Need Hull to get a result later so that they and Norwich need a result next. -

Nervy final day now which is very disappointing. It could have been much worse today though. Gonna need a big set of results to see us go down next week. Plymouth and Birmingham really in the brown stuff. -

Biggest second half for many, many years. Lose and we are pretty much down. -

Brum winning. We have to win today. Nightmare results so far. -

Need to hope we can sneak a point here and either Sheff W or Birmingham lose. That's most likely the best outcome we can hope for tonight. Have a feeling Coventry are gonna smash us though seeing their line up and how poor we are. -

Full strength Coventry team. I knew the "we may need to play the youngsters" line from their manager earlier this week was utter nonsense. Very unlikely we get anything today. -

Huge game and huge opportunity today. Come 5pm we could either be mathematically safe or be in the bottom 3, that's how big a day it is. We face an out of form, tired team with fitness and injury issues who have nothing to play for. You don't get many opportunities like that to get 3 points. I have absolutely no faith in our group of players though, so I'm fully expecting a defeat. I think O'Hare, Haji Wright, and Simms will be far too good for us. Rovers 0 Coventry 2 -

Robins saying he may have to play the youngsters on Saturday due to injuries and fitness issues. I don't believe a word of that. -

Coventry lose. No doubt that result helps us. A tired team and now one that has nothing to play for. Big opportunity for us to get 3 points on Saturday. I have very little confidence we'll even get a point though. -

Hull 1 up. Hull could have a significant part to play in keeping us up. They win tonight and Coventry are out if it. They win on Saturday against Ipswich and it would mean Leiceter will almost certainly be promoted by the time we play them. Going into the final day, Norwich would need a result against Birmingham to secure a place in the play offs whilst Hull would be desperate to beat Plymouth to have a chance of getting into the play offs. Come on Hull basically! I have more faith in Hull doing their bit to keep us up than I do in our players. -
Coventry resting a lot of players tonight which probably means they'll be fresh for us on Saturday. Great!

You are allowed to give a player credit for having a good game. I don't remember anyone saying he was a good keeper though. He's proven time and time again that he's an incredibly poor GK but he has had a small number of decent games this season. -

I still wouldn't have Leo in goal. That's how bad I think he is! -

rovers11 replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Pears is dreadful and has made the worst GK error in the entire league yesterday BUT he's undroppable. The alternative is Leo who is not even conference level. At least Pears does have the odd good game like he did against Leeds. Both are the worst GKs we've ever had though. Telalovic is the worst striker we've ever had and this is probably the worst bunch of loan players we've ever had. Not a huge surprise we are where we are when you factor in all those things. -

If we lose this one and Birmingham win their game at Huddersfield then we are screwed. They'd go above us on GD and there's no way we're bettering their result on the final day. Even if Birmingham draw against Huddersfield and we fail to beat Coventry, which is very likely, it means we have to get something at Leicester. Birmingham will beat Norwich who will rest a few players. Plymouth and Sheff W have winnable games so they will get the required points. It's between us and Brum I think. I think they find a way and we go down. A tired Coventry still have far more quality than we do so I expect us to lose. Yesterday's result was a complete disaster after things were looking so positive after the Leeds result. The odds of 9/1 on us to go down were too tempting to me so I have done a mercer! Those odds will tumble after the weekends games. -
A fatigued Coventry are still miles better than us sadly.

I don't even think a point will keep us up now that our GD has gone; we have to win one of the last two. Huddersfield are going down but I expect Brum to get 4 points from their last 2 games, us to get 1 point against Coventry and lose to Leicester, Plymouth to beat Hull on the final day, and Sheff W to beat Sunderland and draw against WBA. I think we go down on GD and Brum stay up. The championship is very unpredictable so I hope I'm wrong though. Just don't see us staying up after a result like today.

Regardless of what happens for the rest of the season, Eustace has to go in the summer. Today was the final straw. Not a single home win and not even got close to beating a relegation rival since he joined. -

Well done to Sheff W. They have far more guts and spirit than we do and deserved the win. They've also got a competent GK and a far superior manager. Fuming and embarrassed after that. Back in big trouble now. Have to hope and pray Birmingham don't win next week otherwise we are probably going down. -

Sheff W will finish above us now with 2 winnable games to come. If Birmingham get anything at Huddersfield next week then we are done. They will beat Norwich on the final day as they'll already be in the play offs. Last week we looked safe, now we look like a decent bet to go down. -

We need to wake up here. Sleepwalking through the half and we look like we have mistakes in us at the back. Sheff W have been awful though. -

Playing for a point is never a good game plan as you're generally sunk if you concede the first goal. I don't think we'll play for a point today but we won't overcommit either as we know a point is probably enough. Think the game is set up very nicely for us as we know Sheff W have to go for it which should leave gaps at the back for Sammie. We tend to struggle when we have to try and break other teams down.
