v Plymouth Argyle (h) - 09/03/2024
Wheelton Blue replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
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. -
Eustace Or Useless?
Wheelton Blue replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
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. -
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.

John Eustace - our head coach

£100k? That's a tad optimistic 🙂 -
John Eustace - our head coach

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. -

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. -

Like they did yesterday, you mean? -
John Eustace - our head coach
Wheelton Blue replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
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. -

Wheelton Blue replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
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. -

'Telalovic is improving'. How can anyone repeatedly say that with a straight face? -
Venky’s & Waggott Out Protest Ideas
Wheelton Blue replied to DuffsLeftPeg's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
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. -
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.

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.

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.

Exactly. It's our club, not theirs. -
v Stoke City (h) - 11/02/2024
Wheelton Blue replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Law of averages says that we're due a win. I've been saying this to myself for weeks, though.... So...I say 2-1 to the mighty blues. Another defeat, however, and the Ewood lid will blow off big style I imagine. -

I see that Bolton have publicised season ticket details for next season already. That's how to do it, Swag. I'll not hold my breath, though. -
That *was* the January Window
Wheelton Blue replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
From what I've heard, Travis had a bust up with Tomasson after the xmas Huddersfield game when Tomasson vented at the team with a ' If you don't want to play for me, then....' line.
