I wasn't actually arguing with you, but as you seem to be spoiling for a fight then no, they werent quiet for "most of the game." Look at the times of the goals, look at the amount of time played and do the maths.

They did go very quite when we equalised until they went infront again. However early on and throughout that second half it was exceptional support. Loudest following at Ewood for some time I thought.

Imagine being relegated because someone couldn't click "send".

Birmingham will beat Norwich at home last day. Norwich will already be in the play offs and will make tons of changes like Huddersfield did last time we went down. With Wednesday having gone WDDW, I easily see them getting 4 points from here. I'm not even that confident another point saves us anymore from here unless QPR lose both.

Yeah I’m sure they'll be coming off Wembley no longer believing they can win at Ewood.

They weren’t.

Hate to break it to you but they don’t need 4 points if we don’t win another game. Birmingham just need to beat Huddersfield to pass us, and Wednesday need 1 win from either of their 2 remaining matches. Plymouth have a better goal difference so just need one draw from two OK fixtures. We could even be in the bottom 3 by 5pm next Saturday. I genuinely believe we need 50 points.

Just watched the 3 Forest penalties. The two fouls definitely are, and possibly the hand ball is as well. The problem is referees are too shit scared to give penalties now incase it’s over-ruled, so they just leave it to VAR. And in this case VAR is hiding behind the ‘not clear and obvious’ rule despite them being fairly clear. I’d love to take a forward make those challenges on a defender leading to a goal and the ref/VAR play on.

Coventry haven’t looked back since he left.

Reminder that when VAR was introduced, the developers said offsides dictated by the lines are only accurate to within 15cm So it killed the moment and there is no guarantee it was right.

Even taking the mistakes out, they worked far harder than us and had more of a gameplan. We just piss about with it in the hope Sammy makes a good run and we can release him. That’s it. That’s our plan.

Outthought and outfought. Most of them are spineless, but special mentions to Brittain, Hyam and Gallagher.

I wouldn’t be happy with a point and certainly would be going out to win it. It’s a game we really should be winning. However there is a big difference to the position we will find ourselves if we draw compared to if we lose. If there is 10 minutes left and it is 1-1, I wouldn’t be throwing the kitchen sink at it.

You can’t build a three man wall, split as the ball is kicked so that it is 4-man wide and put your arm out to fill the void you’ve made.

I’d be annoyed if I was Chelsea about not getting the handball penalty, but more annoyed that they have to persevere with Jackson up top.

Without points deductions there are clearly 3 that should be going down.

Which is massively important because it may be the difference between them bringing a small following, or this forum going into meltdown.

The Norwich & West Brom results today means if Coventry beat Hull at home in midweek they’ll still have a significant interest in the top6 when they come to Ewood.

Not really. If we lose tomorrow Birmingham and Wednesday would both only need 1 win from their 2 games to overtake us. A point on the other hand and I agree with you.

Great find by Bowyer. He still cost £200k and would have been on decent wages to get him away from Cardiff who had him in the Premier League on presumably a decent salary. I'd be surprised if that kind of overall outlay is available to us this summer. McGuire is 3 from 6 for Orlando since the January debacle. I've no idea whether he would cut it in the Championship, but I'd be gobsmacked if that got revisited.

Put these clubs in order of which you’d currently prefer to win the PL. (These are in my order) Arsenal Chelsea Newcastle Liverpool Man U City Spuds

Even if we take away Whitaker’s 19 for Plymouth and Stansfield’s 12 for Birmingham? Plus he’s only scored 24 in the league. But not taking your point literally, I know what you mean. Lose him and don’t replace with 2 other options and we have bug problems.

I'd have left the FA Cup and would have made the League cup a competition for non-European clubs. Gives the European clubs time off in October to February. It devalues the league cup further but does give non-Euro clubs a better chance of progression / Wembley. If you won it you would still be buzzing. It would probably lose its European place for the winner, although you could introduce an end of season play off between the League Cup Winners and the highest place Premier side that hadn't qualified for Europe for the final slot.

Which again based on population of the area is no better, and probably worse, than we get.
