exactly its a shoulder charge. Wrexham's player says it wasn't a foul but yet again match officials bottled it again. Same as Whiteman's red card challenge which somehow wasn't given as a red

I enjoyed reading his match summary and his thoughts on the game. His match summary and that of @arbitro are both correct.  

No-one has said that they are pleased with 18th so pleased stop this nonsense, but having such an overhaul of squad was always likely to lead to poorer league position than last season. 

I have said I thought Ismael wanted too defensive too soon and not leaving 2 up front was massive mistake for me. I wouldn't have brought De Neve but I would brought on Ribeiro instead and push Hedges up front with Gueye if Ohashi or Gudjohnsen couldn't have stayed on. 

Also people expected to get beat and well beaten yet Rovers performed very well and actually got a better than most predicted on here,. 

You keep mentioning how the "overhaul" of the squad was likely to lead to a lower finish.

Just to clarify, thats not you hanging on to an idea that we are at the start of some sort of positive project, but because the squad is far worse and contains huge holes in quality and depth?

Did you watch the game or is this based on the opinions of BBC Radio Lancashire commentators?

@Parsonblue What’s your view on the owners and those running Blackburn Rovers? 

Seems to be a question repeatedly ignored for whatever reason.

What's led to the likelihood of a 'poorer league position than last season' is more down to replacing decent players with crap ones, and a decent manager with a crap one.

A good point in isolation and reflecting without the immediate anger of conceding in the 95th minute 

For balance you have to give it to Rudy et al on Andri, he's a real poacher and I believe his goals will keep us in the league

However, having players like De Neve & Gueye to bring on is a reflection on the lack of interest and investment by our wretched owners, they are both appalling footballers 

 

Bit gutted for De Neve as he had a couple of back to back games were he showed a bit of pace and alertness seems to have dissolved somewhat

Exactly---how can getting rid of your best assets and replacing them with mostly inferior ones justify the description of "overhaul"?

Overhaul implies a plan.. This is just wish and hope.

We finished 7th Chaddy! Remember?

We all said this during the summer. And yet you kept predicting a top-6 finish, so you clearly didn't think it was "always likely". You foolishly believed that some of these dire signings from relegated European clubs would improve the squad and hence the finishing position.

But instead of holding your hand up and saying "yeah I was wrong", you are now switching your story.

Decent point on the road in complete isolation, but the big missed chances at 1 nil up and a last gasp goal conceded makes it feel like a bad result.

The problem is with home form so poor, Rovers are relying on away wins to keep their head above water. They need to bag a couple of wins from the 3 upcoming home games. Given 2 of the 3 teams they're playing are currently below Rovers in the table, anything less than 6 points would be hugely poor.
