We don’t have any idea how many signings we really need until some of these youngsters get a real chance in these empty last 6 games. Left Back, Centre Half and Keeper are a given. I would be happier with Mowbray if he just committed to playing the younger players and the players that are contracted for next year.

Harsh, he was the one that started making things happen for the 30min spell in the first half. Got crunched and was clearly injured.

I watched Sassuolo vs Verona the other day, cracking game. That type of deliberate challenge doesn’t even get a talking too over there. Never a red card in a million years.

Twas a dreich night at Ewood last year that Sheff Utd showed up and booted us all over the park. In our faces the whole night and we were feable against 3-5-2. It was at that point we should have copied them and built a side to fit that formation. The under 23s under Johno were using it religiously at that point too. Dack could fit in right behind the little and large strikers. The 4-2-3-1 has never really worked for us, and was just a shoe horn to fit Dack into his favourite role without any thought of decent wide men, fast forward a year and we are still dicking around with inside forwards and wide strikers trying to figure out a way to play. It’s a mess, a hot mess in fact. Brutal injuries and bad luck at times but the style of play and formation is all wrong.

Tony said a while ago he would walk when he felt he wasn’t getting through to the players. Surely we have reached that point. Totally out hussled and out played by the worst team in the league. I love Tony but it’s time for a different voice.

That’s twice in a row Mulgrew has been beaten in the air by a 5’7 winger

Well played Bennett you absolute loser

Be nice to get the break of the ball once today.

No way

Bennett is still on!

This is the worst football we have played all year, dick about with it under pressure at the back, pass back to Walton hoof up to Armstrong. Is this real life?

That’s a cracking header

Mother of god Samuel

Nice to see Charlie boy back tbh, holding pretty well so far. Barnsley spent the first 15 mins passing around Bradley Johnson taking the piss. We have been the better side since then. Rothwell and Holtby linking well at times and look the most likely to make something happen. Why Samuel doesn’t pass that across the six yard box I’ll never know.

I’ll take that Williams left back next year

Rothwell starting to make things happen

Just won our first ball after 15mins

Painful viewing. Johnson so far off the pace of the game it’s frightening

Ken hell Rothwell getting it tight again on here. I must be watching a different game.

Yeah I am good with this team, Armstrong and Brereton could switch periodically.

Any club serious about challenging for the playoffs would have strengthened in January, having lost their best player.

We did have the midfield by the scruff of the neck until Travis went off. Bradley Johnson was useless when he came and looked 10 yards off the pace. The midfield played well enough I thought for the first 70 mins of the game. Howler from Walton, Bennett a liability, and Gallagher nothing short of pathetic was the reason we lost. No impact from the subs either. Blaming the starting midfield is bizarre.

Pretty much what Paul Cook said.

Yeah he has next season to get it right for me. Needs to make some hard decisions over the summer, really not far away. Replacing Walton, Tosin and getting a new Left Back will be the priorities. Play full strength against Barnsley, but I want to see the youngsters in as soon as we are realistically out of the race for playoffs. Guessing that will be after Leeds next Sat.

Christ, a three game ban for that. Was a booking all day. Will be interesting to see if he plays a part going forward
