There's alot of revisionism on Dolan here. He's a flawed player with an average scoring record and, like all players, is replaceable. I'd rather he stayed but won't be shedding any tears if he goes.

Dolan's upturn in form has coincided very neatly with his contract talks this summer - or is that a cynical view? He's no doubt played well the last few games but dearie me, he's had some real stinkers this season, including a few that I've seen, and I'm sure if you look back on the thread over the course of the season there would have been plenty of fans calling for him to be sold. Have to say I'm ambivalent whether he stays or not but on the basis that he might finally be emerging into a half decent Championship player and is unlikely to be replaced were he to leave, then you have to hope he and the club can come to an agreement.

☹️ That's that then. I'm glad we couldn't get tickets for Bramall Lane now

Manchester City would be the perfect move for Wharton. Guardiola’s precision pass and move game is made for him, though he would have to work a lot harder than he does at present. Pep is a fan and City will be busy in the transfer market this summer so it could happen sooner rather than later

Proud's the wrong word IMO after all the defeats and abject performances this season but yes, it has to be acknowledged we've done well to be in contention from where we were 5 games ago

FT 2-1. Amazingly, after all the defeats and disappointments and upheaval, it goes to the last game

I'd give POTS to Brittain, but Tronsted certainly in the running

And there it is..... easy win game apparently

We went to the game at Vicarage Road which Rovers were unlucky to lose to a soft penalty (handball against Hedges IIRC) so it will be interesting to see how we go. Watford were unimpressive in that game and with confidence recovering after 3 successive wins we ought to win hopefully to keep us in outside playoff contention to the final game. Let’s be optimistic Rovers 2 Watford 0

Farewell and thank you for the memories Mick McGrath, an old-fashioned left half and key member of the Rovers team of 1962-64, the best I ever saw to wear the famous blue and while halves. Like Den said, it was a privilege to watch that team RIP.

Tronstad's 2nd goal and Rovers' 4th was technically brilliant. Anyone's who played the game will tell you it's very difficult to get a good first-time connection on the ball with the right foot to a pass or cross coming in from the right (same applies to the left). Tronstad did it perfectly with an excellent strike Totally unexpected performance and win today, especially by that margin against a form team. Has Ismael finally got to grips with this team (and vice versa)? Let's hope so.

Brentford and Bournemouth as established top flight clubs - who would have thought that 60 or even the more recent past? They were bog standard fourth division clubs when I were a lad. Hats off to them but it just shows what brilliant management and organisation can do and why Rovers fans should never accept our fate as a "small town" club. Same for Burnley too - it pains us to say it but they are a very well run club. Meanwhile the agony goes on at Ewood. It was good to hear the Venky's Out and anti-Waggott songs at Kenilworth Road on Saturday but supporters need to keep up the pressure on Friday and every match to the end of the season.

Millwall need to win and will be coming to attack - which gives us a chance as our best chance of scoring goals is on the breakaway. If Millwall go ahead I would suggest that will be it - we just don't have the quality or the skill to unlock packed defences.

Loyalties split because I wanted them both to win. Rose should have won so much more in his career - that's 3 Masters runners-up now plus one at the Open. Amid all the accolades for McIlroy Rose's 66 yesterday was a brilliant round. Good to see the Europeans at the top of the leaderboard in Ryder Cup year

Mentioned it last night but would like to highlight again the huge shift that Dolan put in. He's not my favourite player and I've seen him have some real stinkers but he worked his socks off to plug the gap after Montgomerie's sending off. He should have passed to Gueye in the breakaway though - and that's why he will always be a flawed player. Talking of Gueye I thought his body language was poor and he looked like he was sulking for not being in the starting XI. He had his own selfish moment too when he did 2 or 3 stepovers and shot for goal when he should have passed to Rovers players in better positions. Obviously a pleasing result and it was well deserved but, oh dear, we're still a very hard team to watch and it's also important to remember we were only the width of the woodwork away from a 2-1 defeat

Tronstad was in front of me at pitch level 5 yards away leading the celebrations so I missed him - as I said. But you weren't at the match but you did see him. So there it is. I'm just relieved our group has broken this season's hoodoo. Odd feeling walking away from a match having won.

I was looking for the manager to see if he was celebrating with the players but couldn’t spot him. Might be wrong though but wouldn’t bd surprised if he just walked off. Seems a cold fish

The curse finally lifted at the 14th attempt. Scrappy game and a bit of luck required but Rovers deserved it with the one moment of quality. Hyam and Baath stood out and Dolan put in a big shift to provide cover after the sending off. Toth is as weak and flappy as Wahlstedt - if Luton go down could we try and get Kaminski back? Big kudos to the Rovers faithful they never stopped singing all afternoon. And yes, Luton is a s….hole

Decided to go to this one - yet to see Rovers win this season but that doesn’t matter because Rovers don’t win football matches any more

Coar is probably the only remaining link between the Walker era and Venky's. He's see the 30 years of success, change and upheaval and decline, and presumably would have some interesting views. Have Glen and his group spoken to him?

Rovers are drawing at home. How rubbish must Sheffield Wednesday be?

Did our bit 50 years ago. Over to you

The club is imploding. If fans don’t get on the pitch now to protest they never will

Blimey, reading this thread all the way through what a nest of vipers Ewood Park has become. Many organisations have snakes like Lowe, hanging on for years despite constant change yet seemingly untouchable. Now it has all become clear. The whole lot needs clearing out and resetting with a clean slate. Well done to Glen & co for shining a light on these people and forcing them into the open. Hopefully this is the beginning of the end of this dreadful regime that has destroyed our great club

So where are the protests - another damp squib? Years ago fans would have been going berserk at a manager with Ismael's record since he came in.
