Don’t like being over dramatic but all I can hear in my ears the commentator saying “lacking the final pass.” Referring to Dolan. On this performance that should be his Twitter handle. Thomas was not much better. Glad they switched at half time. If Dack was on the bench why not drop him in for the last ten minutes. He draws players and can produce a moment of magic. -

In my abject misery, my only solace is the masterful use of words on this forum. Just moved the blender out of the kitchen. -

Trying to close the game out by changing the momentum is the gift that keeps on giving to the opposition. Smods was chasing everything and we put on two cold defenders. Only one way that is going. Cruel for Dom, as he will have that on his shoulders for a while, when he has been a stand out this year. Hedges should have finished it off a minute earlier. That’s why this game is so tough on the fans. -
v Coventry (h) 19/4/23 @ 19:45

“We were losing quality in finishing, taking too many touches instead of shooting on goal, and decision-making in the last third. “. JDT To be honest, we have players who can give their all and run with the ball at the opposition. We saw it against Huddersfield. It is the mindset that is needed against Coventry. I thought JDT was coaching this passing in triangles. If he is saying too many touches, then that is down to the players to pick the ball up and run at the opposition and pass forward to an unmarked team mate. When I see a ball going backwards at home I see a player who does not want to be accountable. -
v Hull City (h) 15/4/23 @ 19.45pm

Passing back in injury time does my head in. Where is the running forward into positions to receive a ball. Where is the running at the man. We are afraid in front of goal. We pass to each other to avoid the accountability. All that being said, miraculously if the line in the sand was drawn tonight, we would be in the playoffs. If we can beat Coventry there would be daylight between us. -

Financially screwed and promise of no more Liverpool “talent.” -

I would have taken this result at the beginning of the day. I would certainly have taken this result at half time. Warnock hates us for leaving him at the altar. Shame Leonard didn’t poke it a bit harder, it would have been a dream start. He didn’t look out of place. if we can start next game the same way that we played in the second half, with confidence and smooth flowing football then Bob’s yer uncle. -

Must win game tomorrow. And the next one, and the next one. Stoke are on a roll. At least they denied boro a couple of points. it is remarkable that we are still in the game. Squeaky bum time. -
v Stoke City (a) - 10/3/23
bigbrandjohn replied to Sweaty Gussets's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
We now reach an interesting time of the season. We are hanging on by the skin of our teeth relying on motivated players performing at the very top of their ability. We have a threadbare squad. It could go either way. it must be cause for concern in Recruitment Mission Control. Do we target a list of championship or DIV 1 players for next season, or do we plan on recruiting premiership or continental top division players for next season ? Mid table mediocrity would make the decision easier. Given our track record in January, the thought of filling the gaps for either scenario fills me with trepidation. -

Back down with a bump. Hope we can learn from this quickly. Sounds like a few thought they just needed to turn up. Winning 5-1 away should have been a hint. -

On another subject I cant believe how many chances Harvey Elliott creates but no Liverpool players pass to him. That’s their loss. He is a diamond. -

What a difference a month makes. To rearrange David Coleman’s quote, JDT has changed from “an idiot to a hero” and is apparently being looked at by Feyenoord. https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2023/03/01/blackburn-boss-could-replace-a-manager-leeds-want-to-hire-this-summer/ Players out the door are now first choice picks, fringe players are now in the heart of the team, and our captain who was written off and slagged off, is MOM and earning rave reviews. It’s a funny old game. Luck, momentum and belief can make all the difference. Glad we all have the patience and wisdom to see the longer term picture. 🤔 -

That win is for the 2000 fans who travelled in mid week to an away cup game in the midlands in pissing rain. God bless you lot. Savour every minute. -

As you say Gallagher got into positions to make the strikes easy. Many Shearer goals were tap ins because he was such an intuitive striker and reader of the game. if Gallagher is allowed to stay in that position and keep getting service from “Top Ranking Costello” or Thomas, the goals will keep coming. We are going to have to get used to being without Brereton. This is A good time to start the learning process.
