From the position we were in, 2nd place, and with a fair wind, in with a chance of challenging for the top, failure to qualify for the play-offs would see most managers sacked But the same has been said of Tony many times over the past 5 years so unless he decides he's had enough and resigns he'll still be here next season. My feeling is he will carry on - football is a drug and he loves the rush of it. Like Hodgson, Wenger etc some of them cannot let go

Lots of people complaining about some of the Fulham "dirty" players and the antics of the likes of the Mitrovic and the pony tailed centre half in particular but the match provided another example of how Rovers get bullied out of games. Our pygmy lightweight forward line that started the match was a joke - the Fulham defenders must have looked at Dolan and Khadra and Giles are been sniggering to themselves. Tosin played most of the match barely having to break sweat We've needed some tougher nuts in the team for some while, forwards who will rough up the centre halves and midfield players who will put their foot in when needed. We're far too "nice"

Highly unlikely we won’t lose at least one. Millwall in midweek is a possibility - they’re on a good run and can overtake us on our present form. Bournemouth and QPR lost games yesterday from winning positions. It happens. We might go unbeaten from here but it’s fanciful in my view

Unless Mowbray does something this will be 5-0 and another big dent in our GD

It's been like a training match for Fulham.... they've hardly broken sweat

Giles on the right wing..... someone explain that

Rothwell and Buckley need to come on .... and just hope for the best We've been dire

Fulham 9 Rovers 0 It's too easy Mid table beckons

Kharda's offered nothing and Dolan has been anonymous. As for Giles on the right...... Where's a goal coming from?

Condede first and we usually lose. Could be out of the top 6 by 5pm.

JRC on....... he has to be joking???

Mitrovic knows all the tricks

Giles down the right ??? Tony overthinking it again

Johnson delayed his pass and then made it too short, meaning Nyambe had to check his stride and got clobbered by the defender. If I'd been Nyambe I'd have been fuming I actually like Johnson and though he had a good game against QPR, but he made a mess of that pass and Nyambe paid the price

.... and the rubbish pass that led to Nyambe's in jury

Sheff U 1-0 up, it's getting tighter and a defeat on Saturday and if other results go badly we could be outside the top 6

Huddersfield 2-0 ahead in 13 minutes and in 2nd place as it stands They're the form team

2020 figures Stoke City debt £170m Blackburn Rovers debt £140m So yes, at "only" £140m we're a model of corporate governance

in the early 1980s I saw Michael Holding play for Rishton at Ramsbottom - opened the bowling (he was very fair, always pitching the ball up and no short stuff) and batting at No 5 (he took Rammy's Aussie pro apart). Going back much farther, my grandfather used to love watching West Indies great Learie Constantine (Connie) play for Rammy, dashing home for his tea between innings. Sadly, the Lancs League isn't as strong as it used to be

The European Super League is back - and they want more money https://www.ft.com/content/f2ecab33-14bb-46d5-9d90-c3fbfe7a68fd

We'll miss him tomorrow. I hope ZF doesn't replace him as he's nowhere near as a good a defender and we need to be rock solid at the back to get anything out of this match. Provided the other centre backs are fit I'd play Lenihan in his position

Yes, I was at Craven Cottage that day and Matt Jansen scored a cracker for us IIRC. Saw Ronnie Clayton as we were leaving the ground.

Nyambe will be a big miss for us, ZF just doesn't have the same defensive ability to stop crosses coming in from the left to feed Mitrovic. I'd play Lenihan in his position instead I fancy us to catch Fulham on the break and this is a winnable game if we can keep it tight at the back. Optimism isn't natural when it comes to Rovers though.

Just about the only team Albion haven’t lost to in the recent past is Rovers. That game was 2 points lost for us and another reason why we’ll struggle to make the top 6

Finally, a win and a goal. Well deserved but scoring goals really is a problem and will continue to cost us
