We are going down (the pessimism thread)
lraC replied to simongarnerisgod's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
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. -

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

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. -
John Eustace - our head coach

Fair enough. What did he say? -

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

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. -

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. -

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. -

I doff my cap to every single one. Hope all have a safe journey and you get an unexpected display to rave and shout about. -

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. -

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. -

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

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

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. -

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. -

lraC replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
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. -

lraC replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
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. -
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.

Prepare to be disappointed -
If he could sell them the points, I swear he would.

Wouldn’t it be nice to even think that would happen. It’s damage limitation the aim of the game in this one and miracles are not about to happen. -

This is precisely why I can't stomach anymore. Nothing has changed and nothing will under these owners.
