I think the Rovers fan base has actually been really patient with most players, certainly been no audible criticism from the stands for Buckley that he would pick up on. The critique of his strengths and weaknesses has been online, surely there’s no issue with that. Do you think all other teams message boards just fawn over strengths without mentioning any weaknesses? With the likes of Brereton and Gallagher again I think the fans have been exceptionally patient; sounds like yesterday wasn’t nice but at Ewood people have been right behind them even praising and encouraging for basic stuff

I’ve seen no more than I saw in Jordan Slew, looking for glimpses, something to cling onto, it’s just not there at this point. I desperately want him to come good here but it just doesn’t seem likely. A loan may be best for us all.

Suppose it’s my fault in a way. 2 weeks or so back I was wasted excited for the Wigan game and a chance to get right in the mix. 5 games, 2 draws and 3 losses later here we are. I should have known better

Indeed - in fact in work it’s something I am working on bringing to the forefront of people’s minds. Still think it should be 3:01 rather than 12:31 mind you On the team, surprised Chapman missed out after having the gauntlet thrown down by Mowbray

100% I’ve since realised why the minute delay and fully behind it, wellbeing and mental health is something that’s needs huge focus it just slipped my radar that it was happening today I had thought it was a way around some red tape and a way to show more games abroad

Sorry just seen there’s reason for the 1 minute presumed it was just tv stuff

edit - misunderstood the reasoning behind the kick off time

Chapman won the free kick that led to the goal, won about 4 corners and put in our best corner of the match He did his part, Mowbray will always highlight his flaws though

Maybe that went as well as his managerial run https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/17939111.ex-blackburn-rovers-star-garry-flitcroft-faces-trial-house-rip-off-claims/ I did think at the time we just said that as a favour so he could save face

When trailing we never seem to batter the oppositions goal in injury time, we go out with a wimper Fun Christmas period, everyone got to have a mess around in different positions. Downing - left wing, right wing, centre mid, left back Rothwell - left wing, right wing, in the hole, Right wing back Brereton - up front, right wing Armstrong - up front, left wing, right wing And what did we learn? That when Dack is out Tony has no clue how to set up

We look well up for this now, Rothwell stepped it up and Chapman has made a difference Let’s hope we don’t Fizzle out

footballer logic, complain that they didn’t stop when Rothwell was down but neither did we when we had the ball!

It was meant as a compliment! As in he’s still trying to make things happen not just hiding

Ha ha what a stunner that is

Jesus even Tosin is wayward with his passing it’s like we can’t do the simple stuff anymore Chapman trying to make stuff happen at least even though it’s not coming off, Rothwell another in that club

Not seen Downing get too much of a hammering

Imagine playing Jordan Rhodes on the wing, Mowbray would do it

Jog on Rothwell

Surprised people are picking out Bell for criticism, think he’s been one of our better players again overall. Big second half now, need to get at them early and make them nervy

Interesting fact, Walton is a bad goalkeeper

Sammy Shite Keeper

Billy Bad Keeper

Rothwell needs to reset his radar his passing has been shocking

Rothwell can consider himself fortunate to start now he needs to take the opportunity. Hope today is the day Brereton turns a corner as well

In fairness we often said similar about Cairney here then he showed there is still a place for that sort of player
