It’ll be especially painful if that rubbish goal proves to be the winner. Come on, Tomasson had to go

Eustace increasingly looking like a Poundshop Tony Pulis. Poor tactics and performances minus the decent results.

This game was already difficult enough without giving away a soft goal like that. It's unforgiveable. Thing is, where's the equaliser coming from? Eustace has had the best part of 2 weeks to work with this lot. Have to say I can't see any difference

We all know he's the least worst of 2 poor options.

Leicester's defeat gives Ipswich a huge incentive today. If we can avoid defeat we will have done well.

It's a good job Rovers play at Ewood then

Both Mowbray and Tomasson both blew big chances to get in the playoffs. The collapse in form in the latter half of those 2 seasons were similar but it felt worse under Tomasson because we had been in the top 6 right to the very end only to fail at the last hurdle. The game at Preston will wrankle for a very long time. There's a rose tinted view of Tomasson because of his fluent passing game but forgotten also were many dreadful performances when the team did not compete and gave away some of the silliest, softest goals I've ever seen through unnecessary mistakes at the back. I liked Tomasson but he outstayed his welcome and was allowed to continue in post far too long. In the end he had lost interest and was actually damaging the club.

England have a poor record against Brazil and last night was a chance to beat one of the worst Brazil teams I've seen. Their celebrations at the end shows how much it meant to the Brazil players and the coaching staff. I don't think they expected to win. England are destined to fail again this summer. Southgate doesn't have the nous to win a tournament. England will need a foreign coach in order to move forward and finally win some silverware. Their understanding of the game is so superior.

Dear Gareth loses another when faced with top class opposition Nothing changes

A non-statement full of weasal words and little more than a tribute to how wonderful the owners are. It's actually an insult to the intelligence of Rovers fans - at least those who can see through the continuing bullshit coming from the management at Ewood Park. I agree that the "should" word is the most relevant. If the statement had said "we are confident that" there might be cause for optimism but as it stands it provides little reassurance that these problems might be over

Rovers showed what they are capable of against Newcastle and the players have to play every game to the end of the season with the same level of commitment and intensity. Ipswich aren’t a wonder side and they can be ruffled and got at if every Rovers player can reproduce the fight and battling qualities of the FA cup tie. They’ve shown they can do it - do they want it enough to do it again?

I really don’t think it’s unfair at all. He’s a calamity in waiting and his gaffes are one of the reasons we’re in dire trouble. This isn’t a ringing endorsement of Pears just that he’s the better of the two

4-man defence. Which makes a welcome change and Tronstad back to bolster the midfield . About as good as could be expected I suppose

Take them to Huntingdon. They'll love it

Have searched around but can't find any references to Waggott having a former life as a journalist Did find this though - the "Saviour of English football" https://www.express.co.uk/expressyourself/34577/Is-this-man-the-real-saviour-of-English-football

From what I remember Rovers have a good record generally against the north-east teams, particularly away from home (no doubt some statto will correct me) so hopefully this will be the case against Boro. Another point wouldn't be bad and probably the best we can hope for until the likes of Tronstad and Rankin-Costello come back. Eustace will also have had a full week to work with the players so he has no excuses this time on getting his ideas across and putting his playing philosophy into practice. I'm on a good run with predictions having got 4 in a row spot on so I'll go for a 1-1 draw

Szmdics is a late developer and has got better with age but he's now at a stage when his age will be a problem for top clubs and they will not be willing to part with decent (from our point of view) money. I can't see him leaving for more than £5 million and even that might be wishful thinking

To be fair to old Tony, we did have some top loanees in his time. Elliott, Tosin and Harwood-Bellis were top class players. Branthwaite didn't shine but is now highly regarded as a future England player It has to be said the current lot are a poor bunch.

We signed another crock around that time - Martin Britt from West Ham for £25,000 a lot of money then. His cruciate had gone IIRC

Absolutely marvellous But far too long for the Netflix generation Can you do a T20 version?

That's 4 in a row absolutely spot on. Time to take this betting lark seriously

Wouldn’t it be best to post this after/if we’ve won?

Neil Warnock is available again after stepping down at short notice at Aberdeen. It's never too late

Powder puff midfield.

As in, heads Gallagher is useless, tails he's overpaid and useless? Come on
