What's Leeds like for beer.

They have some top rate bottlers.

Surely these facility repairs and safe standing could all be funded comfortably from the £25 million cash coming into the club since last summer? Or are we supposed to forget about that.

Just like we are supposed to forget that not long ago Coventry were a 4th division side playing in Northampton, so yes I take exception when Rovers employees are using them as an example of what we could/should be. The only reason we are below them is because of mismanagement at our end which has been bettered by virtually every other club in the Football League.

The owners, board and our senior management expect us to forget and many of us do.

It's like the Maguire FU never happened, although as the ball in now back with Orlando they will be the reason why it never ever happens.

There will never be an outcome for this fictitious internal investigation into what happened in January.

They think we are stupid and they are correct in many cases.

Lunatics running what is an asylum.

And still I read expectations of a rebuild starting this summer.

I can't make this up.

Totally agree.

I had a typo in my post. It should read "can't get grants" ... They are friggin billionaires!

Waggott pointed out yet again on Tuesday night at the awards night, just how luck we are to have such wonderful owners.

I read the Forum minutes too. Lots about the many repairs, due to years of neglect, needed at Ewood but no mention of such expenses being outside of FFP and therefore an easy payment for the billionaires.

Crowd funding for safe standing as they can't get grants for such .......

Waggott is a charlatan of decades of same BS.

Did JE say that Coventry getting rid of their trash owners was the catalyst to all round improvement at the club......

I thought not.

 "John Eustace believes Coventry City have been a leading example for clubs like Blackburn Rovers of how to build success sustainably"

Will someone PLEASE tell him to shut his clueless mouth!!

He's a Company Man, has the condescending smile so necessary to play the part and he's not very bright, indeed a tad thick as Pig shit.

Can't see Plymouth losing to Millwall, I think they'll get a point at least which will be enough to overtake us (assuming we lose both games) on GD.

The GD is a worry but I just can't see Plymouth getting a point at Millwall, whose home form is good.

The bookies are correct.

Huddersfield and Plymouth will not finish above Rovers.

I'm not saying that they will both be relegated.

We are safe on 49 points.

I hope this survives the time test.

Because we're better on the counter attack. 

Have been for a while. But I think a stat was put up during the Wednesday game on Sky for just Eustace's reign. And over 50% possession had less points result than under.

Even though we're at home, a relegation battle makes teams more cagey. Cov now have nothing to lose, all guns blazing, come at us hard.

We sit back, low possession stats, then pick them off on the break with Sammie and Dolan's pace. 

Easy peasy right. 

You had me until Dolan and pace were in the same sentence.

Simms will score so we need at least 2 goals for a win.

So basically step forward Sammie and save us.

Robins will motivate Coventry, that is a given, and I hope our lot don't fall for the "they are fatigued" bollocks. That would be a recipe for disaster.

Coventry only lost to a good Hull side because they gift wrapped 2 of Hull's goals and were victims of Ref inadequacy in the build up to the penalty.

Shows all of his errors leading to goals this season.

He’s that bad an account with 675k followers has accused him of match fixing 😂

The 4th one, where he just sinks to his knees with no other movement, has happened more than once as has just standing still as the ball goes in.

Makes me wonder if he needs glasses.

It's just a lack of awareness from Hyam. Should have been safety first knowing his keeper was out.

Having said that, the finish was outstanding.

 

It really was a great finish. Perfectly hit.

Hyam is clumsy, he tried to control the ball, big mistake, but put in that predicament by Pears thinking he can do a controlled headed pass, what, 30 or more yards from goal. He was close to the touchline he should have just headed it out of play.

Both made fatal errors, meanwhile Wharton was ambling back like a beached walrus to provide cover.

66% possession, 6 shots,  0 on target and lose 5-0

Your the man, Russell.

And contrary to opinion expressed by another they will not win the title, not gain an automatic promotion and, I really hope, continue Russell's implosion into the playoffs.

I watched the first goal back and paused it just as Pears headed it, have a look.

If he doesn’t come out, their player is clear down the left channel with all the defence gone missing. He made exactly the right choice, it's Hyam who cocks up by not clearing his lines.

The right choice would have been Pears heading it out of touch and not playing a header to a player facing him and at an awkward height.

They’re not the only ones who will be at it. Leeds winning last night has intensified the race at the top meaning Leicester will have it all to play for in the last game.

I’m increasingly gloomy, I can’t see us getting another point.

I expect Leicester and Coventry to win their home midweek games.

Coventry will come to Ewood still in the playoffs mix and Leicester could be putting the icing on a title win at home.

I too expect no further points, hope 49 are enough and trust in the inadequacy of others.

Not pessimistic, just realistic.

If I'm wrong I can be 😊 

Edit: the Leeds of last night would have torn us a new one.

All those left from the squad v SW.

They are L1 at best.

I know how he felt. However he, like several of our lot, has no right to be too critical bearing in mind how many times he has lost possession, missed tackles and wasted attacking positions, this season. Pears' errors were atrocious, but the lack of quality, focus and fight goes well beyond the goalkeeper in this team.

Every Picture Tells A Story, Don't It.

I wonder what Mr. Brittain is thinking about Pears og

Granted it was on target but in no way was it an overhit or challenging pass to deal with.

Subjective, I think it was.

For me the two challenges are fouls but I don’t think the Forest player’s exaggerated fall for the first helped their cause.

With the handball I’d day it falls into the ‘seen them given’ category but for me it’s one that should never be given.

That's how I saw it.

Atwell, hmmmmm, best not opine, it would be impolite.

i agreed with this. Pears should have taken his chance and try to catch the ball after the miskick (since it was unintentional). Probably that's what the ref came over and spoke to him about. "You could have caught the ball and it will be okay, son".

He had time to kick the ball again. It was close to him. Once the ball bounced and spun away he was doomed. He's not that agile at the best of times.

Hyam played his part, over hit ball, on goal and bobbly.

That doesn't excuse Pears not making proper contact with the ball. Specsavers needed.

15 touches in total (you needed to scroll down a bit further…)

Thank you! Still getting used to navigating that site.

It confirms that Dolan and Gallagher didn't manage a single one between them.

Markanday put himself about a bit in his cameo.
