Tomasson has given up IMO. He’s taken this lot as far as he can. Wahlstedt has been a terrible signing. £800,000 down the drain

Remember him having more good games than bad. Better player than Moran

Morton is a good player. Unfairly criticised when he was with us

The absence of Hill is mystifying. Best defender in the squad Come on Ennis and Sigurdsson - what can you do?

Ok, say Rovers somehow got promoted this season, or won the FA Cup. How would you describe Tomasson’s work then? You can’t say it’s brilliant because you’ve already said he’s doing a brilliant job having us in mid table The problem with using superlatives such as brilliant to describe something that’s very ordinary is that you’ve no word to use to describe genuine brilliance.

Too many poor results to be doing a "brilliant" job. He's doing a good job, nothing more.

Money badly spent as it stands. A keeper who makes brilliant saves one minutes but then lets in soft goals the next is no use to anyone.

Lightweight is a good word; soft is another.

Tomasson's still got it all to prove, flexibility and more pragmatism on tactics, knuckling down when it gets tough, closing out matches. Knowing how to win when not playing well. It's not all about the beautiful game, the stuff you can't buy and is not the fault of the owners

The amount of anti Tomasson feeling at Ewood isn’t surprising when you consider how many games we’ve lost. Most fans don’t travel away and the home form has been poor - fans are fed up seeing defeat after defeat. There’s a middle ground. Just as fans calling for him to go is over the top so is the love in with Tomasson on here. The reality is he’s a good manager doing a good job in difficult circumstances but is not quite the second coming some fans believe him to be.

Any schoolboy would tell you it’s not all about money. Back to dot No 1 I’m afraid…

To confirm ….. the owners did not sign some of the poor players we’ve taken on in recent years. That’s down to the managers and directors of football. That’s where equal responsibility lies

And rubbish goalkeepers

Wahlstedt was cheap and he shows it. Another costly mistake to add to all the others. We’ve had some poor keepers on recent years and he’s another to add to the list. How many points have Pears and this guy thrown away between them?

Just because he’s free doesn’t mean we should sign him. I’m not convinced by this player at all and today was another case in point.

Classic Rovers. Bigger crowd, much excitement, early goal, then blow it. Seen it so many times before. The season is rapidly going downhill.

That’s an odd lineup. Lots of square pegs in round holes. Why is Hill on the bench? I’d be surprised if we get anything out of this but who knows. Time for Ennis to step and show what he can do

Make that 1960s. Plenty of red and white scarves heading off from Blackburn bus/rail station red to Manchester on a Saturday

Fantastic effort and well done to all involved to get a bumper crowd in today. Let’s hope the team don’t let them down. Any sort of win will do Talking of support from outside BwD in premier league days we had a substantial support on the Fylde I know a few people from that area who were regulars at Ewood. We also had slot of fans coming in from the Furness/Lakes area. I don’t know whether that’s still the case.

At the risk of sounding like a Luddite I normally buy tickets for away matches by ringing up and having them sent out by post. Is that option now discontinued?

Lots of parallels with the rail industry RMT union leader Mick Lynch and disability and passenger groups led a successful campaign against the rail ticket office closures, forcing the government to tell the train operators to withdraw their proposals Ministers are preparing to allow private train companies in England to make greater profits if they succeed in boosting passenger numbers . In other words, give Maggott an incentive to get more bums on seats at Ewood and it might make him think and work a bit harder and boost his £300k salary

As above

Mike Graham is on this thread - he replied to a post of mine denying there would be staff cuts

Taking the "reduce the club’s carbon footprint and help tackle climate change" to its logical conclusion then Ewood Park should be closed to all supporters because cars and buses and trains carrying fans to matches are polluting the planet. Perhaps that is the long term plan. Shut Ewood and sell the stadium and land off, play matches at Brockhall (or Pleasington) and televise games into homes on pay per view. The club saves millions and management rake it in Brian Clough predicted years ago that football would in the end be played behind closed doors because television would kill off live support. He was wrong about that but maybe the corporate types are having another go via a different route.

Keep saying it but this is similar to the government's railway ticket office closure plan (since abandoned after protests). They don't mind losing customers (passengers) if they can make more money out of the existing ones by cutting costs. This is so wrong on so many levels and another own goal by the club.
