I’ve been saying that for years. Managers have come and gone but the lack of fighters in the team remains the same.

They must have no pride in who they are and no self respect then. If somebody did that to me when I was playing I’d be counting the days to the return match and win lose or draw that lad would have known all about it.

I’d blow that up big style and have copies all around the dressing room walls for the return game.

None on the pitch.

Yeah, “ disappointed “ is when you accidentally put too much salt on your chips. Or your dog accidentally knocks over your cup of tea. Today wasn’t “ disappointing “, it was off the scale.

“ Disappointed “ is that it ? Some of us won’t sleep tonight after that no show. If they had any feelings for the club and its fans at all there would be a written apology in tomorrows paper signed by every person involved in todays “ game “. Starting with the manager.

If that’s what he really thinks I’m worried. How many away performances have been equally poor ?

In the original Minis v Ferraris game at least the dingles had a go.

He obviously didn’t understand the importance of the fixture at all. Kompany has lived in the North West a long while, he knew how much this matters. From me it’s a real black mark against JDT and whoever pulled on a shirt today. Totally unacceptable for Blackburn Rovers.

Have we scored a goal after conceding the first goal ?

Mola played 3/4 of the Wham game and then came off ! Why start him today ? Has JDT apologised yet ?

Tony didn’t like them.

I wouldn’t mind if our football was worthy of 7th place but it’s more worthy of 7th from the bottom.

Well, in the great game of “ Snakes and Ladders “ that is football management JDT just landed on the biggest snake on the board. Back to the bottom row.

I did.

We’re set up not to get the best out what skills our players have. There should be an almighty bust in up in that dressing room after the game. Of course that’s if we have any leaders in there. That’s what I lay at Mowbray’s door - in all the time he was here he never signed one player who you would be frightened of crossing, not one,

Have one for me. I’m too depressed to bother.

He could have the next twelve months and it still won’t work. You’re either a ball player or you’re aren’t. You’re either a tackler or you aren’t. You’re either quick or you aren’t. Those things can be improved marginally but at the end of the day you can’t turn the likes of Ayala into a Baresi or a Beckenbauer.

I got shouted down last week when I complained about our performance against the bottom of league at home. We just carried on from last week today only we were playing a team who could finish. I’m not impressed so far with our style of play, we aren’t Barcelona and the sooner the manager realises that the better.

Not in my opinion, bigger clubs than Rovers will have spotted him.

I thought you would.

One of the other Spanish keepers in the squad , Robert Sanchez, was on loan at Rochdale earlier. He reminded me a lot of Raya. He was capable of jaw dropping saves and also made the odd clanger. I had him marked down as one for the future when he was at the ‘Dale.

Maybe comparing the Raya that was here with Kaminski but it looks like Raya has improved significantly at Brentford. If they were both to be sold tomorrow Raya would be worth a good bit more in terms of transfer fees I suspect.

Aussies versus New Zealand tonight - what a brilliant game. Best game of rugby league I’ve seen in a long while.

Villa are reputedly looking to sign an “ A List Striker “ in January. Is BBD an “ A List Striker “ or a “ B List Striker “ ?
