I thought QPR played far better than PNE did last Friday.

A very beatable team at home, confidence after a good away win and they serve that shite up.

Of those that featured today, how many should be championship players? Not fucking many.

Fucking dross.

Inexplicable isn't it,5k Rovers fans at Preston showed how much they cared...then they put a display on like that as a thanks.Everything pointed to confidence being high tonight but they looked like it was all too much effort.One step forward,two steps back

Fookin beggars belief!

Let's be honest everybody in a position of seniority at Ewood maintains a view that the fans are the bad guys.

The "fans support away from home is amazing" is a dig. The football witnessed at Ewood under this manager has been shambolic and screams of a victim mentality amongst the squad that playing at home is some fearsome tasks.

It is absolute crap.

Perhaps we are a one-man team.........Tronny

Has Ismael blamed the fans yet? They’ve been planting that seed all week.

None of us there to blame. I'd love to know what figure they'll pluck out the air for tonight's attendance. We know the stadium has 31,000 seats. It was barely a quarter full, they'll still announce it as 13000 or something mental.

Weren't even that for the first ten games!

[Hasta]

Ismael’s record at Ewood

P15 W3 D3 L9

Thats why the crowds are even shitter than usual. Doubt i’m bothering for the next two Tuesdays after that.

This excuse of blaming the home crowd/atmosphere for shite displays at home has to stop and needs calling out if Ismael or any of the players allude to it in future.

Couldn't choose a better fixture to get the home form monkey off our back!

The southern softies will be like lambs being led to slaughter.

Pile in on Rovers' win at 5/4 and have yourself a very Merry Christmas!

I’m sure Pasha and Rudy are moving heaven and earth to extend his contract! 

[Cherry Blue]

Dan Barnes in LT giving 6 & 7s for players ratings. Was he there?

 More like 3 & 4s for me. I was there!

Barnes is kissing the Club's arse.

His use of substitutes has fook all to do with the crowd but a lot to do with another defeat.

The quality of players and coaching has fook all to do with the crowd but everything to do with club policy, form and tactics.

19k home fans turned up v Derby....we lost.

[arbitro]

From the excellence of Friday tonight was the polar opposite. It was like the players were still basking in the win and that turning up was enough.

We were slow, ponderous, lacked intensity, such woeful passing and a general lack of intent. QPR were streets ahead of us in almost every area of the pitch and our abysmal home form continues as we went down without so much as a whimper.

It looked to me like Ismael has given up to with his substitutions which actually weakened us (if that was possible) and we lost all semblance of any shape we might have had. Ismael is responsible for results and right now he is being dug out by away results but those victories won't continue for ever and we will have to start getting points at home. It's a real conundrum and one I don't think he has an answer to.

Of course we missed Tronstad tonight but Montgomery and Gardner-Hickman were run ragged and chased shadows for most of the game. I honestly can't recall us winning a second ball all night.

There is no doubt we are going to be in a dog right and could be on course for a record low of home points.

I will cut Pratt a bit of slack tonight but the rest of them (included the manager) have to take a long, hard look at themselves after this woeful effort.

[simongarnerisgod]

no point blaming val or the players,we are were we are because of shit owners and two snake like lackeys who run the place,we all know what will happen in january,thats why thousands of fans have given up attending

Baradji isn’t good enough. Calling it early. 

Should have come on at half. 10 min down a goal isn’t a great introduction 

[yankfan]

Still can’t get over DeNeve. Should never ever play again. If I were playing I would have made him quit and rather played down a man

I can forgive miller for a bad touch, or Foreshaw for being limited. I can never forgive a player for a complete lack of effort. 

[arbitro]

The lack of energy alarmed me tonight. Even Ohashi who normally never stops looked like he couldn't be bothered. Alebiosu is another player who tonight must have recorded his worst stats of the season

To put in a shocker like that tonight and the lack of effort worries me more than any other defeat this season.

Beginning to think Gueye might have won a raffle to become a footballer. The bloke is 6’5 and can’t even make himself a nuisance, he has to be one of the worst CF’s to wear the shirt.

[GHD]

I don’t attend night games at this time of year but watched on Sky. The half time stats showed we won 27 aerial challenges against 70 won by QPR. 

[roverblue]

Abysmal performance like almost all the home games at Ewood under Ismael.

Second to everything, looked unfit and no confidence to play forward or get runs in behind. Players looked disinterested in the last 20mins instead of pushing for a goal.

People moan about the lack of fans and atmosphere at Ewood but for heavens sake give us something to get behind.

[Waggy76]

I think we are not in the relegation zone yet because the Division is full of dross! 

Coventry, Ipswich then possibly  Middlesbrough and Southampton, the rest are crap! 

It must be the worst 2nd Division, I have ever known..

Absolutely massive 5 games in the next 17 days, including 3 games against teams in the bottom 5. Could be season defining.
