We’re in trouble. The policy of spending nothing on players is finally coming home to roost.

I think sorting the keeper out goes a long way to addressing our problems. Pears has cost us 3 out of the 4 goals today.

As a keeper, who played at a reasonable level, I was told to catch whenever I could. I rarely punched- if at all ever- because of how vulnerable you leave yourself. How Pears has got to this level is beyond me. He’s absolutely appalling. I’d go as far as saying he’s the worst keeper I’ve seen at Ewood. Ben Benson has to take some of the blame though. He’s the set piece lead, and we’re absolutely dire at those too Over to Chaddy now, who told me I was wrong about Pears, after the Millwall game, last season.

Pears and Ben Benson need to potting after this.

I don’t think he did. Speaking as someone who played in goal, if you’re coming out, everyone on the pitch knows, and you take everything with you. The fact he’s done it a couple times suggests he doesn’t communicate well enough.

The second? Absolutely appalling keeping. It cost us a goal. The third was debatable too. I think he got beat way too easily. If we’re aiming for promotion next season, Pears needs to be the first out the door.

For me, season tickets should be priced based on people’s annual incomes. Apart from the Ribble Valley, East Lancs is a poor area. Obviously there would need a system put in place to avoid system abuse. As an example though: Less than £20k- £150 £20k- £25k- £200 £26-£30k- £250 … and so on.

Sorry, but those last two games aren’t about a curse, it’s all about our manager trying to see out games.

JDT yet again. We were all over them and he tried see it out for 1-0. You can’t do that anymore. Even the top teams don’t can’t do it. How many times does it needs to happen before he realises that the game’s moved on too much, for that?

Watford lost at dinner👍

Norwich losing to Sheff Utd!

I hope he scores the winner after reading that. What a vile comment. Mods- make an example of him. Back to the game- we need an early goal to settle the nerves. It should be a routine win if that happens.

I think a lot of it is to do with people still thinking we’ll bottle it. Those nearly seasons under Bowyer and Mowbray are still in my mind anyway.

Back when we had proper leadership… https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/4385148.blackburn-rovers-slash-season-ticket-prices-amazing-10-game/ Top flight attendances that season… … and here’s a picture from the final day of the League 1 season. If any Dingle dares to mention we’re tinpot, just remind them of when we had a bigger attendance in League 1, than they did in any of their top flight home games at T***, that season. #UpTheBlues

Disagree- does no one else remember us selling 20,000+ season tickets under Allardyce? (Was it around 23,000?) The Darwen End lower tier was full of Rovers fans. I actually remember Dingle FC only getting half the Darwen End, because Rovers fans sat in the other half of the lower tier. Back to the new stand look: for me it should match the Jack Walker lower tier.

2-0: excellent! A cricket score would be nice…

Thank Christ for that: 1-0.

Dingles on top here… City look like they can’t be bothered.

I’ve just come across this. Here’s the table at the same stage, last season.

AbsoluteIy fantastic set of results for us. It’s looking very rosy!

Excellent result- should have been more. I just hope people start returning. The lads deserve a big crowd!

Rowett’s a fantastic manager. I can see him taking them up eventually.

I doubt he’d leave them for us- they’ve just been took over, and look in stable hands.

Boro winning again- they look unstoppable. I’d say they’re on course for finishing second.

I’ve just watched it- Norwich looked bang average and void of ideas. #UpTheTonyMowbray
