Er...thanks, but I was asking Tyrone!

He's either been injured or shit. If he controls the ball he gets a standing ovation.

When was the last time you enjoyed watching football at Ewood?

About my post? Let loose, I won't be offended😉

I don't think the anti-JDT mob have considered what comes next. It's not like we're going to get new owners, a better budget and a beefed up squad full of expensive new signings. We're a mid-table team with a bottom 3 budget. Of course, sub-standard performances are going to grate, but the outpouring of vitriol against a manager who has done a really good job in difficult circumstances since he joined the club is truly bizarre.

Hope springs eternal but if it's got to that stage then we're in trouble.

I think because he's a bit shy.

He's not a winger, I think he's been brought in because he has clear technical ability and has got a good finish on him. The real problem is we've nothing on the right. We need some variety, which means a player at RW who can beat people and has pace. Our wide players are one-dimensional. It's no surprise we were (apparently|) in for the Palace winger because he's quick and tricky.

I didn't think it was on, it's not listed on the Sky App as being a Red Button game. Hopefully you're right.

Ennis was awful, running round to very little effect with the ball bouncing off him every time he tried to hold it up. And I can assure they didn't push up 10-15 yards when HL came on because HL is quicker than Ennis. The reasons we lost is 1) Hyam went off 2) they brought on some rapid subs 3) Leo fell to pieces 4) Our legs went Nowt to do with HL replacing Ennis.

A few outliers at the bottom but, yeah, score first and you're not going to lose.

Seconded.

In fairness most clubs in the Championship will have similar records. If you score first in this league you have a very good chance of not losing.

Bizarre, you're taking like we're bottom of the league. He's exactly the right man for the circumstances, because he plays good football and gets enough wins to keep us safe in the upper half of the Championship. Who knows, with a bit of luck, we might even be challenging for PO's again come May like he had us doing last season.

He did all that regularly at Ewood in the first half of last season. People moaned about the football on offer. He has since achieved what he said he would when he first arrived at Ewood i.e. a distinctive style of fast attacking football. It doesn't always come off, and doesn't always result in wins, but the identity he has created is there for all to see. The idea that he is naive, as some have said, is laughable. He plays in a very deliberate way.

Opinions and all that, but I just thought Watford were more at it 2nd half. They closed us down a lot more aggressively from the start of the half. I don't think Ennis lumbering around slowly up front had much of an impact on the game in either half.

The other side of that coin is that we've won the joint 4th highest number of games away. Home and Away there are only 4 teams that have won more games than us. So the manager is clearly doing something right. Concentrating on the negatives in order to make a point isn't really a fair representation.

Thought he was a Mowbray target? Nice footballer but not sure where he plays. Out wide or striker?

We're 5 points off 6th at the half way mark. What were you expecting this season?

Some followers of football are quite stupid, and very entitled. I remember fans protesting against Don Mackay outside the main stand.

I think that was AW's best game in a Rovers shirt, which I don't think was a coincidence. With Garrett and Tronstad offering protection to the back 4, AW had a lot more freedom to get forward, capped a brilliant goal. When he inevitably moves to the PL I think he'll be more of an attacking mid. He's a bit wasted just sat in front of the back 4 starting off attacks. I liked the look of that midfield 3 yesterday. We looked more compact until their legs went late on. The conundrum is where do you play Szmodics? He isn't a striker or a winger.

We aren't.

And a fair few after the League Cup win. Soon it will be mostly lads who weren't born when the Venky's took over😒

There were a few in the away end bopping along enthusiastically to the Roses! I thought I spotted Cressa at one point!

My mate came along for the first time in a while today. He said the same about us not shooting, and trying to score the perfect goal. Siggy and Moran were particularly guilty of it. We are short of a fast, direct winger.
