Championship - 22-23

[Mattyblue]

Why? Because a club probably going into February sitting 4th has already ‘written the season off?’

Talking about whether Sunderland beating Boro has any effect on us is crazy. It has as much effect as Inter Milan beating Verona. 

But it has had an effect on us. And come the end of the season, the less points in it the better.

Tell you what J*B just close the site because talking about Blackburn Rovers as a competitive football club is pretty crazy as is well established now. And you run the place 😉

For some context, Verona are third from bottom and Inter Milan are third from top.

Comparing them to Boro getting beat and so not going above us, is pretty baffling. I get we're shit, we're skint, we'll always be shit and skint, and the fanbase are confused that we're somehow at the top end of the table, but for me having the club in fourth place after a decade of misery is pretty bloody good to me.

Try to handle the shock but Evans is out for the season. Glad he's off our books.

Toure sacked, next game against us!

[JHRover]

So Blackpool and Wigan change managers just before they play us. We've seen this before.

Nevertheless we should be confident at home against them. They are bottom of this rubbish league for a reason.

lmao, hadn't Toure only been there a couple of months? Brutal.

Yes. Nine games. There was a joke circulating that they'd got the wrong Touré when he was appointed. I think they were right.

[DE.]

I mean, 3 draws and 6 defeats isn't a great start, but oof... right at the end of the transfer window, too, so giving the new manager an immediate handicap. 

[chaddyrovers]

I wonder why Wigan picked Toure in the first place. Also maybe they should have stayed with Leam Richardson in the first place

[roversfan99]

They were probably right to sack Richardson but approaching Yaya and then appointing Kolo was bizarre.

Richardson wasn’t great and got fired as he lost too many games, but Toure was even worse. These things can happen.

Now they gone and hired Shaun Maloney who used to played for them and was managing Hibs before he got fired there

Ruptured achilles tendon. Out for "a long, long time" according to TM who is hoping Everton will release Ellis Simms.

Me too, but that’s a really bad one.

I'm pretty sure that is the injury Scott Wharton got at Brentford and was out for around thirteen months.

I remember Neil Webb getting a similar injury and he struggled to regain his previous form.

He doesn't like strikers anyway.

Not before he tried his best to turn him into a winger.
