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.

A long rest needed, but that will come on Saturday

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.

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.

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.

Every Picture Tells A Story, Don't It.

I wonder what Mr. Brittain is thinking about Pears og

Subjective, I think it was.

So you're wrong, no big deal

That's how I saw it. Atwell, hmmmmm, best not opine, it would be impolite.

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.

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.

Good post. On the highlighted text we won possession, touches and passes whilst also playing more long ball than SW. I can't locate touches within the opposition area but recall a ridiculously low number for Rovers being mentioned in commentary. Just to add, and not in reference to the above quoted post, I am not putting any faith into there being any form of reset at the club over the summer. This attitude avoids disappointment and invites delight if I'm wrong, but 13 years of shite teaches something.

Very few. In the past 5 games no goals, 1 assist and just 1 shot on target.

Dolan and Gallagher both had xGs of FA, Nada, Zero... At Ewood against bloody rubbish

Ince had a win ratio double that of Eustace's current ratio, achieved in the PL, but rightly potted.

My bias is not recent. I thought Pears crap since Mowbray signed his mates son to help out Boro get shut of a player they didn't want on their books. His rare good performance just outliers.

In the league he's on 0.92 ppg, and that includes the 2 somewhat unexpected away wins. Pathetic is not the word I'm looking for.

Eustace's managerial record puts him in the Jim Iley bracket. It will be argued that he's only managed a small number of games. So did Jim, and he was then rightly booted. There's no point in doing it now, the darlings would cry but over the summer get shut of this never will be.

1-4 Sammie will get a goal on his Ewood farewell. Lucky lad. And then on to Leicester and hoping they don't destroy what remains of our GD advantage.

I can't come up with anything polite. I've tried.

We are a shambles. I give up on the semi with MU up by 2. That was ok, seeing them jam it on pens would have been too much for one day. Robbins will have them up for us. It's what he does. I'm sticking with 49 points and GD being enough.
