Given Swag set the objective as staying in the division and developing youngsters, JDT is fulfilling the mandate admirably with an 11 point gap plus goal difference seperating us from the relegation places.

There is no basis for dismissing him based on the CEO's targets.

😇⚽ - as close to a tin hat as I could find...

You are probably right , if ever we do occupy a relegation spot , we will not get out of it ....It is going to be a horrible few months until early May ...Let us all hope the 11 point cushion is enough !!!

Sheffield Wednesday 3 up....

Not been a good day !

Sigurdsson offers a bit of a goal threat, which is a good job because he looks a bit of a nothing footballer. No pace. No trickery. No great vision. No work rate. Shame because whenhe signed he looked a bit of a coup on paper.

He is dangerous, when he is in the box ,as an eye for a goal..

I can't help thinking Travis should be playing !!!

A season defining game this one ...

We have too win end of ! 

Will the crowd turn ?that's is going to be interesting too..

JDT isn't as popular has Mowbray was with the Ewood crowd , he maybe on BRFCS....

I think Ipswich, may well come in for SS, I don't think he will be a Rovers player on February 1st...

The only way we would end up with the likes of Rowett is if Broughton leaves.

Wouldn’t want Rowett, and the DOF model makes a young coach more likely.

Given our circumstances (skint) that might not end well.

I am not sure the DoF is a good system...

You need a good one and a good manager /coach ....

Just get a good manager forget the DoF crap !

Travis isn’t shit  , the manager just believes a midfield Duo of Tronstad and Wharton is better at this moment in time  putting Travis in there may free Wharton up to be more creative , a tactic I thought he may have used recently given our lack of numbers/quality in attacking areas but he’d rather put square pegs in round holes than play our club captain in his true position.. for me that’s a sign that JDT doesn’t want him a round anymore and if a bid comes in even a loan , JDT will agree to it

Having witnessed Travis giving Mowbray & Venus a mouthful or 2 , during the Bradley Johnson up front game , I suspect he could give JDT similar about the way he wants us to play .

No that is still an option, because all clubs issue printed tickets for away fans. This includes the Rovers. It is only Rovers home fans that are being fucked about. I can't wait till the club announce how season tickets are going to be sold next season.

Unless things change quickly , season tickets sold will be at least  50% down ..

Numerous football clubs are bought and sold every year. Watford are the latest by the sounds of it.

Some will work out, some won’t. But obviously there are ‘buyers out there’, this shower just aren’t interested in selling, and of course the perennial question remains - why?

That is what I cannot get my head round , bad owners don't hang around for 13years , in which time they have dismantled a well run premier league football club to the laughing stock it is today . WHY are they still in situ ??

There is a reason and it is not for the Love of Blackburn Rovers !!

Tomasson has enough about him to keep our heads above water.

Another shit month though, and the 10 point cushion could then be 5.

But then it's too late to do much about it.

He cannot stop the other teams scoring, partly due to his insistence on tippy tappy across the back....

We have no real height in the team , goalkeepers are poor and we have no one who can put their foot in except for Travis and Tronstadt...

Has Neil Warnock definitely retired?

Unless something drastic happens (eg one of our forwards starts scoring, one or two of our defenders start defending, or one of our goalkeepers stops leaking soft goals) this mon will be sacked before the end of January. 
 

He is the man , let him wheel and deal not Broughton....

JDT outs are funny as fuck.

He's miles ahead of Mowbray, he just needs backing.

Is he ??? 

I am not so sure !!

we were in the relegation zone at that time

I think you are right ...

If you can't defend you are not going anywhere as a club or a manager. Think we have to figure out how to be solid. If JDT is not interested in that then we need a change unfortunately. This is ridiculous.

We should have had a change after the Turf Moor fiasco , last season...

I think 37 years ago today  we played at Hull and drew 0-0 or lost 1-0..

Bobby Saxton was sacked the day after ...

We bullied Shrewsbury at home ...

Is this game on the red button and can you pay on the Gate ??

How much do you think we value Carter at ??

We need administration to get us out of our misery !

Good job we already have points on the board is all I can say.

That's what saved us in Saxton's last full season... Collapsed around December onwards and won a couple at the end ...
