A lot of the teams down there play each other in these last few fixtures so not all of them can win all their games. Saying that, there is a still a formula for Rovers to get relegated. Avoid defeat against Wednesday keeps us up I'd like to say. That opinion comes with us having at least 50 points on the board which will smash the highest points total for a relegated team and Birmingham City and Huddersfield Town playing each other in the penultimate game.

Not sure what result I prefer in the Plymouth Argyle vs Stoke City game yet. A draw is possibly the best outcome for us?

Last time we went down we had 51 points, so that's incorrect.

I do believe we will be safe with a draw though and even more so if both Huddersfield and Brum, fail to win tomorrow.

100% agree, they have nothing to lose sheff weds, and they simply wont go away, they have a feel of the great escape about them. I fear the worst even after Saturdays heroics. We haven't proven to do heroics consecutively. Id snap hands off for a draw right now. Going to be a nervy saturday i feel. Hope im wrong though and that our confidence sweeps them away, but head says no. 
Each transfer window seems to be massive for us as a club atm, feels like we are constantly hanging by a thread all the time. 

It will be a nervy Saturday watching the other results come in and then over to us on Sunday

I would say it is more of a must not lose game.

I have hated the must not lose games V Millwall and Plymouth, but after Saturday, I am fine with that, so long as it doesn't backfire and we lose.

GB outlined in his recent interview how we appoint Eustace

Fair enough. What did he say?

31 minutes ago, chaddyrovers said:

Surely it was GB who give the board of directors which was probably Waggott, Pasha(unofficially), Silvester and Cheston to decide which way they went to replace JDT. 

I think Eustace was the best candidate out there not in work we could have got. (don't have any knowledge of foreign head coaches who haven't worked in English football)

From what I’ve read on here, it was Waggott’s appointment, but I stand to be corrected.

All the above is true.

It's taking me a while to "like" Eustace but when he joined all I asked is that he avoids relegation and he's almost achieved that and I'm confident he will.

He's done the job so starts with a clean slate next season and hope that he gets the support from the Board and owners that all managers deserve.

I am pretty sure he will, if he keeps us up, which now looks a lot more likely.

From my point of view, knowing it was a Waggott decision to appoint him and then hearing nothing but positives being spun, even when there were none or few to be seen, created a serious sense of doubt.

Yesterday certainly helped to endear him and if we not get over the line, I am happy to accept that I was wrong about him, as up until yesterday, I had very serious reservations.

So you are the next Mystic Meg

Thank goodness I’m not. 

I think it says it all, when we have people on here, tearing up after this. I did too both after the goal and final whistle.

It means so much to so many people and thank goodness for that today, I will sleep soundly later.

Sammy the hero again, but so proud of the team again today, after what we have gone through recently.

Enjoy everyone and let's hope that's us safe.

My watch is blaring out abnormal heartbeat. No shit Sherlock. 

Brilliant and join the club.

Very happy with that so far. We cannot fault the commitment in the first half. Great to see Pears catching a couple of corners and taking the pressure off.

Watching from abroad on Rovers TV. Harry Leonard doing some summary and very good too.

A big half coming up and a point or even 3 puts some belief back.

First ten minutes will be crucial.

Fair play but how do you explain the Sunderland game? A fiver nil flash in the pan, it's just mental

It's hard to explain, but it is plain for all the see that Rovers have been a total shambles in most games under Eustace. 

We will definitely lose today by more than one and I am fairly sure next week V Sheffield Wednesday, we are already set up to fail in that one, thanks to Waggott.

We are set up today for a 0-0 and that is likely to unravel in the first half in my opinion.

Plymouth beat Leicester last night, didn't see that coming

I did and they were 6/1. Todays treble, Leeds -1, Birmingham plus 1 and Sheffield Wednesday. Odds are around 4/1. For those asking Rovers are 4/1 to go down. We will be evens or less after the Sheffield Wednesday game.

So who decides what a positive result is?

Coventry at home soon. What is a 'positive result' out of that one? Or does it depend what happens tomorrow?

Rovers 16, Coventry 0. We sort out negative goal difference out before the final game at Leicester, where we thrash them 0-10. I wish everyone would stop being negative, as we are fantastic. John Eustace says we are, so we must be.

You effectively lose as many points by letting in a scabby last minute equaliser.

Exactly and possibly scored by a player, who you haven't paid for.

Those in favour where does it stop?

I mean we often have 20,000 empty seats at Ewood thanks to Venkys and Waggott, so presumably they'd be happy if we handed away fans all the BBE and Riverside if possible, pocketed loads of money for no benefit to the club and condensed all the home fans into the JW stand.

Happy days.

Change our Name to Man United Seconds, play in red, change the name of the ground to mini old Trafford and fill it every week. Loan all of their up and coming youngsters.

Lets face it we have already run events for other clubs at Ewood for other clubs this season, so that's probably next.

WTF

Ah, the Ben Marshall 'Undr The Cosh' interview - only listened to it this week!

The level of unprofessionalism during Coyle's era; it's absolutely no shock we went down under him.

I also finally listened to King Rat Bradley Orr's one this week also.
What a fucking cock end.
'If only the fans knew what was going on behind the scenes...'

We knew more than you did, you big-nosed Scouse prick.
Completely whitewashed all of the Kean stuff and made him out to look like some kind of innocent party 🤮

I know the club Doctor who worked at Bolton when Coyle was there.

He told me some very interesting stories about his that confirmed what a complete pillock he was, which made me even more rattled when we appointed him and called him the stand out candidate.

I hope our current manager improves a bit over the next 4 games, as he is beginning to make me, every bit as concerned, especially with his description of some of the players and performances.

Can see this being 0-0 until half time and everyone saying "oh we're doing alright here" to lose 3-0 in the second half.

Can't see anyone else around us winning this weekend so that's one plus.

Hope you are right. I have a feeling that Sheff Weds will win and maybe Brum too.

It is squeaky bum time if that happens.

They'll probably beat Stoke at home whilst we getting beat at Leeds so yes they will be well up for it in that case and we are just clinging to hope that the team that has let us down all season can actually show up.

We both lose or draw this weekend then it's nerves all around.

Whatever happens it's a stupid decision to let them pack out the end and hand more backing than necessary to their team and i can't think of another club in the land would do something so stupid.

That's  the big issue. If they do win on Saturday and we lose, they bring some real momentum into the game. they won their last away game 0-2 and assuming they do win, it would then be two wins and a draw from their last 3.

As we know, Rovers have won one under this manager, so why would we give them an even bigger boost by giving them an allocation of 7,000?

Self inflicted this, if it does go the way I fear.

I’m as pissed off as anyone with the way things are going but we are absolutely not at this point yet.

it is entirely in our own hands. Win our two home games and we will stay up. Possibly just one of them (Sheff Wed)

You are quite correct, it is still in our own hands, however one win under the new manager and a demoralising defeat on Wednesday, really will take some recovering from.

This is not helped by us selling 7,000 tickets to SWFC and making it a cup final for them and helping to get them up for it. I cannot for the life of me, so Rovers getting as up for it as they will and neither will our fans.

This weekends fixtures look challenging from our point of view too and if they go as I expect with another heft defeat for us and a Sheff Weds win, then we are really up against it a week on Sunday and I fear the worst.

Outrageous that they effectively signed a player in front of us, by using money that should have gone to other clubs and was withheld. How is that punishment for such obvious cheating?

We would have made the playoffs with that signing for sure.

Not to mention getting to the FA cup semi final at the expense of other clubs. Two points does not act as a deterrent, surely.

You make 100% sense. 

I’m expecting something closer to 0-0, definitely not 5-1, or 0-5. We very well may lose, but I expect our lads will give a great account of themselves at Elland. 

COYB! 

Prepare to be disappointed

Sheffield Wednesday sold out their 7000 tickets for our game, Waggott probably working on plans to shift everyone out of the Jack Walker and open it up to them as well 

If he could sell them the points, I swear he would.

We’re on too much of a knife edge to start bickering internally but when the season is over I’d like to hear some straight talking. Given we haven’t much of that in 14 years I’ll probably be disapointed.

This is precisely why I can't stomach anymore.

Nothing has changed and nothing will under these owners.
