v Southampton (a) - 16/12/23
RTM08 replied to NeilInBristol's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
The only teams who have lost more than us are the teams in the bottom three. Another season where JDT, as good as the football can be, has shown a complete and total inability keep games close. Some of the worst performances of my lifetime have come under his tenure, which is frustrating because we can be so good. -

Don't be silly, we haven't got close to them at all. The red didn't help, but we were never getting a point. Another game where we haven't even attempted to play. -

Let's see what happens when they visit next week before gloating! -

The amount of times we seem to just flat out not bother is infuriating. -
v Leeds Utd (h) - 9/12/23
RTM08 replied to Chris Whittys Barber's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Yet another defeat. It's extremely worrying that we have a complete inability to do anything other than win or lose with this team, but JDT has been left to patch together out of squads from misfits and youth talent and with the injury list the options are limited. That said, I'd love to know how this treading water is supposed to do anything for us. We can sell some players off but that won't be reinvested properly and we can already see that the U21s we have can't compete because all their best players are in the first team. In the longer term the only way is down with such a lack of ambition. -
v Sheffield Wednesday (a) - 2/12/23
RTM08 replied to philipl's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
At the end of the day we lose far too many games to ever realistically challenge for promotion. Management are happy to let us tread water and eventually it will bite us. Utterly depressing. -

JDT has an appalling record in our derby games so far, let's hope for a change in fortune tonight! -

Is he a downgrade? They're both just awful in different ways I'd say -
v Norwich City (a) - 5/11/23
RTM08 replied to joey_big_nose's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
So we're in November and we still don't have a fit and/or capable striker. It's beyond a joke at this point how bad the recruitment process is. -
v Chelsea (a) - 1/11/23 - Carabao Cup
RTM08 replied to pick32's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
He's only new of course but the new keeper really isn't doing us any favours. Letting TK go was arguably more damaging than not getting a striker in. -
v Swansea (h) - 28/10/23
RTM08 replied to NeilInBristol's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I think the fact that neither of them ever seem anywhere near the first team says a lot about how well they're rated as signings. -

v Swansea (h) - 28/10/23
RTM08 replied to NeilInBristol's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
My Swansea supporting colleague will love this. Yet another game where we haven't even bothered turning up, could easily be 3 or 4 already. -
v Millwall (a) - 24/10/2023
RTM08 replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
When you only shop around in discount bins for players (or relying on kids) it's highly unlikely you'll do anything. We will never reach playoffs with the current regime in charge. -
v Coventry City (a) - 4/10/2023
RTM08 replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Yeah, good football isn't entertaining in the slightest if you lose every game and get relegated. Just ask Owen Coyle. -
v Coventry City (a) - 4/10/2023
RTM08 replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
We can forget about the playoffs this season. We're dire at both ends of the pitch and that is 100% at Venky's door. Though Broughton's signings have been largely pointless as well. -

This team is in a relegation fight, and I don't think any of the have the cajones for it -
v Leicester City (h) - 01/10/23
RTM08 replied to speeeeeeedie's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Can see JDT walking blaming the owners if this continues. Broughton/Waggott with more huge questions - yes we signed players but if they can't come into the team because they're either not good enough or permanently injured we'd have been better off not signing everyone. Absolutely sick of this era of the club - I'd consider League Two football for a bit if it meant getting competent owners who gave a damn. -

RTM08 replied to speeeeeeedie's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
He should have had an experienced CB to play there instead of another U21, but our management structure/owners are amateur at best. -

Awesome... so we get rid of one of the best keepers in the league so we're now left with 2 duds. Fan-flipping-tastic -

RTM08 replied to speeeeeeedie's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Shades of Coyle's Rovers at the moment. JDT has a lot of benefit from the doubt from the fan base but how many more batterings before that changes? -
v Leicester City (h) - 01/10/23
RTM08 replied to speeeeeeedie's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Was always going to happen. It's easy to forget how young he is and it's rare that players that age maintain performances over a long run of games. Could do with a rest but who do you even replace him with? -
v Leicester City (h) - 01/10/23
RTM08 replied to speeeeeeedie's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Important to note that both of those teams changed manager so not really the same as one team continuing to do the same thing. -
v Leicester City (h) - 01/10/23
RTM08 replied to speeeeeeedie's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Awful again. JDT wants to play good football but it just isn't sustainable with this squad and it becomes suicidal. We're leaking goals for fun and nothing seems to be changing. Can't expect to improve when you spend your limited budget on a bunch of sicknotes. -

RTM08 replied to speeeeeeedie's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Not necessarily comparing us to these teams but we're showing hallmarks of our last 2 relegation teams. Decent enough up top but leak goals for fun. That said, when your team relies entirely on freebies and kids it's inevitable that you'll get pulled down into a relegation fight eventually.
