  1. Coventry 1-0 after 3 minutes
  2. The cup runs were welcome and it was good to see Tomasson taking the cups seriously unlike Mowbray Ultimately though, it's another failure, another huge opportunity missed, and possibly worse than last season because even a few short weeks ago we were still odds-on to make the playoffs. Some of us are getting old and are running out of seasons. Rovers have been out of the Premier League for a decade without ever looking like getting back, and it'd be nice if we could get back there before the older generation pop our clogs. I'm fed up with the "progress, optimism, positivity" mantra. Results are needed now. "Next year Rodney we'll all be millionaires" Except next year never comes
  3. Vale plays like he can't be bothered most of the time - I've never seen another player (apart from Butterworth maybe) who looks so disinterested. That's an attitude problem
  4. Even if other results go in our favour, I can't see us getting 6 points from the last 2 games We struggle to score goals and seem incapable of defending narrow leads and are hopeless at chasing a game when we go behind. The already thin squad is down to bare bones because of injuries and poor form - there are players being picked because they're the last man standing in some cases when some should be rested or dropped Tomasson's hands are tied and all he can do is shuffle a weak and depleted pack, and hope for the best After a season that promised so much that's all we're left with
  5. Two games don't make a season but it's the arse end of the season that counts and two moments of madness against Coventry and Preston and 9 months of hard work have likely gone up in smoke.
  6. Rovers won't win at Millwall. They have a goalscoring centre forward and we don't
  7. Milwall playing out time. Are you watching Ryan Hedges? This is another nail in the Rovers promotion coffin. It's all so sad and frustrating
  8. Fair play for sticking it out for so long especially with the dog's abuse you get It's always good to hear the views of a Burnley fan who comes across as a "normal" human being
  9. It's decent 11 players on a pitch with a good manager and a supportive board Burnley have shown how it's done There's no reason why the likes of Sheff Wed, Preston, Bolton and Rovers etc have languished for years while former tinpot clubs have come to the fore
  10. Sheff United are not wonderful but they usually find a way to win. West Brom have been the better team tonight. I think Sheff will struggle next season without spending some serious money. There's a lack of quality in their team.
  11. Luton weren't special when I went to Kenilworth Road but they're tough and pragmatic and they get the job done and win matches. Morris is a big lump up front and you wonder how he became a professional footballer but he scores goals and is a type of player we've lacked since Danny Graham finished. Our only hope is if we somehow manage to score first and hang on grimly by defending properly to the final whistle. If Luton score first we can forget it and might as well go home. On another note if Luton, bleeding, bloody naff Luton Town, reach the Premier League I might officially go mad and need locking up in padded cell. There's enough rubbish southern fourth division clubs in the top flight without another
  12. Coventry's handball equaliser, Preston's ridiculous equaliser and now tonight. Events in the past 3 games, bloody hell has someone at Ewood crossed on the stairs or put new shoes on a table? The team has obvious shortcomings but we have had no luck whatsoever
  13. Don't deserve this and it hurts ..... probable end of our playoff hopes and them winning the Championship
  14. Not bad but no goal threat. Burnley won't mind a point but it's no good for us Change required second half
  15. Dolan out his depth not for the first time
  16. Pound for pound he hasn't been a bad signing. When he's good, he's very good, as in the second half against Preston, but sometimes he disappears and looks awkward and crab-like on the ball. Playing irregularly can;t help him though, and neither can not having a settled position, and he certainly needs to improve his finishing - he missed another sitter in the Leicester cup tie. He looks happiest and most effective on the right wing - I'd certainly play him there instead of Thomas
  17. They were pretty ordinary when I saw us lose at Kenilworth Road, but they know how to win matches
  18. Morton's been playing well recently. Yes, he's a bit lightweight and parts of his game aren't up to scratch yet but he's young and inexperienced and in a year or two when he's filled out and become stronger there is potentially a very good player in there. I can't see him being a Liverpool regular and if we had the chance to sign him at the right price I think we should take it.
  19. Has Tony finally found a cure for nosebleed, a chronic condition of his that afflicted him throughout his tenure at Ewood and caused significant distress for thousands of supporters?
  20. Sunderland 2-1 Tony loves us really
  21. For the first half of the season I had serious doubts about Tomasson. Despite our elevated league position some of the performances, particularly away from home, were some of the worst I've seen. The playing around at the back drove me mad But I have to say in recent months the players have adapted to his methods and although results have fallen away, we've been playing some excellent football at times. Leicester in the cup was one of the most enjoyable experiences in years. Tomasson has made mistakes with some of the teams he's picked and his tactics and substitutions but overall, I think it's fair to say he's done a good job with a very limited squad in terms of numbers and quality. Some players clearly aren't good enough and should have been replaced but he has had to make the best of it We could miss out on the playoffs now - which would be a huge disappointment after being in the top 6 for most of the season - but I hope he stays and is given some decent money to spend in the summer
