I'm sure I'm not the only one, but I find it highly depressing that our homegrown club captain has asked us to leave in order to join Derby fucking County. After our manager and two other players we've allegedly wanted to keep have also chosen to go there (possibly Brittain would have too if Boro weren't in). No disrespect to Derby, they're a solid old club, but this really shouldn't be the state of affairs here. Venkys have utterly ruined us. It's a miracle we're still a Championship side for now, let alone that we were in a position to barely miss the playoffs last season. But the fact all these players and the manager wanted off to Derby despite our utterly different league placings last season shows all is rotten behind the scenes. We're a sinking ship and the rats want out.

Once the guy collided into his left leg whilst he was moving, yes.

We are Blackburn Rovers. We don't get penalties.

Dirty bastards are Bradford

Unfortunately I don't think a midfield of Buckley and Montgomery is going to eke out better results.

The fuck was KM doing there just in front of the defence

Guess it's time to put him in the engine room then 🫣 At least it's his natural position I guess.

He's just played two of the worst passes I've seen in ages.

Not understanding the positive reviews of Axel, he's looked shit to me so far.

Tavares?

So obviously now a Bradford player has crunched him and he'll probably be injured for weeks or something knowing our luck.

Well that was a bollocks half. Shite. Tavares the only player who has impressed me at all (when I've been able to bare to watch this shit). Most of the rest poor, some embarrassingly so (Michalski, Montgomery, Henriksson, all looking miles off the pace). De Neve's first miss was embarrassing too, but he took his goal well. Gueye been ok, needs to take a chance though. Miller's throw problematic. The first 5 minutes was peak Venkys era Rovers.

And even if it had been, he moved backwards so that it took longer to get to him while the attack charged him down.

He has nothing to be cocky about on current evidence.

Wow, 1921 since Bradford won here. We love sorting out records like that.

So much wrong with what Michalski did there. Didn't need to be pedalling back, shouldn't have took a touch with the man so near, the touch was piss weak. Then nearly got sent off trying to recover. He's going to need mental strength tonight, he's making Pears look like Buffon.

Not sure why we have started two players still wearing headgear because of their stitches from a few days ago. One of them eas absolutely nowhere near the goalscorer in his territory there. And Montgomery is the other one who should be picking that up. Wow, Michalski ruining his career here

Well that didn't take long. Ffs

Has Tyjon started a cup game for us before?

Good point, maybe. Guess we will see soon.

Hmm I assume it's Henriksson playing wide, not Tyjon. Hopefully he can impact the game more tonight, I'd argue there's less of the pitch to have to focus on out wide, so might suit him more for now since he isn't used to everybody's movement and the tactics yet. Plus weaker opposition so I expect more tonight. As for Kargbo, maybe he can't do 90 minutes, but he needs to be given at least 60 to start getting to that point. Unless the plan is starting him on Saturday, then I hope he at least comes on at half time.

Good point. Both razors could apply so it's very likely just because our internet content people are dogshit.

I don't think that'll be up on KentExile's wall somehow 😂😉

I always get a bit anxious playing lower league sides in the cups. We've had plenty of embarrassing scalpings before.

I'll wager Bradford are an easier team to score against for our regular forwards than WBA though. But I expect Tyjon to play tonight.
