v Ipswich Town (h) - Good Friday, 29/3/24, 17:30
Andy replied to philipl's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
We were in free fall under JDT, but we’ve replaced him with a dud. He’s failed to win a single game (against some of the teams below/around us), we’ve continued to concede goals and now we’re much less of an offensive threat. Today was an easy a game as we are going to get this season. And we didn’t just fail to win, we handed them the 3 points. -

At least the time on the training ground paid off. Seems to be stealing a living. -

Absolutely dreadful. Ipswich were very poor today and we barely laid a glove on them. Our only hope this season is that the couple of teams below us are even shitter than we are. Some of those players did not show the hunger today and that makes me more angry than a lack of ability. -

The officiating has been atrocious (do we expect anything else in this league?), but let’s not allow it to disguise the fact that we are losing at home to one of the worst sides we’ve played in recent memory. -

Which makes the fact that we’re hopelessly losing to them even harder to take. We are too soft, lack quality. -

Gilsenan must be sat there watching Chrisene playing LW, trying to make sense of the world. -

Still waiting for that new manager bounce. 10 games and counting… -

We’ve done absolutely nothing, other than waste possession and concede the softest goal I can remember in living history. Struggling to find any positives from that half? -

Where’s the fight, the anger or desire? Sad to see what we have become. And, if we’re honest, Eustace isn’t going to be the man to do anything about it. -

At home to a club playing in League 1 less than 12 months ago. Bin the lot of them and start again. -

That’s an embarrassing piece of goalkeeping. My 8 year old son would have saved that. That’s a lot worse than any error Wahlstedt has made this season. And now we lose this match. -
He's an ambitious lad; he won't be interested in playing the Scottish league if there's an opportunity to play in the Premier League.
-
In fairness, the good players he has lined up (eg O'Brien, Undav, etc) get conveniently scuppered by the club. Yet we're able to piss £20k a week away on an overweight cripple, who won't play another minute for the club.

I was driving home from work when I listened to this, so might have misheard. But I'm sure early in the interview, GB states that the issues in India will have no financial impact on the club, including transfers. Only to later confirm that it had caused a massive impact in the summer and it would also need resolving (along with knowing which division we're in) before we know what business we can do in the summer. Which one is it?

I think the Italy game in the last Euros final was a perfect demonstration of Southgate's limitations as a coach. 1-0, on top and the game/trophy there to be won. But he sat back, put on players like Henderson and invited Italy to come upon us. And we all know what happened from there.
-
One thing that is interesting, off the back of this interview, is that it shows fans are deliberately being directly lied to. Whether it's the SS/Hyam/JDT bits or some other things, either Broughton or Waggott have openly been lying to the fans. And I know where my money is, between the two.
-
I don't dislike Gregg, but I thought that was a bit of a nothing interview. Didn't discover anything we didn't already know, didn't address the big tickets in any level of detail and was just a bit politician-y.

And what amazes me even more is that the club has taken the 'fingers in the ears / hands over the eyes / they'll all forget about it if we leave it long enough' route. Massive kick in the dick for fans. In terms of the match, I can't explain how depressing it is that a team freshly promoted from League 1 is the favourite for a game being played at Ewood. -
Martin Keown. Though, if we're apportioning blame, it was Tord Grip who did the convincing that Keown was the man to take instead of Jansen. Sven was planning on taking Matt right up to the last hours.

John Eustace - our head coach
Andy replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
In fairness, if we're comparing, JE's games have been far easier - and some we should have been winning (teams around/below us). He's now got plenty of time on the training ground before the next game, against a team full of confidence. The next few games will give us an idea of whether JE is up to it or not... -

Impressed with both. Hedges worked really hard at both ends of the pitch and has the ability to travel with the ball. He's hit and miss, but he does have quality at this level. -

Andy replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Agree with all of that. And an example of that last point was Ayari's superb curved ball over the top, right to SG's feet. Obviously SG made a mess of it, but a good striker likely scores from there. -

Clean sheet and a point away to one of the form teams - it's a decent result. Thought we played much better than the last couple and created some decent situations in the final third. Expected nothing today, so pleasantly surprised that we were not dry bummed. -

I think when the manager is telling them that a point at home to Millwall and/or Plymouth Fucking Argyle is a good result, they will naturally start to believe it. Mentality and momentum are massive in competitive sport. Coach the players to be winners, if you want them to win.
