Not sure. This is reminiscent of that Hull fixture. They were tripe as well.

Do you already have sky sports? If so then there's is no charge.

I think We've strangely got a chance here cos Birmingham blow lukewarm and cold.

I got it but a lot of the questions seemed to be aimed at walk ons rather than season ticket holders.

A team in worse form than us with worse striking options than us. Bearing in mind there is no way he will start DG at Preston, he will probably give him a runout here. I wouldn't be surprised if we scored a couple tomorrow, although that could still lead to any of the three possible results.

I think I'd hoped Johnson would solve that problem but, as you say, he doesn't have the stamina to keep at it for 90 minutes. Another thing I noticed yesterday is the Holtby is a very good footballer but he also didn't appear to be the quickest.

I'd now vote to sack Mowbray. But before I do I want legislation passing which ensures the same funding for players which Mowbray has had continues on to the next manager, and that the next manager must have had a promotion on his CV in the last 6 years. In those circumstances, and following inevitable events at Preston next week, I'd vote for him to be out by October 31st.

He was good on the ball. However, off the ball in the second half, he was so slow to get back into position or close down. Especially noticeable once Trav went off.

Just to cut out 5 pages of analysis, you are basically saying if they do not sack Mowbray then Venkys / Waggot don't want to try to go up?

Usual defensive masterclass. Graham will still be better than Gallagher when he's 44, let alone 34.

I've never heard any booing against Bennett in the Blackburn End.

Exactly. I don't go because its a game against Preston FC. I go because I can get dropped off in Preston in about 20 minutes, there are plenty of decent pubs and even though the locals really want to beat us they are generally friendly. It's just a good day out. I also don't think we are the lambs to the slaughter some are making us out to be.

So basically your point is that we might as well give up because if fans aren't going to return after spending £10 to come to a celebratory party atmosphere in the sun, then a "£45 for 3-game" offer in the bleak late-Autumn is not going to attract anyone to come long term. I disagree. I think filling the ground for several one-off occasions will get people used to going to Ewood and may catch the imagination of younger fans who don't attend regularly. I don't have the figures but I'm sure season tickets and walk ons increased last year compared to the League One season. For all you know a lot of those extra fans in the Championship last season only attended one game in League One - Oxford. Doing a special deal to try and fill the home ends once or twice a season cannot be a bad thing, but those offers have to be things like Boxing Day or Preston / Leeds at home on a Saturday. A dead-rubber at home to QPR on a Tuesday night in April doesn't get people's interest the same.

Last year, and I presume this year, we were category D at Sheff weds. The ticket price last season , confirmed on the opening page of the match thread on this board back in March, was £33. We know Leeds is extortionate, but that charge at Elland road is being used by Waggot to justify fleecing Sheff Weds fans purely because they may bring a full house.

Again, last year we charged Wednesday £30 to come to Ewood. They then charged us £33 to go to Hillsboro. 10 months later we are charging them £40 to come to Ewood I don't know what the cost for previous away trips to Sheffield Wednesday were, but it's becoming a myth that we are simply 'matching their prices' for this fixture. We aren't. We are just fleecing other working class fans.

The fact Rovers fans may not need to pay them surely makes it more petty.

£33 for us at Hillsborough last year so we charge them £40 !!! Typical Waggot ploy to try and get away with fleecing the fans and the 'tit for tat' is being used to try and justify it.

I feel sorry for the Sheffield Wednesday fans who p, looking online, are quite rightly stunned at being charged £42 to attend Ewood.

Tickets on general sale tomorrow.

Both Olsson's are unattached at the moment and either could be brought in. Therefore we have an expensive option and a cheaper option !!! Siurely it makes sense in this scenario. As for Lenihan, that's a blow but I would probably have been starting Williams / Tosin at centre half. Nyambe / Tosin / Williams / Martin Olson would probably be a better defence than what we have been playing with !

They avoided relegation from league one on goal difference.

Plymouth at home in league one. was the most one sided game I've seen under TM. However we only hit the target 4 times and ended up drawing 1-1.

I get your point, but we can hardly complain attendances are falling if we accept a full season of mediocrity at the start of October.

Unless someone can show otherwise, I find our short passes are being knocked around between our own back four, or in midfield 50 yards from the opposition goal. Most teams can knock it around at the back and increase their pass stats if they don't try and push forward. The problem is a lot of the time, unless we catch teams on the break, we only looked effective when we fire a long ball in to Graham and play off it. We've tried to change it as Grahams time is drawing to a close but it simply hasn't worked.
