My better half agreed to come to the Rovers (not a massive football fan but wants to spend time together) and we've been to a few games in the last year, mostly away from home. Across those games we have scored 0 goals and to boot probably had less than 5 shots on target. The fact she is still willing to go is a miracle because good lord we suck the life out of the games we're in. I want to go to Rovers games because I have a deep connection and I want to see us do well but boycotting is an easy because there is the entertainment level is non-existent and the manager is a charisma vacuum, so there isn't even a sense of togetherness from that. It's just depressing - could be worse under different owners, but it's worth the roll of the dice to me.

Yuki last season scored some very good goals, some reactive and others after long runs, and we have not really seen this since Ismael took over. I think he's being asked to spend his time chasing everything instead of focusing on specific areas of the field and that combined with the fact he's playing every game has massively hampered the effectiveness of an already limited player. I'd like to see a pacy left winger and a striker with a big of physical presence come in, but I doubt we'll get either. A good coach/manager will use player's strengths. Ours is rigid to a system that suits no one and we're all suffering for it. The fact that today's turgid serving is seen as an improvement says it all.

1 point isn't enough. 1 win in 14 isn't enough. Yeah we got better players back but we still didn't really create any kind of attacking play, and it's that that is going to see us down at the end of the season. In isolation sure, the point looks alright on paper. Unfortunately, we're not in a position where "in isolation" draws help us.

Alright for him, he can "take full responsibility" and leave with a pay-off whilst we drop through the trapdoor to Oblivion. He gets a significant amount of players back in the next week so there is absolutely no excuses from here. However track record shows even with a full squad we don't do anything so I'm not hopeful.

So that would be 5 back, absoluyely no excuses if we get spanked in the next two games then. As he said, it's only down to injuries.

If that stays the same I think that's that for us. The manager has clearly given up in any game for the foreseeable future because we won't have players back and there just isn't the fight in the squad needed to bail ourselves out.

Rover 0-3 Watford Men against boys in the Ewood Park morgue. Ismael sat at the side without a clue having already given up on the game not giving the slightest damn and leaving the squad out to dry.

And let's be honest if he was actually fit (big if I know but still) we'd be begging to have him back in the first 11.

None of the systems have worked under VI because he hasn't the first clue how to coach us to attack, this season or last! No point being a possession based team if it's entirely in your own half i front of 11 men.

If he goes it will be February again so that the new guy has no influence on the squad and they promise them a rebuild (downgrade) in the summer.

I would buy it if we weren't tragically bad with those players as well. We are disorganised at the back, seemingly have no coached way of moving past the halfway line, do nothing to protect our players, don't use subs even to save some legs. In addition, a school team could put together better set pieces than our so called expert in charge. Even with our strongest team we rarely get more than a couple of shots on target. Val has no passion and puts in little to no effort to help the team. He's an excuse merchant who takes no accountability and the sooner I don't have to watch him sulk in his chair on the sidelines the better.

Osmajic honestly should be banned for life at this point. What's that, a bite, racism and a headbutt in around 12 months? Scumbag.

I thjlink you're being incredibly optimistic considering the last two mamagers have basically had to beg to leave.

Can't wait to see Val tell us how there's nothing to worry about. Zero passion, zero talent, zero effort. This club is dead.

We should move Atcheson into midfield, he has more ball carrying ability than the rest of the team combined.

If this team had an "anticipation" rating it would be negative.

I'm a few beers in but might need to pull some out.

De Neve putting in an all time stinker in 10 minutes.

I have the pain of watching this with a Swansea fan so I can't stop... this is brutal.

This is yet another game where we could have easily conceded 5 or 6. Appalling.

Get this management team gone fuck me. We are 100% down with this clown.

Amazing lads, is there an area of the pitch we are not absolutrly shocking in?

Lad needs a couple of weeks off

He was fine under Eustace, not a world beater but 10 times as effective as the current clown has him.
