Ben Benson taught him that 

We think we are going down because we are Rovers fans and in synch with how bad we are.

Plymouth and Birmingham fans will be thinking the same thing I think only Sheffield Wednesday fans will be confident. 
 

We expect Plymouth and Birmingham to win and whilst they have home advantage they aren’t easy games and haven’t been winning for a reason, they’ll look at us and think it’s not impossible for a point against a team in celebration mode. There’s also the possibility that if Leicester draw tomorrow and Ipswich win their game in hand then they need a point to confirm the title and we need a point to survive. 
 

From the outside I’d not expect blood and thunder if that was the scenario, similar to United at Ewood 15 years or so back.

The other factor is we can survive by losing, non of us expect Sunderland to beat Wednesday but it’s not inconceivable.

The odds are in our favour - so why do I still expect us to be relegated?

Can’t imagine a more stupid and more self owning way to get yourself a ban

Mocking a disaster from 1958 isn’t going to affect too many people deeply in the way he thinks yet he’s now got himself a ‘tragedy chanting’ charge!

Wonder what the bookies have us down as?

Weirdly I could see our odds of going down as shorter than I see the odds of those 4 games going in specific ways next week 

Really poor result, shocking but could be a big point all the same 

If results stay as they are then it’s a step to safety 

Need that win though 

Get Semir on and save us 

Wednesday 2-0

Eustace sent off but Huddersfield equalise!

Bonkers that I am cheering a goal by a team that can still overtake us

1 goal for Coventry and we are in the bottom 3

Trying to keep some hope but 1 goal for Huddersfield and we could be safe with a draw 

We can’t control other teams around us results, apart from last week when we totally threw the game.

Only ourselves to blame!

Now Birmingham lead, must must must must win 

As expected Sheffield Wednesday now doing their bit and leading WBA

At least we’ll have a bit of certainty come 5pm. Don’t win and we know we’re going. Can get planning for next year

A point and a Huddersfield win sees us at the finish line but in reality a win is a necessity 

Don’t care if they are full strength there’s no excuses not to win this, they are beaten mentally and we have everything to play for 

Huge game, Eustace should go if we lose after going 5 at the back 

We tried to sign a striker but sadly the fans didn’t reach our target on Just Giving 

I actually think it’s a really kind fixture for us, I wouldn’t fancy us against anyone top middle or bottom but a team out on their feet and exasperated should be there for the taking 

Leicester winning 5-0 tonight meaning if they win on Monday at Preston they are promoted which may make the final game slightly kinder

Edit - if they beat Preston then a point against us guarantees (not mathematically excluding a 15 goal swing) they are champions assuming Ipswich take maximum points in their games 

Maybe we just make a gentlemen’s agreement like we did with United at Ewood that it would be lovely to draw 

Either way - they aren’t winning!

We don’t make things easy as a club do we?

I’ve not been back to Ewood since my dad passed a year or so back, my wife said she tried to book tickets for me and my eldest as a surprise but couldn’t get through the website which kept throwing up issues.

I assume it’s to do with her not having a purchase history but still we seem to complicate things!

I would like to place on record my thanks to whoever made it more difficult to attend, small mercies indeed

Are you sure about that?

First bit is still true, the likes of Stoke and QPR would canter past us we just have to somehow hope Huddersfield and Brum save us now 

I think that’s it, we’re going down, so avoidable and self inflicted 

Just now, K-Hod said:

I can accept other teams having more talent, but I can’t accept being out fought and out worked. Pathetic from this lot.

Not even sure it’s that, we’ve just given them the win, they’ve offered very little but haven’t had to

3 bang average loanees coming on, sums it up
