  1. I’m similar in to a few in the grim acceptance that they’re going nowhere. I’ve never felt further from Rovers in my 41 years of life! I don’t identify with or have any affinity with anything on the pitch (barring the academy lads) or the boardroom and exec seats. I can only see that feeling growing given the current circumstances. Not words I thought I’d ever hear myself think let alone say out loud
  2. The iron on platicar badge and pears kit were personal highlights for me in terms of showing the rank amateur operation. They’d clearly forgotten the keeper kit and hastily had to add the badge to a blank. The shiny plastic Maltese cross looked terrible
  3. I don’t think anyone with any sense would question Cantwells technical ability. However his decision making abikity, tactical awareness and understanding is currently miles of it. Admittedly he’s not blessed with superstars around him but you piss with the penis you’ve got. Being miles away from where you’re meant to be isn’t helping him. Plus getting the ball taking too many touches and then passing sideways could be done by one of the 5 defenders and Tronstad, leaving Cantwell higher up
  4. To defend them to some degree, Litherland, isnt. He’s not kicked a ball in men’s football and has been required to play at wing back, one of the most physically demanding positions 4 times in 10 days. The physical load being put on a squad that is thin at the best of times was always going to reach a tipping point. For some players with underlying issues that elastic snapping ones earlier than others
  5. That’s him basically conceding Sunday then.
  6. Hughes is manager of Carlise, got 10k crowd last week and have ambitious American owners
  7. Slightly disingenuous to say a club formed 11 years before ours and with multiple European appearances has no history.
  8. Today feels a much lower ebb than the Coyle season
  9. We’ve all seen some shite at rovers over the years, but at least they wore the shirt with some pride and put in a shift. From execs to players not one of these barring academy lads is fit to call themselves a Blackburn Rovers employee
  10. Tronstad leaves in the next few week, he’s checked out
  11. And to top it all off we’re cosplaying as PNE at Ewood.
  12. I’d fuck Cantwell off and stuck baradji in at 10. He’s quite direct but as shown in the first half (how much space James and Dobson had he) can’t play as a CM when Cantwell is in the 10. Can’t cover enough ground
  13. Ismael writing down his excuses. Ref Injuries gueye
  14. He couldn’t possibly admit he has a hand in all this. Always the ref or the players. Never him
  15. Millar is a proper knobhead, not a fan of him continually throwing himself at the floor under any contact
  16. Fuck me, Cantwell. How has he given a corner away there the fucking idiot.
  17. Baradji is so far off it James and Dobson are able to drop to receive and turn with no pressure time and again.
  18. Dack did it with much less frequency and when he did it was still higher up and more direct. Cantwell needs to use some sense though, we don’t need him in there. It’s adding more bodies in an already body heavy area. If Dack dropped in we still had height and width ahead of him to create space. I think Cantwell is technically a very good player (not as good as he thinks he is but above what we have nonetheless) but my general feeling is he’s behaved like a showpony in this 18 months here. With more tactical discipline he’s contribute more
  19. This is where I’d disagree, Cantwell has a terrible habit of coming into areas where he does no damage whilst simultaneously taking a body away from an area of the pitch we’re already light in. He drove rangers fans mad with his tendency to drop onto the toes of defenders, take a load of touches and then play it wide or like last night moan nobody is moving. There is likely to be little available forward options when playing a 5 back with a CDM and a 10 on their toes. 7 players in your own half, not exactly an opposition nightmare is it
  20. I thought we were ponderous across the middle of the pitch, the ball moved so slowly after 15 mins in both halves. Everything was side to side with no pace allowing Wednesday to retain their shape with ease. Very little bravery in trying to play through the middle of the pitch and I know I bang in about it but someone needs to grab hold of Cantwell and ban him from receiving the ball in our half. When you’re effectively playing with a back 5 and a CDM we don’t need another player in there. We’re crying out for him further up the pitch.
  21. There have been lots done in Morecambe, these have been done by Deco Publique who organise the Festival of Making and are based in the Making Rooms by the Museum. I‘m sure they’d have lots of information on the planning side of things
  22. The most startling thing is in the stats they had 2 clear cut chances to our 1. Appalling
