v Charlton Athletic (h) - 4/1/26

[Tom]

I don’t care how it materialises, how unlucky we are; how bad the ref is, if we fail to win today VI should be sacked tonight.

Wont happen mind!

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Snowing now a Ewood

[Andy]

Yeah, my earlier weather forecast needs revising.

Its coming down and the floor is covered already.

[davulsukur]

Amongst all the crap this club puts us through, it's pleasing to see Acheson start, even if he gets flogged in the summer.

[Rogerb]

Is the under soil kept on during the game? If so will melt the snow and with our drainage issues see another problem arising

[K-Hod]

Not exactly the kind of line up that screams home win….

Ismael starting Pears again, serves him right if he lose.

Yeah, we're not winning today.

The amount of times we see this on here to then go on and put in an unexpected performance.

I think we'll win because we do when everyone thinks we will get thumped, and it's always the case when the club needs a little pressure lifting on it.

[G Somerset Rover]

I’d say that side struggles for top half in League One. A sign of things to come, folks.

[wilsdenrover]

Pears?

Why?

Why the f*** is Toth on the bench?!!?

Probably, want to sell him this month, so do not want him injured again! 

[Ferrit]

That is a thoroughly depressing line up, this squad has to be one of the worst we've had in 30 odd years.

Manager is up there thats for sure, least said about the clowns in upper management and the owners the better.

Got to love the BBC just openly reaching the point where they have no idea who our players are or what their positions will be.

Currently they have us lining up with Gardner-Hickman at right wing back and Atcheson as a Striker.

Sod it, worth a go I guess.

That hasnt happened often this season though has it?

Two home League wins!

I think the opposite.

As when he first arrived we simply can't win a crunch game under Vi.

[roverandout]

Leaburn will give our defenders a torrid time

Absolutely pointless sacking him Tom, its rinse and repeat if we do.....Takes the heat of the 2 clowns in the stands.

Which billy-big-balls is in a position to do that?...

 

 

 

 

 

 

No-one.

Correct!

[chaddyrovers]

Very light snow here. I mean very light at Ewood Park

Sky the same.

[AspRover]

I mean, is Atcheson a big bugger? Improvised rough and ready Samba style target forward for Cantwell and Ohashi to play off?

I'd buy into it were it not for the fact that we've got one of those already and he hasn't made the squad...

[Gav]

Just called off the Hull v Watford game at 2.35pm - 180 mile trip back home for the Watford fans........

[Angry_Pirate]

Definitely on the precipice of "worst XI" of my lifetime here.

Pears - 😵‍💫

Miller and Pickering - 2x defensive "wingbacks" (it's a back 5!)

McLaughlin, Atcheson and Pratt - 2x kids at CB, plus a journeyman CB (who is having a really poor stretch right now)

Tronstad and Gardner-Hickman - 2x defensive CDMs, 1 excellent, one middling at best.

Cantwell - coming off an abysmal game. Our only creative player out of the XI.

Baradji - still on the fence there. Hopeful, yet to really see anything.

Ohashi - a pair of legs and half a brain.

 

Not using that as a prediction, but 1 goal looks improbable and anything more than that looks almost impossible.

 

Almost turned the car around when I saw that team, I'm still here - maybe for the last time - with 20,000 empties.
