Understandable, Barnes could have bummed the referee and still wouldn't have got a yellow.

I've no idea what the rulebook states but I'm pretty certain that's a red card offence.

He needs to fix his mistake in signing Hirst.

A likeable player but mediocre. The point was he shouldn't be the only centre forward in the squad whilst filling the squad with average midfielders signed to be played wide or as a false 9. We saw today that Vale is not an adequate replacement for a senior centre forward. And Hirst should be nowhere near the first team, Broughton needs a kick in the ass for that one. As soon as Vale came on you could see Burnley commit more players. No threat apart from Brereton. Throw as many players forward as you want as long as you keep Brereton from running foward.

Hang on, he said we weren't going to strengthen in January?! When did he say this?!

It's not a Burnley curse, it's just a curse. Today was this seasons 7-0 at home.

They were Broughton's words, who, along with Waggott needs to answer for why we yet again didn't purchase a proper striker. It's been a problem since last season kicked off, never mind this one. It gives teams a free pass to come at us as we've only Brereton to rely on for goals. Keep him quiet and most games you can get a win.

Our best, and arguably only CF is Sam Gallagher. Mowbray had something to do with that.

Three yellow cards I counted. The ref didn't help but suicidal tactics and team selection lost the game.

The ref allowed them to do what they wanted which didn't help, but JDT and players were far worse villains today. Just another away game for JDT is seemed.

I know we're all hurting Jim, and there's plenty to blame JDT for, but you can't say it's Tomasson's team after what he inherited. However after that display I do worry what Tomasson's team will look like as he must have a screw loose if he thought not playing the Wharton's in a local derby was a good idea. Playing out from the back whilst expecting to hold out for 90+ minutes against the league's top scorers was ever going to end well. Throwing two novices into the cauldron in Mola and Garrett who overall were both poor. When we brought Vale on for Gallagher (I blame Waggott and Broughton for not providing adequate cover there) and it really was men playing boys. I fully expected to lose today, but not by three goals and not in the manner we did. Burnley have a good championship squad bolstered by their coffers, whilst we're still picking the pieces up from Mowbray's reign of midfielders playing upfront. However to expect to defend an entire match and then capitulate like that is indefensible by manager and players. "Playing his way." I've never seen anything like it, and in a Derby game too. And I'll never understand these managers who try to play football when their players aren't equipped. Third in the league and not one Rovers fans happy about it. What a bizarre game this can be.

We're still witnessing the legacy of Mowbray Jim. That dickhead left us with no reliable CF's and a squad filled with inconsistent or mediocre midfielders.

From the looks of it, not many on the pitch are.

Handed it to them with the dodgy tactics and team selection. With a decent helping of five years of Tony Mowbray and the eternal cunts who employed him.

JDT hasn't a fucking clue. I think every other person on the planet invested in Blackburn Rovers would have played Scott Wharton.

Pathetic. They should be ashamed of this.

And no striker, but that could have been addressed when Mr Boro left. Broughton thought Hirst would be the answer.

Criminal that we haven't tested them at the back all match. Dodgy keeper, a questionable defence and we've given them the day off.

And less than five minutes after conceding a goal from pissing about at the back, we piss around with it at the back yet again. Get it sorted Tomasson.

Why does he insist on passing around at the back? We can't even pass it around in the middle.

Pissing around at the back. Mental.

He's not had the presence of S Wharton.

It doesn't help that every time we get the ball at the centre circle they foul us with freedom.

I can blame him for being a cunt.

He's put out a team to defend for the entire match, with no way of countering 🤷‍♂️ None of the Wharton's playing is baffling. And on top of that the referee isn't punishing Burnley so they are going to keep doing it. Lots of niggly fouls and shoves. Right now Barnes should have three yellow cards.
