I swear EastEnders has less drama than this club. We might as well have a cliffhanger 'doof doof' at the end of every night 🙃

Brilliant performance. Very enjoyable! Start them all vs Watford 🤣

To be fair, we took no long throws in yesterdays game. We are making progress. Oh wait, Miller wasn't playing. My bad.

You're all just jealous because Hayden missed the dire Rovers game and you had to put up with watching it 🤣 Personally, I'd make him captain. He's clearly smart.

IF the board keep Ismael then they should consider bringing in another coach that can point out what is going wrong or give him fresh ideas to work with. I'm not sure what the assistant manager, coaches or technical staff are saying behind the scenes (Maybe they are and he's ignoring them? Who knows!) but the fact is that nothing seems to be changing on the pitch to get the best out of what we have to work with. To us fans, we have called every bad decision before they've even acknowledged it. If we can see it, why can't they?

"Injuries mean Blackburn 'cannot compete' - Ismael" If semi-pro Macclesfield can compete and beat Premier League Crystal Palace then we should be able to compete against other Championship players. To me that is someone who is out of ideas and is not up for the challenge. Time to go.

I'm sure there is always input but at the end of the day it has to be Ismael's choice. He's the manager who's job is on the line. I think what the past few months have shown us is that he trusts what he trusts and isn't flexible enough. You'd think at 3-1 down, you'd have changed it with 30 mins to go because then you can see if something else works or clicks better. He brought on like for like replacements and continued to play the same.

We'll probably smash Watford 5-0 and he'll get awarded a 3 year contract. 🤣

I agree that injuries have affected the team, and we can sympathise with Val on that. But it’s hard to understand why he says that while still leaving out better players like Pickering and persisting with underperformers like De Neve. He’s sticking to a system that hasn’t worked in about 20 games, and any other manager would have adapted by now. The one piece of data they seem to be ignoring is the actual results on the pitch.

The only players who left with any sort of credit was the attitude shown by the young academy players. I felt sorry for the new signing. He at least showed he can be a threat up top. Seeing his old team smash Man City probably left him contacting a lawyer to see if there is a refund clause in his contract to send him back.

Hopefully we will not have anymore last minute issues with this transfer window. I read that Rovers have ditched the fax machine and have invested in AI on their computers. Unfortunately, a human error meant they ordered the wrong Al

It might be famous last words for me but I personally think Cashin just had a crap game. I like to think we'll see a better version of him soon. He was good at Derby and Brighton aren't mugs for buying poor players. He'll be disappointed, no doubt about it, so I hope that we'll see a good player soon.

This would be my team: GK: Toth RB: Alebiosu CB: O'Riordan CB: Cashin LB: Pickering DM: Tronstad CM: Baradji CM: Cantwell RW: Jorgensen LW: De Neve AT: Ohashi I wouldn't be against Atcheson replacing O'Riordan or McLoughlin replacing Cashin. Call me crazy but I also wouldn't be against playing Forshaw ahead of Baradji but that's just because I think Baradji has been poor and Forshaw is more consistent even if his ability is more restricted. The only reason i'd play De Neve is because Pickering is covering so he can just be more attacking and not focus on defending.

Pears misses tomorrow's game. Injured wrist apparently. Toth to start.

I know it sounds like an episode to 4,000 holes but does Aron Donnum have a Lambo? 😂
