I think Hughton would come if we offered a big money contract. I say pay him with the Raya money, over 2 years, and offer him a promotion bonus with the top flight TV money, incoming from Sky.

This mirrors what’s happening with Harry Chapman now. Why is he in the under 23 set-up?

The Evans point is bang on. The bloke shouldn’t be even in the bench. I think it’s a tad unfair on Gallagher calling him garbage though. Mowbray’s daft formation really doesn’t help matters, especially when he gets put on the wing. I’d like to see him and Danny Graham in a 442, upfront.

We need a change but he isn’t the answer. We need someone with a track record of success in the Championship. He hasn’t even finished a season in the top half of League 1, let alone the Championship. I still have nightmares about the Ince appointment. Chris Hughton’s the man for me.

Some on here will disagree with this, but the booing of Mahoney every time he returns to Ewood, really grinds my gears and makes me cringe. The lad got offered the chance to play at a top flight club or start the season in League 1, with us. Like he was ever going stay with us. It might not have worked out at Bournemouth, but with the way Mowbray constantly changes our changes our team, it probably wouldn’t have worked out here.

I’ve backed him until yesterday, but that starting line-up yesterday was a disaster. I don’t understand the mentality to keep mixing the starting 11 up. How hard is it to really play your strongest team? Then you’ve got the bizarre, over-complicated formation, which often leaves the striker isolated. What’s wrong with 4-4-2? Finally, where on earth to start with the Bennett inclusion? That lad continues to make mistakes because he’s too slow to keep pace with the championship now. Chris Hughton’s the only one out of those I’d have. The rest are either has beens (Hughes included) or inexperienced of success at this level. Pulis would be my second choice.

Raya made daft mistakes all the time. Walton now seems to be doing the same. We need an experienced keeping coach.

We need a proper goalkeeping coach.

That and putting away fans upstairs has killed the atmosphere off at Ewood. Away fans can’t hear us, we can’t hear them.

It was there again last night and it was bloody awful. When’s the next fans’ forum? The club need telling.

It has returned without any consultation that I know of- why? I think it impacts on the atmosphere too, just like putting the away fans upstairs!

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!
