It’s because they can’t trust the goalkeeper. 

..I wish ! If the keeper was our only problem that’s solvable…but the lack of leadership , direction and an inability  to set up a defence is not solvable with Mr Tommason . 

These “ players “ and I use this term loosely clearly have no confidence in themselves, each other and , more importantly, the manager .

They are bereft of confidence, guts direction and leadership.

We will be relegated if the current “ management “ remains . 

Tomasson can play all the pretty football he likes but he cannot / will not set up a defence to defend . This man is costing us.

I’m not at Ewood to see/ feel the performance ..but what I can see / feel is  this….the embarrassment of non commitment and non defending can’t go on for much longer! 

I was hoping the poor sod who’s sitting in my seat today enjoys his / her day more than I ever do ….but, obviously not ! 

Are there any keepers out there ? Please!

Who cares who we put in the shirts ? I’ve given up ….and it’s  far less painful . Hope the few thousand who have managed “ digital Saturday “ enjoy their experience. 
We’ve nothing to support , respect or believe anymore . Club stinks from top to bottom. 

Walsted is going to develop they say, as is  Moran , as is Telalovic , as is Ennis and now we have another little lad who wasn’t picked by Coventry due to his lack of physique and commitment …bloody hell, happy new year !    
          
Morale on the pitch was low in the Rotherham game …” senior “ pros like Szmodics looked less than impressed with how things are playing out.

How can this “ signing “ be justified when we have so many areas of the pitch that need to be addressed  …??
 

Avoid administration they say , the club will die they say…..we are currently operating as though we are in administration . As for our death …the symptoms were first seen as they walked through the door ..we’re  now beyond help.
 

When death is nigh we believe those in positions of trust to tell us the truth …we can’t believe a word that comes out of this club …it stinks from top to bottom…..

So absolutely nobody attends because they enjoy it? 

My season ticket, bought after much deliberation , should make me attend . When I do… enjoyment is not a word I would use to sum up my experience. 

I’m still there out of duty, habit and care of the club I once loved. I love it no more because it’s not the club I knew, it’s not the club I can respect ..it’s a shell, a run down shell limping to God knows where .

How many on here go to Ewood?

Me !

So much “ they’re tired “ …they are full time professional players for Gods sake. 
They don’t tire like we do down there in the lower leagues…Wharton looks buggered after 10  minutes…no balls , it doesn’t matter enough. 
The shirt means more to us than it does to them….over worked ?? More overpaid . 
As for Tomasson …nice chap but if he wishes to develop his CV and his philosophy it should not be at Ewood Park….we need a man who will insist that his players play like men ! 

We are weak so, so weak. 

Losing mentality on the bench and on the field. These results are not any coincidence, they are down to weak play, weak management , weak coaching . I have chosen not to use my season ticket today after the Hull “ Performance “ …please do not defend Tomasson .

Just keep the bloody ball out of our box ..and we might have a chance ! 

We need a  keeper …nothing else is of any relevance ..he is single-handedly killing us .

Just what damage is this non goalkeeper doing to the back 4 ? 
They are tired , some unfit but, game after game they are now terrified with what’s behind them .He is simply not a keeper ! 

I agree with the comments that the main failings are “ higher up the chain “ , we’re doomed whilst the contemptible owners remain ..but as many managers have demonstrated..defence is everything, ours is nothing. 

We must set up differently if we are to arrest this embarrassing slide. Tomasson needs to get his head out of his backside ..now is not the time for him to fulfil his philosophy it’s time for these well paid employees to earn their pay. Too easy ,, too flippant. If he smiles tonight I will explode . 

I’m still smarting from the shambolic effort dished up at Huddersfield. We have little room for manoeuvre in terms of personnel…unfit, not ready, not good enough..I get that.
But ..what happened to guts and total effort for the shirt ? Mark Hughes / Sean Dyche / Howard Kendal dogs of war ? 

Yes we are young and inexperienced but these lads need to show some balls and personal pride …there was not a shred of that at Huddersfield…so , whoever JDT selects  I hope he’s checked their commitment first …Brittain needn’t travel !

I said the same after the Bristol game, that was the lowest actual attendance I’d seen on ewood at a league game for a long time. A few on here robustly defended it had anything to do with our atrocious home form or their saviour JdT though.

I really don’t want to go to the Rotherham game and wouldn’t if I wasn’t a season ticket holder.

 

I am also a season ticket holder and I won’t be on the Rotherham game … I can’t accept what is happening at our club at the moment .

Im livid with myself for feeling the pain I feel .. I detest the leadership 

I’m starting to feel contempt for the club I love .

Im sick of how the club is run, sick of how it is managed , sick of how it looks, sick of how those shirts are abused by many not fit to wear them…Ive been turning up season upon season…since 1965….feeling helpless .

We look exhausted.  A small squad with too many injuries.  

We look unfit and without belief ..

Embarrassing..across the board .

Not good enough, coached enough , fit enough , brave enough …

There is not one man in a shirt….

I get we lack experience but these overpaid , weak,  soft lads have to turn up. 
They clearly aren’t good enough to play JDT’s system but at least they can show some balls . They need balls , he needs brain . It is not working and with this line up never will ..

What on earth is Wharton doing there ?
What on earth is Leo doing there ?
 

Rinse and repeat …we look weary

Same as last week, men v boys.

They are so superior in every position, just like Leeds but we can't really expect anything else.

That’s an insult to boys ! I get that we’re stretched, we’re young and we’re lacking in quality…but I cannot accept the beaten body language , the lack of intelligence ( Brittain) the terrible set up from JDT and the constant trying to do what we clearly cannot do ..we look tired, disinterested and lacking in any motivation. 

This manager has to start looking at the reasons why defensively were a shambles.
