Fleck must have been laughing his tiny useless shinpads off at the approach. At least McFadz has shown some application, even if he is slower than your grandma.

Someone at this sodding club must enjoy Russian Roulette 😞 Why on earth we kept pussy-footing around at the edge of the box rather than going route one and bludgeoning a goal I will never know. FFS skin of teeth into a sodding gale, because you just know Leicester will take this lot to absolute pieces..

Brittain should have had a pop from there, or leave it to someone who can strike the ball. Wasted opportunity 😞

I see the Blackburn End upper tier is half open this afternoon too. That bodes well for a good turn out. Sadly couldn't make it today due to a bout of tonsilitis and horrible conjunctivitis with a temperature. Hoping Rovers can keept their cool and that the Sky Blues don't have me blowing my top 😉 COYB!!

Big miss that from the Szmodster..

We'll be seeing that on YouTube for donkeys years to come.. FFS

I don't actually believe that...

FOOK

I'm actually sobbing with relief..

10 minutes in. Stats from BBC showing Rovers 14% possession. Things can only get better... Oh, hang on... 😞

Ruddy shrinkflation - The Pennines have become Pennies according to la Plod. Fair play to 1700 gullible and hardy souls for going like lambs to the slaughter in the wars of the Roses.

Well, at least it's not boring, watching the Rovers. I'm another who thinks Hyam has lost the plot, and seems bizarrely disinterested in the simple job of doing his job. Gawd knows what happens in training, but someone needs to call him out for his complete lack of professionalism, and remind him that his job is to defend our goal, not to add to the potency of the opponents' attack. I think what we saw at Sunderland was the last time this season that the side was properly balanced, motivated and facing opposition with similar problems of inconsistency as ourselves. Sadly I think we will be overwhelmed today, and our abject capitulation at Bristol will be followed by another dispiriting slump towards the trap door. Best case 2-1 with Sammie grabbing a neat consolation and adding to his transfer value.. Worst case - hide behind the sofa come 2.15pm Most likely case - sore bums all round.

None of which will ever be used to fund the acquisition of replacements. Haven't you twigged yet? Any windfall money coming in from player sales gets mysteriously trousered somewhere between Ewood and Pune, and we continue to reduce operational outgoings (including player wages, maintenance of the stadium and infrastructure, marketing) year on year, with no sign at all of any money flowing from the sale of players to the managers' hit lists. Wakey wakey!

All a bit frenetic at the moment. Rovers should be behind, and Sammie taken a knock but running it off. I wish we wouldn't persist with the fannying it out from the back. All up for grabs

I think it probably loses some of it's impact due to the accent, but I'd certainly like to be a fly on the wall when you start bandying that phrase about State-side 🙂 Nervous about this one - we do have a tendency to smoke our own exhaust sometimes, especially after having had a good day out earlier in the week... It should be a decent game of football, if Rovers turn up, and yes, they can all bugger off if they don't! 😉 COYB!
