He made his statement by rolling out basically the same team that scraped by against Norwich - including Calamity Pears.

I thought there was a foul on Ribeiro in the lead up to that Yates miss.

Ohashi should have scored and we should have had a penalty (and potentially Phillips sent off for bringing Ohashi down). It's not fair to say we didn't lay a glove on them - but we did gift them a 2 goal lead. Very few teams can come back from that.

Doesn't matter, we're stuck with this clown for the next 3 years - we don't pay compensation.

It was obvious a couple of months ago we absolutely were good enough, but we needed quality additions to bolster the squad - a squad that was run down after the festive period (i.e. today is the first time Travis and Tronstad have played together in 14 games). Instead we penny pinched again, threw away January as a result and lost our manager.

The Cantwell hatred is completely out of control. He was fine today.

Now, now, lets not be hasty. It's clear as day that ACD won't have a career in the PL though, he's horrendous.

I'm so glad I snapped my season ticket in half. I need to take a break from this football club - it's just a misery factory.

I wouldn't mind someone leaving one on Adams, he's a massive cunt.

Because said Head Coach challenged him. Same with Broughton. He wasn't about to have his authority challenged - happy to take the £500/750k payment and find another mug to manage us for the next 12 months.

They're absolutely running through the back of us for every challenge - this ref is a joke. Clarke went in with a scissor tackle there on Ribeiro - that used to be a red.

Woodrow doesn't look much cop.

This lad will take us down.

Blatant foul on Gueye for a penalty not given. Good stuff.

Let's hope their GK is fucked and the backup is awful.

Cantwell and Woodrow on for Dolan and Ohashi btw.

Adams needs booking for diving.

So can this Woodrow bloke play football? Get him on for Dolan.

This one is letting the crowd ref it.

I'm a Blackburn Rovers fan. There is no hope.

It means that players are around Gueye when he wins those flick ons / knock downs. I imagine it's what the new manager will eventually pivot to when he gets his own players in (whoever they may be).

Is he?

You'd think if he's on that sort of money they'd BLOODY PLAY HIM.

We've been the better side since their goals - granted those goals are what are going to win them the game. They're horrendous by the way. Absolutely horrendous.

Ohashi fouled through on goal. Ref bottled it.
