Can’t seem to find the odds on any website. Has the market closed? Appointment imminent?

Of course it is player availability and it was always going to be the case once we started to get some back. The first 70 minutes or so gave me some hope that with the right system and players we can dig out some results. Scoring goals is certainly a real weakness as many have said and something that a new manager is going to have to address quickly.

assistant coach Mark Sale, along with coaches Craig Short, Lewis Price, and Chris Hackett thats was his management team in Oxford. former Rover Craig Short is still there, but his future remain unsure after the new manager at Oxford came in.

how can you say rightfully so when you see the job he is doing?

Mark who?

I guess Ryan Hardie was another option

Rightfully so.

We need to make an appointment today or tomorrow. Allow him 3 full training sessions with the players and Johnson/the staff. If Rowett is appoint, its likely that Mark will joined him as his number 2

Oh god could you imagine

This is why we should have gone all in on 3-5-2 in January & made it our priority to sign a first choice left wing back, & proper cover for Alebiosu

Which absolute throbber wrote this? A bot or just a run of the mill munter? Talk about not understanding basic facts of life. https://fanbanter.co.uk/fan-issues-open-letter-to-any-candidate-wanting-to-become-new-blackburn-rovers-manager/

We ever so slightly looked the better team until they scored. Still didn’t really look like scoring however. We are in big trouble, but we already knew that. Cashin has been our best player three games in a row, Carter looked good today. Everyone else can be much better.

Someone should have a quiet word and tell him he’ll never make up for the 90s in Blackburn. He’s no Jack Walker, and it wasn’t just the 90s. Could have been 10.

Collectively as an attacking department we are so poor, unimaginative and zero creativity. Cantwell's flicks and passes rarely create anything, Baradji is awful at passing the ball forward to create, Yuki/Morishita are hardworking but again, their shots are poor (that's if they even get a chance to shoot). Jorgensen is beginning to look like an unnecessary signing. Afolayan has something in him, like his first cameo. The new manager has to find a way to make these attacking players play. 27 goals so far is not enough. Last season, the 3 relegation teams scored between 45-51 goals. Personally our defence is 'acceptable' for a lower to mid-table team. But it's our attack that's failing us and will be one of the key reasons for our relegation.

Saw it earlier funnily enough

Can anyone post the interview where the owner talks about ‘Blackburn beating us 90’s’? 😂😂

How Lowe could we go...

The dingle owner has tonight slagged off the fans and the town is in meltdown. The charity shop windows have gone through and pendleside Hospice has been looted again. Every cloud……Watch this space for further updates.

What can a new manager really do with the players we have available? Wharton is out. De Neve, Tavares and Henriksson aren’t up to the required standard and shouldn’t play. O’Riordan has promise, but is not ready yet and shouldn’t play. Ohashi has gone completely off the rails and shouldn’t start. Cantwell while technically our best player is incredibly ineffective and shouldn’t start. Baradji is great in flashes but wildly inconsistent and shouldn’t start. Kargbo injured, when he eventually comes back to full fitness he shouldn’t start. Morishita isn’t bad but too lightweight and shouldn’t start. McLoughlin and TGH can do in a pinch but aren’t good enough as first choice regulars. Ribeiro and Pickering are both decent players but doesn’t fit the system and they can’t both play. That’s 14 players from our 25 not fit to start. 11 left, two of which are goalies (both of whom are decent to be fair). To get the numbers to add up we must change the system to allow our left backs back into the fold. That leaves us with exactly enough (10) of our best outfield players. The result is this: Toth/Pears Miller Carter Cashin Pickering/Ribeiro Alebiosu Tronstad Forshaw Olefyanu Jørgensen Gudjonsson I’m not convinced that team will score many, but at least it looks defensively solid.

Big Sam in his hey day wouldn't keep us up ! The squad is pitiful, physically very weak , most of the players playing at least one Division higher than skill set ! Some are 2 or 3 Divisions higher ! The problem is the owners, allowing total jokers to play real life football manager. Gestede, really needs to go , very quickly, like now ! This was so obviously going to happen, sell your best players and sign players not worthy of the shirt , only ends one way ! RELEGATION

A game of fine margins - but ultimately our toothless attack continues to hold us back. Personally I would drop Cantwell - at the end of the day what is the point of a creative player if he creates very little. Baradji (though I thought he had a poor game today) offers far more athletism in the number 10 role. Then bring in Gardner Hickman or Montgomery to play alongside Tronstad.

It wouldn't surprise me if we went into the Preston game with Johnsen as manager.

“Abandon all hope, ye who enter here”. Once over the entrance to Hell in Dante’s Inferno. Today perfect for the new manager's parking bay at Brockhall. Whoever it is he must be out of his tiny f'ing mind. So a perfect fit with the board.

Market removed again, probably just site maintenance

A big difference to Ipswich and Swansea was player availability. We couldn't muster a shot on target and we pretty much have everyone available. At least in those 2 games, we could think that we need to get players back to improve. Cashin and Tronstad are really standing out at the moment. Sadly neither will be here next season but you wouldn't know.
