Yep, three points and I'd be surprised if we went down even if we didn't win another point.

On the game, feeling dangerously optimistic about the result after four improved performances which isn't a good sign given my punting record. Think we'll win or draw but won't be betting on it everyone will be glad to hear.

When we sign some good ones! I have a good opinion of Szmodics. I also seem to have a much higher opinion of Scott Wharton than many. I think you're forgetting we're on a run of one win in twenty odd games under two different coaches the first of whom many on here revere as the best thing since sliced bread so they can't be that good.

Blimey, shows what a game of opinions football is! I think Hedges is absolutely dire and would struggle to get a game at League 1 or League 2 level if he wasn't here. Like Gallaher he's an absolute sick note as well so you'd be extremely hard pressed to find two players who offer less in terms of talent and reliability than either of those 2 imo.

I thought he got some very harsh criticism for his comments about JDT - if he didn't like playing suicide football in a kamikaze system that's his prerogative. Some managers and players just don't see eye to eye.

Good result. Move onto the next game. Other results are irrelevant as it's in our own hands at the moment. We just have to take care of ourselves.

Bah Humbug.

I'd say that's three fairly decent performances under the circumstances in the last three games against Boro, Brum and Ipswich given the run we'd been on under each of the last 2 coaches. Hopefully we're starting to turn a corner and there are grounds for cautious optimism.

Are you Gallagher's Mum? He's an absolute liability and our top earner to boot. I would however like to think we could sign Dolan up - failure to do so would reflect extremely badly on Broughton yet again

Apart from the last game against Ipawich!

No.

Ask and you shall receive!!

If we take care of our own results it doesn't matter what anyone else does.

I'm not watching it - what has Pears done wrong?

Spot on, that's roughly my position as well.

Have to disagree - selecting Hedges and Gallagher is like playing with nine men. I'm not sure why Ayari hasn't had more game time, he looks a pretty decent player.

OK I'll believe you, it just sounded like you wouldn't. And that a lot of others were even more entrenched in their opposition to him than you!

I made comparisons to the start Eustace has made here to Iley's record. I wasn't comparing them directly, Whilst Eustace hasn't impressed at all thus far I think it's far too early to write him off completely and at this stage I think the players are still playing for him as such.

But let's face it, even if he does his job and keeps us up you still won't be having him will you?

Yes, as I've clearly said.

That's my worry as well. The mentality at the Club is such that we always seem to do just enough to fail whether it be throwing away a play off place from a seemingly unassailable position two seasons running or winning games when it's too late to avoid the drop. I expect the same scenario followed no doubt by much wailing and gnashing of teeth about how unlucky we've been like when we won the last two under Mowbray when it was too late and went down on 52 points. The fact we'd gone I think seven without a win before that didn't seem to count.

Mowbray admitted in a jumpers for goalposts type interview that was reproduced on here that it was his decision not to renew certain contracts during Covid as it wasnt his money he was spending and so as not to upset the rest of the group. Other than that don't disagree with anything you say.

I really liked John Pickering. I remember the fans going on the Ewood pitch to chant his mame after we got relegated as well!

You keep talking with the benefit of hindsight. I don't suppose you'd have been complaining too much about not selling Rothwell and Brereton if we'd been promoted during either of the last two seasons. Something which seems a million miles away now.

Quality stuff from someone who knows the history of the Club inside out. That should wipe the insincere cheesy grin off his smug face for a while. We could do with a similarly well researched list of questions for Waggott and get them all into the public domain somehow. Need to ramp up the pressure on these chancers. And yes the pressure needs to be turned up on the owners as well before anyone starts. If there are any legitimate ways of embarrassing them back at home then that would have more impact than chucking a handful of tennis balls on the pitch at Ewood I'd have thought. (Although if the latter is to be done again it needs organising properly and about a thousand people throwing them so it doesn't look to the outside world like the work of a couple of cranks)
