Worst home defeat in the history in the club and people still cant work it out ... Maybe we deserve this nightmare

You have no idea Some older woman came up to me to tell me "he only had 6 fit players on monday, he is doing a good job," because i was loudly slagging off Mowbray they are simply not in reality

Setting the Scene Wednesday’s match sees Blackburn facing off against one of the championship’s form teams in Fulham, who have won the last four on the bounce. This includes their latest match, a 3-0 victory over fellow favourite West Brom. However, Rovers also come into the game with two recent victories against Derby and Reading, so we should be in with a chance. With Fulham in 2nd and Blackburn in 7th, the match is great opportunity for us to stake a claim for the playoff positions or for Fulham to cement their status as one of the favourites to go up. The Opposition Having been relegated from the Premiership in 18th position, by a margin of 9 points, Fulham are hoping to return to the promised land at the first attempt. At the end of the season, manager Scott Parker left the club to take up the manager position at fellow Championship favourite Bournemouth. In his place, Fulham brought in Marco Silva, the former Hull City and Watford manager. In the summer, and unlike some relegated clubs, there was not a large exodus of players and in fact Fulham spent ~£12.5 million on bringing in Harry Wilson from Liverpool to add to their attacking options. With all the talent at the club, Fulham were predicted to be towards the top of the Championship. 10 wins in their first 15 games and boasting the league’s highest scoring attack, they are looking likely to fulfil their aim at the first time of asking. Star Man Too good for the Championship (60 goals in 97 games) but perhaps not good enough for the premiership, Serbian striker Aleksandar Mitrović is the man to watch. Having a tremendous year (18 goals in 15 games), we will have to keep him quite to have any chance in obtaining the 3 points on Wednesday. However, just behind Mitrović in the scoring charts, one Ben Brereton-Diaz is having a career reborn (12 goals in 15 games) and let us hope his form continues. Player Connections Fans will be able to spot quite a few former Rovers in the current Fulham team: former loanees Tosin Adarabioyo (red card suspension) and Harrison Reed as well as Fulham captain Tom Cairney. Looking back over the last twenty years I will start off with my least favoured shared connection. Midfield morons Dickson Etuhu and Danny Murphy, and his reported £50k a week contract, enjoyed successful careers at Fulham before we were unfortunate enough to witness them at Ewood. Clinical finisher Andy Cole left Blackburn, after relations between him and manager Graeme Souness deteriorated, to enjoy a successful one year with Fulham. Former Rover Damien Duff enjoyed successful spells with both clubs, making over 100 appearances for each. Premier league winning centre half Ian Pearce finished his league career at Fulham before retiring to non-league football. Competitive Record The first time the two clubs played each other was in the 1920/1921 FA Cup in a 1-1 draw. Since then, Blackburn have played Fulham in 93 total competitive fixtures having won 38, drawn 25 and lost 30. The largest scoring game between the two was when we unfortunately lost to Fulham 7-2 on a Boxing day fixture in Division Two 1956. Our recent record against Fulham has been quite poor, winning none of the last four games, with our last win being a 3-0 victory at Ewood in 2016 with Ben Marshall, Shane Duffy and Danny Graham making up the scorers. Final Thought There is nothing quite so satisfying as a well hit volley Come on you blues!!

After his goal Dolan cost us two by ignoring diaz at every chance

5 points out of 18 Mowbrays Death Spiral to give us all Halloween chills

Seeing Johnsom and Clarksom makes me long for the days of Murphy and Ethuhu How pathetic

Out thought by Robbins. After Coventry scored their second, Mowbray was walking around tapping his head. Out of ideas Send him back to Coventry

Odd. Clarkson training with the starting 11 and not the rest of the bench. Is this common?

I call them jerseys sometimes.

Sack him, Just fucking sack him and the fucking rest Coventry Blackpool showing all you need in organisation and a proper manager to get results Wasted all the money on transfer, shit owners shit manager Get fucked Mowbray

Dont know why Mowbray is angry, you made your bed lie in it

Was rothwell injured?

COME ON ROVERS

Fingers crossed we make them pay for missing

COYB

For the first time in Tony Mowbray's tenure as manager, Rovers have won a game while occupying a play-off spot in the Championship.

Was Lenihan injured?

Wow four goals, come on you blues smash them for 7

I love this style of play. Quick players who can run with the ball. A championship team's nightmare. Don't overcomplicate it Tony

Cheers, hard to tell from the commentary

Brereton hit the post!!! Should he have scored it?

Come on Rovers!!

It does matter he is on loan , of course it does because wont be here next year but buckley and dolan will be

As it stands (all values taken from the TransferMarket) We have lost approximately £19 million in value to the playing squad with the vast majority being Adam Armstrong but a couple of million in the departure of Bell, Evans, Holtby etc (not that anyone minded that) We have the following first team players in the last year of their contracts: Lenihan, Brereton, Kaminski, Nyambe , Rothwell , Chapman and Davenport with a total market value of about £15 million. We would eligible for compensation on Nyambe, Brereton, Chapman and Davenport if they leave without a new contract and if they are transfered to a UK based team which maybe unlikely for Brereton. The loanees bring us no squad value in the long term and in the short term it sound like we are spending a fair amount on their wages. Putting that all together £19 million in players left this transfer window, £0 million came in so far and £15 million in players are currently set to leave at the end of the season, although there is still time for renewals. In a few words, looks bloody grim

It 100% will. Brighton are not loaning in this guy to sit on the bench. He immediately is ahead of everyone bar Lenihan and Ayala in the pecking order. So we are faced with Carter's minutes being greatly reduced unless injuries come in.
