"Hasn't been great" 🙄 Worst in 150 years.

Absolute rubbish. Ten signings. Baradji has been really good. Give them that one. Gudjohnssen has shown glimpses of promise and obviously has some potential - but his all round game is sadly lacking, may or may not make it overall. The rest have been generally shite. Baradji might or might not turn out to be decent, but a player who still isnt fit enough to start two weeks shy of Christmas can't be classed as a good signing. No other way of dressing it up Im afraid. Tavares, Miller, De Neve and Henrikssen are particularly poor in my book and Forshaw should never have been re-signed. Hickman and Mcglaughlin have just about been average and Moreshita (unlike Kargbo) looks to have some natural ability but we need to see far more from him.

But but but - he's "honest!".

I dont know whether to dignify that remark with a response. On the rare occasions Kargbo has been available he hasnt shown anything at all. The point is, in the summer, ismael signed ten players Mclaughlin, De Neve, Miller, Tavares, Baradji, Hickman, Henrikssen, Forshaw, Moreshita and Gudjohnssen. He would no doubt pretend they're all decent players and can make a difference. Last night all apart from Forshaw were available. All sides will pick up a few injuries and suspensions along the way, to blame the fact we sit in 20th or have one home win two weeks shy on Christmas on injuries is laughable. it's the abysmal recruitment and poor management which is to blame. Still a couple of weeks ago it was the atmosphere at Ewood, last week it was the officiating, I suppose injuries can be this week's excuse. (Rotate as necessary)

Lol. You're kidding ........right? 🤔

So did everyone else after ten games of this season.

But won't get it....... Doubt we'll get a striker -they cost money. Some desperado on loan at best would be my guess.

All excuses. (Not aimed at you particularly) The defence weren't the problem tonight. Further forward there was only Tronstad and Hedges unavailable and off the top of my head all of the ten players he signed in summer were available. Edit sorry, minus Forshaw.

Montgomery?

Who was unavailable tonight apart from Tronstad who might have made a difference?

Doubt there was anything like 10,200 on looked more like 5-6 k on the TV.

I knew that, perhaps I saw that again and assumed it was the announcement for the final squad. 😊

Yes (I think)

We had two young CB's on the bench tonight, what's the point in them if you can't throw them in if required? We had to do so with Pratt and arguably he's been the highlight of the season.

He knew that was going to happen when he signed up for the gig and his £600k p.a. It can't be used as an excuse on his behalf, he's fully complicit.

It usually works by Committee with the Head Coach being presented with a list of players to choose from and him having the final say.

Im not sure morale is that good. How many times have we served it up to the opposition from the first whistle this season at Ewood? Once maybe v Ipswich?

He's put that squad together, if he doesn't rate many of them it's on him.

Too negative at the start. Start with Cantwell and Baradji then take them off after an hour.

He's certainly doing his best to break the record for the lowest number of home points we've got in a 46 game season. Think Exiled said it was 19?

Tbh if you've one home win by Christmas you dont deserve to stay up.

Bore off.

We looked better when Cantwell, Moreshita and Baradji came on.

Two hours of my life Ill never get back. Still more abandonments than home wins this season. Ismael got the line up wrong at the start. Usual no show in the first half. Marginally better 2nd. Overall a point not good enough. I think we're going down.

Disagree. If he was on the line and deliberately batted the ball away with his hand it would be a red and a pen I think.
