John Eustace - our head coach
lraC replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I quite often come on here to get a crumb of comfort, reading what other fans have to say and knowing that we go though things as a collective, rather than wallowing in some of the crazy decisions being made at the club. The two posts on the previous page made by Vyeo and JH Rover are both absolutely brilliant and sum up an awful lot of what I also feel. Despite things looking very grim right now and our immediate future being perilous, having people on here sharing the pain and caring so much about the club, does still give me hope. As individual fans, we are pretty powerless, but I do firmly believe that eventually the incompetents in place (including the current manager) especially the owners and current CEO will be gone and we will all still be around to see the club ride again. -

I am feeling the same after 54 years supporting the club. I don't know if I will fee differently after the summer break, but right now, the antics at the club have got me questioning if I want to be part of this any more. -

I think that's why the bookmakers have us at 10/1. It shows how far we have fallen though, hoping we can pick up a point at home to Coventry in our final home game and take it to 8 with no home wins for the new manager. It is bound to be at the forefront of his thoughts then, so 5 at the back again this week at home. -

I have now watched it (couldn't bring myself to yesterday) and oh my goodness. Apparently there are people suggesting there is something suspicious about it on social media. I am not too sure myself, although he didn't seem to attempt to save it, after the error. -

I didn't see the game yesterday, as I was on a flight and can't bring myself to watch the highlights. I think there is a strong possibility that Coventry will have nothing to play for and just hope we can get the first home win under Eustace. It is on a knife edge for me and I really do fear the worst now. -

As II said a couple of pages back, lose all 3 and we deserve to go down. There is a very serious chance of that happening now, as the easiest of those games has now been played and of course we managed to lose that in spectacular fashion. -

Birmingham can still catch if they lose on Saturday and we lose. It’s going down to the last round of matches if we lose V Coventry. -

It’s better than mine, as I was suggesting a bag of cement in goal. -

We were 25/1 to go down this morning. We are still 9/1 which seems crazy to me, given how bad we are. Im clinging on to the hope that the bookies don’t normally get it wrong. -

Lose all 3 from here and we deserve to go down. Surely we won’t do that. -

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. -

Fair enough. What did he say? -

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

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

v Leeds United (a) - 13/04/2024
lraC replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
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. -

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

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.
