Completely agree. Whenever I met him he struck me as an extremely knowledgeable football person.

Here's a fun fact. In our last 20 games - Tronstad and Gudjohnsen have both started 5 times (and we've won all 5). Of the 15 games where they didn't both start, we've not won a single one. Guaranteed home win.

According to Wiki: Coyle: P37 W11 D8 L18 Ismael: P37 W11 D9 L17 Scarily similar.

I'm not sure how much traction a boycott of the Watford game will get. Sheffield Wednesday did it well though. It needs media coverage. They'll report the attendance figure with season tickets included so the numbers won't look horrendous. I was looking round the ground today and noticed how much the stewards/police stand out in high vis jackets. Maybe everyone could start to turning up to games in high vis vests if they want Venkys out. It'd look like we just had a crowd full of stewards on TV.

I heard someone behind the Blackburn End after the game today say something along the lines of: "It's not Venkys fault we can't spend, it's FFP" It's a shame FFP only applies to Rovers. Hard to see how we get rid of these idiots when we have fans who can't see the problems.

I think Cantwell is really talented - but I just can't take to him. I feel like he doesn't want to be here. I saw a few players signing autographs before the game (with my son). Some of the players are really engaging with the young fans, it always seems like a chore to him. He's not the sort of player you need captaining you in a relegation battle either. The atmosphere was completely flat again. It's crying out for a player to put a few thumping challenges in and get the crowd revved up (I'm not suggesting Cantwell is the man to do this). Miller looks the only one capable of doing this, but he is so technically poor it's untrue. If you could combine Cantwell and Miller into one player - you'd have a gem. If you're reading this Rudy, I mean Cantwell's technique and Miller's aggression/drive. Having seen what you've signed so far, I'm fully expecting you to find someone with the reverse qualities.

Prior to today, I've been saying he's the worst player I've seen in a Rovers shirt. I felt sorry for him today. He worked hard in my opinion, but only got 26 touches of the ball. He's clearly not a striker and the service to our front men is non existent.

Not a lot of difference when Cantwell plays or not. Tronstad is more noticeable.

The club are introducing half season tickets. They aren't like the standard half season tickets though. With these, you're guaranteed to see half a match before it's rained off.

Pickering is being left out for none footballing reasons surely?

Anyone tried buying tickets for this today? I've been unable to purchase all day - tried different computers/internet connections.

They clearly state it's a digital representation of the shirt. It's not fraud.

Miller and Carter sounds like an interesting partnership. I fear it will be rare when we see it. Miller looks like he's got a missteak in him.

Just realised these bellends have owned us for 10% of our history.

I'm not sure who they are targeting. The sort of Rovers fan that read the LET will be of an age where they're a long established supporter (ie. not a child), that isn't going to change which club they follow.

We are underperforming compared to our xg. Interesting that Derby are actually over performing - lowest xg in the division.

One thing I've just remembered. What on earth are our goal kicks about?

Correct. This is not a squad with pace. (You can add De Neve to that short list)

That starting eleven today is one of the slowest I've ever seen. Alebiosu aside - all of them are slow. Cantwell looking for runners from Gudjohnsen, Moreshita and Hedges. Looked much better when Kargbo and De Neve came on, but that starting eleven had no pace going forward.

Cantwell would look even better if he had some decent players around with him with a bit of pace.

1 wasn't it?
