47er

248 for 6 so it won't be that bad Jim! They should get 300 at least from here and the pitch is already showing cracks so its not a complete disaster. No team has got to that score at the Gabba batting first and lost I believe.

Instant disaster! Stokes run out. Pair seemed really settled too.

Brook should be shot for that one. Played a wide ball from Starc, only the second ball since Starc came back on and caught in the slips. Just stupid.

If he wasn't why did the defender foul him? He didn't accidentally make contact did he?

True. I suspect that Gaye would do very well in League 1 and attract offers from Championship clubs the season after. That's if he doesn't go abroad of course.

That's a promotion for Pickering! (ridiculously).

With all the injuries we have and the need to carefully manage the players do you not have a problem with Ribeiro and Pickering not playing? We are lacking defensively, particularly in the final phase of the game but these 2 who played regularly (and well) in a team that finished 7th are never picked, not even as substitutes. Aren't we shooting ourselves in the foot!

Off to Arsenal?

Same old every game. Rarely score more than 1 so every opposition team knows never to give up. Same subs at same time even though its failed almost every time. Any other manager would have carried on as we were or shored up the defence. Not us. We should be looking up at a Play-Off position after these last 2 games when we were in control for 99% of the games. Instead we are looking down. Gut wrenching.

Wouldn't hurt if he learned to shoot. Noody has a decent shot on them with possible exception of Cantwell.

Does any team concede late late goals like we do?

Has to be a reason why Ribeiro and Pickering never feature.

That's a good response! But short-term!

One thing that will go in your favour Parsons is travel. The way we are going, away games will be nearer in the future!

And off-sides, though even that's gone crazy---5 minutes to decide it was a hairs' breadth in it!.

Exactly---how can getting rid of your best assets and replacing them with mostly inferior ones justify the description of "overhaul"? Overhaul implies a plan.. This is just wish and hope. We finished 7th Chaddy! Remember?

But surely this charade can't go on indefinitely and then we won't be playing at Ewood in blue and white? Then they'll lose what they hold most dear.

Once again I marvel at the lengths you go to to support your club--rain or shine.If we were playing Torquay on a Tuesday night you and a few others would be there! But don't you ever feel taken for granted? Or anger at what Pasha and Co are doing to this once great Club?

They know what they are doing but are still stupid. It'll end in tears.

I prefer the more likely explanation---we owe Rangers a bonus payment if he plays more than 50 games for us.

Fits in perfectly.

Especially at the prices we want to pay....

I wish we still had him.

Good way to lose a friend!
