I'm glad we are developing Elliott more than Dolan even at this late stage. I'm sure we will reap the dividends of that next season.

Belgian league.

Dack's lack of compassion for Ben was pretty amusing.

I meant to put money on Jutkiewicz scoring (go me if I spelt that right without checking), but forgot. He always seems to notch against us.

Just saw it back again and my suspicion that the lad on the floor's legs caught Kaminski's was right. I don't think he did it on purpose but certainly be harsh to blame Kaminski too much for dropping it, considering.

This isn't just a weaker side. Half of it is the youth team of a weaker side. Nobody should take encouragement from this unless we win 10-1.

It will need a different manager to ever see it. I reckon if Tony fielded a 4-4-2 he would get an instant aneurysm.

Nailed on for the Preston job last I heard.

Fucking hell that was woeful Buckley. I think that's the worst shot we have had all season, and Ben Brereton has been a regular.

Yes, I agree. But the poster was operating on the belief that a thrashing could do the job, so it was a fair thing to say. Personally I think you should apologise, but that's up to you of course.

Don't worry yourself for one second. It was a very rational thing to say and Paul was bang out of order to say you're not a real fan. Sorry you've had a tough time, hope it picks up.

Dack paying a lot of attention to our season. Says Arma is good at penalties, doesn't miss many. Commentators mention a couple he missed. 'Yeh you're allowed to miss one or two'. Missed 3 or 4 this season.

Don't forget the fishing and golf. Surprised they have time to fit in any mention of the sport we are actually playing.

Did the lad on the floor catch Kaminski's legs with his own? Definitely nobody bundled into his back.

Player of the year.

Tempting fate there.

Pissed off Dolan isn't starting and that absolutely nobody we haven't seen before is even on the bench in a meaningless game! I expected the latter after seeing the u23 lineup last night, but it's still irritating as hell. The man just isn't a forward thinker at all. Get out of our club Tony, you've outstayed your welcome

The craziest part is, if we played Portsmouth, Mowbray would probably be agreeing with Crowley!

https://www.lancs.live/sport/football/transfer-news/blackburn-rovers-curtis-portsmouth-rumour-20542170 It's cute that Cowley thinks we aren't a bigger club than Portsmouth. And that, by implication of what he is saying, neither are the likes of Forest, Derby, Norwich etc.

Think Butterworth is still injured. Annesley only came off the bench whereas he usually starts, but I expect that doesn't mean he will have any involvement tomorrow. Especially with Ayala already taking a centre half bench spot. Massive missed opportunity to take a proper look at the kids, but Mowbray has form for this. No matter how early our season is over.

You don't need qualifications to give an opinion on football.

Well, the u23 lineup suggests that Tony has talked almost instantly disproveable bollocks again in suggesting he might mix it up, unless he just meant the usual tombola suspects. All of the u23 squad I'd expect to be considered appear to be playing unless I'm forgetting someone. Again I find myself in the undesirable position of thinking it won't be that big a deal if we lose. Partly as it doesn't matter now but also because Brum seem expected to play a lot of youth. If they win it further shows up what youth (worse youth than ours) can bring to the party. I really feel for Pike in particular. Still possible none of our current RBs will be here next year and he isn't even being backed for a glimpse in a dead rubber.

Those questions sparked the petulant answers, but if all was well I don't think those answers would have been anywhere near that petulant. He has noticeably returned to being calm and unconcerned.

Most of it is to Venkys themselves yes. I think at this point probably something like 170-180 million of it at a guess going off my memory of past figures. I agree, I'm probably more concerned than ever if they start borrowing from third parties but putting those debts against us. That's how administration happens.

Agree, the petulance really set the tone of a man who felt under pressure. That has totally gone and he is calmly talking about the future. On top of that, the LT sneaked a comment into an article a couple of weeks or so ago that seems to have gone largely unnoticed. It basically said they understand the club will stick with TM this summer. So all this talk of Tony going after the game tomorrow is going to result in a lot of disappointment for a lot of people I see talking like it's a possibility.
