Frustration doesn't even come close to describing the game tonight. Tomasson has to take a big share of the blame for me. After the best performance for years at Huddersfield there was absolutely no reason to change the team and that disappointed me. His set up was even stranger with only Dolan pressing with Gallagher, Szmodics and Brereton some ten or fifteen yards behind him. The Hull defenders had as much time as they wanted to step forwards and pick a pass. Individually there were some poor performances probably to numerous to name as the slow tempo, sideways football made an unwelcome comeback. Carter and Hyam had the most passes but out of a combined 211 passes 175 were in their own half. A shocking statistic. It was screaming out for change at half time with several strong candidates for the book but Tomasson simply left it far too late to replace under achievers on the night. Gallagher and Brereton were abysmal as time and time again they made poor decisions. I can accept that no players gets it right all the time but tonight they just didn't do anything at all, they didn't contribute anything worthwhile. In the current poll my vote was that we would get in the playoffs. I want to revise that because after tonight my faith has taken a huge bartering.

I've been told it's Pears.

His movement is a joy to watch.

James Corden's advice was invaluable then. 😂

Lamps working his magic again 👎👎

Hull have sold around 1200 tickets and they can buy tickets at Ewood tonight. That's a good effort considering the kick off time and it's liiiiiiivvvvvvve on Sky.

He was sent off at Everton recently and was/is serving a three match ban. It may be one of those many anomalies that allow you to play in the under 21's if he is still suspended from first team football.

A great comeback from two down to win today in a really entertaining game. Losing at half time by two goals they showed great character and fighting spirit to win but the difference was Sam Burns who came on at half time. He was aggressive, prepared to run in behind and drag his marker about. Edun was excellent in midfield also as he pretty much dominated in the second half after Spurs had the upper hand in the first half. The win gives us a real chance of staying up now.

At this time of the season I look at form and if any teams have momentum and I see out of our group Nobbers. I don't believe there are any foregone conclusions in the Championship as any team can beat any other as happens regularly. Let's get today out of the way, evaluate where we are and move on to the next game. Right now all that matters is winning tonight for me.

The Norwich centre half, Gibson was a guest on Sky last night and is still injured although he said he hopes to be fit for their last match. Hanley is out for the season too which leaves them really short, as demonstrated by shipping five last night. They have to win three of their last four realistically but for me Nobbers are more of a threat to us. They have hit form and don't concede many. One game at a time though and it will be a nervy afternoon today watching the scores come through.

Morton from Liverpool for peanuts? I don't think that will be the case. Irrespective it's about delivering the goods which Archer and Ramsey have done. So for Middlesbrough it's money well spent as it looks like getting them into the playoffs.

I would imagine the loan fees are similar to what we paid for Hirst and are paying for Morton. Our of curiosity I wonder what we are paying for Mola.

Two of Middlesbrough's goals tonight have been scored by loanees. How many goals have our loan players contributed again?

Since Kaminski's poor performance at Burnley he went on to concede 16 goals in seven league matches and as I recall was directly responsible for a good number of them. Pears has conceded 12 goals in 12 league games. I see absolutely no reason for Pears to be dropped in favour of Kaminski. His errors have been fewer and he simply doesn't take the risks Kaminski does when passing the ball out.

There are many damning facts associated with the last twelve years. Two relegations, countless useless managers and executives, millions squandered, a shrinking supporter base and many, many more facts that prove they have been a disaster. You comment about not staying in the Premier League was conjecture to try and justify your point of view. The facts don't lie.

Conjecture.

That really has nothing to do with Venkys total mismanagement of Rovers. In fact buying a stable Premier League club for around £40m (iirc) was an absolute bargain. They royally screwed up pretty much from day one and still are. It's only recently they tried to sell the STC for housing and wanted to move the STC to the Academy until there was a realisation that we could lose our Cat One status. Then they set up a new company to buy the STC.

My recollection is that it was only one of them involved, the one who likes mixing with celebrities.

For what reason would you leave Carter out?

The best analogy I have seen about their reign and people being grateful is that it's like being run over by a negligent driver of a car, being on a life support machine through your injuries and then being grateful to the driver who put you there because he is paying for the electricity to keep you alive. Any yet the 'if it wasn't for Venkys where would we be' line is still trotted out. Unbelievable.

Do you think that had they taken over any other business they would have ripped up the blueprint, sacked extremely competent people and taken that business on a downward trajectory that has cost them millions?

We were eighth in the Premier League when they showeup and had £20m debt throughgood management. Jacks legacy was intact when they came - to say anything else is nonsense.

What about the impact on the local economy? Around 50000 fans would visit Blackburn over a nine month period and the majority wanted food and drink. Local businesses were generally the beneficiaries. Also the number of people employed by the club both full and part time. This badly advised rhetoric has worn thin now. They were told in the letter which is in the public domain that what they were doing was wrong and contravened regulations. This was sent by John Williams, Tom Finn and Martin Goodman. They ignored it and got rid of those three instead. Respect Jack Walkers legacy? They have peed all over it.

A cameo of Joe's ability, strength and work rate from Monday.

Everything at any football club is geared towards the first team and as such Tomasson wanted to give several players game time who needed it because they might be required for the run in. Imagine Rankin-Cancelo getting injured and Brittain struggling to get through games due to a lack of match fitness. We played Arsenal the other week with a full complement of players with first team experience and not a word said.
