Poor journalism as Travis started the match against Watford on the 23rd December, all be it at left back.

I would go: Flapper Brittain Hill Pickering Batty Trav MegaTron Wharton Dolan Szmodics Siggy Extra protection of Trav for the back 4, Wharton further forward to play some killer passes through the middle and through the channels.

Surely Patrick Gamble is worth a punt in defence?

Did you try and ring up? A friend of mine tried his luck first thing this morning and got one. There must have been a handful left after the original phase . Poor communication from the club all round really!

We’re Blackburn Boys We’re Blackburn Enders Dingle Fans are all s*x offenders!

Agreed and this weekends defeat wasn’t even close to the pasting we dished out that day at Ewood. At least we were still in the game at half time! Lets hope the players show that passion and fight at Ewood where we’ve been mostly excellent this season.

Your opinion on noise levels is irrelevant if you weren’t there. No retraction of statement. Comment on the game all you want. You’ve obviously got a bee in your pipe about not getting a ticket due to 1875 members. I’m an 1875 Member & Blackburn End Season Ticket Holder, this was my first away game of this season and I was singing as loudly as anyone, all be it not drunk or coked up like the usual rabble who go to local away games!

The noise level was great, it was absolutely bouncing before the game and we were by far the more vocal fans up until they scored. Don’t comment if you weren’t at the game. The fans gave their all and your 1875 member theory is ridiculous. Just a shame the players didn’t turn up! That’s the problem here.

It’s an absolute disgrace this, seen similar posts by Morton, Kaminski and Szmodics today. Clearly some were already on the beach yesterday. They should have been in work today debriefing on a pathetic performance. Even if not, certainly don’t post on social media. There should be a public club apology or by JDT. Clearly there is no understanding of how much this meant and how much they’ve let down the fans.

Glad you’re not picking the team! “Stick to 442” is what Sunday league managers do as it’s the only formation their tiny minds can process

The shift to the side and strike into the opposite corner is straight out of the coaching manual…the keepers weight shifts onto the opposite foot before the shot comes in making it very difficult to save. The defending is very poor, showing him onto his stronger foot but AW took full advantage. He was also involved in the build up too so it’s a great goal all round 👍🏻

New song for Hull as per Arsenal’s Super Mik Arteta chant… ”We’ve got Super JDT He knows exactly what we need Hyam at the back, Gally in attack Rovers on their way to Premier League” Having watched Arsenal All Or Nothing recently the parallels with Arteta & JDT are similar…both in their early 40’s with distinguished playing careers, with limited experience managing a club after a long period of under achievement and instability. Both with very young teams and implementing a new structure and system with an emphasis on youth development. Like last season at Arsenal we’re very inconsistent currently but over time with the same consistent message and way of playing and further investment in the squad - we could be flying even higher this time next year; unbeaten and several points clear at the top! 🤞 Going for another 2-1 Rovers victory at Hull. They’ve lost 8 games and have the worst goal difference in the league so we should be looking for the W on current form and with a week to prepare. COYB 🌹

The 3rd round is strangely not until the week commencing 8th November…hopefully we’ll have a decent back 4 by then!

Excellent win tonight for the boys in blue. We played at a good tempo throughout and looked a level above Bradford. Some tasty challenges flying about in the first half but we stood up to them well. Ratings as follows: Pears 6/10 Not a lot to do. JRC 6/10 Solid enough performance but nothing special Morton 7/10 Great performance filling in at CB, looks like a real leader, excellent passing ability. Annesley 6/10 a little shaky but did a good job overall and a fantastic goal saving challenge at the end Edun 4/10 Poor. Gave the ball away a lot and seemed to have a poor attitude overall. Left back is clearly not his position but he really should be doing a lot better against a side of this quality if he wants to have any chance of getting into the first team Adam Wharton 7/10 This kid has real potential, plays with a casual Grealish-esque style but has a real turn of pace & great skill when required. Garrett 6/10 nothing remarkable but did a good job in midfield, again a lot of potential Markanday 8/10 and my MOM, tricky, direct and good finish for his goal. Superb turn to beat 2 defenders in 2nd half & a run that almost resulted in a penalty when about to pull the trigger, was just outside the box though. Dack 7/10 some decent touches and an excellent finish after a typical run into the box. Getting better but not the player he was pre-injury. Dolan 6/10 tried hard and a good assist but for me his end product is poor Vale 7/10 tireless running and pressing all night and a great run and assist for Markandays goal. Subs: No standouts but as always Diaz looked a cut above the rest

No need to panic, Reading played very well tonight and we weren’t at it at all following Sunday’s game which obviously took a lot out of them. We are still top of the Championship with the most wins and most points and we’d have all taken that before the season started. Hopefully reinforcements to the squad will come in soon as tonight highlights how we cannot expect to be at the top of our game at every match playing 3 times in 6 days. Until then, time to regroup and go again Saturday. COYB 🌹

So am I after that result 😆

Great video behind the scenes…if 2 or 3 of the Academy lads can make the step up and compete for a first team place & we make some decent signings we’ll be laughing 😆 It’s a big IF but we’ll get there! Really excited about this group of young players & our manager #COYB 🌹

So all these fans can’t afford £400 for a ST but have seemingly deep pockets to buy substandard food & overpriced beer? What a load of rubbish. I stand by my original comments. It’s a fair price and the club have seen sense by extending the early bird offer. Slightly biased but the product on offer at Ewood is significantly better than Bolton or Preston. No guarantees their early birders will go on every week anyway if they’re not doing well! We the Rovers, Pride of Lancashire and Come On You Blues! 🌹

Renewed yesterday. A lot of moaning and misery on here about pricing but I’m excited for the season ahead now a great management structure is in place at the club. If you want to go and watch Preston, Wigan or Bolton instead of Rovers my advice would be crack on!

Absolute rubbish he was excellent last season and one of the best defenders in the Championship; making it into the Team of the Season. He’s replaceable but we will miss his leadership and Championship experience. One of the reasons Van Hecke & Wharton were so good last season is due to the influence of Lenihan alongside them, often doing the dirty work of winning headers and ugly defending, as well as being good on the ball in more advanced positions.

No chance but he won’t be moved on. He’s got 9 goals this season despite spending most of it on the wing or the bench.

Rubbish, he’s only just signed a new contract and given his recent step up in form i’m convinced Gallagher is a half decent footballer when played consistently as a centre forward. He’s been badly mis managed under Mowbray.

Baffling ref even more baffling manager! Can we sack Mowbray at Half Time?

Return of the Dack…to join the attack…he loves Blackburn Rovers and on his way back! 💙🌹🎶

Mowbray Out 😮
