Who is responsible for results? The most important thing is results and so far under Eustace they haven't been good enough. It really doesn't matter what happens at Brockhall or what Eustace says. Judging him solely on results he has failed.

He has the security of a two and a half year contract. I don't believe we could afford to get rid of him after the lunacy of that deal. Irrespective of what happens between now and May 4th I really think Eustace will be here next season.

Firstly I think Eustace got it wrong today with his decision to play a back five. Because it worked really well at Leeds he didn't have to go with it today and whilst it wasn't the reason we lost it certainly helped Wednesday dominate midfield who won pretty much every second ball as they outnumbered us. As the manager he has to take responsibility for results and whilst he has been here they have been poor and the concession of eight goals recently puts to bed the theory we have stopped the flow of goals against. It's not good enough and from the high of Leeds last week the players seemed to be expecting to win on the back of this by just turning up. Individual and collective mistakes are really hurting us and the players looked like they were feeling sorry for themselves after Wednesday's second goal. They showed very little character and the body language really worries me as we go into the last two games. Not one player comes out with any credit today (contrast that to a week ago) and defensively we were shocking as Wednesday couldn't believe their luck. Pears will rightly come in for the most criticism but pretty much every player showed very little courage on the ball and took the easy option far too often which again played into their hands. The biggest worry from the last four games is which Rovers will turn up for the Coventry and Leicester games as our bipolar performances have really confused us. I was desperately trying to avoid the word 'bottle' but that is what it might come down to. If it does I fear for us.

Somebody is telling lies here.

I sincerely hope all the major FA Cup sponsors pull out in protest at this. I don't expect them to but they really do have some clout. Bullingham is now saying that this was agreed with several other organisations including a four man EFL committee. Whose best interests are they representing? I wouldn't trust Rick Parry with anything.

The FA are astonishingly weak and quite simply have acceded to the big Premier League clubs but at the expense of others who don't have the benefit of being state owned or have billionaire owners. In a normal world this should have been decided democratically by all the full member clubs not just a few who are selfish. Most of the big clubs could actually field two separate teams full of experience and internationals. The FA are there to act in the best interests of all the clubs but don't. It's interesting that they have slipped this in before the new regulator is appointed. Hopefully ITV and BBC also have something to say as they are losing live matches to broadcast. The FA Cup was once the jewel in the crown of English football. It's the very people who should be protecting it that are damaging it.

Nothing can be taken for granted in the Championship and to do so would be folly. Take the Bristol aberration out of it and we have only conceded 10 goals in thirteen games whereas they struggle in front of goal. As I said the first goal will be vital. In truth they need to win more than we do.

Rovers will no longer be offering a live domestic streaming service. As they are specific about domestic I assume there will still be a overseas service on offer. This is the reason why: https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12873679/sky-sports-agrees-new-five-year-efl-deal-over-1000-matches-per-season

Sheffield Wednesday have only scored 36 goals this season (only 12 away from home) which is the second lowest in the Championship and their last six matches have yielded six points. As a team they have only scored 12 more goals than Szmodics. The only statistic in which they better us is goals conceded and the difference there is only four. They will come full of commitment and fight. If we match that I expect a comfortable win. As ever the first goal will be huge.

Hopefully we can cash in even more on a big away following.

Surely doing both is the best option. There are many, many sticks to beat Waggott with but I don't believe maximising the number of away attendees is one of them. His failings with regard to home ticket sales is well documented and mostly true and that point can be rightly laid firmly at his door.

One of the caveats around the cheaper season tickets was that the income from filling the Darwen End with away fans four or five times a season would offset the losses from the cheaper prices we paid. It worked really well and the initiative served two purposes. I really don't buy the argument about having lots of away fans and giving our opponents some kind of advantage. I'm sure it works the other way whereby any player worth his salt would want to play in a real atmospheric surrounding irrespective of where the noise comes from.

And that's Muric to my ears 😁. A reported £18m for Trafford and an undisclosed fee for Muric. If you melted them together in a pot you wouldn't get a good 'un. Kompany had his pants pulled down by City.

Well done to WATR for winning the award. It's them that get the credit for a terrific initiative which showed the club the potential we have and gave lots of kids the chance to go. Hopefully there will be other initiatives in the future which can engage potential supporters. Congratulations to Sammy Szmodics for his prestigious achievement. His road to this point was difficult and he has done the hard yards to get here. The silver lining in a season of clouds.

Adam Wharton was really good again today in their win at Anfield. It seems like he has added another dimension to his game with some diligent defensive work to go with his undoubted attacking flair.

Just looking ahead to the weekends fixtures I would be really nervous if I was a Plymouth fan. They have a huge game at Stoke and if they lose and the teams around them win (on paper all winnable games) they will be outside the bottom three on goal difference. They then have Millwall away and Hull at home. However if Plymouth win Stoke could tumble. Squeaky bum time.

No words needed.

I would say that speed off the mark is one of the most important assets of a striker. I agree about his decision making and that is a frustrating aspect of his game. In a high press he is our most important player.

Just watching MOTD and just as the dingles could be heard singing 'we won the league at Ewood' Muric does a step over and costs them two points 😂😂. And Bellamy says it not his mistake but their mistake for asking his to play like that. Hilarious 😂😂

And we loved it 😇. The boot has been on the other foot plenty of times so I understand the anger of the Leeds fans but as for sympathy? No chance.

Szmodics tapped one of the spare balls onto the pitch late in the second half as Meslier was about to place the match ball for a goal kick. Not massive in the scheme of things but important to us. In truth I found it really surprising that there was only one minute extra played at the end of the first half. We were at it from minute one 😁😁.

So now Szmodics lacks pace along with Dolan.

How when he kept up with the Leeds defenders and Szmodics.

His legs move fast but his body doesn't - I don't get that. He has shown pace on numerous occasions like yesterday when he sprinted the full half of the pitch when Szmodics went through. His run actually occupied another defender and allowed Szmodics to get his shot away.

I have read several times about his lack of pace but I don't see that. His decision making at times is questionable but yesterday he was a real team player and disciplined in pretty much everything he did.
