I don't think Telalovic has played poorly at all today - linked play up well, had a shot blocked on the line and was inches away from converting a cross. 

I think he has done ok, Not sure he is ever going to get 15/20 goals in a championship season though. We have more pressing issues unfortunately.

Credit to both our fullbacks today, they have been very dangerous and positive.

Leo has the attributes to be a good keeper but I can’t remember seeing anyone as bad when I ball is floated into the box, his punches are weak and into the wrong areas, he flaps and is rash with his decision making.  He seems intent on making contact with the ball with no thought about where it’s going to end up. The communication between him and the defence is appalling. If he can’t sort this side to his game he will be a top keeper but it’s painful watching him at the minute

I didnt want to say anything but in the first 3 minutes he punched a corner straight down onto the penalty spot. He needs to be taken out this must be destroying his confidence. Its not doing mine any good either.

This keeper is the worst I have ever seen. Absolutely awful. He's costing us every week. Every game. Complete farce.

He appears to have married the combination of being shite and unlucky.

Phew, that leaves one day spare to spend it all on transfers 😁

It's Blackburn Rovers, what could possibly go wrong with a tight deadline to get transfers done 🙂

Not sure if off-track or bang on match thread.

Arsenal fans on social media calling for Arteta to be sacked after 3 losses in a row! Apparently they always play the same way every game so opposition clubs have worked them out. Generally boss possession, create loads of chances but fail to take them! They want to walk/pass the ball into the net. No real goal-scorers in the team, Saka leads with 6? 

Does this sound familiar?

Spent money to downgrade their keeper and Venkey have watched both teams live the same number of times in the last 10 years

Sunderland’s second v Preston - the wing play by Jack Clarke.

We badly lack that kind of pace.

Nice to see a player try and stay on his feet as well.

Rotherham yet to win away this season.

What could possibly go wrong? 😉

I was feeling optimistic until I read this.

Dry January has already left me white knuckled staring at the drinks cabinet and an embarrassing defeat might kill it in its infancy.

Wahlstedt is 24 years old, Swedish international and was playing regular first team football so isn't he ready?

 

Well with that CV why are we being told to give him time?

Did say at the time Nyambe would be the hardest of the outgoing players to replace.

Not Roberto Carlos in the final third but ver let us down.

Here comes the man we’ve probably been missing - Hill for Hyam

Unless Hyam is turning up with 300 million in his back pocket, buying the club, going to take over as manager and borrow another 50million to replace the first team. I would not get your hopes up.

I'd much rather see us in League 2 without the Venksters.

You might get half your wish.

Huddersfield have executed a game plan extremely well, no slight to them, fully deserving of the three points.

I disagreed with those at the beginning of the season predicting a mid table finish, but it’s clearly where we are.

Ho hum, life goes on, I’ve hopefully 50 years of loving Rovers and hating Venky’s, still to come.

Game plan: 

Turn up

Win

??????

Collect 3 points.

Glad you are looking forward to another 50 years of Venkys, some on here don't have the luxury.

Our players was in for training yesterday and the day before. So what's your point? 

They should have been rested 🙂

Darren Moore apparently had the players in for training on Xmas eve and Xmas day. He really cares.

Ours stayed in to see what Santa brought 😞 

Jesus, my son is a Blackburn Rovers fan. What have I done??

My real worry with JDT is that he’s so welded to his style of play, that he won’t even abandon it to win in favour of pragmatism, on principle. 
Surely, winning is the name of the game?

Im starting to have concerns that we’ve no hope any more, based on the above.

I am not being argumentitive (hopefully) but what style would suit this team? There is no pace, no striker worth mentioning, Our keepers are dogshit so we can't absorb pressure, There isn't a pair of bollocks betweem them so we are not winning a street fight.

This is the syle of play thatbest suits these players. I am not a huge fan of the manager but I honestly can't see a way out. 

Looking at the players we have it reminds me of the joke about the lad pulling in for directions and the guy telling him "well I wouldn't start from here" 

There is so much wrong with this group of players. We need to knuckle down and hope we have accumilated enough points to stay up (I think we have), next season is terrifying.

We said at the start of the season that after all the hard work of a few years ago building up the keeper dept they'd gone and weakened it again.

We are now right back at Jason Steele/Jake Keane level and not blowing my trumpet but during the clamour for Leo to replace Pears i warned exactly what to expect.

On this occasion i'm right.

You were not alone!

Awful defending where Brittain or Moran should be throwing the body on the line. 

Shocking keeping from Wahlstedt there. 

Simple not good enough

Has Chaddy been hacked?

Savage wasn't hard. Todd wasn't either. He was just a stupid thug. Apart from those already mentioned, off the top of my head Mickey Speight, Lucas Neill, Ryan Nelsen, Howie Gayle, Nicky Reid, Colin Hendry, Henning Berg, Gael Givet, Alex Baptiste, Jermaine Jones, Michel Salgado, Aaron Mokoena. Proper hard men.

We haven't had a proper hard man for a long, long time. Travis? Ha ha ha  

David Batty?

Kevin Moran was tough as fuck but not nasty.
