Leicester winning 5-0 tonight meaning if they win on Monday at Preston they are promoted which may make the final game slightly kinder Edit - if they beat Preston then a point against us guarantees (not mathematically excluding a 15 goal swing) they are champions assuming Ipswich take maximum points in their games Maybe we just make a gentlemen’s agreement like we did with United at Ewood that it would be lovely to draw

Either way - they aren’t winning! VAR

I would like to place on record my thanks to whoever made it more difficult to attend, small mercies indeed

First bit is still true, the likes of Stoke and QPR would canter past us we just have to somehow hope Huddersfield and Brum save us now

I think that’s it, we’re going down, so avoidable and self inflicted

Not even sure it’s that, we’ve just given them the win, they’ve offered very little but haven’t had to

3 bang average loanees coming on, sums it up

We’ve now turned next week into must must win and ramped the pressure right up, go into the last game needing something and it’s game over

Why didn’t he dive on it and take the free kick? Amazed how bad this is after the position we were in

There’s no point even commenting on that

Huge task now, wind in their sails Wouldn’t mind but this lot have been abysmal

The standard is shocking here from both sides; that passage of play with JRC and Bannan summed it up

The lad they brought on looks a train wreck we need to pressure him

They’ve done nothing but we look so dodgy at the back What Is Pears doing there he’s walked out past the ball

Come on ref it’s an obvious yellow that one, set the level now!

His link up has been exactly what you’d want from him so far

Both for me if you come that far you have to be getting it to safety

Ridiculous Sammie, he’s just insane

An absolute stinker of a goal to concede that, Dolan wasting the counter then shocking from Pears and Hyam

Ideal start, Sammie KO’d after 30 seconds

We don’t make things easy as a club do we? I’ve not been back to Ewood since my dad passed a year or so back, my wife said she tried to book tickets for me and my eldest as a surprise but couldn’t get through the website which kept throwing up issues. I assume it’s to do with her not having a purchase history but still we seem to complicate things!

We couldn’t have asked for much more today, stoke and QPR aren’t relevant in reality, plus if you want to consider them then as least Stoke winning meant Plymouth lost

Doesn’t matter how the results go on Saturday in terms of the maths, win Sunday and its mathematically impossible to be relegated

Or 3 if it comes on Sunday. If that happens there is no permutation of results that enables Sheffield Wednesday and one of Huddersfield or Birmingham to catch us along with Rotherham occupying the bottom spot

For all their supposed battling Sheffield Wednesday aren’t making the most of it, it’s a tough game but one that they will now be much more nervous about than I expected this morning. Thought we’d be going into it on the back of two losses and level on points with them resurgent instead they’ll feel bruised today.
