v Coventry City (a) - 18/10/25

[Hasta]

Over these next two games, I’d be looking at bringing Gueye back in for one. Yes he’s pretty poor and isn’t some saviour or answer, but he does offer something slightly different and Gudjohnsen hasn’t appeared better

Wasn't a mishit, Toth didnt exactly cover himself in glory, the ref's had a good game, their keeper hasnt done anything at all remarkable and it isn't bad luck at all.

They've got quality up front and we have none. That's not  bad luck.

Playing well for periods in games but rarely taking your chances and invariably losing is also the textbook sign of a relegation outfit

Yeah was mishit, you are right on Toth not so the ref.  He had a great game if you are a Coventry fan.  Did not punish simulation, free kick before goal was not.  Coventry constantly holding never punished, tiny Ohashi punished for "flooring" blokes that towered above him and outweighed him considerably yet nothing given when he is sent sprawling and so on and so on ad nauseum.  His whistle blew every.time Coventry fans hit the required decibels.  Another we fouled one of theirs nothing more ref gave foul and was leaving it at that, after the Coventry player worked him he dished a final warning to us. I suppose he did well in that he did not deny us penalty claims, no can't agree with your assessment on the ref.  Course I could just be biased.

Such a shame we played well, such a shame our manager is thick.  What worried me most is we gave up, no heart BigMacs body language clearly showed he would rather be doing something else.  Takes off Ohashi, keep crossing high floaty balls in for our midget forward line and then stops when we bring on someone who has a chance of winning headers.  We deserved more but I think all relegated teams can sing from that hymn sheet.  Wilder will get his Blades firing on Tuesday.  Bottom soon enough.  Disgraceful way to "run" a fiotball club, poor Jack.

Good first half. Didn't sit in and just defend. Created chances. But we didnt take them. That's is the problem again. 

After they 2 goals in 3 minutes. Game was gone. 

Don't get taking Ohashi off yesterday. Or not bring Morishita on

Sheffield United home game is must win now

Take it you’re still not worried about the lack of goals Chaddy, you told us all what a good transfer window we’d had and that Ohashi would easily score 15+ goals.

We did play well in the first half. However, if you play well for 45 mins every week over 46 games, that's half a season of good performances, but if you don't win those matches, you're in trouble. We're in trouble.

It's a pity the opposition play for 90 minutes, and take the points.

Playing well for 45 mins doesn’t mean a thing. There’s only one aim in football and that is to find a way to- any way - to win games. How you win doesnt matter. If you’re winning regularly you’re doing it right.

Honestly, look at that squad of players and tell me “how” they’ll set up to win games. I can’t see it.

Of course it is. That's why we win so many.

It’s not hard Chaddy. I didn’t say I didn’t know how we set up. I said I can’t see how this group of players can be set up to win games regularly.

You tell me?

I’m finding to harder and harder to watch the team with any enthusiasm, knowing what’s going on with the 4 stooges running the club and these corrupt owners.

I did watch on Rovers TV yesterday, but hardly had any passion and very little care, at the end.

The whole thing is an empty vessel.

Obviously don’t know you personally Carl but often read your posts and it is clear that your love of the club and loathing for the stooges and incompetents running our club runs deep. As such, it is so sad to read your latest post but it really hits a chord with me, I am attending out of duty and the enjoyment and enthusiasm has long gone. If me and you are feeling that way, no wonder the supporter base is almost dead and buried, Ewood is empty and the atmosphere morgue like with any home advantage conceded. Imagine being a player in the blue and white and trying to perform in such an atmosphere, I feel sorry for the players but more so for the remaining fan base as our club feels like it is on life support. If it would rid of us the Venkys, I would take relegation in our 150th year, in a heart beat.

The fans who find the status quo acceptable absolutely do deserve this. It's the rest of us who don't.

Rovers fans have been very tame. This mismanagement would not be tolerated by most peer clubs.

Are you deliberately obtuse as part of a bit? If so, I admire your commitment.

I wondered that too.  Thought he was doing well.

Not only that but he was our only outlet. When he went off there was no coherence at all. He's also the only one of our strikers that's scored a goal this season. Gueye and Gudjohnsson could still be playing and they wouldn't have scored.
