You should do, we're joining them.

Not even sure I understand this sentence, even if we are relegated why would I then care about them?

Should have hit it first time - hard, low, on target. Ball can go anywhere then

Your a top defender then and now a top striker? Easy in the stands 🙂

It wasn't on a plate -he did a smart turn to get it on his left and then yes, he skied it. Certainly not a sitter.

Pretty sure and confident to say I'd of done better than that.

Funny game really.

I agree (and always have) on the dross that is the 3 stooges (and the Raos obviously) but on the actual game itself was somewhat encouraged. It’s a low bar of course but we at least looked coherent and were actually in the game. Forshaw, despite his age showing simple class of getting and keeping the ball, no obvious daft errors from the team (Cantwell’s petulance apart), some nice team interplay.

But, as someone said, it’s about what you do at each end. So, we can’t score despite some nice play. We can’t consistently defend. Thus we lose.

Not offside –if the (ridiculous) chuckle brothers say not then it wasn’t.

Definite abuse of Gestede from many in JW. Stewards called to intervene.

Righto 😉

Really disappointing today, we huffed and puffed but didn’t look like we would have scored if we had played until next Christmas. I thought Cashin and O’Riordan played well but without some plan to score goals, we look doomed. The Manager has had a lot of issues to deal with, notably the fools running the club and the horrific injury list but let’s not forget that when he was appointed, we were sat in the play off places. The football is absolutely turgid, one win in 15 and just two wins at home this season, time to roll the dice but as we all know, he is a mere symptom and not the disease affecting our beloved club.

We were on about Toth,he's looked far from convincing since he came back. 

I agree but he pulled off good save to keep it at 1-0 late on.

I've been critical of Baradji but thought he looked solid when he came on, looked strong and seem keep possession better than he has done - Has an eye for a pass as well.

Just needs to work on his positioning defensively, hopefully he's a slow burner.

I think you'd get the best out of him a midfield 3 where he's got a freer role. Asking him to sit as one of the two DMs is always going to leave you exposed when he goes forward.

The rug and flask brigade revolt!

Hope they tried hitting them with their walking sticks as well.

Good on them.

You’ll be surprised at some of the older ‘faces’ that frequent the JW upper Rev.

I‘m just surprised it’s taken so long to vent that frustration and long may it continue.

We are so good at passing the ball left to right, back to front without doing anything purposeful. All the possession percentages look good but we really never trouble their keeper.

Backwards and sideways…everywhere we go

Abject. Worst team I've seen at Ewood since 1976.

People clapping players at the end. Astonishing.

Good point made by some bloke on radio BLACKBURN. Ian somebody I think (not Herbert). After Ismael's interview he said that you never get any coaching points related information out of him in an interview. It's just platitudes, I'm not worried and on to the next game which is the most important blah blah. I know it's his second language but it's just insulting.

It was Steve Eyre…👍

and you were excellent and very articulate as always Mr Herbert . Made me proud that we have such articulate supporters and spokesmen. Which is more than can be said for the club itself sadly.

Anyone witness Dion De Neve dribble the ball out for a goal kick? He did the exact same at Swansea away!!!

Surely has to be one of the worst signing in championship history?

No more than about 10,000 and that includes almost 3,000 Hull fans I reckon

People saying nobody would keep this team up, Tony Mowbray is out of work and if they had an ounce of ambition to stay in this division they would bring him in immediately. The damage Gestede and Pasha have done is enormous but Mowbray would definitely make a better fist of it than this moron currently managing the team.

Dribble ? You have to have the ball under control to call it a dribble. He just over kicked it. Any decent amateur player would have been embarrassed at that.

clearly not up to this level ,i don`t think iv`e seen anyone who stands out as so lacking at this level and i`ve seen plenty of them in my time,they usually get half a dozen games and are quietly discarded,this fellow just keeps getting chances

They couldn’t even tell Mowbray if they were renewing his contract or not when he had about 4 weeks left. He wouldn’t touch us again.
