I agree with @rog of the rovers that we need to keep some perspective and we need to look at the season so far in a 21 games block. I think we have overachieved this season and no way did I think we would be 3rd in the league after 21 games and going into the world cup break. I think Jon Dahl Tomasson has been a breath of fresh air since his appointment, He understand the club and wants to take this club back to the PL and keep us there and not be yo-yo club like some other clubs have been. He has been very good with bringing young players through. He is clearly happy with the coaching staff he has here despite what people think on here. His and Gregg Broughton appointments is a new era for the club, and they have explained what the plan is and how they will implement the plan. I think people having a go for JDT for not understanding the importance of the game or he needs to be sack or replace is unwarranted and unnecessary in my opinion. I am not angry or mad about yesterday performance (I am disappointed but that's it). I am proud and passionate Rovers fan and I have some great memories from supporting this great club over the last 32 years and those memories will always been there and they will always outweigh days like yesterday. I would say that defensive wise in the first half we were good and limited them to 2 chances all first half. In the attacking sense we were poor apart from one moment that Brittain were he had simple ball through to Gallagher who would have been one on one with keeper, and I think he would score. Well, some people like myself haven't taken this one game in isolation but have taken the spell of 21 games together as I think we should do. Yes I know and fully aware of how important this rivalry before someone says I don't understand it. Those days have gone, and football has moved on now from these types of players. It was foul anywhere on the pitch sadly the ref bottled like a number of other decisions yesterday.

How can anyone predict the team when we don't know the full story on injuries, players fitness and etc. JDT will watch the game again and see where he went wrong but the players also need to watch it back and work out when we need to play out from the back and not. That's player's decision. Wrong, Rovers should be praising JDT for having us 3rd in the league and ahead of where we all thought we would be. It's one game of football (yes massive game cos of the local rivalry but it's one game) and I would take promotion back to PL and losing twice to them then beating them and not promote. JDT will watch the game and see where he and the players went wrong but that's it. JDT and his staff need to get the players on the coaching field and coaching/improving their understanding or what JDT wants from the players and tactical set up.

Maybe look at how badly they are doing under the current coach. I think you need to calm down and take a step back. JDT is winner whether its playing career or managing career.

cos people have more inside info of that then we do.

haven't Gregg Broughton and JDT already answered this question.

Very disappointing to lose today but we just didn't well enough on the pitch. I don't think JDT picked the right formation today. We didn't get in Burnley players. Playing out from the back today cost is massively, and it was suicidal at times. Mola was awful second half. First half we sat deep and kept the shape well and limited them to 2 chances late in the half. We didn't created anything and if Brittian had played a better ball to Gallagher and I think we would have took the lead. Second half we had a 5 minutes spell at the start of the second half were we look threaten but after Gallagher went off we didn't off note. I felt that the Barnes first goal should have ruled a foul after he pushed Kaminski into the net. Second half we weren't good enough to get anything from that goal. I also felt that the ref was weak and didn't stamp his authority on the game were players got away with fouls that should have been yellow cards. We need to look at the overall season and we are 3rd after 21 league games which is above most people expectations for the season and deffo above my expectations. Hopefully in the 5 weeks break we can get some good training in and JDT can work with these players and improve them and they can get to understand him more what he wants from them tactical and performance wise, then we can get a playoff place at least from this season. I think the 5 at the back stop us being any sort of attacking force and I think we should have lined 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 formation as this would have given us a better platform to have an impact on the game I don't think its need to be factor at all, if you are good enough then you are old enough. Garrett was decent enough along with any other players who got 5's but no-one should out today for us. Lots of 3's, 4's and 5's for BRFCS ratings.

We have matched up with their midfield 3 and allow Hedges, Gallagher and BBD to play in their positions

Maybe it's his tackling why he been picked today Obviously more goes into it but age shouldn't be factor when picking a team but it's what you bring to the team and how we want to play

I think its will be 4-3-3 formation with Mola at left back with Hedges on the right side attacking side, Gallagher as number 9 and BBD on the left side

Maybe Adam Wharton is injured?

If you are good enough regardless of age, then surely you play

Rovers can play 2 or 3 different formations with that team. But no Jay Rod for them either

England win the T20 world cup and Stokes, Curran and Rashid being our key players in this final. England didn't let themselves down today. Stokes delivers another world cup final victory. Buttler captain the team very well today. nothing better than hearing Sweet Caroline after Victory whether its Rovers or England

Looks like 4-3-3 formation today. Szmodics is out injured

England need 138 from 20 overs to win the t20. Over Buttler and co to bring the Trophy home now

Curran outstanding bowling here in the final and his figures of 3 wickets for 12 runs off 4 overs. Such a key bowler for us.

Rashid has bowled possible the over of the world cup there

Come on Rovers!!! JDT's Blue and White Army 🔵 ⚪️!!!!

Villarreal want to sign BBD on a pre contract https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/20407312/villarreal-ben-brereton-diaz-transfer-blackburn-contract/

England bowling first after winning the toss. Going to be a very enjoyable game before Rovers game

Fair enough on your first point but those 2 players were very poor signings and waste of money. That is one of the major problems at that club is overpaying for players in terms of fees and wages in past years

Sorry there, I was under the impression that it did have a roof but it's the Docklands Stadium in Melbourne that does. Docklands Stadium is the home ground of BBL side Melbourne Renegades.

Just close the roof

Fifa shouldn't have awarded the world cup to Qatar when they knew it couldn't be played there in the Summer like other world cups (source on this is Netflix documentary on FIFA), it should have been awarded to USA. They have allowed domestic football to be affected by this world cup being played in November and December.

I am fully aware of previous transfers there, but those 2 players had very little impact at Everton
