I'm with you on that. If not Venkys shafting you the next person in charge could literally asset strip the club so much quicker with the club and training ground (probably one of the more higher value land value training grounds in the country too!) being seperate entities. The training ground being separate helped us through one round of FFP, it should have been way bigger longer term security than one round of FFP.

It absolutely stinks, doesn't it!

I honestly think the lapsed fans have gone. People can only take being humiliated so many times, I honestly believe this clubs decision tomorrow night will send some people away forever too. The criminal thing that people like Waggott have failed to realise is you may have lost the vocal disgruntled fans which may please them, but they are doing absolutely nothing to bring on the next generation of fans. The owners/Waggott are merely a custodian of the club yet they are seriously putting the future of the club in jeopardy.

What ever anybody does, do not remind Waggott that Arsenal painted a board with fans on during the early 90's at Highbury when it was being developed or we may never see the BBE end open again. All jokes aside, the guy is an absolute fraud just employed to take the smoke from the owners. As somebody said on here last week, the easiest job in the world is to save money, the good ones MAKE money!!

My point is he can struggle in a game like any player, having an old head on the bench to sure thing up would have helped the last few games in my opinion.

Part of a defence that has shipped 7 pretty awful goals in 2 games. Abit like Ayala did when we hit rocky patches in the last few years.

Those are some horrific goals. Pears cannot play the next league game, his decision making is Sunday league. He comes for balls he can't win then doesn't come for balls he should. We need to steady up and get an old head to sure up the defence .... oh yeah the owners wouldn't let us buy one!!!

BBE closed or not, I'm staggered at that figure. I'm kinda lost for words. Surely from past ticket sales their must be data to see a spike in sales in the days before a game.

I think JRC did very well at full back and was almost a surprise entity as he was random in what positions he took up and was a general thorn in the side for the opposition. He isn't afforded that time in central positions and understandably look less pleasing on the eye. We have the problem that for me his strongest position is right back but Callum Brittain is a better right back defensively, with how open we have looked thus far, bringing JRC back at right back would be risky.

It was all just so sloppy, you didn't need a £5/£10 million striker to bag some of those chances you needed a bit of composure. Especially the Leonard/Moran misses after the Sammie shot. The penalty was sloppy, Clarke's eyes lit up when Hedges drew his foot back to row 15 of the Blackburn End and he just made sure he got in the way. The defence was sloppy for the second in a half arsed closing down effort, but so was Pears as he seemed to let bounce over his arm when the shot wasn't far from him. Carter was sloppy for the third. Some of our passing when breaking was so sloppy, I remember very promising breaks collapsing from awful passes from Travis and Hedges. I thought our tactics seemed too gung ho, Sunderland were breaking on us at the start of the second half like it was the 89th minute. We needed the bench to take a breath and try to settle things.

JRC should have been off there.

We've missed some chances but don't be fooled by that, Sunderland have had us chasing shadows out of possession they have wiped the floor with us.

That is diabolical.

We are leaving space like it's the 89th minute!!!

Agreed, it's a dangerous style when you are A) not taking your chances. giving the ball away lots in central midfield.

We have been atrocious when they have been moving with the ball.

Wharton needs to switch on here!!

Out of interest, did the powers that be give a figure of how much is saved by closing the Blackburn End? This isn't a dig BTW.

Same as me, loads of buses from my school in Accy. I was absolutely hooked.

There is cost cutting at a football club, but closing "the" home end is more than cost cutting. League two Accy Stanley wouldn't dream of closing the Clayton End but Blackburn Rovers who missed out on the play offs to the Premier League on goal difference 4 months ago will happily close the Blackburn End.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist but there are some plays by people in power that just stink of trying to show dominance. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE. It cannot cost insane amounts to open the bottom tier of a stand to a professional football team. All this shows to me is somebody in power is flexing and saying I can do as I please.

Am I reading that right, you could essentially get 4 season tickets for buying 1 adult season ticket? That is incredible if correct.

Whilst it's funny because it's Burnley, I just for the life of me cannot see that as handball. It hits the same part of the arm as the Forest goal ... I'm not complaining though!

Mr Kaminski didn't cover himself in glory for the Fulham goal today unfortunately.

I can't remember a time when we have created more chances than we have this season, it just so happens we do so when we have the weakest strength and depth up front. For large parts I thought we played very well, I actually expected Boro to be much stronger with the squad they have so fair play to the lads. We will have a good few of these games this season but we will also have a good few Plymouth's too I think.
