JRC has to hit the target....

Trying to walk it the net...... please shoot

0-0 half time. It's difficult to see us scoring.

Rubbish from Dolan... caused a big problem now

Where is a Rovers goal coming from?

We keep aiming balls at their centre half who is always standing alone and just sends the ball back Why?

Dolan final pass......eurgh.

Coventry fans were a menace on this site both times after we were relegated from the Premier League. I don't know what it is about them - they seem to dislike us.

You don't want to go down that rabbit hole. It was a bad idea in the 1960s and it's a bad idea now. It would never work. We're lucky to live in an area where, because of football history, there are so many football league clubs.

Same with Rovers away fans, constant anti-Burnley chants. It's boorish and boring, and certainly isn't healthy

Bad sporting night. First the devastating result from Ewood and then I watched the Boston Red Sox get hammered at home by the Minnesota Twins. The baseball fans at Fenway Park were not happy but at least the beer and the burgers were good 😊 Realistically you have to say the playoffs are gone now. We don’t score enough goals and if we can’t hang on to a one goal lead against Coventry we certainly won’t against fired up local rivals in Lancashire derbies.

A “project” in other words. I didn’t have you down as a dewy eyed , blue and white spangled, happy clapping chaddy chum, 47er.

This is 1966.-1967 all over again and another season defining match against Coventry. I think if we fail to win tonight the playoffs are gone. It’s as simple as that. The remaining games are too difficult and already fragile confidence will be shot Rovers 0 Coventry 1

Shame he didn’t look after his body better - he would still be leading the Rovers forward line even at 37. Unlike his successors at Ewood he was a proper centre forward.

In the old days we had a manager, a trainer, a scout and a secretary. Seemed to work quite well. These job creation schemes with high faluting titles are in large part a waste of money

The bookies also had Rovers favourites for the 1960 Cup final. If you think we’re favourites to beat Coventry I wouldn’t bet the farm if I were you

Home or away on form we are definitely not favourites

If we finish 7th or 8th - a failure surely after our elevated position all season. - the apologists for the Ewood management will soon shrug it off as a “project”.

I’m really teed off at Bournemouth’s revival. Nothing southern clubs like them and Brentford do not belong in the PL. There’s also too many London clubs in the PL Southampton and Leicester are down IMO. I thought Leicester were very poor when we beat them and they were around mid table at the time. The appointment of Dean Smith shows they’ve given up Forest look the most vulnerable for the last place. I’d rather they stayed up than the likes of West Ham etc but Cooper looks out of his depth at this level.

The Coventry away match was one of the worst Rovers experiences in decades of supporting and there’s been a fair few of those this season. Their supporters didn’t expect to win and were surprised at how poor we were. Will it be any different this time ? Unlikely. This fixture also has echoes of 1966-67 when Coventry shaded a crunch match at Ewood late in the season that effectively ended our promotion hopes. Not a good omen

Tomasson does not want it. This season has come too soon in the project.

Big boost for Rovers this result …,, now watch us fail to take advantage tomorrow

Good old Tone. Always looking for a problem that didn’t need solving

Ryan Giles playing well for Boro - only the great Tony Mowbray will know why we didn’t sign him. Lenihan instrumental too.

Come on Bonny Boro. The rain might win this match though
