Disappointing loss today- I can see this being a nearly season its loses to Luton and Charlton. I wouldn’t grumble at another mid table finish though, as we’re still work in progress. Overall, we’re lacking a top goal scorer- what a shame Matt Jansen couldn’t have put have dusted off his boots!

Would it be wrong to say Stoke and Huddersfield are down already? They’re already adrift and can’t buy a win.

Here’s one for those banging the drum for cheap tickets. Bolton- a team that nearly didn’t exist- reduced to tickets to £5, when the new owners finally took over, for the EFL Cup game against Bradford. It’s a rubbish competition, but after all that happened, they might never have played again. How many did it attract? A whopping 9000. Similarly, how many fans turned up to the Oldham cup game last month? About 5000 I’d say. How much was that? £10. At the end of the day, people really aren’t going to return permanently, unless we’re back in the top flight. Why? It all boils down the opposition we play, and what’s a stake.

Has anyone else found that the concourse card machines are down, only at the front of their queue today? What an absolute shambles.

I think they’re hoping for a top flight return. They’ll use the TV money to pay the debt off, before selling up and disappearing.

I don’t think Rich Sharpe approved of Morrison’s tackle....

No surprise- we’re in bother if Walton gets injured, unless there’s a decent one in the youth set-up.

I’m not overly bothered about the game so I’m following it on Twitter for a change. Whoever is doing the Rovers Twitter commentary tonight though is being completely bone idle. Their first goal came straight after the Williams shot tweet, despite the fact they had a corner, which wasn’t even mentioned until they’d scored. Rant over, and probably game over looking at the score line too!

They did actually make a stab at that during the League 1 promotion season- that’s where and when my profile picture was taken. I enjoyed it in there- it was quite a laid back atmosphere . Does anyone know why it was never continued?

Sadly, £4 odd a pint is the norm outside the Blackburn area nowadays. Even some of the nicer pubs within the area are charging around that now. Therefore, the price- although it’s not great- isn’t my main gripe. What does annoy me though is the quality of it. The Fosters? It always tastes watered down. The Guinness? Absolutely no attention paid to the rule of letting it stand, before topping it up. I know it’s from a can, but I still think it tastes better following the Guinness pouring rule!

Listening to Radio Lancs, it sounds like we’re lacking something up front. So far, the back line sound solid too. I do wonder if that’s due to the lack of test they’ve had though?

Right then, who knows how to get tickets for Fulham away party boat? I’ve always wanted to do that, but I’ve struggled finding anything online.

Let’s be blunt- he’s a good shot stopper but an absolute clown at times. The Birmingham game was the worst I’ve seen at Ewood in living memory from a keeper, for how it cost us. I don’t think having an inexperienced coach helps though. I reckon we’ve got another keeper lined up, and my money’s on Frank Fielding.

Leeds red card now- this game has everything!

3-3 now- Leeds have levelled it up.

Unreal- Derby penalty and now they’re 3-2 up in the tie!

The Leeds keeper has just done a Raya - like he did against Birmingham-and cost them a goal. He’s made the exact same mistake as I type this out, except it’s not gone in this time. 2-1 Leeds as it stands over the two legs.

Charlton are walking all over Doncaster- 2-0 in Yorkshire as it stands, but it could well be more.

..and still only finished 1 point above us. If we’re looking at a side above us, Norwich is the way forward. Preston fans expected the top 6 this year, and they bottled it yet again.

Are people really looking at Preston as the way forward? They’ve finished 1 point above us. ?? A good first season back for me- there’s work to do across the board, but we’re in a good position for next season. Here’s to hopefully an exciting summer!

Game’s completely changed since Travis has moved to right back. Mowbray’s made the wrong call putting him there. Bring Mulgrew for Evans, and put Lenihan or Williams at full back. Big question is- where is Nayambe?

Like anyone’s going to come in for Dack, offering the kind of money we’re wanting. He’s looked bang average for a long time.

To be fair, so will most of the league. ?

Blank

He hasn’t passed the test yet though has he? He was also banned from owning a club for a good few years after the disaster as Watford. My mate’s a Bolton fan- he’s prepared to give him a chance, providing he pays up. His patience is thin with bad ownership though. That interview is car crash though- he looks like he’s been in The Brown Cow since lunchtime.
