The attendance numbers are awful for a reason. -
Oh they'll absolutely do us. A bunch of talented show ponies with zero pressure and a party atmosphere? We're going to get battered.

This is not true. Chrisene is a better WB than Pickering. Ayari should, quite frankly, be starting most games in CM and McFadzean has won multiple MOTM awards in 6 months. The problem is we didn't bring in any pace or a CF. Again.

The blame lies squarely at the feet of the owners. This squad cost a tuppence and a button to assemble - and the tuppence was spent 4+ years ago on Gallagher. -

Oh he was definitely trying to get sacked. -

I think he's your standard Championship manager. The previous guy was much better, but he was far too ambitious for this lot. A. Wharton aside is a massive caveat considering he was the best player on the pitch most weeks - and evidently continues to be so in the Premier League too. -

If we stay up it's job well done, but by god if we don't reinvest the A. Wharton / Raya money in the summer we're going down next season for sure. -

Going down swinging is how we got into this predicament in the first place. If JDT had been more pragmatic around Christmas, rather than stubbornly playing suicidal football (sending both his FBs bombing on and getting caught on the break time after time) we wouldn't be discussing Birmingham / Plymouth / Sheffield Wednesday now. -

I disagree. Eustace is a fine manager - the problem is everyone is comparing him to an excellent manager that literally paid to leave the club. Said excellent manager also had a better squad. There's also no way he's fired if we get relegated - they don't pay off contracts and he has a 2.5 year one. -

You'd be crying if we went to 4 at the back and they scored the winner on the break too. We simply have no pace - you don't change formation there when you're in control. -

If they don't invest for 4 consecutive transfer windows, then yes, we're doomed. -
v Coventry City (h) - 27/4/24
Exiled_Rover replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Disagree there. We absolutely couldn't afford to lose that game and we were in complete control of it with the current formation. Change players, not formation, in that situation. -

I'm still amazed we allegedly turned down a £2m offer from Ipswich for him in January. -

We've just not nothing upfront. It's painful. -

He's much, much happier in a back 3. -

Desperate for a win. Coventry down to 10 men. Two subs (one enforced). A damning indictment of the bench. -

Coventry play acting and time wasting in a completely irrelevant game to them when we're fighting for our lives. What a nasty club. -

At least he had a pop. I'd try to sign him if the price is reasonable - he's got something about him. -

Is he on the bench? You surely have to throw him on - Moran too. -

He did blow the chance - he was running through with Szmodics to his left and Gallagher to his right. -

We're in desperate need of a good set piece taker - especially with Eustace's tactics. -

Exiled_Rover replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
He's a good CB and has been a good emergency signing - his legs have just clearly gone. -

That was coming - we are so, so, so slow and it really shows in transition. JDT's teams got slaughtered for it all season. -

As cheap as McFadzean's red against Plymouth so I have no sympathy. -

That's nonsense - but there are only about 5 or 6 players you're happy to see in your starting XI. We need a major squad overhaul (and investment).
