v Coventry City (h) - 27/4/24

10mins and a goal would be enough, we need to go for it. -

Sammie is the only one who doesn't need 10 seconds to decide what to do when he gets within 30yds of the opposition goal, it's infuriating. -

So close! Thought he'd blown it and inches away - come on lads. -

FFS they're all so scared of shooting! -

Kyle McFadzean has been really good today, I've been critical of him but he made that red card and he's been pushing all game. -

It's the kind of thing that I'd more understand in the 85th minute, rather than the 50th. -

Weds 2-0 up. Interesting how all these other clubs improved after changing managers but we seemingly got worse. -

I agree it isn't a red, but why give the referee the decision to make? It was completely unnecessary from everyone involved. -

What a clown, I know we were all for passion but what on earth was that. Get him out the club, utter moron. -
v Coventry City (h) - 27/4/24
RTM08 replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Oh 100%, and here is where all this nonsense about "building a sustainable model" falls apart - we never, ever reinvest to replace what we lose properly. We just hope that someone is going to score an absurd amount of goals compared to their history. We're bloody lucky Sammie stepped up because without him I'm confident we'd be lucky to be competing with Rotherham. -

First half could have been worse, but I really don't get any sense of urgency in this squad and with results as they are that couldn't be much worse, A Plymouth goal now and we're in big, big trouble. -

That is a honking line up, very much an expect the worst, hope for the best scenario regardless of how tired Coventry are. -
The Summer Transfer Window (Press Submit)
RTM08 replied to RoversClitheroe's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
If we were a normal club, I'd be saying we shouldn't go near a new deal for him. However, our alternative will probably be a 14 year old skipping school so it might be the better option. -
v Coventry City (h) - 27/4/24
RTM08 replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
We just need to get the points we need, secure our place for next season and then we can get on with the biannual transfer window debacle. -
John Eustace - our head coach
RTM08 replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Very few of our players offer more than very little, while there are a few that offer less than even that. -
v Coventry City (h) - 27/4/24
RTM08 replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I'm not so sure the Cov result really does help us to be honest. We struggle against everyone, but we especially struggle to break down teams who sit back, which a tired side are more likely to do. They have nothing to play for, but in recent history Rovers only turn up if we have nothing to play for. -
Might be for the best for O'Riordan honestly. Him not playing means he can't be tainted with the stink that comes off of this squad at the moment, I would expect to see more of him next seasons, especially if we go down.

The Aynsley Pears depreciation thread.
RTM08 replied to Neal's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Pears has that one game in 10 where he looks like prime Buffon, but in the other 9 he ranges from a steady championship keeper to a Sunday League bench player. Unfortunately, the latter almost always comes up in key matches where we're expected to do well, like yesterday. Was barely qualified to be on the bench when we signed him and should never have been a number 1 at this level. Whoever made the decision to keep him in (JDT or otherwise) last season needs to give their head a wobble. -
John Eustace - our head coach
RTM08 replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I guess the argument is less that the replacement would be ineffective, but more that he wouldn't have been replaced at all. I don't know what happened to Harry Leonard, but he'd have got a couple in the last month I'd have thought. -
We are going down (the pessimism thread)
RTM08 replied to simongarnerisgod's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Interestingly, though Hyam was also at fault, the first one to me is worse - because he keeps doing it. I can't remember who but someone posted a short video of I think 5 examples of howlers he has made this season, and 3 of the 5 were him thundering out of the box, heading it to the opposition and getting lobbed. Once is a mistake, three plus times is a pattern. I said at the time that Pears and Hyam shared the blame and I still stand by that assessment, if not more so now I've seen that clip. -
John Eustace - our head coach
RTM08 replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Well, he managed to grind out a result last week and then yet again when the impetus is on him he completely fails to deliver. 2 wins in 15, 0 wins at home with some abysmal football to boot. The "pragmatic" approach is fine is you're actually getting points but we're doing nothing to try to win. At this point he's basically Gareth Ainsworth with better PR. -
We are going down (the pessimism thread)
RTM08 replied to simongarnerisgod's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
What a result does eh? I was fully accepting of going down after the Bristol game, and then conceded that the Leeds game would change things and then that happens. We desperately need Huddersfield to beat Brum now, but whether we go down or not there needs to be a massive overhaul in the summer - I'm struggling to think of 5 people (players or staff) who deserve to be here next season. -
v Coventry City (h) - 27/4/24
RTM08 replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
One of two things happens here: 10% chance: We get battered and grind out a point or three 90% chance: Cov barely turn up, we also don't turn up, we gift them 2 or 3 goals without them having to bother. -
Ultimately the only person in the squad who deserves the captaincy in Sammie. The fact that he has to watch this clown lead the team out game after game and put in the performances he is doing must be killing him. The second Carter was back Hyam should have been dropped, but no one at this club has the cojones to do what is right for the club at any point.
