Agree. When was the last time you saw a player put his foot on the ball and look for options. Come to think of it, when was the last time you saw a player take on a defence single handedly from midfield rather get clapped for passing the ball sideways. Aaronson got punished for passing the ball back the other night against West Ham.

January Transfer Window.

Make mine a dry cappuccino with oat milk guv. -
Unless I missed a change in the law. Tottenham corner and the linesman standing there. I see it all the time. Other contenders ”We will take each game as it comes.” Every manager asked if they have a chance of winning anything. “The club is on a journey.” Every manager after a run of losses to avoid any questions about the sack. Any other beefs as we wait for when Saturday comes.

7.00 am start after a late night. Needed the three points to kick start the day. Wouldn't fancy the 3.30 am start for Cardiff fans. -

Has Dack passed forward to a Rovers player yet? Shell of his former self. -
January Transfer Window.
bigbrandjohn replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Looking at some of these Premier results, I wouldn’t be surprised if someone offered 10 million quid for Diaz. West Ham in particular need someone now. -

3 transfer window talk may be a more technical term for a “journey.” Just with Danish pastries not drizzle cake. -

One of the reasons they were terrible was passing from the back 🤣 We chased everything. They were unsettled with that. Maybe we learned something from Burnley and Preston. -

Good analysis of how half baked our system is. https://www.lancs.live/sport/football/football-news/blackburn-rovers-tomasson-tactical-gamble-25729553 -

bigbrandjohn replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Watching Morocco score this isn’t complicated. Just pass forward, move off the ball and attack ffs. A side pass should warrant a booking. The warm weather training was the worst preparation. They should have had a week in the Lake District. -

That was unwatchable. Too much to even contemplate. JDT needs a quiet word with Travis and say he wants him to concentrate on his game. And give the Captain’s armband to Hyam. -

Not if you are selling him and you don’t want him injured -
World Cup 2022
bigbrandjohn replied to Nuttall is lost's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Saudi Arabia have just shown conclusively why playing out from the back, across the back is a truly horrible idea. Scored by the striker who would have been ours but for a dust cloud. 🛫 -

Still pissed off and the World Cup break doesn’t help. JDT needs to understand that the return at Ewood is like no other. No Mr nice guy. No fancy arse playing out of the back bollocks. Pick a team of warriors for this game and chuck them in a cold shower before the game. -

I think the thing missing for me with JDT is any humility in all of this. Maybe it is cultural, who knows. The best leaders take accountability when things go wrong. Steve Cooper of Forest has owned the club’s position. He has explained the challenges but recognizes where the buck ends. It takes the wind out of the sails of the issue and it calms the storm. At the moment the gusts of dissatisfaction are swirling around players, formation, tactics, commitment and all stations south. Own it, put a stick in it, and move on to kinder waters. -

It was horrible, sick making. I think Mowbray must have left his rolodex of post match interview words on his old desk. I heard the word “journey” in JDT’s interview twice. So here is another phrase “let’s take the positives” from this mind numbing performance. 1 JDT will realize that this is not another game and be better prepared for the return. 2. The club has a few weeks to think about twisting or sticking with Brereton Diaz 3 The club has time to reflect on who they need to bring in or ship out in January. 4 JDT may have time to reflect on the fact that Travis is not a good leader of men yet. His position is at risk as well. Hyam would be a better choice. 5. Hopefully there will be enough criticism in the media about playing out from the back, if the video isn’t enough evidence, to ensure this tactic is used more sparingly in the future. -

Tippy tappy in our own half 3-0 down. -

Hopefully that’s the end of playing from the back.
