Really don't give a shit how we get there....

We've had some belting players and achieved jack shit..  If we get into the play-off's I'm a happy man..  

Premier League, what's even the point? For me, I've seen us there playing United, Arsenal etc on a regular (as most of us have) so it's not a massive deal... I imagine for younger fans it's a bit of a novelty..   For those fans, we were cemented in there- you look at Fulham etc.. We were better...  It's nice just to have something to play for isn't it?! 

Whilst I agree, our best chance of realistically seeing the back of the Venky's and their stooges is being in the Prem.

They can pocket some of the TV money and we're a more attractive proposition for a potential buyer.

Also, might be a shiniest dog egg competition but Toth is the better keeper. 

I'm just not as scared of him chucking one into the back of the net or whatever in the way I am even when pears is playing 'well'

He's miles better.

Its not a coincidence that the form immediately turned around once we'd dropped Calamity.

4 wins in a row and a point off the top 6, going into the final game.

Literally none of us expected that a couple of weeks ago.

Yeah, right.

Tronstad is excellent and deservedly our POTS.

You just have to accept defeat on this one.

Everybody other than you isn't wrong; he's a superb part of our squad.

Cantwell is ace.

What a goal that is.

Started with a Cantwell interception, finished by Cantwell.

Even if we draw today, we have an outside chance on the last day.

Win today and it very much goes down the last day.

Agree - the watchalong was good, enjoyed the team's input and feedback.
Saved me throwing my Mac against the wall.

It's clear from some of his comments that he reads things on forums such as this.

So hopefully he's seeing how much of an arrogant bell-end he's made himself look.

This ballbag can't become the next CEO.

I mean, we thought Waggott was (is) bad, this would be next-level.

We can't allow it to happen.

Nothing against Mowbray as a human being as I have nothing against Steve kean as a human being 

Seriously?

The lying, alcoholic convicted criminal almost single-handedly put us on the track to shiteness; a path we may never recover from.

All whilst smirking and taking digs at the fans.
He was caught drink-driving and literally tried to blame the fans.

There's a reason why he's hid on the other side of the world for the majority of the time since he left us.

I genuinely hope that he dares to show his ratty little face around Blackburn one day.

In short, not a fan.

Just looking at the player ratings...not a fan of Foreshaw, however thought he played really well.. surprised he wasn't around a 7 at least.. likewise I couldn't separate Woodrow and Ohashi.. However Woodrow at least got an assist.. Funny old game is football..

Thought the same, just did my own ratings.

Wasn't a fan of Woodrow playing, but he did ok - and got the assist.

Forshaw was actually very decent today.

Toth still looks incredibly suspect.

2 clean sheets (away at Sunderland and Luton) and 1 conceded in 3 games.

I'll take 'incredibly suspect'.

Even moreso when you consider the alternative.

Not a pretty first half, but we've been solid enough and took the one good chance of the game.

Good finish from Dolan and, in fairness, Woodrow hasn't been horrible.

Still, all too little too late. Just an extra win or couple of draws in that horrific run and we'd be in the mix.

How did Toth play yesterday? 

Any better on crosses?

He had a good game - positioning and distribution in particular were levels above his predecessor.

Crosses fine from memory, don't recall any specific issues.

Good performance and result.
Thought we were aggressive and created lots of chances.

Dolan was good, Tronstad and Brittain obviously very good.
Toth so much better than Calamity - just his positioning and distribution alone are superior to the former.

Shame we couldn't do this one or twice in the last 10-12 games, or we'd still very much be in the race for the play off positions. 

Very decent first half, Brittain has been excellent going forward for us.

If he had someone better than Hedges down that left side, we'd look even better.

Happy for Tronstad.

Great news no Pears, you'd like to think he's played his last game for us.

Shame we have none of the kids on the bench, would have been nice to see a Tyjon or a Dunn get some minutes.

Pears isnt going to Man United. 

I only remember one shot on target near the end straight at him. Pears would have also kept a clean sheet, a mixture of 

Pears is really poor but Toth has not shown enough to suggest that he is "several levels better." He has only played 4 games, against Boro he was fairly untested although did set them up for one chance with a terrible kick, yesterday again fairly untested but did nearly concede by charging out and totally missing the ball on a few occasions, and in the other 2 games v Wolves and Coventry he made terrible mistakes that led to goals.

But in argument: he's not Aynsley Pears.

We faced 3 shots on target yesterday - there is literally zero chance that Pears saves all 3.

And that's not counting the 'fingertip save' onto the underside of the bar, as claimed by the Rovers social media team.

Personally I'd stick Michalski in and let him finish the season for us, but Toth is several levels better than Pears, so it's better than sticking with Calamity.

Hopefully he's played his last game for us.

Toth was abysmal. Missed the ball every time he went for it.

Jesus, has the lad shagged your wife or something?

Flapped at a couple, but had safe hands otherwise - came for a few crosses that Pears wouldn't have had a clue how to handle.

Save at the death was good also.

A thousand times better than Calamity.

Pears out / Toth in, win and a clean sheet away from home.

Thought we defended well, Yuki took his goal well.

Luton are absolutely shite.

The fact the opposition haven't mustered an effort on target might have something to do with it too.

Lol.

Literally speaking, correct.

But Pears has been (rightly) targeted as the weak point in our side by most opposition this season - and it's paid off for them (early goals / etc).

We finally drop Calamity Pears (injury my arse) and we don't concede in the first few minutes.

In fact, a clean sheet at HT.

Almost like it's a coincidence.

Does anyone actually give any credence to anything that joker Nixon says?

I genuinely refuse to believe that either Toth or Michalski would be performing worse than Pears.

He's consistently atrocious, costs us goals/games and is - understandably so - targeted by opposition as our weak point in the team.

Persevering with him, when he's so detrimental to the team, is mind boggling.
