Can we claim that as a shot?

Any why on earth is Trav still on? We’re getting nothing from this game. He’ll get frustrated and get at least a yellow. Save him for the home matches where we may actually turn up.

Gallagher left wing crossing it in to two guys who who can’t be more than 5’8. Mowbray logic.

Khadra off. He’s been just as bad as the rest of them, but you surely leave him on as he could produce something. Take Pickering off, Giles to LWB. But nah, take off the only bloke who has got in positions to score since BBD got injured.

Summed up by him trying to control it with his right foot there and knocking it out for a throw. Mowbray for the love of God do not let us get bent over again here for another tubbing. Change things at the break - we’re getting run ragged all over the pitch and haven’t even had a shot on target.

What has Mowbray learnt from the 7-0 defeat last time out? Answer: f*ck all. Embarrassing display against this lot once again. Get Trav off before he’s booked and at least show a bit of fight second half lads. Jesus Christ.

Giles is only ever going to work if we play with a target man in the middle. We don’t - we don’t even have one on the books - so it’s a pointless signing.

Whilst we have been f*cking dog sh*te across the pitch, the lack of threat from us, is once again galling. Quite literally nothing. Zero. How has it come to this? We were reliant on a freak keeping error last week, and at this rate will be needing one every week if we’re to ever get anything from matches until BBD is back.

He needs pulling. If this was JRC the pitchforks would be out across the board. One of the worst 35 mins from a Rovers FB for a long while.

They should have had about 4 bookings for diving but this is men against boys. TM got this a thousand percent wrong. Could be another 7-0 here and I’m not joking.

That was absolutely pitiful from Giles. I could see from a country mile off that he needed to come to that ball. TM needs to do something urgently here otherwise it’ll be 2 before we know it. Travis is the furthest forward of our CM’s and he can barely pick a pass.

Why is Pickering constantly the wrong side of his man? We can barely string two passes together here.

Kaminski that is fecking terrible son. Game over folks. We don’t score, and we certainly don’t ever come from behind to get anything.

Bunch of diving b*stards.

Williams and Robinson are rapid - will only be easy to counter if they get caught up the pitch. Here’s hoping.

Four. Nyambe.

Yep. Call me crazy too but I have a sneaky feeling we’re going to win today. COYB.

I still don’t think Hudds are all that. They seem a little like us pre-Christmas in that they’re winning a lot of tight games (tonight aside). I reckon they’ll hit a rocky patch soon.

We simply have to win the three home games on the bounce after Fulham. I know football doesn’t work like that but they’re all more then winnable, we’re at home, 9 points is needed. Hopefully we can get a point (or even more!) to kick things off tomorrow.

He was only tweeting hours ago regarding the passing of another cricketer, Rod Marsh. Terrible news, RIP Warney.

Good news on the injury front: https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/19966774.blackburn-rovers-mowbray-gives-positive-injury-update-ryan-nyambe/ Ayalay's mid-season break rolls on. Great gig if you can get it.

He's out for a little while longer yet. I bet the Boro fans are p*ssing themselves having warned us about these winter breaks of his.

Watched the full match on catch up last night and it’s really encouraging that we’ve now outplayed two play-off rivals in a row in Sheff Utd (granted we got sucker punched) and QPR. Real cause for optimism if we can keep finding the back of the net - even just one p/m as our defence is very likely good enough - until BBD is back.

Me too, would bloody love it if they nosedive but I cannot see it due to their strength in depth. Automatics was a pipe dream for us after the January window though. Just need to make sure we get a lottery ticket for the play-offs now as we simply don’t have the firepower for more than that.

Yeah I too think those three matches may well define our season. We simply have to aim for 9 points. As you say, get those and we’ll be tough to budge out of the play-offs.
