Sammies long gone, onwards and upwards, Come on the Rovers.

I genuinely think he believes he's the only Rovers fan to work in the corporate sector and all the lowly blue collar workers should bow to his knowledge. He gets right under my skin but as you say its best not to give him the time of day.

He keeps picking Henrikson, if that doesn’t tell you enough about how clueless this joker is I don’t know what will. Give him a couple more weeks and he will be rivalling Kean and ince’s record. it was a pitiful appointment, he’s a bad manager, always has been. Ah well only 2.5 years left.

Another step towards the drop, shit squad, shit manager, shit management. It’s not a good combo.

I will be attending, the Watford game, Rovers till I die.

There's light at the end of the tunnel my opinion , we were well beaten with high flying Ipswich, but we're not far off the injured returning, and our new strikers debut. I will be attending the Watford game, and hopefully, see Rovers turn the corner.

There are 19 championship Clubs ahead of us in bringing Sammie back

Into must win territory because the Swans are a team we need to be below us after the 46th game. Alebiosu as unused sub for Nigeria last night so he comes straight into the side for me. More controversially I would start Forshaw in place of Baradji and I saw enough of Jorgensen to be starting him too. Pratt for either McLoughlin or Cashin but that won't happen. Definitely keep Atcheson in the side.

Wasn't being tongue in cheek at all...

Head of Football Operations … no prior experience Absolutely destroyed the team & forced a lot of long time staff of the club out the door The sooner we are rid of him and his pal Val the better. Ismael needs sacking today!

Catastrophic Cashin debut. Long felt McLoughlin's level as a Hull reject was a correct assessment of his capabilities. With George Pratt in the side instead of Cashin we are not 2 down inside 10 minutes. Crap selection. The biggest problem is VI is simply not coaching us on how to play when in possession. There is no guile, no movement, no nothing. These players are much weaker than the team which the loons dismantled but they are better than what they are showing. Of course we are ravaged by absences but this is getting dangerously bad.

I love Sammie back and would be pretty confident he could score us the goals to stay up, but this manager would probably play him at left wing back or something stupid like that.

Why was this fool not sacked last night? 1 win in 12.

This is about the time we'll get a result to give a bit of daylight again. Which will then be followed by a fee defeats.

Just watched the highlights. Cashins own goal was appalling, as bad as you'll see at any level. He was very very lucky to not concede a penalty towards the end of the game too. Looked an absolutely nailed on pen that would have had VI scribbling in his notebook if it had gone against us.

Does the cynic in anyone else think this is Glasner angling for an early payout?

Great original post and one I can resonate with. I grew up in a wee place just outside of Glasgow where I just so happened to live next door to the sister of a certain jack walker. When her husband heard I was into football he would give me signed strips and balls, then tickets, then taking me to jacks office, and I loved it being a young boy, especially with the squad featuring a lot of Scot’s at the time and dalgleish being the manager, I loved being the kid at school that didn’t support rangers or Celtic and would proudly say I was a Blackburn fan. Everyone knew me as the Blackburn fan and would then take an interest in their results/signins knowing I would be invested in all things rovers. I would make the trip down to ewood 3/4 times a season and it was always so exciting to go, I would look forward to it for weeks. sadly jack passed and I moved away from my neighbours , learning of their passing in later years but my link to the club was now deep in my blood , I was obsessed with the club, my weekends hinged on our result. Fast forward to now, I have moved even further away from ewood to the north of Scotland due to work. I haven’t been to ewood this season, my visits became less and less frequent to the point I can’t justify it. I now have 2 boys and I can’t bring myself to pass on my club to them. I used to defend the club to the hilt, I now can’t, I am embarrassed to say it’s who I support. I watch less and less football every season and I blame Blackburn for me losing love of the game. Everything is so flat and bleak with the club it’s just tiring. I’m tired. I’m frustrated. I’m apethetic and lost with the club. My only slight consolation is this forum and having those with similar feelings. I hope that one day we can have a revival but I think there is further falling and despair before that can happen. I will always support the club but from afar these days. When the green shoots arrive, I will return

Kim Wilde - You Keep Me Hanging On

How did you view Szmodics today up against his former team. He's a player that appears on his way out here, McKenna gave him 10 minutes towards the end and even scored but is often left out and rarely features now. Your team just didn't test us nowhere near enough today, we didn't even play nowhere near our best but still ran out comfortable winners. Rovers just didn't present enough of a challenge. I hope you can survive and remain at Championship level. League One is tough to get out of once you drop down and you need to do what you can to ensure such a scenario doesn't occur. Can imagine you must be pleased to get these fixtures over with against us this season what with the abandoned game cut short with 10 minutes remaining when you had a lead, the rearranged game where we stole a point right at the end when should have been rightfully beaten and now today. I don't pick the results and outcome of games or dictate what players or indeed referees should do and we've rode our luck at times in the matches involved but today was different where no-one can really dispute a winner. If you want Szmodics back despite scoring the third I'd allow him to return as he just seems surplus to the time ahead at Portman Road. It's a pity for the player and clubs involved as had he stayed up there Rovers could maybe have continued with his services or indeed proficiency that he just hasn't replicated here with us.

Hiring the work experience tea boy to run the entire football side of the club seems like a misstep - but I'm not a billionaire, so maybe I'm wrong.

So I was working all day today and I've just watched the highlights. What in the Shane Duffy was that own goal?! I knew Cashin had scored one, but that was far worse than I expected. Nobody anywhere near him, keeper has the ball covered, lashes at it for no reason giving the keeper no chance, and then, possibly worst of all, casually grabs the ball and heads back towards the centre circle like it wasn't shit. Appalling. I'd say Sammie Szmodics looked more embarassed to score!

Did we ascertain whether Pears is injured, pissed off, or about to be sold.

Well we won't score but if we learn to defend for the first 15 mins we might grind out a 0-0

Wouldn’t give the guy the time of day. Genuinely think his end game could be a job at Rovers 😂 4 businesses all gone under. He was the creator of FC Rovers. Topping it all off, he’s a recruitment consultant. Or as the rest of the professional world knows them - a reptile 🐍

Terribly weak defending YET AGAIN by Hyam's replacement Sean Mcloughlin on the second. How many easy goal contributions against us is that now... ? I'm almost seeing one a game. This guy will be starting at the back for us for years to come. That's how Venky's operate. We should have been spending good cash on a Hyam replacement as you'd expect either before he left or Jan 1. This sale was easily the most detrimental but that was extremely obvious at the time, to anyone interested in Rovers getting results this season.
