Jinxed us there didn't you 🤔

What a brilliant pass from Travis.

Gotta say the best transfer swap we have ever done has to be swapping Brereton for Diaz - we definitely got the better player 🤣

Managers come and go - I'll not be stopped going by TM

Are we really treading water - or slowly drowning ? We have a fan base in terminal decline, huge debts and a manager who is quickly alienating large parts of the fan base. I would also argue that his recent comments and the biggest home defeat in our history are a million miles away from a steady hand. I appreciate there is a possibility of "be careful what you wish for" - but the club is going stale, the owners are going nowhere - at least a change of manager might reignite the fan base and possibly the players.

We didn't even give them a good game for the first 5 minutes

Drivel

Just read this about Ayala "As I keep saying, I’m not the doctor, I’m not the physio. We’ll wait and see how quickly he recovers." I may be old fashioned - but surely a good manager would speak to his Physio/Doctor so he knows this information ? Surely this is part of team preparation and forward planning to know this information ?

His words are shocking - the majority of fans stayed behind the team far more than they deserved on Wednesday. TM has had far more support from the fans at Ewood than he deserves - and yet he is basically questioning their loyalty because some have dared to question him or his tactics. Somebody needs to make him sit through 90 minutes of him driving his team on - and see if he can stay awake - several times on Wednesday he actually turned his back on them. This is the worst spin interview since the days of Kean. It is such a shame - he actually did a reasonable job (up to last season where he failed miserably) - but is just past his sell by date. All his talk of integrity etc is being shown to be a sham. Having said that - I wouldn't walk out of my job without a pay-off - and it would appear that is what TM is aiming for.

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.
