Relying on overlapping CBs to assist you getting any type of attack going says pretty much everything you need to know.

Maybe the worst half of "football" I've ever seen. Ref giving everything, Stoke playing for everything, and Rovers not even knowing how to play football.

We can't drop Pears when he is on the cusp of a £50m move to "New Trafford".

What a truly transcendent and inspirational starting XI. Can't wait for the 90 minutes to begin.

Pathetic, most predictable result of the season (since the obvious change in situation) That's 11 straight defeats to promoted L1 teams away from home.

Cantwell on for Dolan. Abysmal performance against an abysmal team. A competent team wins this 4-2.

What a pathetic substitution

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Pears is FUCKING SHIT

All these people complaining Israel doesn't have a "Plan B" have clearly not watched a Blackburn Rovers manager closely in the 5,000 days since Big Sam left. The closest thing we had to Plan B since December 2010 was when Henning Berg fucked the club in court.

Who'd have thought we'd be 2-0 down with that starting XI?

We've seen some Pears horrors over the years, but that's shit for U8's football.

The best thing about this starting XI is the fact we can't being Weimann, Dolan and (especially) Hedges on as 2nd half subs. Hedges is absolutely finished at this level.

If David Lowe got the job I'd be genuinely worried about who would control the whistle during the pre-match 5-a-side and ball feed the shooting drill with the subs! 😬

Not read this back, so apologies if this name has been mentioned - and he won't happen as it would be too public - but Steven Gerrard is the absolute correct replacement. It won't happen, not only is he strongly linked with going back to Rangers, but "Steven Gerrards Blackburn Rovers" would get far too much media scrutiny and air time for Waggott, Pasha and Venkys to cockroach.

That final 15 minutes were up there with the most embarrassing of the Eustace era. JRC and Forshit coming on - why?At least we gave our marquee signing 5 minutes (+5) to change the game. Chalk one up to poor management.

Kargbo - Cantwell - Cozier-Duberry all on for the 3 amigos of God awful. Weimann is basically the attacking midfield version of Jordan Rhodes - he literally offers nothing in the first 90% of the pitch*, knows where to be in the area - if we get there. Gets carried in games he starts. *You can miss me with the "what about the Burnley goal" retort - that was an obvious one off*

Hedges - Weimann - Dolan That triplet wouldn't scare me if we were in a L1 relegation battle.

11:00pm. Now the real drama begins.

"Option to buy was duscussed" ... and then Forest remembered who they were working with, and decided against such bold negotiations.

Dennis is one many of us suggested back in the early days of January. Can't actually complain about this signing. Can complain about pretty much everything else.

You've outed Waggots January 2025 cunning plan 6 hours early.

It doesn't help that there are a full adult generation of people - the oldest are potentially graduating from University this year - who literally were not even born (Souness) and have no consciousness (Hughes/Allardyce) of anything pre Steve Kean/Venkys. Stockholm syndrome.

"He's magic, you knowwww, his name is Augustus Kargbo!!"

Our first ever Sierre Leonean? And potentially Egyptian, for that matter?
