TGH is never a right back. 

He's nothing at this level.

Leave if out Rev. This team is going down and feelings are raw.. 

Tronstad is the Gerson class compared to the rest of our midfield.  He's a solid Championship footballer, surrounded by 8 or 9 who aren't. You had it in for Danny Graham too, and who wouldn't want a similar player now?

 

 

Rev's frequency of posts and ability not to read the room is positioning as the anti-Chaddy.  Quite an achievement.  VI must consider his position.

Our new Man up top looks very lightweight tbh.

 

Apparently he's 6'1'' and 11 stone. A lightweight who will be blown away in this league. Has to play wide because nothing will stick if he plays central.

I didnt especially rate Graham but he'd be a huge improvement to this starting X1.

Tronstad I could still take or leave, even in this line up.

Graham was fantastic for us.

[OsloRover]

Wrexham equalizer against Norwich, all teams below us drawing at the moment.

If that was given against us we'd have been whinging all day long. Because Ohashi is such a poor player he took the easy way out and went down at the slightest touch 

He went down hoping for the foul. Does it far too often.

To be fair we could afford a similar player now 

[miqaayil]

if VI is not sacked after that shit show ...we going down ....

 

after 2-0 i was hoping for 5 or 6....hoping at least that humiliation will wake some idiots still believing in these owners and pasha....

Watching Liverpool for some relief.  None yet.

Should be 2nd red of game now

 

This ref is a clown

Like so many refs at this level he bottled all the bid decisions. In the Prem they can do it because VAR takes over.

He’ll be decent in league one next season for us if we can turn it permanent, though. 

[Paul Mellelieu]

I stand corrected.

They'll never score 3 easier goals than that.

Typical Ismael Rovers performance we made them work hard and ran ourselves into the ground again in some areas but nothing to show for it.

Worst team in the league for creativity and why oh why are they wasting money on a set piece coach ?

Look no different since he turned up and we don't even play for set pieces it's just another jobs for the boys waste of money and another layer protecting the head coach and those above him.

Someone to sack in other words.

If they don't go out and sign an actual target man on loan or something we might as well give up., it needs a change of system now.

So you agree with me.

Cheers.

[Rover down South]

Henriksson has done absolutely nothing in any of his appearances here. Way out of his depth and why VI continues to start him is beyond me, regardless of injuries. Would rather Tyjon was given a chance.

Cashin looks a complete liability. Both Brum & Brighton fans have said he is prone to mistakes. Proven today. Makes Dion Sanderson look good.

Gardner-Hickman is not a championship player by any standards.

It’s all on Ismael this. I understand we have injuries, but he has no clue. Two goals in 6 or 7 games and he just carries on with the same system. He has to go.

Absolutely fuming that Cantwell's corner and free kicks consistently never even land in the penalty area. That's ridiculous incompetence from any player in pro football.

Henriksson contributed nothing in the first half just as he has done in all the six matches or whatever he's started since Xmas. Keep doing the same thing and expect a different result!

About one thing, maybe.

Couldn’t even get one of his corners onto the pitch!

Persist with Cashin and we are down, who on earth decided to sign him? Didn’t even need him.

Another player signed purely for financial reasons. We will have known Birmingham were happy to cut his loan short, we will have known that Brighton were keen to get him out playing games somewhere, and that he was fed up barely playing for them. We like cheap short term fixes so rang Brighton up and managed to persuade them to send him here for nothing, or very little, on the proviso we would offer what Birmingham weren't providing - regular minutes.

They don't care about any more than that - a player in for next to no cost and a position 'addressed' with zero commitment or hassle. 

This is Blackburn Rovers 2026.

It reminds we of Sunday league stuff when the lad who thinks he's David Beckham grabs the ball and takes everything to try and make himself look good but is only really capable of one good delivery in 10.

Ridiculous but it's beyond daft anyway that a Championship head coach of his experience and the staff they have already cannot implement some set piece stuff themselves anyway.

Coming from the number 2 contrarian on the Board behind Masher, Im reassured by that.

[davulsukur]

Special mention to Cashin:

Scores an OG after 3 mins whilst under absolutely no pressure

Gets caught following the ball and leaves his man to score a second

Should have had a penalty given against him for wiping out their lad in the box

He's fucking atrocious.
