I could be wrong but I think the fact that all the teams around us have to play each other, it would be difficult for someone to put a real run together. Still think that it may just be around 70.

Not necessarily - if they have been planning on sacking their Manager for a while, they may someone lined up.

This team but another 2-0 🙏

They have lost their last few home games. Had decent possession but not much in attack according to the stats. I’d be playing Kargbo from the start and Buckley to try and get some balls in behind.

I think we will need around 70 points. I don’t think it’ll be much higher and could be around 68-69. On that basis I’d be very happy if we got 20 points. I think it’s achievable if we continue with the same mentality as the last two games, we get the injured players back and don’t lose anymore!

Thanks to all that answered re the tactics. Appreciate it. Absolutely buzzing 😊

I haven’t seen any of the match yet - what do you think the difference is with JE’s setup and this? Feels a bit more attacking but keeping clean sheets - I am no football tactic guru so genuinely interested.

5th Rovers; Norwich, Boro, Sheffield W, Sunderland, Watford, Sheffield U 6th West Brom; Leeds, QPR, Burnley, Norwich, Sunderland, Bristol, Watford, Coventry 7th Coventry; Sunderland, Sheffield U, Burnley, West Brom, Boro 8th Bristol City; Boro, Sheffield U, Norwich, Burnley, Watford, West Brom, QPR, Sunderland, Leeds 9th Sheffield Weds; Burnley, Sunderland, Norwich, Sheffield U, Rovers, Boro, Watford 10th Watford; Bristol, West Brom, Burnley, Rovers, Sheff W 11th Boro; Bristol City, QPR, Rovers, Leeds, Sheffield W, Norwich, Coventry 12th Norwich; Rovers, Sheffield W, Bristol, West Brom, Sunderland, Burnley, Boro 13th QPR; Sheff U, West Brom, Boro, Leeds, Bristol, Burnley and Sunderland. Good win for Coventry today and QPR continuing their good form. QPR have a very difficult run in though. Looking at the above and today's results, I am going to say that this week's ones to watch are Watford and Coventry. I think West Brom, Bristol and Sheff W may start to fall away. I am not commenting on Rovers...

Is it a case of wanted Foreshaw to sit deep to allow Trav to get forward more? Feel like he thinks this will allow more of an attacking threat, but odd after the way we played against West Brom. ACD was poor when he came on. Not convinced - hope they prove me wrong!

I’d be very disappointed if ACD starts. Foreshaw actually looked better than I thought he was going to, but then my expectations were very low! If Buckley is injured, we really need Tronstad back ASAP.

I’ll try and update the thread as we progress through the end of the season. Will be an interesting game PNE v Burnley.

Just looking at the run ins of the teams in contention. I know there are no easy games in the championship, but everyone seems to have lots of tricky games with the teams around them West Brom have got Leeds, QPR, Burnley, Norwich, Sunderland, Bristol, Watford, Coventry Bristol City have Middlesbrough, QPR, Sheffield United, Norwich, Burnley, Watford, West Brom, Sunderland, Leeds Sheffield Weds have Coventry, Burnley, Sunderland, Norwich, Sheffield United, Rovers, Boro, Watford Boro have Watford, Bristol City, QPR, Rovers, Leeds, Sheffield W, Norwich, Coventry Coventry have Sheffield W, Sunderland, Sheffield U, Burnley, West Brom, Boro Norwich have Rovers, Sheffield W, Bristol, West Brom, Sunderland, Burnley, Boro Watford have Boro, Bristol, West Brom, Burnley, Rovers, Sheff W We have Norwich, Boro, Sheffield W, Sunderland, Watford, Sheff U After tonight’s win adding in QPR: they have Sheff U, West Brom, Boro, Leeds, Bristol, Burnley and Sunderland. Sheff W, Bristol and QPR’s run in looks brutal. Think Boro maybe have the best run in so may take a spot QPR and Coventry are in good form but have tough fixtures coming up. Who has momentum? Who do you think will make the play offs?

Sorry just out for dinner - not for Valentine’s 😂 Feel free but may need to add QPR in, although their run in also looks tough

What about, to ‘It’s now or never’ It’s now or never He is the key It’s Lewis Travis He hates Burnley Tomorrow will be too late It’s now or never Play offs won’t wait Appreciate this is only suitable for the position now 😂

Plymouth have done really well recently but they have also had a penalty in each of their last three games. Hopefully we can keep them from scoring…and not give a penalty away. Need to be disciplined.

I think Pasha would inform them if it was a discussion and I think they would care. Not because they care about the club, but after sacking him when we were in the Prem, their egos would not allow it.

Can we have a constant round of ‘we want Venky’s / Pasha / Waggot out, say we want Venky’s / Pasha / Waggot out’. Changing the names every now and again.

I would love Big Sam back, especially after that cheeky wink at the end of that clip, but there is no chance in hell Venky’s would allow that. I genuinely don’t know who I would pick out of that Nixon list. I just know that I don’t rate O’Neil.

I’d go: Pears Brittain Hyam Batth Beck Travis Buckley Dolan Dennis Kargbo Gueye I don’t think Dennis liked being out wide (hopefully just struggling with fitness so didn’t do any running when out wide!)

It’s even more frustrating that results seem to keep going our way. He would genuinely still have had a shot at top six. I hope the players rally tomorrow. And I hope negotiations don’t break down because his situation is now untenable. We would be left with a manager that clearly doesn’t want to be here and will have likely lost the dressing room. There is no way they would sack him as they wouldn’t want to pay him off!

Disgraceful statement. As a club, we should act with more class, but it’s difficult when those running the show are classless. ‘Significant investment’ - it’s just laughable. When will the media pay attention to what is going on I am gutted. I had hoped that JE would have stayed until the end of the season, especially the way he has talked about togetherness and connecting the fans and players. Going on about a Blackburn family. I really thought that meant he knew what the owners were like but would try for the fans and the players, at least until this season was done. The players will be fuming; will that turn Wednesday into a terrible performance as a protest or light a fire in their bellies. Who knows, but I just pray it’s the latter I would love it if we somehow managed to get into the playoffs and got promotion. Would that increase our chances of getting rid of these absolute scumbags? Probably not but I can dream!

Does anyone know what cars Steve and Suhail drive? If so, can we print a mixture of Eustace’s face, Adam Wharton, Sammie and a mixture of posts from here and stick them all over their cars.

Every time I think a team is going to go on a little run or get a result they don’t. Bristol City lost to Swansea today. A few earlier additions and we could have been solidly in 5th with a nice gap. I still have hope but we need to keep Eustace and get Tronstad back ASAP.

I actually think we have done well, apart from two soft goals. I like the look of Ribeiro and Kargbo. Dennis looks better than I thought he would after time out. We are missing a lot of key players. Cantwell really poor.
