Crying shame to see PL pitches/other Championship matches going ahead. It's teeming down in City's match, yet the pitch is holding up well.

Bang average.

Well, a draw was the best we could hope for. Second best. TM all over. He's well overdue his departure.

Thank John!!

Both.

Half time team talk isn't working.

Incredibly poor performance so far. Stoke the better team, could be three down. TM looks pathetic in his seat.

Sucker punch, as usual.

Agree, but he hasn't set the bar high!

Rothwell injured by the pitch!

Dack down, not good.

On the back foot already, Dack's free kick goes all the way back, from an attacking position.

It's the BloJo effect.

Knock down the Riverside and build an executive row of houses, I know a few on here who would be keen, Mercer drinking a Chateauneuf-du-Pape on the veranda?

He did let Donny beat us though.

After ten years or so of total mismanagement, from the owners down, with the odd exception, those nominally in charge, middling managers, and chancing agents, idiots and those that have completely made easy money (cough, Murphy etc), we have been dumped out of the FA Cup. As proud winners of six of these, we went out with a whimper. Irrespective of our current manager, we are in a critical and terrible time in our World, and as a result we are confined to home, and cannot watch what's on show, save via streams and ifollow!. At least we have football to watch. But not as we know it (some reference to Spock, or someone similar). Our club is seemingly in one of those shark baths, that formaldehyde so loved by Damian (not my mate on here), that keeps us suspended in mid-table mediocrity in perpetuity so that we can dream of groundhogs. With little prospect of going back to our beloved (decrepit) Ewood any time soon, what are fan's thoughts? I am in tier eight, vaccine sometime in the middle of summer. The rates are frightening, I can't see fans returning until next season. That is, August/September? We as fans are watching turgid fayre in the meantime. The club is quiet, the pitch is a field, the outskirts need serious attention. I see lots of folk on here very disillusioned about the future. I know it is our club, but I still hate the owners, despite their deep pockets, because they have no idea where to go with all this. I'm sure fans will go back when allowed. We crave live sport. But, our club is becalmed, owner/manager and management are hopeless. Where will we be after all of this, what will be the fan base be?

My view exactly. No passion, no anger at the defeat, no responsibility for it, no apology. It's embarrassing at worst, pathetic at best. We are a hollow club, with owners who bank roll the club for the only reason to save face. It's another low. God knows who would turn back up if allowed. Under this, I wouldn't.

I'd like to think I've been very consistent throughout the Loons tenure, in that as they have not one iota of an idea about football, no connection with our town, and bugger all nous, TM will be here at the end of the season. They will have no idea about the history of the FA Cup, we've won it six times, only club to win it three times consecutively, and it could be a nice little earner for them. Blind leading the blind.

Defeat, and TM should walk.

The pitch is straight out of the 70's. We've had chances, but this is abject.

After all that, their keeper performs heroics.

Unlucky from Downing's corner.

Terrible mistake.

Glad it's free to watch.

Good save from Pears.
