their FOOKING CENTRE HALF has scored two UNDEFENDED GOALS.... WTF!!??

And yet again, poor defending and Rovers go down without a fooking fight. What A FOOKING SHAMBLES> MOWBRAY OUT!!!!! MOWBRAY OUT!!!! MOWBRAY OUT!!!!! MOWBRAY OUT!!!! MOWBRAY OUT!!!!! MOWBRAY OUT!!!! MOWBRAY OUT!!!!! MOWBRAY OUT!!!! MOWBRAY OUT!!!!! MOWBRAY OUT!!!! MOWBRAY OUT!!!!! MOWBRAY OUT!!!! MOWBRAY OUT!!!!! MOWBRAY OUT!!!! MOWBRAY OUT!!!!! MOWBRAY OUT!!!! MOWBRAY OUT!!!!! MOWBRAY OUT!!!! MOWBRAY OUT!!!!! MOWBRAY OUT!!!! MOWBRAY OUT!!!!! MOWBRAY OUT!!!!

If we can scab this we will turn our season around..

Fook me - GALLAGHER!!

Ayala off, Johnson back to CB. Downing into midfield. Time for an early cocoa...(with a side of Bolivian Marching Powder)

Gallagher and Dack coming on... Buckley too, possibly Rothwell, Nyambe, Elliot off..?? He really doesn't want to win this does he. Buckley right back.. doh!

ANOTHER FOOKING FREE HEADER FROM A CORNER.. WHAT THE FOOK?????

No urgency from TM to change things up here... WTF is the bloke thinking? We need to change the pattern of play. Commentary "Mowbray retreats to his dugout with a glum expression...!" WHAT THE FOOK??? Get on your feet man, get talking to your team, and get some fooking changes made..

FFS Shocking defending

Nah, he just threw him under...

And yet big Tone still can't set his superior squad up to beat teams like this.. baffling..

Best / worst I can think of would be the Rovers 'single' of the early to mid 1970s which had at home well into the 80s until it got fried by being left in the sun, ending up like some crazy vinyl sombrero. "No matter where they're playing, no matter who they play, good old Blackburn Rovers, the best team of the day..." all brass band and jovial and definitely some kind of 'we are northern gits, suck it up softy southerners' kind of vibe.. We've still got one of the Riverside teddies that used to be flung around the crowd at half time. It somehow miraculously survived the mauling such bears used to get, and was stuffed into the bag along with the flask we used to take coffee with whisky for a half time brew. I'll see if I can upload a pic.. We also have a blue and white Rover bear that I think was my sister's from the 80s but has somehow been inherited by her nieces.

Aye lad, world class at pocket billiards. And to underscore my obtuse point, I was simply questioning the need that some on here perceive for Eliot to be wrapped in cotton wool. Sure, give the guy a chance to recover between games, but in reality he's hardly run himself ragged in recent fixtures and he is young AND a professional sportsman..

He's 17 - at that age I'd run up Ben Nevis, cycle home to Lancs, turn out for the local cow-tipping competition, get over to t'Darwen baths for 100 lengths and THEN give 100% for a couple of hours on the footie pitch.. Eeeh, they doesn't know they're born!

Cant see any plausible reason for Douglas to pull on the blue and white shirt ever again, to be fair. Every side has its nemesis, but it sticks in the craw when that nemesis is (allegedly) on the same side as you. Nuff said - I think I've made my thoughts on our Leeds cast off (dingle implant??) pretty clear, and I think he is a dud. It will be interesting to see how TM continues the Dack & Brereton rehabilitation. I suspect neither will be risked from the start, which means their introduction (if it comes at all) will be damage limitation rather than a show of strength in depth. At this point of the season I would really have expected us to be ready to scale the heights and into a healthy rhythm, rather than exhibiting battle fatigue and embodying chronic uncertainty as we are.. I agree 100% with Philipl that the season hangs on the next two games. Depending on our (self-made) fortunes we will either be building momentum for a spring dash towards the playoffs or craning our necks anxiously as teams below us rise inexorably past us as we sink miserably towards flirtation with trips to Accrington and Aldershot.. I know which scenario I prefer. COYB - time to pull the finger out!

Lucky there.. Owl offside

ROTHWELL ZSiper GOOOLAAAALQALLL

Arna hits post!

Douglas still on. Mowbray looking very much like a Brockhall escapee on the touchline...

Dacky! Big Bad Bereo, Downing

Gallagher hamstring. Good. Holtby, Gallagher, Douglas. OFF PLEASE

GET DOUGLAS OFF. End of.

Douglas gets in the way of Ayala, and Wednesday score a fooking worldie

Douglas = dogshit
