Good to see JRC and Gally back, yes the latter gets some pelters but jesus the squad is in bits when you look at what we’ve had this last month. 
Nobody can argue that the two of them make us stronger than what we’ve had in December 

Without sounding like a massive aftertimer (it will though)…I’ve never really bought into the Hyam hype that he gets from Rovers fans. 
Weak as piss, not vocal, doesn’t seem like a leader (could be wrong), absolutely horrendous at dealing with anything slung into the box or if it gets scrappy in the box.

Having said all that, we didn’t particularly look any better at the back when he was out, and it can’t be easy with whatever you want to call the person in the nets (he’s certainly not a goalkeeper) behind you. 

Playing for safety now and I guess the hope of an FA Cup run if we continue to get lower league opponents. 

A league 2 side at home to get to the L16 of the FA Cup. Win this (and let's be honest we'll be odds on favourites), then we're 1 game away from the FA Cup Quarter Finals and 2 games away from finally having a trip to the new Wembley (not that the semi-finals should be there).

Let's have them!

Heard Leonard off to Oxford on loan tomorrow 

Madness if they’re thinking Ennis or The German part-timer are better options. 
We’re run by complete incompetents

Agreed , it like people have forgotten he led us to our best finish in the table since relegation last season and for parts of this season sat in the top 10 and not far away from the playoffs at all.Even though we finished 7th in the championship last season his tactics will never work in this league apparently 

Even weirder the most critical toward JDT are the ones who say our squad is shit and predicted relegation/relegation battle before the season started.

Even have posters now saying he can't complain about the lack of experience as he gave the ok for Travis moving out, disregarding Travis asked to leave and he isn't as good as A Wharton and Tronstad.

Agree, he deserves a proper chance but he’ll never get that under Venkys unfortunately, and it’s grim to see the lack of backing he’s had from the rest of the muppets in Ewood/India

Add to the above some proper cup runs and the closest we’ve got to Wembley since the morons turned up

Disappointed JDT took Telalovic off at half time cos he had 2 decent opportunities to score today. Felt he would score inn the second half. 

 

Looks like he could play until Christmas and still not score. 

He’s clearly the best option out of himself, Telalovic and Ennis (not that that’s much of a statement)

He tells it at face value, but it just feels like such a weird thing for our social media team to be sending out. 

It all seems so disjointed, we'll never get a decent bid for him in the future after saying that.

Wharton and Szmodics,our only saleable assets...watch this space.

I thought The Eggs job was to “increase squad value” or some shite like that. 
Not the best look when your main assets are academy lads (and Szmodics).

We have Jack and the academy he built to thank that we can even muster a team together these days!

Club is finished until there is a complete overhaul at the top.

Still an agent's playground. Winning means nothing to the tossers above the manager. JDT should walk. The right man in the wrong era and environment. He is working with crap, being given buttons, and expected to pull off miracles.

I can only apologise, Jon. This isn't the real Blackburn Rovers you are dealing with. The people above you are not ours. I do not claim any of those bastards as representatives of this fantastic club.

Venky's, Waggott, Silvester, Gregg and the rest alongside you. Bollocks to the lot of you. You deserve relegation. Sadly, it is us, the players and the manager who will be left hurting by it.

Here here - the day will come when they fuck off eventually.

Broughton has signed three centre forwards during his time here (Hirst, Telaovic & Ennis) in a combined 30 appearances they have not been able to muster a single league goal between them. The man is clueless.

That’s atrocious.

Feels strange typing this but I can’t wait for Gallagher to get back into the side, and I’d put him down the right wing. Moran and Markanday have offered nothing in all the matches I’ve seen. 

Someone said it on another thread a few weeks ago…..the longer Gallagher is out for, the more we start thinking he’s Ronaldo. 
Regardless, he’s an upgrade on anything we have available right now. 

Greg Broughton is so far out of his depth it’s laughable 

Comedy goalkeeper 

Great finish by Siggy. Quick reaction, hopefully see some more of that.

We’ve started like we did a month or so ago, fast and not allowing the opposition time on the ball. 
Let’s kick on and have a big result. 

What I’d give to see us put a performance in like Luton have today. Superb fitness, fight and determination.

Some folk are too quick to judge - he's not had any real game time before today, other than in the reserves.

I've said since he joined (based on his goal record at lower levels), he knows where the goal is. If he plays a run of games, he'll score goals.

Based on the REGIONAL 4th tier of German football this guy really knows where the net is. 
So does Tony, the plumber who plays part time for Chorley at the same level this lad has only ever scored a goal at.

I reckon he's going to be quality. 

He needs to learn to catch though and confidence will help him cut out the schoolboy errors.

Not sure if it’s satire or not. Looks like he has his left glove on his right and his right on his left from what I’ve seen. Hopeless

Ipswich now getting some injuries..... think they will struggle....

Would fucking love to be in that struggle right now 

Only Rotherham have conceded more than us this season. That is pretty bad….and guess who comes to Ewood on NYD

There will be about 8k on for some of the mid-week matches in 2024. 
 

VENKYS OUT

Summing up that we have no leaders on our pitch….

Jake Garrett, a young academy lad, eager no doubt, but not someone I’d describe as creative, decides he’s going to take a free kick from 30 odd yards out and have a go at goal. 

How is this allowed. it’s such low percentage, poor decision making, no leaders or authority in our shirts 

The frustrating thing is we need a complete overhaul on the park but Venkys won’t give us a pot to piss in, and when they throw us a fiver we have Broughton picking out a keeper with biscuit fingers, a crock of a striker who couldnt control a bag of cement and a German non-leaguer who looks lost. 

We’re only going in one direction, and it’s bleak. Venkys, Waggot, spineless players, -8 GD. There isn’t much to like at this club right now. 

Never want to see Callum Brittain in our shirt again. Offers absolutely nothing and is weak as piss when it actually matters. Pathetic.
