Well if we cannot beat a team who have just come up from division two its going to be a long long hard season and we will be lucky not to go down

Let's play Blackjack with the player ratings, does anyone bust?

We have a team of battlers who put a shift in. But the majority of them have very little ability - because they cost money and our glorious owners are not willing to invest in the squad.

Only saw the second half but that was appalling. We're at a real tipping point, shit squad, no decent attacking options and imo a shit manager as opposed to JDT who turned water into wine when we were here.

Only 4 shots on target. If you don't shoot you don't score but for some reason it happens to us whoever is Coach. God help us!

As much as we look bereft of a plan I don't what anyone is expecting him to do with the garbage he's being given by them upstairs.

Shame. Would have been good for our young keeper with a shootout

Correct, Bradford never looked in trouble. We had a half decent team out...Shocker.

I said before the game we needed to play 1st team and make a statement, instead we played the kids who weren't ready and now we face Brum off back to back dismal losses.

The club is simply not good enough at any level right now. A squad built on a shoe string. Well done to Bradford. Fully deserved the win.

Absolute shit show. Can count on one hand the number of players I wouldn't want to leave.

Pile of crap New signings huge question marks Just what was Ismael doing over summer

And that's 1 Cup out of the way......Why Toth wasn't between the sticks I'll never understand.

We're in for a long hard season... But we have som battlers...

My prediction is this place will be simmering come Saturday evening.

Shite performance against a shite Bradford side who simply wanted it more than us. Saturday could be a nightmare.

Getting it over the bar from where he was was the amazing part.

Once the guy collided into his left leg whilst he was moving, yes.

It really wasn’t

I don't know where to start with this shit show. Rotating so heavily was foolish in the extreme. It was patently obvious Bradford would be right up for this. What the fuck was Montgomery doing starting at RB? Individual performances across the board really, really poor. I could pick out maybe one or two that didn't disgrace themselves but I'd be grasping at straws. This is Bradford, playing in league two last year and don't let the possession stats fool you, we barely laid a glove on them. The good news? Our captain will very likely be sold this week and we get to welcome Big Club and 7000 cocky Brummies to Ewood this weekend. Fuck off.

Pathetic performance for most part, utterly dispiriting for season. Miller and Tavares look good buys but squad is just so barren that I don't think it makes much difference. We will be bottom 3 by Christmas guaranteed

Because it wasn't. Cantwell was looking for it and chucked himself to the ground.

Stonewall penalty for Rovers

We are Blackburn Rovers. We don't get penalties.
