Predicting we will have a howler in the first 10 mins, Pears pass out from the back to Hyam, Hyam back to Pears, Pears to Hyam and Hyam to one of theirs 10 yards from the edge of the box… Hyam shits out of the challenge, Pears flaps, 1-0 Cardiff we kick off again, Dolan breaks down the flank, does too much - loses possession Cardiff break, we flap, cross comes in, Pears punches it to one of theirs, they smash it and it’s wide, goal kick to Gueye, play’s Dolan in to run at defence, he spins, twists and turns and loses possession we pass the ball around to shadows before the break we have a good chance, pass played forward Gueye offside somehow we scramble an equaliser, time waste for 30 mins, end of game - 1 point in, fuck all to play for, VI talks about observing improvement and resolve Chaddy is buzzing that we got back into it and optimistic for next season

Saw this line up suggested on the LET site as a potential solution…. What crack are some people smoking Pears Britain, Carter, Hyam, Ribeiro JRC, Tronstad, Buckley, Cozier-Duberry Gueye, Woodrow Lose this game and season is truly over

How many points has Pears cost us over the last two seasons? admittedly he was far improved earlier in the season but seems to have reverted to type

No sell on value in this fella though, so stuck with him for now

Said at the time was a poor uninspiring appointment how wrong I was it’s a fucking dismal, weak, desperate appointment and questions need to be raised how a 3 year deal was offered all of us said at the time - short time high pay til end of season and get quality once again rovers - waggot has us fucking ourselves and do it royally

PEARS - nowhere near good enough ACD - Waster Dolan - 180 out of 200 games a waster season done waggot, pasha fuck off

This lot have wasted how many minutes?

This is piss poor and absolutely baffling pears needs to fuck right off and never wear the shirt again… waster players don’t look at the races or heart not in it….

I feel quite underwhelmed and concerned - granted he has champ experience but feels like a desperate hire I worry he will tinker with the system the players are comfortable with and we can kiss any hope of a top 6 goodbye ah well, the one consistent thing about Rovers these last 14 years is we always find a way to scrape the shit barrel - 3 weeks to appoint bloody Ismael…. hope I’m very wrong but I think we’ve just rolled over and fucked it

Would like to see (assuming cantwell back is better) Toth Britain Carter hyam ribiero Travis JRC ACD Ohashi Kargbo Gueye not a fan of ACD on all showing so far this season but prefer to Dolans pirouette to nothingness when JRC is on it offers goal threat and doesn’t shirk a tackle give Ohashi 45 m and bring on Cantwell at half time and Dennis

Ismael is a nail in the top 6 coffin ⚰️

Starting to think Waggott or Suhail is on here masquerading as a very optimistic fan and trying to leverage some social proof to their way of making the shit seem positive … 🫠

Reading this thread and watching the lack of any ambition yesterday makes me think - some gravy train down at ewood how many of these players would be out of a job if we got promoted? I’d say maybe 3 players at a push could cut it in the prem and the bulk of that team are last legs journeymen picking up their final wage packets - why risk an easy ride by being sucfessful? Stay middling and get another year of wages ….

Totally wrong selection today and blunted us from the off Out of those playing thought Travis, Ribiero and Gueye played well enough, Dolan, Hedges and Weimann had a couple of opportunities being too slow to balls across from Gueye and we need to have players anticipating these knock downs, heads across the box or touches and be fast enough physically and mentally to be there. Buckley an improvement on Forshaw when he came on but still don’t think he is championship quality - nothing against players letting fly from outside the box, but he had a clear forward pass on and took a very poor crack at it and doesn’t really have it in his locker bar that one goal four years ago or so in extra time - this season he has hit a few pants shots out the box frustrated, disappointed and want to see some intent and going at it - we set up to fail just wanted to moan

we’re second to everything, poor poor team selection hedges shite pears shite dolan anonymous shite Obrien looks a player…

Would love to see pears Brittain Sanderson Hyam Ribiero Trav JRC Dennis cantwell Kargbo Gueye is beck injured? Could always start Beck for Kargbo and switch up later in the game Dolan for Cantwell when legs are tired

This has painted a horrible mental image of Waggott working hard and earning his 300k salary from a masked leather clad Pasha 🤣🤣🤣

Not holding out much hope or optimism with the starting 11 but hope to be pleasantly surprised, would like to see us go for them right out the blocks and show some intent thought cantwell showed flashes of real quality in the last game but needs other footballers around him who can play on his wavelength looks like a leggy slower team selection full of sideways and backwards passes

At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if Nixon is bullshit barrel scraping and suggests something like we are trying to tempt Steve McLaren away from a cushy Jamaica to Sunny Blackburn

I sincerely hope not for this one

Unfortunately rational forward thinkers our clubs board members and senior management are not… fully prepared to be totally underwhelmed by Waggot and Grandmaster Pash’s choice

Gavin the bastard

What a class act! Seems genuine, happy to be there and no over inflated ego what a gueye

85 on three

Really do wish there was a way to hijack the big screen at Ewood - shame it’s never in tv camera view though
