This is my huge concern. Whatever you think of Mowbray's tenure here, he did a very good job of uniting the club and turning it around from the death spiral it was in, after we went down. Can this current wet lettuce do that? His standards are as high as 'let's just be competitive' at home to Sheffield Weds. We were anything but, in any case. Just accept that he was a gamble that didn't work and get somebody in who knows what they are doing. As for smiling and being all dismissive in his presser...

Agreed. But apparently it's not the manager's fault. The guy who spent all week preparing them for the game, set the tactics and picked the team. The same guy who hasn't managed a single win at home, despite playing some of the poorest teams in the division. The guy is WAY out of his depth and it comes across loud and clear in his pressers. I'd even take Gareth Ainsworth at this stage. At least he gives a shit about the club and would get them playing for the shirt.

And there he is in the post-match, smiling away, saying how great we were but 'goals change games'. I have no more words for this, it's like we're being gaslighted.

Today far outweighs the Leeds win. No effort, nobody willing to take responsibility. And then Pears... Eustace clearly isn't up to the job and needs to go - now - whilst we still have a chance to stay up. If he tries to spin this positively in the post-match, he is beyond deluded.

Eustace has had some of the easiest and winnable games in his tenure and he’s failed miserably. Not a single home win under him. Has to go, in my opinion.

Not content with fucking up the back pass, he then fucks a second time up by stopping it going over the line - when he had plenty of time to do so. This has to be his last game for us.

Anybody want to give Pears a free ride on that one? Absolutely criminal.

Spot on. Wahlstedt does that and people go into meltdown. Pears needs replacing next season or we’ll keep seeing the same errors.

He has been poor today, but he’s been very good for the majority of the season. Does the simple tasks but does them well. He’ll be 2nd in the POTS awards and rightly so.

Hyam definitely at fault, but Pears had time to bring it down, or smash it into row Z. Then he hesitated getting back to goal. Big error. Luckily for them both, Szmodics bailed them out.

Pears strikes (yet) again.

JE: ‘the most important thing today is that we’re competitive’. How inspiring. It’s like we’re playing Man City at the Etihad. Bollocks to that, a win and we’re safe. The important thing is that we’re positive and try to win the game. I genuinely cannot fathom the small-time mentality that’s been allowed to creep in since JDT left.

Agree with that - and I think Sigurdsson will make a very decent number 10 (certainly better than left winger).

I never get the 'TV money' argument. If Scottish clubs had the same TV revenue as English clubs, the top players are still not choosing either Rangers or Celtic over the likes of City, United, Liverpool - or even the London clubs. Bit deluded to think otherwise.

It's the lack of ambition that frustrates me as much as anything. We've just spent the best part of 2 years challenging for the top 6 and talking about wanting to go up - yet right now, every point is celebrated by the club, as if staying up in the Championship is an achievement for Blackburn Rovers. This summer is ginormous in shaping how the future of our club looks.

Neither penalty shout was a penalty, not even close. I’d be embarrassed if either was given for Rovers. Fortunately the ref called things fairly evenly in the second half and saw them throwing themselves to the floor at every opportunity.

That’s a sensational result. Full credit to all 👍🏻

Horrible performance, good result (the bit that matters) at HT. The referee seems desperate to give Leeds absolutely anything - expect a second half penalty for them and a red card for us.

You won't get anything on Fernhurst/Oakdale (up Jack Walker Way) for under £200k. I don't think anyone on the estate has any complaints about Rovers being down the road, it's more a case of the roads being blocked due to people abandoning their cars on double yellows / blocking people's drives / things like that.

To be fair, some of the parking going up Jack Walker Way, on double yellows all the way up, prevents emergency service vehicles from getting through. In fact you don’t get more than 1 car through at a time, which is fun when something is coming the other way. I’m not arsed either way, as I walk it down to the ground, but some of the matchday parking is pretty grim on a regular basis.

Ah, the Ben Marshall 'Undr The Cosh' interview - only listened to it this week! The level of unprofessionalism during Coyle's era; it's absolutely no shock we went down under him. I also finally listened to King Rat Bradley Orr's one this week also. What a fucking cock end. 'If only the fans knew what was going on behind the scenes...' We knew more than you did, you big-nosed Scouse prick. Completely whitewashed all of the Kean stuff and made him out to look like some kind of innocent party 🤮

Hard to predict anything other than a heavy defeat. If Bristol City can steamroll us without barely getting out of a jog, Leeds have the potential to make it a cricket score.

Agreed. He's either intentionally spouting bollocks, or he genuinely believes that those 13 matches he's been in charge for have been 'fantastic'. And I'm not sure which one worries me the most.

One of the greatest attributes any leader can have is humility. All JE is interested in is self preservation with these stupid soundbites. I can't bring myself to listen to his interviews. You know what generic bollocks is going to leave his mouth before he even starts. I'd genuinely bin him right now and let Johnson & Lowe take the remaining games.

The most bizarre bit was keeping him on at HT, but taking off arguably our best player in that first half - and certainly our best defender (SW). Be interested to hear the justification for this...
