We may get points v Millwall. That's it.

He is in any game after his first yellow. He has never learnt to temper his inherent rashness. That or he is just fucking thick which is just as likely.

He makes Moanbray look cheerful. But he is a decent manager that is a given.

Not if we are serious about a promotion challenge.

IMO that weakens us defensively in the hope that Zee can get some better crosses in. Personally I think he is an accident waiting to happen but hes got the shirt so good luck.

We are due a good performance and result on Sky. I hope it comes tonight in what I think will be a decent game. It will be essential for us to go for it from KO and to get the first goal. Forest are a well organised outfit but beatable at Ewood and we are probably a bit better than my usual half-empty view allows.

Forest getting the plaudits for the FA Cup win. It was against a weak and injury ravaged Leicester who were awful and gifted goals. We cannot be as bad as Leicester were. What concerns me is that Forest have quite a few who will put the boot in. I hope we can cope with that sensibly as in revenge is a dish best tasted cold. There is no one to fear in this bang average division which gives it it's 'competitive' image. Competitive doesn't mean good.

Our shot shy crew need more specialised practice. I am surprised how poor they are, side foots, leaning back etc. Get the head over and hit it hard, try on target and see what happens. Basic stuff.

STARTING

If Diaz turns up and if the rest realise that a goal is scored by kicking or heading the ball into the Forest net then at Ewood we can prevail. Just do not expose ZeeF at LB or LWB to Spence or he and us will be well screwed. Someone in our midfield will also be required to do a number on Garner because he will do on them. Finally when Giles is putting 50+ crosses in it is rather a good idea to have someone in the centre who is at least brave enough to head the ball and has some idea of where the goal if. I hope not to see our lot losing possession easily and jumping out of tackles. I also hope not to see JRC, vastly overrated shirt waster.

Kaminski made just 1 (one) save in the game and that was a header.

Buckley has been at Rovers since he was just 6 years old ... for 16 years, and in that time, despite a huge investment in him, no one has taught him how to take a shot at goal correctly, how to just do what should be a very basic thing to any professional footballer. Buckley is not alone. Travis is next to useless at taking a shot as is Rothwell, apart from the rare cracker that proves the law of averages. There are others .... It beggars belief.

Extended lowlights courtesy of Swansea. That miss by Lenihan was appalling and on a par with Buckleys. At their age I would have scored both with either foot. At 69 I can still kick a shot harder that Buckley, softie, the only time he tried to kick a hard shot he hurts his foot ...... What was ZeeF up to on their goal and where was the LWB? assuming ZeeF was the LB. OH and someone get ZeeF to pull up his bloody socks, he looks like a scruff having a kickabout.

Mowbray has been playing players out of position throughout his 5 years at Rovers. He really does believe that all the players he signs are totally versatile . Sadly he is mistaken but will not change. ZF will not be at LB or LWB if we are at full strength and thank TF for that as he would be rogered by any decent attacking side. Better than Nyambe? Sweet Jesus.

Very true. On chances we should have won. I can think of no excuse for the miss by Buckley. A shocker by any standard.

I've moved from Sky to ESPN. Cant be any worse.

Or Rothwell. Or both. Both are frustrated and petulant.

We are not good but should at least be level at HT. Our player who is most ill equipped to be any sort of a striker is played as a false 9 and we lump balls back to front. Hard to believe but true I thought Hedges put a decent shift in.

See through shin pads?

Stupid fucker Buckley. Like a friggin infant.

Me too TBH

Ours is a bloody great away kit

This game is on a lot of international tv https://m.livesoccertv.com/match/4039419/swansea-city-vs-blackburn-rovers/

I have never seen Hedges or Giles play so all new for me. Pleased that they not 5' 6''ers though. COYB

Not enough, despite being cheered on by Villa and then playing a Brentford team already on the beach.
