That's excellent, to be fair. Let's hope that continues as we might be scoring less now that our main source of goals is injured.

Complete non performance so far, thought we’d moved on from first half non events at Ewood.

2006! Tugay leaving Gerrard on his backside. Splendid. The Liverpool FA Cup Quarter Final replay in 2015 was a sell out, but I think the attendance was 28,000 ish - I may be wrong but from memory we decided to cordon off the last block of the Riverside and/or the JW Lower corner next to the Darwen End, as you do....

Whenever you get managers hiding behind a 'long-term project' (or just as bad, if they talk about needing time to implement their 'philosophy') when doing poorly then you may as well get rid right now. Derby were dreadful at Ewood a few weeks ago and by the sounds of it have got even worse since, so given they've been one of the better Championship teams over the last few years you'd have to think he'd be on thin ice....

Does the end of March still count as the festive season?

Rosado came on one game (think Huddersfield away under Berg) and did look like he at least had some idea. Edinho on the other hand just looked like a little school kid out there.

It really isn't that hard to understand. Was promotion (however it came - whether it be 1st, 2nd, play offs) the priority? Of course. Once promotion was secured with a couple of games to spare, would it have made sense to then try and win the league? Yes. Surely any team would want to be crowned the best in the league.

Indeed. Jason Lowe, now playing for a team sat bottom of League One with two points, shaking his head at Ruben Rochina, now a regular for a mid-table La Liga side. Go on Ruben lad.

Fulham will be nowhere near automatic promotion if they keep Parker in charge.

Just had a watch of our boy Jordan's hat-trick today. First and third goals were very good. First goal in particular was the type of goal you associate with him, instinctive finish right in the corner.

Madness! We never seem to win when we score early away, let’s hope that changes.

Make no mistake, it's not been the best decade for Rovers. In the 90s there'd have obviously been plenty of candidates for this. 2000s likewise - Friedel and Tugay both had pretty much the whole decade with us, while we had good, solid PL players like Nelsen, Emerton, Pedersen, Dunn etc with us for years. Bit trickier between 2010 and now. Dunn was with us for half of it but probably also spent half that time unavailable, Rhodes was here for three and half years and more than did his bit. Conway will go down as a decent player for us, Hanley was a decent regular for years but meh....I guess Dack's had an excellent couple of years so far......what are we saying?

Six hours ago Rovers tweeted that 650 had been sold, and given they went off sale at 3pm I doubt it ended up much higher than that.

Agreed. If we win on Saturday or get a draw (assuming we don't throw away a two-goal lead to draw or anything like that) then last night is fine. Especially with winnable, back-to-back home games to follow. Lose on Saturday though and it would have been a disappointing few days truth be told.

Get in! Sound dreadful on red button, hardly working at all....

This guy is a serious baller. Oozes class.

Well done Rovers! Tosin colossal.

Derby are horrific, we have to be winning this. Had zero confidence Armstrong would score there but my god what a feeble effort.

COYB!

I wouldn’t say Rothwell is a ‘fancy pants type’ at all, unless that’s the new name we’re giving players that have noticeably more technical ability than most in the squad. He’s quick, direct, plays firm, crisp passes like he really means it and he wasn’t half getting stuck in against Brentford too. He’s shown in his one run of being a regular starter, at the end of last season, that he chip in with goals too. If Mowbray keeps him in the team, I’m sure it won’t be long until he bags.

Looking forward to this one, but then again I was looking forward to Luton at home earlier in the season after winning consecutive games. Bearing that in mind, and also what we did at Brentford last season after winning four in a row, it’s hard to be too optimistic but let’s hope for different this time around. They’re clearly not great and they’ve got one of the worst away records in the league. Let’s get at them from the start with ideally the same eleven as the last two games.

Miles better that was. Absolutely miles better. We looked a completely different team to the dour, uninspiring outfit we’ve become accustomed to seeing at Ewood. Rothwell superb. Cannot believe we’ve had a player as good as he is on our bench most weeks for the past season and half. Haven't seen him mentioned much but well done to Tosin whose composure and use of the ball is excellent for a centre back. Will Mowbray learn from this? Will Rothwell become a permanent fixture in the starting eleven now? Will Nyambe get more of a look in? (I’d have Nyambe starting every game but I can’t see him having Bennett on the bench much). Let’s hope so but proof will be in the next few line ups.

It was only ‘Mowbray sort it out!’. Blimey, but he really must have taken offence..... Far better managers have had similar - can remember a couple of ‘Big Sam, sort it out’ chants in his full season here. Ended up 10th in the Premier League of course.....

Delighted Dack keeps popping up with goals, we’d be screwed without him, but I can barely remember him touching the ball apart from that. We know what he can do with the ball, we know he can get on it and use it well, but we’re getting barely anything out of him in general play. Same with Holtby. He sprayed a couple of nice balls out to the left in the first half but barely anything apart from that. With his pedigree against a poor side sitting at the bottom of the league, we should be getting more than that. Of course it doesn’t help when we give said poor side all the ball in the second half and allow them to play in our half.

Complete shambles.
