Rothwell has been really poor. Remember when he was the best player on the pitch 5 months ago?

Agreed the goal is masking how poor we’ve been. That and black pool are a real bad side. Our tactics are hoofing it long, and hoping to run into it. The middle of the park is non existent.

Hard to watch us thump it long time and time again. Rothwell and Travis total passengers.

We’ve been shite so far. Lucky not to be 2 down

Don’t fancy a clean sheet, do we’re going to need at least one more

No loss really. Wish he’d have taken Gallagher with him

To his credit, he sees Gallagher on the team sheet week in and week out and must know he’s been no worse

I read this, but if you look on line long enough you can find just about anything https://www.newschainonline.com/sport/mens-sport/football/deyovaisio-zeefuik-and-tayo-edun-pushing-for-blackburn-return-against-blackpool-263940

Seems like Lenihan and Naymbe will not be fit. That helps TM as we will surely play with a back 4. I’d go: Kamenski Zeefuik JVH. Wharton. Pickering Rothwell. Travis Dolan. Dack. Giles Diaz

Zeefuik is fit, no?

Last match if he would have completed his normal control in front of goal we would have won. Instead he wife’s completely…then is inserted right back into the starting 11

Still can’t believe Gallagher got the start after whiffing on last weeks sitter. How can any player feel performances matter when seeing a player rewarded for continued inefficiency?

It’s a very sad state. January a total disaster. Look at how TM left Coventry. Bare bones. He’ll leave us the same

Every match here on out must be Lenihan. JVH warton naymbe Giles Travis Buckley Khandra/Dolan Dack BBD Anything else is idiotic and most likely

Jrc and Gally both starting in a must win match. Diabolical

Look no further than Gally getting the start and playing 90 min. After last matches sitter miss no player should be put back in the first team. What message does that send to those left out. Dolan, we understand premier teams are interested. You scored for England. Apologies but the donkey still plays before you.

In the 9th min of extra time when 6 min we’re to be played. FFS

Rather is the 25 min to start than at the end when we’re desperately trying for a goal against 11 behind the ball.

Agreed. No excuse for the question if he’s fit. Also the lads been off for a month so two games 4 days shouldn’t be an issue. Our CB injury situation is though. JVH, Ayal, Lenihan all potentially missing out.

It’s hard to imagine and I’d argue we will be a worse side in the summer than the one he took over. We will have 12 senior players under contract: Kamenski, Pickering, Ayala (for 6 matches), Wharton, JRC, Travis, Buckley, Dolan, Markanday, Hedges, Dack (a shell of the former), and Gallagher. That’s about as bare bones as it gets.

Not having a replacement for BBD in case of injury or poor form a huge mistake. We’ve been searching for a plan since January. Rothwell has been no where near as effective since his transfer was denied. Buckley’s form has disappeared. The first half seems a mirage

And a significantly worse side. Gally will be out only recognized forward. Van Hecke, Lenihan, Khadra, Diaz, Naymbe, Giles Rothwell all gone. TM will leave us just where he found us. Heading to league 1.

Gallagher should never step foot on the pitch again. If I were a player and saw his name on the team sheet, I think I’d put in a transfer request. Terminate the contract now.

We would have missed the penalty anyway

Wonder if TM still compares Gallagher to Salah?
