My son won't be there you'll be glad to hear. He's a jinx. He gets the very odd game in when he visits. Norwich last home game. Previously Hull City a couple of years ago.....we lost. Before that Doncaster Rovers in the league cup......again we lost. He cannot remember seeing them win at Ewood. Here's hoping for our first home win of the season.

First non-Rovers Championship football I have seen this season. Watched from my sick bed and now feel worse. Couldn't believe how bad it was. Of course both will be inspired playing against us but that was abysmal.

By the sounds of it he left on good terms, and he's obviously a Sheff Utd man, so from his pov he got a nicely paid holiday and likely a decent raise to return. Less pressure on him to get promotion now too, as he's got to try and clear up the mess that's been left behind. Ultimately it's the owners who will have egg on their face no matter what happens.

He was on Radio Lancs and just like Kevin Gallacher has no requirement to call us Blackburn. He always refers to us as Blackburn whatever environment he’s in, if that makes me strangely obsessed, so be it, but I think it matters whatever bluebruce might think

Sensible and Rovers, parted company many years ago.

An ex-workmate of my wife’s has invited us to the restaurant at The Midland Hotel in Manchester for the 12 course taster menu this coming Friday. It’s not really my style, I’m not a big eater these days. I’ll let you know how I go on.

I’m hoping to be there now I’m back in the UK. Maybe with my grandson in tow.

We need to make it fortress Ewood next Saturday, let's follow the Watford result with a home win, and get some momentum going.

Anybody watch the Southampton v Poersmouth derby ? Zzzzzzzzz. Like watching the Bay Horse v the Red Lion.

Last thing I heard he was planning a comeback, now this. The boxing world has lost a real character.

Great performance yesterday particularly the defence but I do feel that we are one body light in the centre. I know Rudy has ruled out another signing but can’t help thinking a change of mind would be sensible.

I can understand your points here I totally agreed with your last point As I said before the owners made a bad decision getting rid of Wilder, no surprise they have panic already and got back to Wilder, more surprised Wilder has even entertain their approach

As long as it is wins he is talking about, I don't care what Dunny calls us.

I listened to the post match hour long show yesterday and I did find it very weird how he always just calls us 'Blackburn' and I really don't like it at all. Maybe he is trying not to sound biased, but that shouldn't be a problem as every pundit on there is picked for their affinity to the local clubs. You would think someone local who played here almost his entire career would know different.

Dunny is a proper Rover. He does some broadcasting work which requires him to refer to us as 'Blackburn' but he's a genuine lad that loves the club.

yes 9, we deserved the win against Birmingham.

I guess David Dunn must not be a proper Rovers fan since he called us 'Blackburn', according to some strangely obsessed people on here.

A good manager plays his best team, not who he is obliged to pick. Sentimentality counts for nowt.

Gestede has come across as unprofessionally and arrogantly? I think we can all see why Ismael wanted to wait so long in the transfer window to sign Morishita. yes some signings have been good so far like Alebiosu, McLoughlin, Miller, while Tavares look good against Hull and yesterday mostly. De Neve and Henriksson haven't look good but if we all remember neither did Tronstad when he first joined us, after a couple of months, settling in, understanding tactical what was needed he is key player for us. on the contract issue, Rovers dealt with them by selling them and getting fees in, which we used to sign other players. Its clear that Rovers have wage budget and have a limit how much we can pay each week so if we can't extend those contract then surely given your previous stance you want us to sell them? or has that change?

Interesting to see the avarage position during yesterdays match. Looks like Morishita drifts central and Ohashi below cantwell. Aldo, tha fullbacks more like wingbacks. Tavares to cover the lower central mid.

They won 2 nil at Millwall before the break so I suspect he felt obliged to keep them the same.

5 games in. I presume you wish relegation upon them and consider it a disgrace?

I think that West Brom appointment was a sentimental and emotional decision from all concerned. Mowbray had just been given the all clear from such a major illness, it never felt right or likely to work out and didnt. He obviously isnt as poor a manager as made out on here. He did a good job here and did a better job at Sunderland. Both clubs werent as equipped to expect to finish in the top 6 like Sheff United are. But I certainly cant see how he would be a standout candidate now, especially considering his recent illness. Wouldnt make sense to me. Wilder is the obvious and most sensible shout but there is a lot of water under the bridge, and you do wonder if that would cause issues. Also, the squad has had a big overhaul since last season.

90+ points, 2 points deducted, play off final, arguably unlucky to lose late on to Sunderland. If that had happened at Ewood the manager would be given years in the job off the back of it. Wilder clearly the best man for that job, the new owners there very foolish but falling for the laptop / football manager spiel like so many others have in 'modern' football apparently needing a 'head coach' and 'structure' and 'alignment' but in doing so have cost untold time and money. No. You need to just support a good manager when he's done well. Bit like us with Eustace.

Mowbray's last gig saw him take a WBA side in contention for playoffs and get sacked three months later with it being all but impossible for them to get into the top six. We repeatedly saw him do this with us as well. He did well during his first season Sunderland but that aside, I don't think he's the man to appoint if you're looking to get into the playoffs, let alone get promoted. On recent evidence Wilder is a smarter choice, especially as he knows the club extremely well. If Sheff Utd's goal was simply to stablise and finish top half/mid table then yes, Mowbray would be an OK appointment.
