This is what is rubbing a lot of fans the wrong way, myself included. Trying to bullshit the fans about things they've just seen with their own eyes is not the best plan, when you've just walked through the door.

The question is where the club will be and how irreversible the damage is at that point.

v Middlesbrough (a) - 16/3/24
Andy replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Other than his brief appearance against Newcastle, I'd honestly never heard of Koumetio before. However, my Liverpool-supporting mate told me the other night that he's pretty highly rated at Anfield and was surprised we'd got him in on loan. Chuck him in against Boro - we're expecting defeat anyway, so no pressure. -
I don't think we were intentionally throwing matches; it's the result of putting an absolute incompetent nobody like Kean in charge of the team. What I do find interesting though is NDAs being handed out like sweets. And they're still clearly active, as no former player has been brave enough to speak up about what went on. Why would you do this if there's nothing dodgy being concealed?

The worst bit was, if he'd made the effort and won the ball, SS would have been clean through.

Hard to see anything other than a heavy defeat, based on form under JE to date. Unless the players can be arsed playing like they did against Newcastle again. -

Andy replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
He makes the point that they've not had much time on the training ground, which is a reasonable enough point. Problem is, we also have no plan or actual tactic. Yesterday, Plymouth either had a clear instruction that a simple ball over the top of our CBs would bring them success, or their tactic was changed early on to adapt. What did we do? What is our plan during games? I genuinely don't see it. It's like 11 lads are selected and the rest is just whatever happens on the pitch. This has been an observation since JE took over and it's genuinely concerning. -

I've had pelters for this, but I'm sticking with it - Leo will become a good GK and play at a higher level than Pears ever will. Well, technically he already had (international football). He's had a poor start overall with us, but I think there's a very decent GK in there. -

I genuinely couldn't get past the first sentence of that post-match interview: 'The effort the group put in to limit them to very few chances was amazing' Does he think that the game was played behind closed doors? We saw Plymouth have about 17 efforts on goal with our own eyes - and they should have been out of sight by HT. Baffling. -

Andy replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I wish I could be as optimistic as you are - Plymouth should have scored at least 3/4 in that first half. We sat deep and were wide open. A proper team today would have been out of sight by HT. The only surprise is that we managed to not concede more than one goal, though you do have to say Leo had a decent game. But then, the manager publicly stated that a point would have been a good result before the game (at home to Plymouth...), so at least we lived up to his expectations. -

Warnock is exactly what we need as a club right now. -

7 of the easiest games of the season as well. And yet he's spinning a point at home to Millwall/Plymouth as a positive result. Fuck off. -

Andy replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
If he genuinely tries to spin this as a good point, or a positive result (presuming we don't concede again), he is an absolute joker. -

We fail to beat Millwall, QPR, Plymouth at home - we deserve to go down. -

Agreed - he’s usually a hard worker if nothing else. But he seemed a bit lazy and/or disinterested today. -

McFadz should have been subbed at HT, their forward had him all first half. -

Whilst it was (and it really was), it wasn’t even in the top 10 of ‘shit things we did’ in that first half. -
v Plymouth Argyle (h) - 09/03/2024
Andy replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Good start and nice finish for the goal, but after that we sat back and a better side than Plymouth score 3/4 in that half. Have to credit Leo, he’s had a good half and kept us in it. Concerning approach to the game though, this is one we need to win and a point just isn’t good enough. Opportunity for JE to prove his worth, we need some changes at HT or we’ll be lucky to draw this. -

Andy replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I think it's this attitude that isn't doing him any favours at all. We've gone from the JDT 'we'll try and beat anyone in the division' approach to 'we'll be happy to take a point at home to Millwall and Plymouth'. It's fine being cautious, but we've had enough winnable games over the last couple of months to put us well clear of a relegation scrap. You cannot underestimate mindset and attitude in professional sport. Tell players that a point at home to Millwall or Plymouth is a good result enough and they'll believe it. -

Whilst Leo has been poor overall, I thought he was fine on Tues. Some good starting positions, handling and distribution all fine. Expect better for their goal (obviously), but the defenders have to take the bulk of the blame for that one. Feel some are a bit too harsh on him. -

Andy replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I think this is why I've lost any enthusiasm I've had over the last couple of years. JDT was that bit of hope that we might do something properly, show a bit of ambition - call out the incompetence we've seen for the last 12 years and forcibly challenge & try to change it. And now we're back to no mark / no ambition / towing the line / a new manager bounce that never left the floor in the first place / 'we're all in it together'... Absolute bollocks, the lot of it.- 3118 replies

If we fail to win yet another home game against a side around us, we really have to consider if Eustace is the right man for the job. 'Just failing to lose' will not keep us up, we need to actually try to win some matches before we start playing the better sides in the division, in the run-in. -
Thing is, it means we’ve been behind in several games we should have been winning. He’s had the perfect run of games to get us well clear of the bottom 3, yet we’ve won none and sit 2 points from the drop zone. In his own words: no excuses.
-
Impossible to disagree with this. Feels like they’re cheating the fans, themselves. I can accept us being shit if we’re grinding out results. We’re currently shit and failing to beat the teams below/around us. Eustace has shown absolutely nothing, other than to emphasise how much of a miracle JDT worked last season (and the first half of this). If we do go down, it’s completely deserved.

You could apply that same statement to most of the teams we’ve played since Eustace arrived. Dreadful tonight, no desire to win that game at all. Minus Szmodics and possibly Ayari, there is no actual talent in that side. We are going down, make no mistake.
