No, it's a great example, that was the first thing I thought of when I read your previous post. Sentiment can't stand in the way of progress in football

Szmodics, who would walk into our starting 11, was on the bench for them in their last game. Which shows you what we are up against. I think we'll get beat 0-1, but we'll push them all the way.

Yeah if they have big doubts that the manager is right for where they are now, theres not much point allowing loyalty and perceptions about what they "deserve" to overrule that for a randomly chosen period of time. Its a poor example and there will be more obvious ones, but I remember the outrage when Southampton sacked Nigel Adkins and appointed Pochettino. Adkins had done a good job and didnt "deserve" to be sacked, but the choice was still a good one.

Do you not see with this self imposed wage cap, we'll never progress as a club? Our better players will always leave for more money and it's not to clubs in the Premier League anymore, it's Boro, Derby and Wrexham. This set up will inevitably lead us to another relegation to League One.

I am hoping Hearts can finally do it. 1985 the last time a team that wasn't Celtic or Ranger won it. The old firm have won 85% of all league titles in 135 years. Why anyone watches it I have no idea.... But my cousins are from Edinburgh and big Hearts supporters so got my fingers crossed for them!

Just checked me map, yep, Blackburn is east Lancs, cheers RTID!

Is anyone else having issues with digital tickets this year? I had no issues last year at all but for the Birmingham game my tickets wouldn't download to the Google wallet and having just bought for Ipswich I'm having a similar issue, the club are zero help so I assume it's not a widespread issue but I wondered if it were just me and my slightly knackered phone...

...which was my point

That was more my angle, both teams have invested a lot or money. There isn't good backing without the expectations that they will do something. How long do you leave it? 10/12 games is a quarter of a season, which is a lot of ground to make up if you leave it that long. Wrexham might be looking at establishing themselves in the division this season but I have no doubts the Birmingham owners have an eye on the PL.

If you don't want a response, then don't post.

What a load of bollocks, I can't understand what point you are trying to make

You mentioned bollocks, I was yellow carded for the knobhead word, after some heated words after the Norwich game.

If you got out of the east lancs bubble, you wouldn't be watching Blackburn Rovers.

Aren't Rovers based in east lancs.

Blackburn or Rovers, who cares same team. I say Blackburn sometimes, so I don't get mixed up with other teams called rovers. Get a life, what does it matter.

Talking of superstitions, I've worn the gold away shirt for the opening 2 home matches. It will be staying in the drawer next Saturday.😀

Wow, you been on the bevs? Nothing wrong with the post at all, certainly doesn't warrant a response like this.

Since there is a pattern, and such a strong one at that, do you accept the club has fallen short in sorting out the contracts?

Chaddy I honestly can't believe your view points on contracts. It's utterly naive, I've never heard anything like it.

Ruben Selles at Sheffield United is the first manager to go…nobody (unsurprisingly) guessed that…👀

Three teams in claret and blue to be relegated ?

There is a pattern but also you ignored individual players wishes and can you say any where Rovers fault apart from when contracts talks started?

I agree, yet they are top with 4 wins out of 4, having already beaten Arsenal and Newcastle. If they get into their stride it's going to be another cakewalk for them this season. How did the rest of the division fall so far behind?

I heard Stuart Metcalfe say "Blackburn"...and he was Rovers through and through. I think this is what the yanks would call a nothing burger...

We could always politely as for him back lol
