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...

Genuinely the worst result and performance in recent memory, with Hyam probably the worst individual performance I can ever remember seeing. In a game we needed not to lose, against Bristol Fucking City. If Eustace's first words after this game aren't 'we apologise to the fans', he is absolutely clueless. If we stay up this season, it's purely down to how bad teams below us are.

If he does, he'll have completely eroded any credit he'd earned for the last couple of decent performances. Stop with the bullshit, this has been nothing short of horrific.

Thing is, Bristol haven't even had to play well tonight - cruised in first gear, yet steamrolled us. Pathetic, every single one of them.

Fuck me, Hyam really has gone full Duffy. Pathetic performance front to back tonight, embarrassing.

To be fair, he was very good yesterday and certainly one of our stronger performers.

I do think he's got a better touch than Gally - the couple of matches where he was given a start under JDT, I think he looks decent enough. Should have scored a few (at least a couple at Hull springs to mind), but he's just struggling to get that first one away.

I've been critical over his first several games, but I have to give credit for the last couple. Let's hope it's the foundations of something good.

Agreed, he was about as far away from MotM as anyone today - Mr Jackson is on crack. Brittain was the obvious choice for that, really good today.

I thought we were really good today - the press was excellent and we looked more of a team than we have in a while. Plenty of positives: clean sheet / Brittain / defensive positions and tracking back / Tronstad excellent / Dolan good and Markanday impressed. The negative for me was Gallagher. Works hard and does lots of good work, but he’s the point of failure in attack time after time. He just looks out of place when we attack. But happy tonight. 4 points from the last 2 is a very good return.
