Maybe read the player ratings in the telegraph, looks like he watched the same game as me rather than the one you'd decided before they'd even kicked off.

It's hard enough at the best of times to get decent players here without paying good money, nobody will want to come in Jan given were we are likely to be.

Yeah but most of them are getting Championship mins so their value is increasing ready for the agents to move some on in summer and bring in more lightweight crap. That's the agenda here.

If that is considered a striker playing well then it just shows how low the standard has dropped.

I disagree..a fookin Dustbin in a Blue n White shirt would have more impact.

That fee was 100% made up to make it seem like we were investing above 500k on individual players. He wasn't even a starter at Moreirense. I suspect the only player we paid more than 500k upfront for this summer was Morishita. This is largely a team of 500k players from lesser leagues and unsurprisingly it's incapable of winning any Championship fixtures. If there was anyone in charge they'd have removed Gestede a long time ago and fired Ismael without hesitation after tonight.

Played well Gudjonson tonight, the one highlight.

If his half time team talks and subs are anything to go by he's looking for his relegation release clause !

Sky Sports won't give us much air time, and what little they show will not be against the owners, more likely the fans.

I dont have any, but I am not the one making weird claims specifically focusing on the one job where he actually had a massively successful spell there. How many people do you know that support Barnsley? Is it based on one or two, or loads? Either way, they clearly must be bitter that he left for "not rating him" because he did really well there. He finished 5th in the Championship with Barnsley. If they dont rate him specifically based off only that season then they are the ones who dont know anything about football. Ask fans of any of the clubs aside fron Barnsley and theyll think hes shit because he has done poor jobs everywhere else. I just cant get my head around why you keep going back to the one very good job he has done to try and prove he is a poor manager, when youve got numerous spells at other clubs were he has failed to go at. It would be like saying, Owen Coyle is rubbish, even ask Burnley fans.

When taken last season's results into account as well, his record is crap: 22 matches - 6 wins, 4 draws 12 losses, goal difference: 22-30, total points: 22 Points per game (PPG): 1,00 Win percentage: 27 % Home record (total): 11 matches - 2 wins, 3 draws, 6 losses, goal difference: 14-19, total points: 9 Sidenotes: two of the wins from last season came against teams with nothing to play for at that stage (Sunderland and Watford). It took him five matches last season before first home win came against Millwall. This season, we're still without a win in five. This is definitely relegation-type stats at display here. I feel his game management is really poor as well making some rather strange second-half substitutions and having lost three home games already this season from a winning position. That combined with players coming into the squad lacking in Championship experience and you will probably see the team drop even more points from winning positions as the season carries on. Also, being poor at home is often devastating for teams, especially when you're fighting at the bottom end of the table. Does he deserve to get sacked? Yes Will he get sacked any time soon? No, because he accepted being brought into the club's "mission" of managing a team that's in a "transitional" period and taking a salary to become the club's new PR guy in front of the cameras.

Steve Miller Band - Fly Like An Eagle

Your not alone, I won't be at the Southampton game, they'll be lucky if anybody turns up.

My prediction is they'll get a few in on loan in January and say we backed him. He'll get the boot at the end of the season, and we'll get another uninspiring manager in League One. There'll be some sort of relegation clause in his contract I'm sure where they don't have to pay him up! We all stated when he first arrived how he stood on the sidelines motionless & clueless. He just doesn't know what he's doing and gets flustered making shocking substitutions. For what its worth, I'd just stick with Gudjohnsen up top now. Keep him on the pitch. I do think he just needs that first goal.

I agree entirely, Den. I've been watching them for 75 years. (My dad took me on when I was 7). Worst ever. By the way, my son told me I have been supporting Rovers for half the clubs existence. That shocked me.

Please, ask your Barnsley mates who have any idea about football. Then come back to me please.

Fuck me I thought that was a young Tony Mowbray

They must be 1/10 on to beat us at Ewood, with the shite we've got in the team.

Pulp - Someone Like The Moon

Don't be sheepish. He's a CUNT!!!

"I'm concerned about the results, not about the performance. It was another great performance." Ok. If Ismael starts distorting reality like that traitor Steve Kean this could get ugly. Tonight was an abysmal performance and we are by far the worst team to play at Ewood this season. Sheffield United was total crap, and still miles better.

Fuck India, and fuck the venkys, Rovers are finished.

Coventry Saturday and tonight, both games within our grasp, went to pieces both times when opposition scores, no bottle and very questionable tactics, unfortunately we’re stuck in a downward spiral, just missing out on play offs to desperation before the end of October

Be lucky if any turn up for the Southampton game, to watch this shower of shit. NOT FIT TO WEAR THE ROVERS SHIRT.

What was it, £2m we spent on Taveres and he can't even make the match day squad? In our position that is appalling financial mismanagement. If he's injured then OK, but as of two weeks ago Ismael said it was not injury related.
