The police numbers don’t lie, thousands stayed away and to my mind, it has been extremely well observed.

correct

It was Morishtas turn to be absolutely diabolical today

The boycott being "decent enough" for you is no good. No good. If it was to truly work, it had to be "decent enough" to those that will give it traction. The media. The owners (recognising it as a sign). Or whoever else it's supposed to bring attention to. You are already in support of it. So what good is it if it's just good enough for you? It's not swaying anybody's opinion to alter the course of history. Who would be willing to take on the burden of our losses? Even with a bumped number of ST holders (let's say that would happen with new owners), you're still staring annual losses of several million or more a season just by standing still, as well as keeping onside with FFP rules and avoiding points deductions and fines. So who is going to take that on? I keep hearing "Venky's won't sell". I don't know who is close enough to them over in India to know that first-hand, but forget that for a moment... Where is the queue of buyers? I really doubt any business-minded person with "ambitious" intentions would think we're a profit-making project to have at. If the owners weren't paying players and bills, I'd feel differently. Scoff. Call it a low bar. But the ingredients particular to Sheff Wed, for example, aren't there. At least they had absolute full validity and full support to put on a full boycott. Their owners were not keeping to their financial obligations. 15 years on, despite our downfall being of the Venky's own making, they are still, at the very least, standing up to their financial obligations. Nobody can deny that unless they were not paying the bills. There is simply no validity or wider acceptance for a boycott in our case. It was never in a million years going to get external support because the elements are simply not their for wider sympathy, recognition, and so on. You can feel sorry for yourselves about it, but until you have an Oyston or a Chansiri TRULY witholding the dosh from people that are owed it, a boycott that results in a few thousand less than a normal attendance is going to do absolutely nothing.

I hate Venkyclappers more than Burnley. Burnley fans hate Rovers and would love nothing more than for us to lose every single week and fall through the leagues, that feeling goes both ways. Given that, does it strike any of the Venkyclappers as unusual that every single time we've played Burnley in the last 15 years, they've spent half the game chanting about how much they love the Venkys and waving Indian flags at us? "But they're keeping us going, no one else would put the money in, FFP etc. They're doing their best, no one else would buy us, no one else could do better" Yeah that's why Burnley fans wave the Indian flags and chant about them every time we play then.

Haven’t even properly caught up but if anyone is calling that ‘not a bad point’ then they’re an idiot. We simply have to be winning winnable games at home right now - it’s our only hope of getting out of this mess. I have a feeling things will be looking even worse by Monday evening.

Says everything when Foreshaw is significantly better than both Tavare and Henrikson.. significantly better too.

Well, I'm looking at the table and Portsmouth have two games in hand on level points. Norwich could pick up something from their game in hand. We're 2/3 points adrift already. Unfortunately, unless something changes, I think we're down. The vibe around the club is just wrong, gloomy and declinist. It's the culture of the whole organisation. It's not a club battling to survive and pulling together.

These people who boycotted are telling you they will stop going unless something changes. There was a significant amount of ST holders who didn’t attend today If they don’t renew next season, it is very worrying for the club. That is the worry here. Maybe you should do more to listen to those fans. You have far more in common with boycotters than yoy do with the owners. I know whose side I’d rather be seen to be on

Got players back and STILL didnt win.

Where are you getting your numbers from, 25% would be of concern but basis the police number, it is more like 50% ! 6,000 home support against a normal Saturday 1500 kick off core of 12,000.

I would like to thank everyone who chose not to go today as your symbol, that this is bigger than 22 men chasing a piece of leather on the pitch. Id like to personally thank everyone who has supported the coalition and even further given me so much support over the years to try and keep up the good fight against all the adversity that comes with putting your head above the parapet. At 10am yesterday i got the news we all dread, as one of my parents sadly suffered a heart attack and were blue lighted to Blackpool straight into surgery and not in a great way. In a strange way, it galvanised my spirit of why we do what we do. Without my parents. Id not be here. Id not be a rovers fan and certainly not be so invested in trying to protect it. Emotions are running high, always are after a game, and the dust settling will evolve in the coming days. Whats next is the burning question? For me, its take stock, evaluate, listen, and then the picture will become clear

So in a nutshell you think we shouldn't bother either protesting against the owners or asking for a Head Coach of Kean/Coyle levels of incompetence to be sacked?

There's some absolute muppets on the Blackburn fans FB page. One guy seems happy enough with venkys because L1 is full of ex prem sides. Weve no hope with both venkys and fans like that. Im giving up and paying no more attention.

The above tells you all you need to know ! You are FIRED !

Aye, got players back and played better, who'd a thought it ? Badly missing Gudjonson, if only to give Ohashi a break. I'd be desperately trying to get a left winger in though, as well as the other forward he's after.

Why don’t we just sit on social media and do bugger all like you, that’ll show em!

This, like it or not fellow rovers fans we have to be realistic

85% of teams in this league are utter shit - the worst standard of a collection of teams I can ever remember in this division. For us to be the 3rd worst in this league takes some doing, you really have to hand it to them.

Personally I think that's stating the bleeding obvious but it certainly bears repeating.

And during all that time, between you, have come up with this? Well done, you showed them alright 😆 Back to BAU next week once the realisation drops To what achievement, venks won't budge easily

Think this is our best XI at the moment. Should be enough to avoid relegation. Toth Alebiosu O’Riodan Cashin Riboero Trondstad Baradji jorgenson Cantwell Moriah it’s Ohashi Sub Carter and Wharton in at center halfs and Gujohnon for Ohashi when they’re fit and that’s the best XI we could run out with everyone available. Looking at this it’s glaring we need a left wing back and another attacking player

We need to take a gamble and get rid of Ismael - hanging on because of 1 point at home against a poor Watford side is ludicrous. Keeping him for this game was ludicrous. He has been absolutely dire even with the half baked squad we have he isn’t getting enough of a tune out of them Please be gone

Unfortunately I agree. I get no sense whatsoever that he is currently in any danger. Certainly not whilst the window is open.

Didn't seem much, if any different to the last couple of home games.
