I'm sat at home with a bad cold or I'd be sat in the Jack Walker Stand now bitching to everyone in earshot.

Harrison Reid scoring against us would be a kick in the teeth. Did absolutely nothing for us and has proven to be a middling Championship player.

Get out. It's an ill-advised, mistimed challenge. Zero malice behind it.

He's another one of these refs that we either ruined the childhood of, or they've got their nose so far up the arse of the 'big' club that they can't call games fairly. I used to think refs down here were just abysmal. Now I think they're abysmal and biased.

It's already an embarrassing scoreline - they're no great shakes.

Why is that a red, but the Derby player trying to break Gallagher's leg is only a yellow?

God this ref is awful. Again.

Well that and they've got a half decent manager and we haven't.

Does Mercer have any money left at this point?

Is Robinson the lad who thought he was going to one of the Milan clubs? Imagine ending up at Fulham - what a kick in the balls.

4-3-3 with Buckley playing as a False 9. Which is what you always ask your make-shift RB to do.

I think he can be a brilliant player at this level when he turns it on, but those mistakes are why he's going to be stuck at this level. You have to live with flawed players when you're in a cloggers league I'm afraid.

Soft goal that - obviously been told not to try too hard or we'll end up in the Playoffs.

I think you're getting ahead of yourself with the Cowboys prediction.

Buckley playing as a false 9 or a #10 with Dolan and Brereton pushed on?

Tough isn't the word I'd use to describe Serbians, but I'll leave politics out of it.

LOL SKY literally haven't spoken about Rovers so far.

Perhaps if he goes to a club that doesn't ask him to roam the entire right flank on his own every week he won't break down as much.

It just concedes the game. We couldn't get our foot on the ball in the second half because every clearance just comes straight back at you.

Obviously bottled it - didn't fancy coming to Fortress Ewood to face the boo boys.

I mean if you're going to do it at home against Reading and Luton you're going to do it away against anyone. He's a terrible, terrible manager.

Khadra gave away a stupid FK away at LB. They bullied our defence, won the first ball and smashed in the second ball.

It's definitely in the loan contract we signed with them.

And now the ref misses a studs up challenge on Travis. He's godawful.

This is what I don't understand about referees - very happy to give out yellow cards for cynical professional fouls, but bottling giving a red card for a dangerous wild scything lunge. If you look at the stats after this game we look like a very dirty team - we're anything but.
