Honestly, it's over - the players looked absolutely gutted on the lap of honour. They clearly didn't want to come out. -

I was embarrassed for Hedges when he couldn't stand Bell up when one-on-one. That's grounds for retirement. -

They're just honestly not good enough. There's no shame in it as they're trying their hardest (bar Brereton-Diaz), but Mowbray left the cupboard bare. -

Exiled_Rover replied to roverandout's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
He can't score the goals for them - and I suspect he'd be our best CF if he put his boots back on. Hedges, Dolan, Gallagher, Vale and Thomas aren't goal scorers. Brereton-Diaz was before he mentally switched off when he signed his contract in Spain - oh and Dack is finished. I would have liked JDT to give Leonard more game time, but again that's asking an inexperienced 19 year old Academy graduate to win the game for you - they're already asking all of the play to go through A. Wharton. -

And he had us 2nd at the World Cup break. Why wasn't he backed with a quality striker on loan? Preston have 3 of them ffs. We'd be comfortably in the playoffs, if not pushing for automatics, with a goal scorer. -

I feel really sorry for him - he's the best manager we've had since being relegated from the PL and he simply hasn't been backed. We play some lovely football and a good number of players have improved dramatically under his guidance - I'll be sad to see him go in the summer. -

No he doesn't, that's why he's scored so few goals this year. Lovely goal today, but he's a shell of his former self. -

Which is why I'm holding off renewing my season ticket. Same as I did last year. -

He's a PL referee, apparently. He was terrible, like all the rest. -

I'm yet to see a referee that is good enough. Maybe this lad will show us how it's done. -

Yeah, I mean he totally didn't take over a well rounded squad from a bloke that was poached by Southampton. 👍 -

Managers that have had time to assemble their own squads? -

Hedges was £200k. I think Kaminski was £300k. -

He's getting paid £800k a week. I wouldn't call him a bargain - they're paying a premium price for a premium product, as they can. -

I think there's a good chance Leicester and Everton would be in serious financial trouble if they get relegated. I'm all for the PL teams sliding down the pyramid, tbh. -

Their relegation was confirmed yesterday. -

I only use the term 'bottled' when I think players are talented enough, but lack the nerve. We simply don't have any goal scorers in the team. -

Can you sack your CEO? -
Seems Palace only put their wins on their YT channel. Shame, that. I'm not signing up to watch anything.

I'd play Leonard at #9 with Hedges wide left and Thomas wide right. Brereton wouldn't even make the bench. -

Exiled_Rover replied to roverandout's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
It's not even a bad run - we're playing well, just nobody can put the ball in the back of the net. Speaking of, Undav scored two today for Brighton. That would have been a nice January signing. -

It's been death by a thousand cuts since January. There's only so many times you can roll a combination of Hedges, Dolan, Gallagher and the corpse of Brereton-Diaz out there and expect something positive to happen. -

I have to chuckle at everyone trying to work out the way we can sneak into the Playoffs at the end of the season. We could have been 7 points clear of the chasing pack if we'd beaten Birmingham. We simply don't score enough goals - imagine having to play Boro. They'd embarrass us. Roll on next season and, hopefully, a very productive summer transfer window. -

I gave up on the season when the January transfer window slammed shut without at least one striker brought in. We didn't even give ourselves a chance I'm afraid. -

Anyone from Wigan we'd want?
