Well it’s been a shit game, which we’re leading courtesy of a bit of a luck. If we could somehow see this out it would be huge. Two poor teams on show!

Just been looking at these claims - not sure they stack up that well so far:

Last season after 22 games:

This season after 22 games:

In terms of points, the current top 6 is within a point of last season - though I doubt anyone will be getting near Fulhams goals tally.

Well one thing I did say at the start of the season is your lot would do well, only thing I’ve got right it seems, wish it wasn’t 😂

Perfect game to right a few wrongs, a win would be amazing to give us a bit of momentum over the festive period, a loss at home to this lot would be absolutely disastrous. Big big game. COYB

I don't think the prices are extortionate at all. £400 over a season and the fact I can fully committed to all 23 league games which makes a ST cheap for me and the best option for myself

Except every other club in the area was charging considerably less than us with their early bird prices? If our season tickets were £800 you’d still defend the club so it’s a pointless discussion with you Chaddy my mate.

What a game! Incredibly 3-3! 2 quick goals from Cameroon. 2nd goal probably fractionally off-side but how could Serbia leave the centre of their defence wide open twice in a few minutes when 2 goals ahead?

Loving this one.

How good was that chip? Pure filth.

Disagree with all the negativity. USA are a pretty good side. Hell most of them play in England anyway. 

Because we play against players from the same league, I fear that we may bomb against Wales. Rather play against total foreigners with foreign styles.

Wales are shite. As awful as we were tonight we’ll beat them.

How do you think that will go down with the poor bastards who are having to decide wether to put food on the table or put the heating on or maybe treat their kids to a trip to Ewood over Xmas ? I was thinking of taking my grandson to a game. It can wait now.

99% of footballers not at the World Cup and on a break will be on holiday now as we speak. It is what it is unfortunately.

Nice to see that Dom Hyam has taken yesterday's defeat well enough to piss off to Dubai for some winter sun.

They’re on a break for a couple of weeks, don’t tell me you wouldn’t do the same. Don’t be that guy mate come on.

I’ve got my doubts and nothing today has made me think again. He’s not getting the best out of what we’ve got so far.

In certain games he’s definitely not getting the best out of what we’ve got, but what we have got as a squad is a mid table championship team with one class player who scores goals out of nothing at times, we’re 3rd in the league which with the squad we have is an over achievement if anything.

Agreed.

JDT turned down Champions League football to come and sit on a cushy number at Ewood Park. He's definitely not an ambitious personality - you can see that by his so-so playing career and walking away from Malmo after winning back to back titles looking for a bigger and better opportunity.

He's just topping up his pension fund, the bastard. 

So-so playing career? The guy won a champions league and is joint top scorer for his country! 😂 Today was a disgrace and he should rightfully be taking a bit of slack for that, but for me he’s still the right man for the job and I’ll be backing him until that changes. Third in the league with a squad that should be nowhere near that position. 

I’m so glad, JDT’s a Blue, I’m so glad, he hates the dingles too. JDT said to me we’re going to the Premier League, you know he said so. I’m in love with him and I feel fine

My view we got a substantial fee for him at the market value when he was sold. Anyone who thinks that Rovers sold a player for a paltry amount when those involved knew his marketable value are daft. I don’t see Brentford coming in, with their astute knowledge, with a bigger offer and indeed no one else in the real football world made any offers especially th3 biggest 15 clubs in the PL, neither did any team from overseas! Then we buy TK for a nominal fee and for me he is a far better keeper and will represent a huge investment when he is sold. 
 

So it does seem someone knows about transfers at the club!

Tom Cairney? 24/25 years old and one of the best midfielders in the championship at the time and we barely got 3 million for him. That was a shocker you can’t defend that one pal. 

25/1? Printing money lads. Call me @Mercer and thank me later 😉

WE ARE FUCKING MASSIVE

QPR Hudds result just shows that our win against the Terriers wasn't as unimpressive as some made out

Ryan Dilks hates Rovers. If you know, you know.

It’s official, the winner of the El Lanclassico will be top of the league going into the WC break. What a massive game that is on Sunday, I won’t be sleeping till then that’s for sure. Bring em on!!

No excuses for this game - we are playing bottom of the league at home.

It has to be a nailed on three points.

 

Going to have to be a fairly big stake to make some good money this weekend Merce at that price. How much you putting down? 

If you don’t laugh you’ll cry

My apologies for stating a fact.

The three straight defeats followed three straight wins at the very start of the season but ever since then we have bounced back with a win whenever we’ve lost. We’ll win on sat 👍🏻

Rovers have been poor today and deserved nothing for the game. Created very little, Passing poor as I have seen first half. Not really created a clear-cut chance all night. No standout performance from any player. Subs too late for, should have been on early. Travis at right wing back didn't get forward at all.

Hopefully Hedges and Gallagher is back for Huddersfield game. I would go back to playing 4-2-3-1 formation and Bring Pickering back in for Ayala, Travis for Hedges, Vale for Gallagher. So, my team would be Kaminski; Brittain, Hyam, Wharton, Pickering; Morton, Wharton; Hedges, Szmodics, BBD; Gallagher

Ayala starts over Wharton if you’re moving to a 4. Him and Hyam is the best centre half pairing in this division, Scotty was awful tonight so if you are going to a 4 he has to drop out. And there’s no way JDT drops our captain. Kaminski, Brittain, Hyam, Ayala, Pickering, Travis,Morton, Szmodics, Hedges, Gally, Diaz for me 🙂

No we haven't, we lost three in a row a while back.

In the game I watched Szmodics gave the ball away countless times, couldn't pass wind and easily brushed of the ball.

He was still better than Travis, Hirst and Vale combined.

SW was shocking too 

AW was our best player but even he was missing for the first 15 minutes and then left early.

Morton played well and BBD put a shift in against the odds in that he rarely got a decent pass.

 

That’s what I was saying in regards to Szmodics, other than a couple of loose passes and that moment where he got dispossessed and Coventry broke away he did actually show some good moments at times and there were certainly 4 or 5 others out there tonight a hell of a lot worse than him. Scott Wharton that first half, Jesus he could only find a sky blue shirt.
