Just to add one more stat…

In the last 10 league matches, the Sunderland victory was the only one where somebody other than Sammie scored for us.

Just thinking about the other strikers besides Sammi - Exactly what have they contributed this season ?

Our ‘number 9s’ (Gallagher, Telalovic, and Leonard) have scored 6 league goals between them.

Fats Domino - Blueberry Hill 

AC/DC - Back In Black

We're at home. we need a result and a drastic improvement after today, they're just coming to terms with a heartbreaking and exhausting 130+ minutes at Wembley and also have a tough game against Hull on Wednesday, just over 48 hours before they come to Ewood.

They've lost 3 of their last 4 in the league.

They're 9 points off the top 6 with 12 points to play for so lose on Wednesday and their league season is over.

If this manager and squad had anything about them they'd be relishing this one to prove people wrong after today.

Sadly we don't operate like that and we will relinquish any advantage we may have. Waggott will be hoping they buy loads of tickets so we can give up home advantage again.

Looking on their website we’ve given them an initial allocation of 4,339.

Interesting choice of ‘keeper.

Can’t be any worse than the other two.

Top 10?

What on earth brings you to that conclusion?

A manager with just 2 wins in 15 games, a really poor squad with horrifically weak mentality, selling our only goalscorer and no investment in the summer and you think we will get better???

In fairness he didn’t say which league we’d be finishing top ten in…

It’s still apparently on JDT if we go down though, guys….

If we stay up it will be because of the start we made under JDT and not the finish we’ve had under JE.

That couldn't have gone better for us - Coventry losing a heartbreaker on penalties. 

Lovely stuff. Hope they're done for the season now. 

Just a pity both teams couldn’t lose.

I hope Cov lose today in a penalty shoot-out, then Hull give them a tonking mid-week. They will have nothing to play for next saturday.

Yes, worst Utd team I’ve seen in a long while.

They’re not a team they’re eleven individuals.

If VAR is going to look at offside it should require clear daylight between the attacker and the defender.

Those sorts of incidents are not clear and obvious errors by the linesman.

The cup semi final going to extra time might help us.

Of course not giving shitty goals away would help as well.

I'm not sure if the clown noticed but we had a 'magnificent' chance today. Also given where we were when he became manager I'm not sure I'd be using the word magnificent when talking about scrapping to stay in the league. That rather says it all about his standards and ambitions.

I’d like to shove his book of cliches right up his…

Unfortunately it is only delaying the inevitable for 12 months..

That’s how I see it too.

We’ve failed to beat Sheffield Wednesday, Rotherham and Huddersfield this season.
 

6 games against three of the worst teams in the league and not a single win.
 

What an absolute disgrace!

Plus only one win in the 4 games vs Birmingham and Plymouth.

7 points in 10 games against those below us in the table.

First bit is still true, the likes of Stoke and QPR would canter past us we just have to somehow hope Huddersfield and Brum save us now 

Or Plymouth

This group of dossers can only play when nothing is expected of them. Millwall away last year,  Newcastle at home and Leeds away.

I never expect anything from them.

I swear we’d still concede if the opposition just stood still for 90 minutes

How the fuck did we beat Leeds?

2 mins ago 😞 

Sorry about that 🤦‍♂️

At what point, if any, does a point become acceptable to Wednesday?

16 minutes ago, RevidgeBlue said:

Have to agree, for me there's a lot of players out there stealing a living whilst the magnificent SS keeps us afloat.

We'd be on about 20 points without him.

At a normal Club a huge clear out would be required in summer.

I worked this out yesterday and removing his goals put us on (I think) 35 points.

Of course this doesn’t take into account the influence of the rest of his game.

Wednesday are in very good form, the league table is irrelevant. Saying we should expect to win is a bit daft to be honest seeing as we’ve only won 2 since the new manager took over

They’ve won 1 of their last 7 league games.

Edit - beaten to it 🤦‍♂️
