Judging from JDT's post-match comments he's thrown Buckley under the bus and exonerated the officials. Looks like they won't even be contesting the red card so a 3 match ban stands. An idiotic approach that certainly won't go down well with the players. -

So you think Rankin-Costello has been useless in the last 3 matches (plus West Ham)??Do you actually watch these matches or just sit at a keyboard? And Brittain is out injured. -

"Transition" to League 1 after relegation next season. This squad is just staggeringly inept in both midfield and upfront where we already know Brereton will be gone by the summer. -

It must be his dad that's got him as far as he has. Will soon be sussed out and finish up in the Conference league or whatever. -

Next season is a big worry. Without the inexplicably good start to this season we would be in deep trouble now. -
Carabao Cup - next round, moving on - draw.

Just watched the highlights. Scott Wharton was absolutely dreadful apart from his scoring header. He's become a total liability, missing tackles and giving the ball away for fun. How has he regressed so spectacularly since last season? Now he looks like a L2 dolloper and runs like a penguin. -

Serious pressure will come when every match is lost between now and the end of January. On current form that's more likely than not. The remainder of this season is a scramble for the five wins needed to ensure another - probably excruciating - seadon in the Championship. -

Nothing will change. There is a "project" to develop players and winning matches is only a subsidiary consideration. Relegation next season assuming 50+ points can be reached in the remaining 24 matches. -

That's a very low bar. Based on his showing at Burnley, Garrett is miles off it as well. -

Travis is pathetic beyond belief. He looks like a non league player. Has been getting steadily worse for the last two years and is now a total liability. -

alcd replied to sympatheticclaret's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
No indication that Jdt has any intention og changing anything. Will persist with teenagers in midfield who are out of their depth and pointless dwitching of wingbacks. Brereton and perpetually injured Gallagher are thr only goal threats. The lower end of the table beckons. -

It's difficult to see what is gained by playing out from the back rather than playing into midfiels or even just a long ball and paick up the second ball. It only works if the defenders are talented enough on the ball to gat the ball through the press and expose the opposition on the turn. -

I think Easter 1979 at Ewood was worse. -

Based on performances 7th bottom is where we should be. Without Brereton after January it's where we'll finish up. -

And we might not have our only forward threat - Brereton -

alcd replied to sympatheticclaret's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
This was just another to add to the scrapbook of abject, clueless, away defeats at Reading, Sheff Utd, Luton, Cardiff and Coventry. Keep doing the same thing - playing out from the 6 yard box - with the same dismal results. And it seems to be more important to "add value" to players than actually be competitive and win points. -

alcd replied to sympatheticclaret's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Utter garbage performance. So obvious that Burnley would struggle against a long ball to Brereton but instead most of the match was played trying to get the ball out of our own penalty area. This playing out from the keeper is costing us bigtime particularly away from home but JDT persists with it because it adds value!?? What was the point of Mola instead of Wharton? Garrett looked more than a bit lost and clueless. -

Buckley casual as usual. -

Better for Jdt to discover just how hopeless Pears is before the January window closes. -
This squad has too many way out of their depth but Tomasson keeps on picking them in preference to better players left on the bench such as Dack Dolan and Carter. Hirst and Vale are utter shite. Travis is useless at right wingback and Brittain is on the wrong side. Wharton S is becoming a liability. Apart from all that its not too bad.

Travis has become very similar to Lowe in being largely ineffective. He has poor passing no vision lacks pace and is a yellow or red card waiting to happen. -
Looks like Garratt would be an upgrade on Travis who has gone backwards in the past two seasons.
