He gets the best results for the team by making sure that everyone buys in to the principle that the team comes first ahead of individual ambitions.

They should be happy then.

What exactly do fans want from the matchday experience ?

Alternatively the manager rightly regards football as a team game in which everybody pulls together with the attitude that you win and lose as a team and that prima donnas who want to put themselves first should knuckle down the same as everyone else. Something similar is going on at Manchester United.

Nice payoff though, and he won't have any difficulty getting a Championship job, or one of the stronger Division 1 clubs

Great free kick by Hedges

Reading ? Swift,Laurent,Morrison

Wishing injury on a player is disgusting.

Unlike the fans, the man who counts gets to see and assess him in training before the game.

Who do you think the manager will be - or want to be - at a club not in receipt of parachute payments- where apparently 18 points from 12 games is not good enough ?

Currently on course for 69 points which will have us around 8th or 9th.

The commentary suggested the ref was concerned that the keeper had concussion in which case he has to blow the whistle immediately.

Who is this un-named "better manager" who wants to join a club that fire a manager who has got 18 points from his first 12 games ? What nonsense ! I propose we give this manager at least until the end of next season.

Because we are supporters who want to help him do better, not jurors judging him.

So what do you propose ?

After 12 games ? From which we have 18 points.

The late great Jimmy Armfield once said "They don't have a crowd at Blackburn, they have a jury" which was probably unfair on a lot of people but not in your case as you seem determined to talk one of our own players down.

Support the team.

Our second XI stuffed the 2 League 2 teams we met in the League Cup.

I think most fans believe that giving encouragement to young players who have come through the ranks is part and parcel of being a supporter.

2 goals and 3 assists so far this season, still aged 20. That looks harsh.

I disagree. The idea was right and the chance didn't look that difficult. The execution though was very poor.

Whilst I admire Dyche it seems to me to be stretching things quite a bit to describe a man whose last season as a manager ended in relegation as a "winner".

I think with Scholes part of the problem was that he was an asthmatic and the very hot conditions in which tournaments are played worked against him.

We are hardly the only club having to deal with this situation. Our club has resolved it to our benefit - surely a matter for celebration and credit to the likes of Broughton and Waggott for getting this over the line.
