Would have gone a bit more attacking but let’s see how we go. Looks like the plan is a solid line up defensively then open up after half time. Prove us wrong Rovers

This could also work the other way and we get someone crap/cheap who is willing to work without a budget….

Him vs lampard for the play offs would be a big story

ACD is really poor. Give Kargbo 45 - he is far more direct. Decent half though. Ribeiro is quality. V good signing.

He's had his hair done! Operation become the head coach in full swing! I do like him - seems like a good bloke and obviously the players love him. You need people like him at a football club. (For avoidance of doubt this is not me saying give him the job)

Richie sodding Wellens?! Good grief....make it stop!! It will be someone cheap, foreign and willing to do what Gestede/Waggott want. My prediction is Lowe to the end of the year then an underwhelming appointment in the summer. No chance they go for someone in a job currently - that costs money. The £500k will already have been spent on the heating bill. 14 games is not long enough for someone to come in and change any style/philosophy. For that reason I wouldn't be against Gerard short term - big name, motivate the players, spotlight on the club, point to prove

I would go with more threat from the start this game at home - step forward Augustus. Tough game with Plymouth seemingly turning a corner. Dennis probably not fit (when will be be? With 2 games to go?) so I would stick with Weiman - him and Pape seem to have a good understanding. Hope the players keep the same attitude as WBA. Come on Rovs!

Why John Eustace left Blackburn - The Times Another good article in a national paper. Balanced but once again the players and us fans come out on top.

Be miffed if that sensational win is credited to his stats. Just needs to go now and let everyone at Rovers move on. Zero interest in him anymore (but I would like Derby to go down..). Onwards!

This is Rovers. Not Venkys. Outstanding performance that. Massive. Bloody proud.

This has been a very strange week 😂

Missing Baath back there for his composure. Nervy.

Hedges is so crap. Get Kargbo on

I was at QPR last week and thought I might never have to see Dolan, Weiman, Hedges as a front 3 again. I was wrong. Dear me. They are ‘good lads’ in the coaches eyes though I bet…

This is very good. About as good, and utterly bonkers, summary as you could find. (Except the bigger club line…) People finally waking up the nightmare? Sadly won’t change much and it will blow over, but it’s nice to finally hear some people wake up and smell the chicken. Why is Eustace leaving Blackburn for Derby…?

Surely a free hit for West Brom and old TM this. Will our players be sulking or angry? Hope the latter. Johnson did a decent job in his game vs Stoke last year (no chance that was a Eustace win). Seems popular so perhaps the players rally after a Trav inspired motivational speech.

Made me incredibly sad reading this. A perfect summary of the entire situation and its consequences. End of an era for many of us.

This will be a corker

Gestede is nailed on to get the job. Exactly the reason he is in the shadows not rocking the boat.

Where is the communicator in chief, Gestede? Surprised he hasn’t come out to tell us we should be grateful yet

Excellent article from Jackson. Well done.

We are all under the false assumption Venkys have any clue whats going on, or indeed care. I met Mr Venky in Trinidad at a KKR CPL cricket game a couple of years ago and asked him directly his thoughts on Rovers - he didnt know what Rovers was. We are a rounding number and a drop in the ocean in their business empire, nothing more. As long as Waggott and Pasha keep the balance sheet looking good they wont get involved. Waggott may haver some explaining to do when season ticket sales total 24 next year but the severance package for Eustace will offset that.

Save Toth. Credit where it’s due

Quite optimistic about these new lads in n the championship. Definitely an upgrade.

Where did JRC play when he had that half decent spell under JDT? Can’t remember. Since then….he has regressed badly. So so poor.
