v Plymouth Argyle (h) - 09/03/2024
Gamst replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I’m clutching at straws here, but facing the top teams at the end of the season is not the worst time to play them. They are all pushing for the automatic spots and pressure can do strange things to good teams. The end of the season always throws up some surprise results. A couple of fluke wins might be enough or failing that we rely on 2 of our competitors crashing badly and us stumbling over the line and a few more draws. -
A lot of negativity around (rightly so). Last night was pretty lame, but it was a 6 pointer and losing would have been a lot worse.

Based on the form of teams at the bottom we are set to finish 23rd. To think we were in 6th on the run up to Christmas this is worse than relegation form. Something will have to change quickly to avoid the inevitable.

Where on earth did that come from? Unbelievable performance and such a fantastic effort. Defended heroically and kept a brilliant shape all match and managed to have an attacking threat. When you look at the shambles of the past 2 months and given the tough recent schedule, the performance was exceptional! JE has converted us from a defensive horror show to a defensive masterclass in a few short weeks. Finally something to be proud of!

John Eustace - our head coach
Gamst replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Given the complete shambles that was December and January, I think Eustace has done really well to make us competitive again. Some wins would be nice, but its certainly refreshing to not go into each game expecting to concede at least 3 goals. -
Given the complete circus that is Rovers at the moment, this seems like a remarkably decent appointment. Fingers crossed he helps arrest our rapid decline.

Jon Dahl Tomasson - Officially No Longer Our Head Coach

We can’t sign a player or sack a manager without delays and confusion. We are absolutely useless at everything. -
v Stoke City (h) - 11/02/2024
Gamst replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
The way I see it is that we have a manager who wants to be sacked but a club who are too tight/disinterested to pay him off. We absolutely mustn’t go into a crunch match in this position. It’s looking increasingly likely that we will though. Sleepwalking to relegation. -

I know the board are busy finger pointing and buck passing, but at any vaguely functional club there would be some attention given to the current form. You either back or sack the manager. It would show that they had a vague interest in the club's fortunes. I can't see anything other than defeat given that we have a manager who doesn't want to be here and players who presumably would leave given half a chance. This degree of apathy is only going to lead to relegation. -
That *was* the January Window

I am not the suspicious sort. I generally don’t give much credence to a conspiracy theory. I’m truly dumbfounded though (and aghast ) by our 3rd transfer related administrative error of the year. If reports are to be believed, we supposedly finished the paperwork at 8pm. I’m assuming you receive some kind of receipt from the EFL to confirm the paperwork is received and then some notification of a successful registration? At 10.30pm having not had any EFL reply, rather than calling the EFL to check on the status of the transfer, instead we take some pics of GB and the player and just announce the signing nevertheless. If this is genuinely incompetence and not willing negligence then the incredible lack of safeguards and oversight is beyond belief. We were reported to be interested in McGuire in early December I think. We have obviously been working on this deal for a long time and you’d think one of the many adults in the room might double and triple check the paperwork and the submission. When you submit an important essay or you transfer a large amount of money for a tax bill you triple and quadruple check. It really doesn’t add up and despite my generally trusting disposition I smell a rat. -

I have a suspicion we may have signed the player but not actually registered him to play. -

Theres a pun in there about Venkys 'coming home to roost'. -

It has to be the Newcastle match on BBC 1 for maximum impact. It seems like the perfect opportunity. Something peaceful, law abiding and poignant. Maybe 20 000 people clucking on 17 and 85 mins. I dare say the Newcastle fans would join in. Chicken based arm actions optional. -

You are completely right. It has all the hallmarks of owners who don't care. Every decision seems to take aeons. Theres just no accountability and indecision at every turn. We are just completely paralysed by incompetence. If the owners had a vague interest they would sack all the board and JDT tonight. We clearly need a completely fresh start but this will just drag on for weeks like it did with Kean and Shaw and the outcome will likely be relegation and the shrinking of our club and its reputation. I'm grateful to JDT for shining a torch on the chaos and subterfuge behind the scenes but the toxicity is spilling over onto the pitch and any board worth its salt would act decisively. -

Im just really struggling to fathom how they could have got it wrong again? I suppose if you don't sack the responsible parties due to a complete lack of interest in events at Ewood park then you can't be surprised when it happens again? Surely you triple and quadruple check every last detail after what happened last year? Its just inconceivable that this could have happened again! Im still reeling from the O'Brien debacle and joked on the transfer thread on deadline day about the flashbacks I was having. Its just outrageous. How are these people still in handsomely paid jobs?
