It’s amazing what some goodwill and relative success can do to stimulate a dormant / repressed fan base.

Ipswich have capped Season ticket sales at 21,000 for next season and all are already sold. Full house tomorrow against Exeter. Impressive support but obviously huge catchment area.

I think your right, once fit and with a bit of confidence, a much better option that what we have.

I happen to think that your right.

Possibly but that is the sort of goal I’d love a striker at Ewood to be capable of scoring.

Perhaps we could have done with the much maligned Hirst the other night 🤷‍♂️https://www.twtd.co.uk/ipswich-town-news/44891/barnsley-0-3-ipswich-town--highlights

On the other hand, they are due a loss and we are long overdue a win and some luck.

I thought the Rovers fans were fantastic before the goal and perhaps even more so afterwards, almost everyone stayed until the bitter end and got behind the team.

I think it is worth making the point that the death spiral started when Thomas was removed from the team, being ineligible for the cup QF. Thereafter, he’s had a few poor sub appearances and was equally poor against Knob End but we were probably more of a threat and better balanced with him starting and the subsequent results are a matter of record.

You’re very probably right but I’m really fixated on luck and we are getting none. However, the short sleeves will get a run out against Luton and hopefully, this will ensure a win and then to Millwall, to secure a play off spot 🙏

😂

I’d just like the chance to find out 🙏

Or the goalkeeper cheating 🙈

Might even pay Malmo for Anel A now, should have been pints deduction.

That looks like West Brom gone. We have a very outside chance but I can’t see beyond Coventry and Mowbray’s lot, that will be really hard to stomach 😡

If folk can’t attend for health, economic, distance or other practical reasons, then of course they are still ‘proper’ fans. I just find it surprising that people would choose not to go and support their team in such a match on a can’t be bothered basis but apologies, I genuinely didn’t mean to cause any offence.

Cork should have already been on a yellow, irrespective as to whether you deem the second, to be a yellow or red card.

Admittedly, there is something in that but I like his enthusiasm and think he is doing a good job, despite the similar death spiral. We don’t score enough goals, probably aren’t quite good enough but a blind man could see that we simply have had no luck or favours.

It was lovely to feel Ewood rocking again, with Blackburn Rovers fans. From my vantage in the JWL and having seen the ground plan sear sales before, I was very surprised with the crowd, I thought more like 20,000. It certainly felt like it, credit to all proper Rovers fans, who got out of their armchairs and turned up, to support their team and try to make the difference, heroic failure.

One plus for me is that JDT doesn’t belittle our club. He looks like he enjoys the job and is privileged to have it, despite his fantastic career and world class pedigree. The journeyman from Middlesbrough, seemed to resent every minute he spent here and that he was doing us a favour and and made you feel like slitting your wrists in his pre and post match monologues.

You haven’t missed anything. This is the detail that only Greg B and Rovers can provide and why, I believe he hasn’t given the promised post appeal interview. The Arbitrator’s report clearly shows that Rovers had no case but the reason for the delay and what they were up to, whilst Rome burned, can only be clarified by Broughton / Rovers.

I’m really surprised that he is found a club in any of the 4 divisions with a worst set piece record and staggered that somehow statistics suggest we have scored 7. I can’t recall half that number !

And almost certain that one of them, Willem Tomlinson is a Dingle 🙈

He promised a further, more in-depth interview after the appeal process and I’m still waiting. If you promise to do something, you must follow through with it, no matter how difficult or uncomfortable. As it is, like you I have read the Arbitrator’s judgement in full, so I have all the detail I need to confirm that the abject failure was all down to the incompetence of officials at Blackburn Rovers.

We never seemed to get a decision. Just a few off the top of my head: the Cardiff goal pulled back for a pen, the Buckley red card and in last week, Coventry handball, Cork ‘red’ and Barnes handball. It doesn’t appear to even out, like we are cursed 😡
