won't O'Riordan be playing tonight?

He doesn't play wide, he plays part of front and each of the front 3 in changed positions

We had 3 shots on target yesterday. Which defender would you drop for another forward or midfielder? Its you winding yourself your self up Abbey, not me. Yesterday wasn't one of our worst showing of club history, Stop going OTT after a defeat. Who would you drop for extra midfielder or attacking player?

wrong again Abbey. I have said our season ticket prices and match day prices are wrong and should be lower and Rovers focus should be filling Ewood Park with home fans, said the food options within Ewood Park isn't good enough, slammed Waggott and the Club Secretary for the 3 failed transfer deadline signings. So your comment I defend the every action he takes is bollocks and wrong. So why did we win at Leeds in front of 37k fans? Didn't Rovers offer free kids tickets with adult ticket bought or ST holder? also didn't play on Sunday not Saturday? Leeds game wasn't it free hit either

and plenty we lost aswell with him here. We seem to be better team when we have less possession. As my original point was we have decide what type of team we want to be next season and whether we become more of counter attacking team or possession based team or wing based team

I haven't mentioned Waggott in posts or whether it was right to sell 7k fans to Sheffield Wednesday but commented that them having 7k fans at Ewood Park played zero part in our losing that game?

Woah, I heard it all now. as me and others said it played no part. Just people looking for excuses and if they can't play in front on 7k away fans then how did they play at Elland Road in front of 37k and win there then? does he? tell me more please? where they Fruit scones or butter scones or cherry scones? was Jam and Clotted cream served with them?

I haven't mentioned Waggott once in my post Abbey. of course the Sheffield Wednesday player would say that, So if it affect them yesterday then how do you explaining winning at Leeds in front of 37k fans or Sunderland then if they aren't play in front of 7k sheff wed fans FFS?

It been problem all season tbh. Here are some examples for you Under JDT we had over 50% possession in games and lost like QPR at home, WBA away, Hull away, Huddersfield away, Watford at home, Sheffield away, PNE at home draw like Huddersfield at home, Rotherham at home, won at Stoke away with less 50%, Norwich away. won at home to Bristol City, Birmingham at home with more than 50%

Playing a back 3 at home isn't negative is it Gallagher doesn't play on the wing but part of front 3 and they interchange positions.

I stand by my point and ain't arguing with you cos its pointless. and the it was 54 minutes by the way. Majority of the game. After we scored the atmosphere was quiet for rest of the 1st half.

I don't think it got anything to do with pressure but basic decision making from Pears. Pears should have headed it into touch and we regroup and remains nil nil on the 3rd goal, Pears has time to take touch and then clear it but elected to clear it first time which he fluffed. On Hyam, I wouldn't have took him off at Bristol City either but factor in we lost Wharton at half time aswell.

So for most of their game then like a said?

Also another point to say we had 60% of possession yesterday and lose. In the 4 other games under Eustace when we had more than 50% of possession we have lost 2 and draw 2. Bristol City away and Ipswich at home were the 2 we lost Millwall at home and Cardiff away were the draws Looking forward to the summer and next season, we need to decide what type of team we want to be and what tactics/formation we will used and focus making signings that fit into those.

exactly, The players played well at Leeds in front of 37k week before and won. Can't used that as a excuse either. it didn't make one bit of different IMO and they weren't that loud for most of the game only when winning.

Also another thing I noted yesterday was how many simple balls over the top down our left hand side of our defence cause problems cos Wharton too slow to turn or too high up.

how did he set up wrong Philip? nothing to do with 2 mistakes from our number 1 after Pears very good performance at Leeds?

I still don't understand why Pears didn't clear the ball in touch for the first goal instead of giving it Hyam when Pears can see the Sheffield Wednesday player near him. For the 3rd goal, Why didn't Pears take a touch like he has done all game before trying to clear it.

Rovers players need to switch on from moment one and we need a win and a performance. We need to put everything that has gone on before and focus solely on getting the 3 points we need badly. I think we need to play 4-2-3-1 formation and play Gallagher as the 9 with Szmodics just in behind.

possible keeper signings in the summer Marek Rodak from Fulham, out of contract this summer Ben Wilson from Coventry. would cost a transfer fee Daniel Grimshaw from Blackpool. would cost a transfer fee Zander Clark from Hearts, would cost a transfer fee

We don't know whether they will be any investment in the summer or whether Szmodics will leave or not. I think we will spend some money in the summer . If you disagree fine by me. very few managers and head coaches aren't going to throw the players under the buses when talking the media are they? Under Eustace we had cut out the errors until the Bristol City awful and disappointed performance and result

what big error? he and Wharton keep Adam Armstrong quiet all game apart one early chance. I wanted Hyam to be captain at the start of season and I would still keep him Captain for next season and beyond. Pears should have smashed it away instead of messing around with it which lead to the first goal

my team would be Pears Brittain Carter Hyam Chrisene Buckley Tronstad JRC Szmodics Dolan Gallagher

No its not unfair or dismissive at all. We made all mistakes all season under JDT and Eustace. So not really evidence was it. We don't know what is said at Brockhall and in the dressing room do we? non story for me. Of course he cares about the result but he has remain upbeat and positive. That's his job. I think he will be good manager here and given him the summer transfer window to bring in his own players, reshaped the squad into what he wants and pre season and I think we can get top 10 next season.

Thanks for the clarification
