Radio Lancs have had the benefit of seeing replays  and said it was 100% red card. No doubt about it.

Looked it from my view. Early sub for Luton. 

Plenty of the ball but no end product.

As mentioned Butterworth looks like he may start with TM saying in training he shoots with either foot and can smell opportunities. We need these new strengths on the pitch not just in training.

Just watched “ Fever Pitch - The Rise Of The Premier League “. Very interesting.

Love the bit when Jack starts to show interest with people around country not knowing where Blackburn is.

Brings it back to know how good it felt to be Champions of England!

How on earth is the Gov going to police the 10k vaccine passport?

So far disappointed we haven't got a striker in yet

!00% agree but the truth will never come out as to what went wrong.

It's obvious imo & probably among most that Obafemi doesn't want to come. He's had a sniff at premier football and doesn't want to let go hoping there's still a chance he can make it. Quality footballer he may be but no point us having an unhappy player who can't make a decision on his future.   

WBA were allowed three times yesterday to dry the ball for long throws using clothing thrown from their fans. Yet the ref prevented our kit man, also against WBA (but irrelevant), to pass a towel our keeper. 

Think the EFL should look into this. It they are to dry the ball use a towel provided by the club. Nothing should be thrown in from the crowd.

Is that the height of our ambitions!?

Feck me, think Mowbray has done some job on our fans.

 

Didn't mention ambitions! Don't misunderstand me up Mercer, I've been there home and away for decades and can see the bigger picture. The season has started so I'm right behind the team regardless of who the manager is.

Like I said Mowbray should have been potted a long time ago and with a new manager in post we could have been looking towards the top end of the division. But lets see it as it is, Mowbray's been given the green light to stay and have another go this season having failed in previous seasons - understatement. 

We've lost a top goal scorer along with other senior players to start a season with 20 players, plus two long-term injuries, who aren't all Championship ready and will add a further 6 untested players. I'm being realistic when I say we can avoid relegation this season.

That lad works his socks off, is your seat facing the pitch?

West Brom are quite simply on another level, premiership money and all that, they'll go up this season, we put up a decent fight and matched them at times.

But keep blaming the manager, then the next manager, then the next, whilst ignoring the Balaji in the room.

 

Cracking response Gav. 

Apart from another West Brom error we were never going to score. I'd have got rid of Mowbray ages ago but too late now, we go with what we have and get behind the team. Thought we did that today even though behind for over 89 minutes of normal time. 

Clarkson looks good, Carter is learning, Kaminski is outstanding and kept us in the game. Both Lenihan & Ayala do gel and the longer they play together the better they'll be. Fact everyone knows is squad is too small but get the right additions and we can stay in this division.

Clarkson off

Lenihan should have put that on Nuttall street 

Ayala & Lenihan won that game for us both in goals and defending.

Diaz quiet but pleased that Chapman played a part and should be part of the team on Saturday.

No more Dolan as Centre Forward Mowbray, how many times do you need telling.

Great support from Rovers fans.

7 points from 9 is a very good start to season........joint top! 

how long added ? 

5 mins

Goalllll!!!!!!!

Why Rothwell and not Buckley?

 

Saving him for weekend game.

Travis must "play the game". If injured when winning go down for treatment. That goal could have been prevented.

No bite up front with little Dolan.

Idiots!

Who's playing RB - Carter?

Yeah. Doing ok. Tends to come out with a long ball looking for for a tall forward but Dolan no threat.

Dolan needs to work harder on shooting.

Any guess?

What a joke Radio Lancs is saying 11 is the latest score when reading out today's results.

Good point despite lack of shots. Hope Rothwell is ok
