No. He said himself he had discussions with them; but that was months before he was appointed by us. Ismael never gets another gig at this level again after us because he isnt good enough.

Few good away performances and results have masked his season so far. Going into December with 4 home points from a possible 24 is completely unacceptable. Get rid.

Using Brandon Powell as back up to Hedges for the LWB role should be considered going forward. Send De Neve to Chorley.

Terrible game yesterday, especially in the first half when our passing seemed to go straight upwards, and we won none of the subsequent duels. I dare to predict that these three matches will determine whether we stay in the division or not:

I'm reading various excuses for that dross last night but it really is down to the players on the pitch. If supporters are using the excuse of Ewood being a ghost town then they are exonerating the players for what I believe is a fundamental aspect of football - effort from the players which was in short supply last night. And if the manager or players use the atmosphere as an excuse they are weaker characters than I thought.

Absolutely spot on.

And Bolton and Potsmouth and Wrexham.....Bury still get same crowds they did in the football league, if not bigger too. Its not the end, its a fresh start. Clubs need to hit rock bottom to bounce back. We'll have nothing but apathy by the time we do due to the slow death we are having

The only positive in the qpr game was Pratt hopefully he continues in defence

Poor showing tonight. BigMac still can't win a free kick, two of em one has his shirt one has his arm and he gets called. What 8 first teamers out? To be expected somewhat.

Preston away, QPR home; the highs and lows of football. It’s a funny old game, except it isn’t when you have to sit through putrid games like last night. QPR were everything we weren’t : well coached, skilful players, playing to a plan: it was obvious they were going to win from the 1st ten minutes. They should have been 2 up at half time. Chair was a delight to watch. Most glaring of all was the sheer lack of ability in that Rovers team. They looked like a bunch of squad players making up the numbers- which is most cases they are. Apart from the young left back, who should have a good career in the lower divisions but isn’t championship quality, not one player had a good game. Made a special effort to get to Ewood last night after a 300 mile round trip of the country. I won’t do that again in a hurry. Awful. And the worst of it, there were some boos but most fans shrugged their shoulders and left. Apathy reigns at a depressing and depressed Ewood

This January will be just like the rest of them Loads of links to decent players spread out there by Nixon and a load of bullshit Twitter accounts with a few ITK crumbs thrown out there as well. It goes on for weeks without any real action then we'll finally sign some nobody who is gash. Possibility that we'll offload one of our best players at the last minute as well.

Football was more exciting back then.

Remember when Jaguar sales dropped by 97% and the blame was put on the consumers…oh wait it was their business decision that drove people away? Blaming your customers for poor perform never works

Missed the game tonight due to work, sounds like a blessing in disguise. That is a truly awful result

I've also seen us fold countless times under the weight of expectation of playing in front of a bigger than normal home crowd over the years. I dont think it should make any difference either way. They shouldn't bottle it in front of a big crowd and they shouldnt be demotivated by playing in front of smaller crowds. At the very least if it does happen, hold your hands up after a poor performance and don't use it as an excuse! We obviously dont agree on this and that's fine. No point going back and forward all night.

No bother then 👍

Not aimed at you.

They're paid to do a job which is made harder 50% of the time. Yes, I expect better of them, but they're also fallible. If you can accept that playing at a packed Hillsborough or Elland Road is a boost, why is the opposite not true?

If you accept the above then Im not really sure what point you're trying to make in the first place. They're paid to do a job. It's irrelevant whether there's 10 people, 1000, 10,000 or 30,000 in the stadium. Or the underlying reason behind it. We all know it's the owners and management's fault but that's a different argument altogether.

If this is aimed at me I'm afraid you've simply not read what I've posted. I've repeatedly said that the responsibility lies with the owners. It's their fault that long term fans no longer go, their fault that those that do go feel apathetic and jaded. It's quite simply true that attendance is awful and the stadium is quiet. You just can't argue with that. My heart goes out to those that go, it's week after week of insult to them. Please, don't misinterpret this as me blaming the fans, but simply stating that this is the result of Venky's continued fuckery.

Pears - should be grateful to be playing at all Alebiosu - played primarily in Scotland (not for Rangers or Celtic) McLoughlin - Started his career at Cork City Pratt - must be pinching himself he’s not still at Victory Park Miller - From a country where it’s not even the most popular form of football, also Hibs Hedges - Flint, Orient, Stevenage, Yeovil… Gardner Hickman - Unwanted by Birmingham Montgomery - See Pratt Morishita - A possible exception Ohashi - Jumped at the chance to play in England having been in Japan all his career Gudjohnsen - he’s not his father If any of the above can’t properly motivate themselves playing at Ewood Park for Blackburn fucking Rovers then they should just give up.

Ah yes, after all this, 15 years....... it was the fans that were the problem. Who'd have thought! Any business that can't get enough customers only needs to look one way and that's inwards. There have been about 10,000 Rovers fans pushed beyond the brink by the owners and their employees past and.... present. As owners it's simple get involved if you're sticking around... write an open letter of intent to the fans, it would take about 10 minutes, publish it even if you don't care all that much - explain you have a target, want to attend the matches and invest some personal wealth into the stadium and training facilities. Then sack all of the staff that haven't had the balls to tell you to do this.

The point in making mate is that it actively has a negative effect, not just no effect. I should also point out that I don't think that's acceptable, and that the team should have more backbone. I agree with you in that the squad is better suited to playing counter attacking football but I do think playing at home is currently a disadvantage.
