Cost us 4 points this week bringing de Neve on instead of Ribeiro.

And 1 point, possibly all 3 vs QPR. Taking Gudjohnsen off for the hopeless Gueye.

Same subs, same outcome. 

Venky’s Out!

Id like a change to this topic, Valerie Ismael, No longer Blackburn Rovers coach. He's cost us more than 4 points at home this season, not one substitution, but three or four at a time.

Has he lost the plot or is it a ploy to get fans on his side? 

 

The comments seem to suggest the fans are on his side...

He's absolutely right about the standard of officials in the Championship. They are beyond poor and last night's referee is one of the worst.  No doubt he'll get in bother for saying it, but it needed saying by a manager.  The officials today seem so robotic in their approach to the game.  

I remember refs in the sixties who were real characters but who would laugh and joke with players during a game and have a real interaction with them.  Yes, you got bad decisions at times but they seemed so much more in tune with the game than today's manufactured refs.
