We can only hope - but who would they get in ?

My worse defeat was City away when we got beat 6-0, this felt a hell of a lot worse

If he has any integrity he would step down - but expect him in the dug out come Saturday

Defensively he hasn't been great

Would have been different if it had hit his hand 🤣

Just prior to being clattered I could swear he knocked on with his hand

Did Wilson not hand ball prior to red card ?

To be honest I think this comparison between JRC and Nyambe is valid (in terms of attacking ability versus defensive ability) - for me Buckley is just too easily out muscled playing at right back. Especially defending wingers coming in on the back post for headers - can you imagine him defending against somebody like Diaz ?

Make more money out of us ? There have been a number of people that jumped on the gravy train on the back of the club - but the owners are unlikely to ever show any profit out of Rovers.

Why - they can do what they want anyway - they don't need to hive off to a separate business to do that. The reason they couldn't sell the STC in the first place were nothing to do with it being part of Blackburn Rovers. I am not an accountant - but can't see why this makes it any better or any worse than it already was.

TBH - Mowbray was right to complain about the added time - doesn't matter which team is doing the time wasting - it should still be added time. Having said that - it was the only thing Mowbray got right all night.

For me - Edun was very mixed - eventually got to grips with their attacker - but some scary moments prior to doing so. Having said that - some aspects of his play showed promise.

Yet again another inconsistent referee. Thought our latest loan centre half looked OK- against a centre forward well versed in the dark arts. Better officials would have picked up on their forward constantly pulling at his shirt. You can tell why Coventry are doing well - but what a nasty, niggly team. In truth we gifted them the point - we were keeping them at arms length until Gallagher decided to miss place an easy pass. Buckley was having a really good match until he fell foul of the referees inconsistencies. After which his influence waned. I would have substituted him at half time. Love to know what Butterworth has done wrong - but Poveda did very little when he came on.

Keep reading about him having a resell clause. We paid well over the odds for him when we bought him - whoever negotiated the transfer from Rovers really need to be brought to account if it is anything more than 10%

Rev - what is his contract situation - seen lots of talk of us having a 1 year option ? Personally I hadn't seen that mentioned by the club - who gave the distinct impression this was his last contracted year.

Why snarky - you said we had a better option - I bowed to your greater knowledge of a player I haven't seen play in either full back position.

Normally I would be insulted by this - but seeing as it is you and having read your previous opinions, it really isn't worth the bother.

Lol 😆 I struggle how you think me comparing last night to last season is in any way saying Mowbray did great. Having said that it was past your bed time so you were possibly too tired to read to the end of my post 😉 Resident contrarian made me laugh - football is about opinions - obviously ours don't match.

I have never seen Edun play his normal position of left back - let alone right back. So I bow to your superior knowledge on Edun playing out of position. Magloire was out muscled for their goal - but where was Carter or Ayala ? The change of shape actually worked for a while. We always struggle against teams playing 3 at the back - matching the formation is one approach. TBH this match reminded me of last season - a plucky effort, odd good spells, but ultimately getting beat by the odd goal.

Which right wing back did we get ? Also - there were lots of mistakes besides Buckleys including Kaminski who could have done better.

And replaced with ? Mistake that "eventually" resulted in a goal apart he has played ok.

Just to add a hint of realism - the only team in form we have played so far has been WBA - who should have won by far more than 2-1. Anything can happen in this league - and confidence goes a long way - but still three points away from relegation rather than an end of season top 6 finish at the moment for me.

I thought it was just me with a tear in my eye 🙂 - it was a dream that many Rovers fans thought they would never see. I can remember going into every match expecting us to win - what a team, what a management team and the best owner ever.

Neither are reported as fully fit - if that is the case, would make sense

Akpan was the midfield equivalent of Gallagher - he could "trap" the ball further than I can kick it.
