Just an expected January game at Rovers, the opponents stroll in and out of Ewood without getting out of 2nd gear. They did nothing yet looked absolutely comfortable in the game. A quick request to Steve and Co. Can we have a half season ticket starting at the start of the season and ending when you lot all wrap your tits in.

Cantwell needs to realise very quickly we are in a dog fight for the rest of the season. The cavalry isn't coming!

JRC trying to out do his pants effort for the first goal there.

Watching Coventry wiping the ball in off corners and putting our defence under serious pressure further reminds me just how awful our set pieces have been for years.

The Andy Bayes interview is bizarre, it has clarified that Eustace is "head coach not manager". I can with a degree of confidence assume that means he recommends players but it is then up to the fuckwits upstairs to agree then sign said players or generally sign who they want. I'm not sure why anybody would want to be head coach here, as every January when it's somebody else's job to back us we fall apart.

Andy Bayes has confirmed on twitter as expected Mcfadzean is talking to another club. Garrett and O'Riodran will be going back out on loan. Obviously as even more expected he said nothing about incomings.

There cannot be ANY football club in the land that has to deal with this shit year in year out. Players and manager busting their balls, January comes all of them desperate for help and they get the middle finger from the owners. Their shitbag mates making excuses for them in early Feb ... rinse and repeat.

That turned into the game I think we all feared. Too much football for a squad without depth, our most important player now injured. Generally the only positive being Buckley had a better game than I thought he had in him these days. Bad day at the office.

Really going to need to use the squad playing 3 games in 6 days. Eustace must surely have thought he would have had some more game ready signings in for this run of winnable fixtures. The players have seldom let us down this season, fatigue is going to catch up soon. I'd be very happy with a draw today.

I said it after the derby defeat and it probably sounded like sour grapes but I stand by it, if we had been in the Premier League 8 out of the last 10 seasons and that was the quality of squad we had amassed I'd be gutted. Millions and millions spent and they never look like scoring.

If you are a Dingle, James Trafford is a legend. The Sunderland lad looked petrified taking the first never mind the second pen.

That rat bringing his son to the club was just a power flex. The lad was barely a professional footballer yet signed for a Premier League club. Yet Sky Sports give him an audience to cry his crocodile tears, I'm fizzing just thinking about it again.

If I'm being absolutely honest, I've sat through every single transfer window thinking surely we are going to sign a goal scorer since we sold Adam Armstrong. I'm still waiting. I'm not even meaning a £10m striker, I mean taking a punt on League One or League Two's top goalscorers or something similar from abroad if we are skint. We have signed nobody with anything like a scoring record at any level for window after window. From past interviews Waggott always drips about how hard transfers are to do in January, so I'm just giving up now expecting one rather than refreshing twitter all day on deadline day thinking surely ...

What are the chances that the "injured" Sigurdsson plays within a week of signing for a new club?

The owners phone is off the hook. Likely to be picked up in about 3 weeks for a few cheap loans. Said loans to play about 20 games between them, mostly off the bench. I've seen this one before.

Agreed, the only slight bit of positivity I can take from yesterday is if that is as good a team you can muster after the majority of the last decade in the top flight you won't be up there for much longer.

Oooo a bit of Latin too, ramping up the condescending tone, bravo!

We are going to fly up the league when we remove this Tronstad fella.

Ultimately just a galling defeat. Our passing was a killer today. Giving the ball away on the few breaks we had, awful set pieces and crossing. They had one chance and I'd say it was our only semi mistake at the back, as I thought Brittain (who had a good game) was balanced to clear it far more effectively than Hyam. I've got nothing to say about those bastards.

I'd happily take a dodgy decision, let's not forget we had a perfectly good goal ruled out at Turd Moor this season. That would have been a 2-1 win.

Under these owners I've learned to enjoy the good times. I'm enjoying this season, as I can't ask more of the playing side of the club when you think of total spend on players. I'll have enough time to be miffed with club goings on.

Another excellent team effort. We could easily have curled up and sulked after a questionable penalty, it would have been easy with how knackered the lads are but they doubled down and worked and got their reward. The defence was excellent, I've been really impressed with Batth. I loved how Hyam ran off for the goal and had everybody thinking he scored. Superb organising by Mr Eustace again. Bravo!

We looked a thin, underfunded squad. We were a thin, underfunded squad that missed some clear cut chances also. Some really poor performances out there today.

When we create loads of chances like today and Stoke, we can't score. We have games with barely any chances and win. Make it make sense!

I would guess he wouldn't be on great wages if he hasn't signed another contract beyond being here for 8 months. He has highly likely achieved all his wage rise triggers for appearances etc but you have to think he would only be a mid earner at the club. It is a bizarre situation really with all his Champ experience he hasn't wanted to earn more here or push for a move by categorically confirming he wants out, which would benefit both parties.
