Thanks giving them a confidence boost right before we play them Tony.

We've got a decent run of winnable games now with Norwich (h) and Coventry (h) standing out as the tough ones. Then we have Burnley (h), Luton (h) and Millwall (a). Three tough games to end the season on. Four if you include Preston away before the Burnley game. SU have Reading next week, then a few tough games coming up. Luton (h), Sunderland (a), Norwich (a)... And erm Wigan... But then Burnley (a). On paper they have easier final games than us. Looking at the fixtures for us, SU and Boro I can't see us challenging for the automatics, but play offs are looking good if JDT and the team can keep it up.

Weird that he thought they should be 4-1 up. The Sheffield Chaddy.

Roll of honour... Special mention for the visually impaired.

Except for the lad that should have been sent off, twice!

Amazing win, I hope someone screen caps those cocky cricket club fans who said an easy win for them.

I wouldn’t say lucky but we are playing a good team. I’d say we’re unlucky not to be 2-0 up.

On the 30 minute mark the passing got particularly sloppy. Have to do better against teams that can punish you.

They are, Dolan is being pushed and pulled almost every time he has the ball. They’ve definitely watched the Leicester game.

If only Dolan had passed to Szmodics in the middle…

Everyone wanted that. Amazing attacking play.

It's a much better night out.

I was there last year and it seemed the same to me. A poor mans Manchester.

Thomas gets at them more than Hedges and creates space for others. I was really encouraged to see Dolan look like a more than worthy replacement for Brereton, so I hope he's playing on the left again with Gallagher in the middle.

It isn't, I've lived there. They call it steel city but that's because it's cold, lifeless and everyone's depressed. I remember the shopping centre with no roof and each shop was a decent walk away from the next. It meant if it's pissing down and freezing, you can't avoid it. Then there's Meadow Hall which is just an expensive toilet. Same with a night out, it's a nightmare in winter as the pubs/clubs are all some distance. And everyone calls you "duck". If you hadn't realised already I didn't enjoy my time in Sheffield.

For all the people saying they wouldn't have him back, would you swap Armstrong for Vale right now? He was a Championship goal machine in his last season and he's only 26. Infuriatingly greedy at times, but just imagine if we had a goalscorer of that calibre in the squad for the remainder of this season.

That's a special kind of stupid. Gets the year wrong by saying... "Blackburn won the Premier League in 1993 which was 28 years ago" (and he hasn't even mastered basic maths), as if it's ancient history. This is from a fan of a cricket club that were Champions of England once, 125 years ago. They haven't won a major cup for 98 years. Massive club. Always in the shadow of Sheffield Wednesday.

They've always been a set of dicks. Worst fans to come to Ewood on many occasion. That's what you get for a set of fans that's seen their team win f*** all since 1925.

We had Leonard on the bench on Tuesday because we have no other centre forwards but Vale and Gallagher. 17 year old Philips came off the bench to bolster the defence in the closing moments. Earlier in the season he had to step up to the first team. Wharton had to because our other midfielders had a collective mental breakdown. I don't think there's a game gone by without a teenager or two on the bench.

Payback for Kevin Davies. They'll offload him to a Championship club and he'll start banging them in again.

We shouldn't be forced to use teenagers in the first team, they should be brought in at the correct time for the good of their development and the team.

Not in a state... Brereton with half a good season our only hope, Gallagher the only striker, out of form or downright poor midfielders, Ayala a sicknote, Dack perhaps finished, only one fullback worth using, and even that was questionable considering Pickering's performances last season. It's not as if Dolan, Hedges, Pears and JRC were spectacular last season either. And the rest kids with little to no first team experience.

Yes. But, not just the coaching, but the other factors surrounding being called up to a national team and picked for a large tournament. The lad must have been walking on sunshine. Gallagher had three good games with no other examples you can remember, because there weren't any. Tomasson inherited a massive challenge no matter how you paint it, and at the beginning of the season no one predicted we'd be where we are. Mid season you stated in another thread that we had an underwhelming Summer transfer window and a poor January. Yet you thought we'd improve on last season. You can praise Mowbray all you want, but after 5 years it amounted to coming second in League 1, finishing 15th, 11th, 15th and 8th in the Championship, and leaving the squad in a state. That's just a fact is it not?

I always thought Mowbray was better with a small budget and when given money he went a bit batshit. If Sunderland spend big in Summer, they're screwed. Their fans won't stand by and watch a journey to nowhere unfold.

Ex football agent, failed CEO at multiple clubs. It shouldn't be a surprise when things go wrong.
