  1. The rationale behind his approach here... The more Leeds fans that come to Ewood the better. The fewer Rovers fans that go to Elland Road the better.
  2. It's obvious what game Waggott is playing here; it's called 'smoke and mirrors'. He's fleeced the Leeds fans to maximise revenue from them, whilst knowing all along that Leeds would charge us full whack in return. He'll have built this 'subsidy' into his overall calculation, as a means to appear the good guy. Don't be fooled.
  3. The Dingles play Forest on the last day. Things could be about to get very interesting...
  4. The damage was done months ago. Tomasson, Eustace, whoever.....it really doesn't matter who's in the seat. These players are so poor that I genuinely think whoever our manager is, no-one could get a tune out of them. I'm resigned to the inevitable now.
  5. I suspect, or hope, that the public message is rather different to the private one. I personally don't care if he comes across as dull - or wears a perma-grin for that matter - as long as he starts winning games.
  6. If he keeps us up, I don't care how dull he may be.
  7. That was the first game I ever went to. Wishful thinking, but as you say, oh for some of that effort and desire this coming Saturday.
  8. We were possibly heading down under Tomasson, and we'll possibly still go down under Eustace. JDT this, Eustace that......to argue the toss between them is moot and is ignoring the root issues. Whoever the manager is, they'd struggle to get much of a tune out of this lot of players. The idiots that run our club; the fools who own us but don't do anything in the best interests of the club; the diabolical transfer policy and awful player recruitment. Those are the reasons we find ourselves where we are. What we see in the dugout and on the pitch are merely symptoms.
  9. We're all accustomed to a less than half full Ewood, with next to zero atmosphere, and accompanying 'library' chants from the Darwen End. Last night showed the other side of Ewood. A big crowd for once, a vociferous backing, and plenty to get behind both in the dugout and on the pitch. When it's like that, Ewood remains a wonderful place in which to watch our team. Great stuff.
  10. To a degree. Buckley made a difference; we moved the ball a lot better when he came on and controlled possession more. The same old problems were there though, mainly that for all the possession, we just don't get the ball in the box anywhere near enough. I was happy with the result though. A point on the road, when you're scrapping away near the bottom, is a good point.
  11. Tronstad is missing Wharton IMO. The option of those 15 yard passes he used to make through the line to AW, is no longer there.
  12. Tolerated for a short while longer, perhaps, but only when there's signs of improvement. First and foremost, people pay money to see their team win. That's all they really care about.
  13. Playing so called 'entertaining football' and losing, is still losing. After watching us lose game after game, it didn't make me feel any better about it despite the fact that I watched snippets of pretty passing along the way.
  14. No it doesn't. It depends on who is actually available, who is open to alternate offers, which clubs would be willing to let their manager/player speak to other clubs etc. None of which we are privy to.
  15. Why do you think that anyone on this board, or the average supporter for that matter, has any clue what managers would have been available to us, and similarly, what players would be available in any transfer window? We don't. We're just punters, not employed in the profession, and so in the main and by definition, we don't have much of a clue.
  16. 'Telalovic is improving'. How can anyone repeatedly say that with a straight face?
  17. Waggot's modus operandi. No effort goes in to atract home support; it's far easy to fleece what will probably be a big away support.
  18. We currently sit in 16th position, 7 points off a relegation spot and looking over our shoulders. Talk of good or bad runs is moot and can be used to prove or disprove any argument. After 31 or so games, you are where you deserve to be in the league. We are where we are, simply because we're a poor side.
  19. Last night emphasised how awful our squad really is; if the starting 11 don't perform, then we've got zilch to offer in terms of changes. A culmination of non-invested ownership, incompetent execs, and beyond woeful recruitment. We'll get mullered on Saturday playing like that. The only silver lining would be that it will only take half an hour to get home, rather than the dismal 3 hours of last night.
  20. Continue to perform as we did again last night, and relegation is a shoo in. Eustace needs to find a way to grind out results, and he needs to do it quickly
  21. I'm certainly looking forward to attending this far more than I was a week ago!
  22. I've been one of his worst critics, but he played very well yesterday. Getting the ball forward quicker and behind defenders makes much better use of him IMO. If he has to stop and think, he's nowhere near as effective and inevitably turns back.
