But we have been told our squad is stronger than last season. 😐🔫

Yes but even before the season panned out as it has, it was clearly obvious it wasn't (I know you are being sarcastic and don't think it is mind!) 

Mind you it could be stronger than it is by playing our left backs,  even as subs. And by playing anyone but Guye up front...

I'll bet the crowd on Saturday will be one of the lowest ever for a game against Sheff Weds.

13,000+ on tonight you know 🤣

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

In isolation 2 points from 2 really difficult games isn’t the end of the world.  It’s the way that we’ve managed to turn 6 point into 2 points that is galling.

[Tomphil2]

Game management.

Who is responsible for that ?

[bazza]

The team played extremely well up to 80 minutes when the idiot in the dugout took off Gudjohnsen (of all people) and started to bring on half a new team. I can't fault the players (not even De Neve and Gueye).

Ismael needs potting now.. NOW....NNNOOOOWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Second sign of madness to do the same thing over and over and expect different results , first is Suggs walking up your driveway

Our squad is filled with players who haven't got much experience with the league. It says it all when Hedges is among our best players. The only sub that made a positive difference today was the skipper. Our squad is so lacking of quality it's unbelievable. The people in charge should hang their heads in shame.

[Elrovers]

Thank the lord Todd cantwell is back. Was quality when he came on. Tronstad hopefully should be back next week. Massive boost there.

Fuckwit!

He’s in the same breath as Ince and Kean. He was a shocking appointment, I said it at the time and plenty of goofballs on here jumped all over me for saying it.  He’s not a good manager, has never been a good manager, will never be a good manager

Golf clap for the tosspots at the club for giving this loser 3.5 years.

Again conceded from the hole De Neve left

But

The goal kick they eventually scored from was clearly another Rovers corner...

Abysmal officiating all evening denied Rovers the comfortable win our superiority deserved.

What we need is Gudjohnson to start scoring doubles.

Wouldn't hurt if he learned to shoot. Noody has a decent shot on them with possible exception of Cantwell.

We’re 8th in the ‘before injury time’ table.

I think we’ve found a new way of avoiding the play offs.

By doing so we’re risking the drop into League One.

The problems really start when the players that are supposed to come on and see games out are now starting matches, and our bench aren't qualified for the job. I'm sure Rovers are working tirelessly on getting rid of Gueye in January to bring a new striker in. We also need a RWB if Alebiosu leaves for AFCON, and definitely a central defender. Wouldn't mind a winger either.

Out of interest as it doesn't say because it was even longer back... when was the last winner we scored in the 90th minute or later?

I believe it’s @Herbie6590 on Twitter that we need to thank for trawling the (not so) recent archives, but it’s 2020 - Adam Armstrong against Rotherham.

Might as well blame Cantwell if you're pointing fingers at de Neve. We invited the pressure and looked nervous but still gutting.

We look like a team capable of staying up, but injuries can continue to pile on and there are suspensions, poor run of form (this isn't it) etc.

Really wanted to beat McKenna and his team tonight!

[47er]

Same old every game. Rarely score more than 1 so every opposition team knows never to give up.

Same subs at same time even though its failed almost every time. Any other manager would have carried on as we were or shored up the defence. Not us.

We should be looking up at a Play-Off position after these last 2 games when we were in control for 99% of the games.

Instead we are looking down. Gut wrenching.

[Armchair supporter supremo]

Jeez Ismael is such a dud of a manager in every way. I'm sure we'll stay up but that's it.

As for this back 3 bollox. It never works for us, stop it. 

[OsloRover]

Horrendous performance from most of the subs again. Gueye’s complete lack of effort in game after game means he should never play for us, ever. Tavares looks nowhere near a professional footballer but at least managed to fall over in a good spot.

De Neve is easier to forgive as he puts in the effort, he’s just not very good.

Baradji is ok, could be decent for us, and good to see Cantwell back obviously.

[...]

Forshaw, standing ovation for many. We know he's not all star, but solid, stuck to task. Fair play. 

[RoversTilliDie]

Blackburn Rovers 1 Ismael 1, we're all over them 1-0 up and the useless wa-ker makes 3 changes. Not forgetting the straight red, last man brings him down, laws of the game red card. Great performance from Rovers, until Ismael threw it away  with 3 changes.

[simongarnerisgod]

a bizarre substitution,bringing sidnei on (he`s as much use as a one armed plasterer)and poor game management has done us again,dafts subs aside i think we really do lack leadership,travis is a big miss in that dept,he never stopped talking and directing

[danger19_80]

Gueye looked like he was trying to make some sort of point when he came on, just jogging about. Infuriating

Baradji should be in the starting 11.
