Ok, he's not a fraud, he's just proving to be a poor championship manager, better? "But we're 3rd", I hear you cry, well yes we are, for the time being. This is looking increasingly like a false position, unfortunately. He sets the team up poorly, we have no shape, we concede possession cheaply and often in dangerous areas, we create very little meaningful attacks and our players are slow and second to most balls. The journey, or whatever we are labelling it as these days, seems to be regressing at an alarming rate, torn to shreds by our 2 local rivals, shipping 7 goals and barely laying a glove on either one. He needs to change his ideas quickly or we are going to slide a long way down this table. But yeah, apart from that, he's fine.

Because he's in the managers position but he's not a good manager 🤷🏻‍♂️

Has the fraud of a manager spoken to the media yet?

Yep, this is proper relegation stuff. Can't make passes, defensively all over the place, zero attacking threat, players look slow & uninterested.

Yeah... JDTout

Abysmal stuff.

Get in Dack!

JDT is the one that is setting up the team to play out from the back, suicidal football.

Yeah, that's me done. JDT is an embarrassment of a manager.

45mins for JDT to convince me he has something to offer as a manager.

As usual Sky have trotted out the "JDT wants to add value to players" line. This shouldn't be the number one aim, we should be looking to win football matches and the players value will go up as a result. Fucking irritating.

Not that it takes much but being tactically being outdone again. This playing out from the back just plays into the hands of the opposition, we can't do it. At one point, we had everyone penned back into our own half.

Playing out from the back is the new Gallagher on the wing. Doesn't work, hugely frustrating and the manager keeps doing it.

Getting pummeled at home by Preston. This is embarrassing. I'm not on board with whatever JDT is trying to achieve here.

This is utterly abysmal

Friedel for sure has to be one of the most underrated players the PL has ever had. Not only was he a brilliant keeper but practically an ever present.

We're still getting the piss ripped out of us by Dingles on twitter. What a time to put in a complete no show 🤦‍♂️

JDT previously suggested that this break will provide a good chance to improve on things, and that we should resemble more of the team that he is trying to build once we get back. Based on how we are going into the break, it feels like there is an awful lot to be done.

Stayed too deep? Couldn't come forwards? Careless with your balls?

Which is fine but then, why keep trying it, when we don't have the midfield to pull it off? Like today, it just causes problems for ourselves.

This is a great point. Man City/prime Barca aside, does playing it out from the back yeild any actual benefits for a team? As you say, for us, it nearly always ends in disaster. In any case, it certainly doesn't benefit Blackburn Rovers, which is all we care about.

He didn't look very quick when he was being constantly rinsed by Dingle attackers.

I heard the commentators say this. It's probably the worst comment I've heard in a football match for ages.

We better be getting an apology for this utter shambolic performance. Utterly pathetic

That's twice we've not been given a blatent corner. Not that it'll make any difference
