S Wharton was a liability when he was last in the side. I don’t see any reason to bring him back
-
No reason at all to recall Gallagher and Scott wharton doesn’t deserve to play ahead of Carter

Play-offs - Can we do it? (POLL)
jim mk2 replied to TheRevAshton's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
No from me We’re not quite good enough and too many difficult games - eg likely nul points from the Preston and Burnley matches It’s a project -
Wasn’t Bobby Bell the player who pulled out of a game because he cricked his neck washing his hair?
-
Ken Knighton and Allan Hunter were signed that summer IIRC. Two superb players who would walk into the current team. How did we manage without a “director of football”?
-
Tough end to the season and this on paper at least is one of the “easier” ones. So yes, this is a must win and no excuses or playing well but drawing as at Huddersfield. A scabby 1-0 win is fine
-
Have to say I like the cut of his jib. We need "leaders" on the pitch and his competitive streak and demands for the others to do better marks him out as captain material - possibly better than Travis? Still not sure what his best position is though because he's certainly not a right back

Another pleasant day in the Emerald Isle spoilt by this inept manager and team -
Keith Newton and Ronnie Clayton lived close to us in days gone by. Used to love seeing them pottering about doing the chores
-
Really annoyed about that result. Don’t have any love for Leicester but I’d like Bournemouth and Boscombe Athletic to go down. Their presence along with the likes of Brentford, Brighton etc in the top flight is irksome
-
It’s as good as any. From what I’ve read about yesterday though if the players aren’t motivated and in the wrong frame of mind if doesn’t matter how we line up

Colin has got Huddersfield buzzing. My goodness what a good manager he still is even well into his 70s. Twice in the past decade we had the chance to hire him and we flunked it both times - poor decisions that made no sense and with his record possibly cost us promotion. Although Rovers have a history of pulling out unexpected victories it is difficult to see anything other than another defeat -

Glad to be away at the weekend and enjoying some Irish hospitality than having to endure today. To judge from the comments on here, and if we continue in this slump and looking at the remaining games we might not get another point this season. -

Fucking useless and so predictable. Sitting here in a beautiful restaurant in Dublin. Thanks for spoiling my day -
Bonkers post 1 Leicester and West Ham might not be PL clubs very soon 2 Both of them would be stark staring mad to appoint him anyway given his rubbish track record as a manager 3 West Ham fans despise him because he deserted them for Chelsea as a young player
-
Bournemouth, Southampton and West Ham would be the perfect trio to go down and replaced by 3 northern clubs. I think Leicester have had it though. They looked like a relegation side against us
-
I hope Reading go down - I've been 4 times and we've lost every time. Plus, Paul Ince is the manager, and we all remember his glorious reign at Ewood Disagree about parking at Reading though. There's some business units just a 5 minute walk from the ground which have free parking on match days - alot of Reading fans go there. And Reading is always a place where you can just turn up and pay. But I won't miss going there
-
It's not looking good for Adam Wharton He may be talented but if his attitude is all wrong and he doesn't apply himself then he won't have a career and ultimately Rovers will let him go. Maybe he doesn't like Tomasson and they don't get on. Scott Wharton's form has gone right off as well so maybe both brothers have problems with the manager. Who knows? Either way, his parents should be telling him to knuckle down and work hard; otherwise we could have another David Bradford on our hands, another talent who never filled his potential

I found myself sitting next to Edun's family at the Coventry away match and had a chat with his dad (nice chap). He said Edun's favourite position is left midfield and that's where he's played most of his career including for the England age groups. Sadly, it doesn't look like he has a future at Rovers. -
Potter to Leicester; would be a good for both. He was a poor appointment by Chelsea though
-
Leicester job up for grabs and there's a strong chance the West Ham and Chelsea jobs and maybe others will also be on offer at the end of the season too. I can't think who Leicester will get to keep them up in the short term but looking ahead it could be Potter to Leicester (middling club perfect for him); Rodgers to West Ham (he's a "name" and his teams play decent football which will keep the Cockneys happy; and Chelsea to spin the wheel and look abroad again
-
Garrett might develop into a decent player but he isn't going to get us over the promotion line at this stage of his career but someone like O'Brien who's been there and done it might have. That's the difference between staying down and going up.

Gallagher hasn't got the predator / striker's instinct to be in the right place at the right time. Aguero, Fowler, Gerd Muller had it at the top end of the game; the likes of Billy Sharpe lower down. Simon Garner was much the same. Some are born with it and it comes naturally and others get better at it by working at their game. Gallagher has none of the former and doesn't appear to do the latter -
Third / fourth division southern clubs. Hit the switch button .

Leicester looked relegation candidates when we played them in the FA Cup. Rodgers hadn't done his homework on us and how we play which indicates he's lazy or had already given up. No doubt he'll get another PL job eventually but his reputation is damaged because Leicester have some very decent players and if he had anything about him they wouldn't be struggling near the bottom Three southern teams, Southampton, Bournemouth and West Ham or Crystal Palace would be my picks to go down
