Birmingham players didn't seem tired? This is an ability issue due to desperate signings across two windows. Wahlstedt, Chrisene, Koumetio, Moran, Ennis, Telalovic, Fleck (with two leg breaks and no minutes)... we have been taking whatever we can get. Birmingham's two subs would be in our starting 11. Venky's are very, very close to taking us down again.

The summer of Venky's no spend really did cripple us. Tonight was appalling and all of the free loan signings don't have what it takes. The clubs renting them out know it too.

We shouldn't have to.

We're in Venky's added time!

I think we're the only club around where "new manager bounce" doesn't apply. I'm not sure many new managers come about the way ours do... Some match preparation this.

The series of events that night are inexcusable. This lot simply haven't got a clue.

Can we have a banner made of this please? 😃

Feels a very dark day and week for the club. I won't be going on Saturday, as a season ticket holder I'm exhausted and too disillusioned with the CEO, and the club. I won't be renewing next year with Waggott still involved. Couldn't do it to myself. I simply can't support incompetency.

I know 6 more who want it 👀 Wouldn't be fair to name them since the club might go after them

Have you ever seen anything like it! We have a massive game on Saturday.

Ironically the best thing Waggott could have done to unite the fans is to step down.

Gets the fans involved immediately when the tide turns against him. Nowhere to be seen in pre season when there's an opportunity to make football affordable and get thousands back into Ewood. Scumbag I'm afraid. I don't blame anyone for going but he's trying to "have" you. No wonder we're in a mess.

Top and bottom of it is Waggott should have gone when Mowbray went but nobody was getting fired. Tomasson could have lost every game this season and would still have had to leave by mutual consent!

This CEO is one manipulative, unprofessional, bottlejob c*nt. Don't be fooled.

Sorry but the club doesn't deserve fans. I think there's going to be another huge drop off in attendances.

But managed to spell McFadzean right.... convenient.

Some people think the owner's aren't to blame - and if you think that you're bonkers, a setup like this will be close to impossible for the staff to work with on deadline day. It won't be happening at Brentford or Brighton, or any club with good owners. There's no fire without Venky's. They are causing chaos and people won't know what they can and can't do right until the very last minute. This was the only deadline day deal involving a fee and the reality is that is the reason it didn't go through, no matter how you dress it. It went wrong because at some point there was a decent sized fee involved and because we have the wrong owners, we could not operate normally. You can't run a football club successfully the way Venky's are trying to and our reputation with other teams and players will be now certainly be in tatters. We are the last team you'd do business with and you'd probably add tax to do so. Good luck to a Venky's owned Rovers getting loan to buys or decent cash signings on a deadline day again... That in itself is damaging enough. We can't function properly as a football club any longer and we don't want you anywhere near it! SELL THE CLUB!!!

Anyone else couldn't give a shit what happened? They have all got to go... Venky's, Waggott, Suhail... the lot.

It will go against us and there's no getting out of this one for them. I have every faith in their level of incompetence... I said at the start of the window, you can't function properly as a club with owners like this. These things will happen again and again and again until they are gone.

Venky's out is really getting some movement on Twitter! I think we are onto something big this time.

I've criticised the club enough this week and the players shouldn't get off scot free either for recent displays... There are a few who I think have been woeful, Hyam is one, Brittain another, Moran is a backwards passer and Sigurdsson for me isn't cut out for the Championship... He's a poser, scared of a tackle, has zero pace, can't take on any Championship defender, there literally isn't one he can go past no matter how bad they are... Such a disappointing signing! He has a nice first touch and that's about it, tries too many flicks and is scared of getting hurt. Hairdryer treatment needed on him and a few others! The above, along with poor formation choices and tactics are really exposing one of our main weaknesses as a team... pace. It's a recipe for disaster and the manager is repeating it weekly. We miss Hedges and some more "normal" defensive tactics. I like Tomasson far more than Waggott and the owner's but if he doesn't make a drastic change, he's taking us down. We're over complicating Championship football, without having the players to do so. Garrett, Ayari or Fleck need to be in for Moran and they need to be asked to do the simple stuff in the middle. The team are playing as individuals at the minute and shit ones at that.

Every fan knew the Wharton deal would get done and it did. Simple as that. We'd have been more prepared than the club was. The place is rotten and a shambles. We should have an open top tour when the Rao's fuck off!

They will lose a lot of fans and deservedly so. I'm done (season ticket holder), as are most I speak to.

Only people with integrity will walk so that rules out Waggott. End of speculation.
