't wing-backs. CB: McLoughlan, Pratt, Miller, Atcheson, O'Riordan, Litherland, Wharton, Carter Really missing Hyam, absurd decision to sell him. McLoughlan and Miller are meh but not as bad as some think. I think both are back-ups rather than starters in an ideal world. Younger guys have been impressive, especially Pratt. Hopefully O'Riordan can finally break into team. Wharton and Carter injuries hurt. Lower on list given needs elsewhere, I would try to offload Carter and bring in an actual replacement for Hyam in a world where we have competent owners. LB: Hedges, De Neve, Pickering, Ribeiro Two wingers trying to play wing back, and two full-backs with no position in our formation. Hedges has been one of our better players but that means little. I would happily sell all three of the others if we would actually replace them. De Neve in particular has looked utterly unsuited for Championship, no attacking nous and an awful defender; terrible signing. CM: Tronstad, TGH, Baradji, Montgomery, Garrett, Forshaw, Tavares Tronstad looks checked out, TGH is back-up standard, Garrett and Forshaw injured. Montgomery I don't think looks anything special sadly. Tavares I thought looked good his first couple of games, but since then he has completely flopped. Clearly has attitude issues too, at least with how Ismael wants to play, and offers no energy in midfield. Another bad signing. Baradji is interesting, clearly more skillful than the rest but need him to get up to speed of English football rest of season. Need a starter, someone like Travis, oh wait... AM: Cantwell, Morishita, Henriksson, Tyjon Tyjon leaving, Cantwell flatters to deceive, not good enough for his salary but also clearly too good for the rest of our team. Not sure 3-4-1-2 suits him, would be better in a 4-2-3-1 with wingers and runners beside him. Morishita I like, good energy and looks more talented than others, still needs to find best position for us, but a decent signing. Henriksson I was excited for but looks a complete dud, would offload if we can. ST: Ohashi, Gudjohnson, Gueye I like Ohashi a lot, works so hard with no support most games, and lest people forget his finishing is better than many of our recent strikers (remember Bristol goals last season). Clearly suffering from having to play every single game and run after lost causes, could do with a rest every now and then. Gudjohnson second best signing after Alebiosu, great poaching instinct but I would like him to press harder with Ohashi. Gueye clearly going, and we already needed another striker, so two strikers needed in January, especially with Gudjohnson injury. By my reckoning, we made three good signings in summer: Alebiosu, Gidjohnson and Morishita. Baradji looks like he might make it into this category. Miller, McLoughlan, TGH are mediocre, nothing special but back-up standard. De Neve, Tavares, Henriksson are disasters, complete wastes of our limited money. I said in transfer thread we need 6 players and I stand by that: ST, ST, CM, RWB, LWB, CB and if we offload Pears a GK. Gueye, Pickering, De Neve, Henriksson, Tavares I would happily offload, even Ribeiro if we plan to keep the wing-backs. So much work to do, and clowns like Gestede in charge. Relegation here we come...

It might happen but you should never "accept" it.

We should have had deals agreed for today with how threadbare this squad is, classic venkys rovers will wait till the last week to buy unfit and poor footballers.

But cheaper to keep him than to appoint a manager who will not be satisfied with signing your Tavares, De Neves, and Henrikssons.

Ismael reckons the squad is the equal if not better than the one that finished last season If that’s the case, why are we struggling so badly (injuries notwithstanding) and have sunk from near the top of the league when Ismael took over to close to bottom? Could it just be Valeri that you’re not very good?

a woman’s team that is no longer and a player being forced out the door due to attitude - can see him being a handful, but also can imagine excuses being made ready for val and Rudy for getting rid of a striker rather than playing a square peg

What I am so so so very bored of is seeing us pass backwards so often. In th middle of an attacking press and we instantly slow the tempo and look backwards instead of pushing into attacking positions. When we take a rare opportunity to push wide or run at defences Are when we create our best chances. I dont think any other team in the league is as negative as us and it has been the same for years. I honestly cannot see anything positive happening in our future. The team is on a downward spiral. The fan base is abandoning the club and will never recover from a purely demographical standpoint especially with other local teams performing so well. We will 100% be a League 1 team in the next season, and then will live in mid-table infamy for decades. Its happened to other teams, Huddersfield, Blackpool, Cardiff, Wigan, Bolton and we just need to accept it now.

Cheaper to sack him than make the 4 new signings that he apparently wants.

Radio Lancs hahahahaha

That table does not look good folks tonight...everything going against us.
