I can't even suffer a photo of him tbh! Makes me want to vomit.

And Tronstad. Looking forward to absolutely nowt down at Ewood.

The only leaver at Ewood should be connected to a trapdoor with gestede standing over it

And the Club Silverware...

and toth

VI is awful but I can't see any manager getting much out of this squad. A team full of players who can't pass a ball and he's trying to get them to play football.

...Along with Cantwell.

Yes

Tonight's Rovers TV post-match interview with Ismael is horrible. He'll now start to put pressure on the new players. After the Charlton game, it was, according to the same Ismael, the wrong thing to do. Had he had a squad of senior players with championship credentials, they would turn against him now. "Thankfully", those players never received new contract offers/got sold.

Anyone hoping VI gets canned has lost the plot, not going to happen. I’ve actually not felt a manager to be this bullet proof since Kean, to be honest… he seems so deeply engrained with the two in charge, there’s no way they pot him, certainly not this season. Don’t forget, this ownership hasn’t sacked a manager since Coyle. This one feels like a relegation season. Not playing badly enough for the screw to really tighten on an underperforming manager, but not picking up enough points to move away from trouble. Always someone else to blame for results… I worry hugely about the signings we made as replacements for key players. De Neve, Tavares, Hendrickson are edging toward forgotten men. Miller is out of position (and is it only me that thinks his throw ins are super average), jury out on McLoughlin. Alebiosu the standout signing so far. I said after the Charlton game, on paper we have a rancid run of games from now until late November. The Championship can toss up real surprises, and one of the games is the currently lowly Sheff United. But at this stage, my instinct tells me we could be deep in the shit by the time the full time whistle goes at the Preston game. Ismael looked pressured tonight to me. Jumping about blaming the ref (again). I wonder whether he’s starting to realise that the exciting summer might not quite be living up to expectations.

Wonder if the Club will try to ban Leavers from Ewood?

sold in january😰

I’ve seen enough of this lad now to say he is the pick of our summer signings. Replacing Brittain was going to be a tough gig but he has slotted in effortlessly at right back. Looks solid in defence and our best attacker when we have possession. Some great dribbling and crosses tonight. In a sea of summer shit we seem to have at least found one gem.

If anyone from the club is reading and actually gives a toss then restore a glimmer of pride for Saturday and sack the two pricks in charge then get the LT back on side. I can guarantee a better vibe at the ground and you could go even further by telling Ismael to pull his finger out as well.

im`e not so sure,if gestede and pasha are getting pelters they`ll take action

I don’t think they will sack him. Pasha wants costs cut, Rudy and Val are implementing it. They’re all “aligned” as they keep telling us.

Gudjonsson was crap but it was Kargbo's ineptitude that led to the goal. Some real shite signed this Summer.

Gudjohnsen or Ohashi? The rack or the thumbscrews?

This.

Yeah. There were about 7500 there I’d say. It was busier than an early league cup game, but not by much. The 4 season ticket holders who sit behind me were all missing, and I’ve never known all of them miss a league game.

Yes

This is going to be a long season. For a start we have a failed manager who doesn’t appear to be good enough. The first problem is that under Coyle you felt we had players who should be doing better. However this squad is so poor there is no guarantee a new manager would do much better. The second problem is the person who would remove Val is his mate Rudy who comes across as even more arrogant. He is backed by Suhail, who has stuck around through all incarnations of Venkys rovers, so he is not going anywhere. They’ve devised this low budget policy. And Venkys simply don’t care. Our PPG is currently on course to get us to 39 points. You’ve got to be at least looking to get 47+ to have a chance of staying up, and that seems a hell of a long way away.

He will not be sacked. Nearly 3 years on his contract and he wont have a go back like the others have.

The self inflicted managed decline is now clear for all to see. Can't really say anything other than what we are seeing is to be expected, you can't replace all the best players and thousands of mins championship experience overnight with cheap non British imports and expect anything else. As for Ismael he struggled with far better squads than this at WBA and Watford and they were trying for the top spots. He hasn't got the first clue what to do when he's up against it and that is based on more evidence than tonight.

how long will he get,i reckon it will be middle of november before pasha loads the gun,look at our next six games😷😥we could be bottom by then
