Cardiff were woeful.. Think Derby will challenge for the last spot. 

With West Brom, Brentford, Cardiff and Leeds left to play, Derby will have to play very well to make the top 6.

Sickening isn't it.

The thing is despite our hopes and dreams rovers are not ready for promotion  as it stands. If it happened this season then venkys would have had to splurge £120m plus just with a view to finishing outside of the bottom 3! Either that or they would recoup some of their losses sell the club and FO. Thus leaving us in the right royal shit. At least another season with more progression and promotion of some great kids along with experience to guide them gives them a better chance. Next season minimum goal should be the top 6 and more consistency on the pitch.

That's absolute nonsense.

There is never a bad time for a £170m cash injection. I wouldn't care if we got tanked every week.

Had we won at Barnsley and Wigan and not wasted it we would be in a great place with 65 points.

Typical Rovers under Mowbray.

Play yourselves out of contention then just pull out a result when it's too late to make the overall picture look half way respectable.

This sums up Rovers for me. It's strange but when the team is under pressure to perform they simply cannot do it. When there isn't any pressure they look a very good outfit. 

A few other correlating factors which I don't think are unrelated to today's win:

1) The pressure was off the team but the scrutiny was on TM. Funny how when the fans start getting restless the obvious belated team changes happen and the performances improve. 

2) Following on from number 1, it's no surprise we do better when Bennett and Gally aren't in the team. 

3) We were clear underdogs and Cardiff needed to come at us. These are games we relish far more than lower league scraps. Sure we get overawed and play too cautiously vs the big clubs in the division like Leeds, but any game where we aren't clear favourites and the opposition comes to us, seem to be the ones we relish. 

Great win. Shows what we are capable of. Questions need to be asked why we aren't doing it when it really counts.

Typical Rovers under Mowbray. A series of abject performances when the playoffs were in reach, only to then go and get a good win when the pressure is off and the playoffs are long gone. It's exactly why under Mowbray we will be a mid table side who occasionally flirt with the playoffs without ever really threatening.

Nothing to do with the pressure being off, we won tonight because we played a proper front 3. Shame we had to all but play ourselves out of playoff contention with Gallagher, Brereton and a false 9 before Graham got a chance. And Samuel is far more effective than either of our two big money buys.
 

Very enjoyable and a great result... but really frustrating considering the opportunity our last three performances have blown.

The usual win once the pressure is off. 34 year old DG still our best striker which is obviously worrying. We desperately need a new keeper this summer.

Please don't let Gallagher or Bennett start again for the rest of the season. Happy for Rothwell to sit out the remainder as well tbh. 

Give over, Graham isn't a patch on Armstrong.

He's still had it, he merely looks better because he's being compared to garbage like Gallagher, Samuel and, to date, Brereton.

This is why I think an independent director or DOF is needed at Ewood. To apply a little internal pressure when needed. Said the same under Bowyer the vacuum between here and India allows the comfort zone to become too comfortable.

Only when fans start getting twitchy and the press starts getting a little bit critical do we get a reaction.

If you genuinely want too 6 it shouldn't be like that. They should never ever lack motivation or be set up just to plod.
