One fan said that, let’s not twist the facts. Also that fan was also likely smacked up on home brewed ciderrrr 🥴

Tell us something we don’t know already.

I can only go off what I’ve seen in the flesh and he bossed the game at Ewood only last season. Also hard to judge a player managed by Shrek himself. We’ll see but I think he’s a decent addition. I liked Baker but I thought he was a little passive and drifted in and out of games when he did play. Forshaw is all action & a bit of a terrier just hope he does still have some life in him yet.

Yeah let’s trust a set of fans whose team have spent the best part of the last decade in League 1 or 2 Like I said, he’s only cover

Toth JRC Hyam McFaz Beck Wiemann Buckley Hedges Leonard Gueye Cantwell

Good signing. Rewriting as someone deleted my last post for some reason 🤔 Replaces Baker straight away & adds experience and he’s combative which is what we need. He’s only cover and won’t start when Trav is back. So I’m not sure what people expect? He literally ran the game last season at Ewood. All be it only against Buckley & Ayari but it wasn’t that long ago so he can’t be “past it” as some have described. Hopefully better to come but it’s a start.

The summer window was positive but the Head of Recruitment likely responsible for the better transfers has now left the club. I wouldn’t trust the people making decisions behind the scenes at Blackburn Rovers. There’s a reason for 15 years of steady decline.

Good idea and a welcome improvement. I can’t go to every game so am considering it.

Buckley is much worse than Baker, proven by Eustace picking him ahead of JB in every single fixture that a Travis/Tronstad replacement has been necessary. For me he’s gone backwards since the loan to Sheffield Wednesday and previous long term knee injury. Too slow on the ball and doesn’t see the bigger picture straight away leading to either being dispossessed or our attacks gaining any traction. I thought he was very poor off the bench v Dingles, not what you’d expect of a homegrown player.

Lets focus on the positives yeah? New Flexi-Ticket what we all thinking of that? 7 of any of the 10 remaining home games for £139 so less than £20 a game & a guaranteed seat at the home of football 🌹

When is the Flag coming out that was supposed to be at the Burnley game?

I just got an email from the club asking for suggestions for what to have on it for the Burnley game. I suggested “Pride of Lancashire” with blue & white halves, a red rose and 18 75 in each half. Would be class if they did it! Maybe for the PNE game?

What happened to the big flag the club sent a poll out about? It was supposed to come out before the game. Yet another let down from the club on what was a good idea and who knows could have provided the extra inspiration for the players to really go after Bumley on the day. Apart from Callum Brittain I don’t think any of our lads showed the energy or passion required to win this game. I heard it was due to Venky’s not signing off on it but if anyone knows for certain I would be interested to know? Another failure for Steve and his bunch of merry men in any case!

I think the majority of Rovers fans are reasonable enough to agree that we aren’t punching at the level of Leeds, Bumley or Sheffield United. We simply don’t have the resources, income or squad depth. BUT we can and have competed in this league under the current and previous managers and as it stands still have a good chance of making the play offs. As we did under Mowbray, as we did under JDT. This would be made stronger by the owners showing even a minimal amount of ambition and investing in the January window. Eustace is calling for this now, as did Mowbray, as did JDT in similar circumstances. Unfortunately the managers, club and supporters have been consistently let down and gaslit by Waggott and Venky’s time and time again. They are making short term decisions and the long term success of the club clearly isn’t a priority or ambition. They’ve proven that and I don’t see it changing any time soon. Further thoughts….. Yesterday’s result hurt because I think we all had the expectation we could get a positive result at Ewood against Bumley for the first time in years. But we fell short again and had to witness a huge amount of shithousery, enabled by poor refereeing, feigning injury, time wasting, goading of our fans by their little boy goalkeeper James Trafford (who couldn’t hack it in the Prem) and complete disrespect by their players for the 2nd time in a row at Ewood at full time. Also Connor Roberts - what an absolute pussy at right back; went down 4 times during the match feigning injury and left crying by the advertisement boards when Wiemann gave him the slightest of nudges. Absolutely pathetic. Genuinely believe our players wouldn’t resort to these levels of disrespect that we saw yesterday and it represents the class-less club that they are and always have been. We’ll have our day again. It just wasn’t to be this time. Our trophy cabinet & history will always eclipse theirs though. No matter how many times they benefit financially from the yo-yo effect of the Premier League - they’ve never been good enough to stay there in the long term and achieve the kind of regular success that we had in the 90’s & 00’s, winning 2 major trophies. COYB 🌹

Why is everyone wading in on Cantwell? The lad has had a virus in the last week and did well to even make the game. Burnley’s shithouse tactics and constant fouling made it hard for him and Dolan to gain any kind of traction going forward. We lost the game and that hurts but it wasn’t a bad performance. It was a 0-0 game, we had more shots and they won with the only clear cut chance of the game. If Venky’s and Steve Maggott put their hand in their pocket, rather than being content with Championship mediocrity & treading water, we would be really competitive in this league with the current manager. Unfortunately the Wharton & Szmodics money has disappeared into the ether. But it’s been that way for well over a decade and unlikely to change any time soon.

Also this would be my team Pears Brittain Hyam Batth Beck Tronstad Baker JRC Dolan Hedges Gueye Keep it solid as usual with an experienced starting line up and the extra legs of JRC down the right. ACD, Leonard and Wiemann as decent options off the bench later on.

No Ohashi or Cantwell in the line up then either and we played with 10 men from 57 minutes, still got a result. Stop peddling this negativity. Best chance to beat these c***s in years! COYB Time to restore the Pride of Lancashire back to its rightful place 🌹

Great win for the boys in blue yesterday. In the last 2 home games we’ve made 2 good sides (at least on paper) look very average. There is a real energy and togetherness in the squad with some good options off the bench. Superb to see! Travis in particular for me this season is an absolute revelation, a proper captains performance and some real quality alongside Tronstad who is also brilliant. The way Trav got Chong back for a bad challenge & then again Jordan Clark later was immense. He really fights for the badge. Suspect the lad who got sent off’s card is also marked for when we play them at their tin shed in April. COYB! Let’s keep the run going over Christmas and then the play off push is on 🌹

2 Number One Albums this year say otherwise…and he was involved signing Szmodics…but generally I agree he’s a chancer who wasn’t up to the job. Shed Seven however, great band!

Steve Waggott is a c**t!

Gregg The Egg spotted “enjoying” a Shed Seven gig in Manchester on Friday night although you certainly wouldn’t tell from his general demeanour. When he resisted turning round we started singing “Sammie Szmodics baby” which he clearly heard but didn’t respond to! Miserable tw*t! 😂 Good luck in MLS Gregg 🇺🇸

You’re in a world of your own you Chaddy! The evidence says otherwise. As for Stansfield, see below 👇

Another sad day for Rovers when Szmodics leaves. This window selling the Championship Top Goalscorer, just signed a contract & playing at the peak of his career, for only £10m. The last window selling one of English Football’s brightest young talents, just signed a contract & didn’t want to leave, for only £18m. What a joke. Fuck off Venkys.
