He’s played less than 200 minutes across half a season. Doesn’t even make their squad half the time. He might come in handy in league 1 mind you. We can do better in the Championship though (see Trondstad)

I know it's a 46 game season and you could argue the 5-1 victory vs Sunderland as much as this...but...if we had only lost to Bristol City by 1 goal rather than 5-0, then Birmingham would have needed a 5 goal swing against us this weekend. We could lose to Leicester by 2 and Birmingham would have to win by 3 vs Norwich. That match really does hang like a black cloud now!

We are going down (the pessimism thread)

Yes it looks like odds on Leicester have drifted after sealing the title last night. Amazingly they're 1.71-1.72 to win on the Exchange, which equates to 8/11 in old money - i.e only 58% chance of beating us! It's a very tricky thing to price up though given 'motivation' etc. If this was earlier in the season it would have been considerably shorter, e.g. Leeds were 1/3 to beat us a few weeks ago (75% chance), which is probably what we would have seen Saturday too. Personally, I think 8/11 is a bet, they're still going for 100 points and we know how soft our lot are. There is no chance someone like Vardy will be taking it easy just because the title is already wrapped up. -

It's not bookies getting it wrong necessarily, statistically 18/1 (~23/1 without bookmaker margin) still has a 4%-5% chance of happening. It isn't 'that' unlikely. Leicester was a freak result, Diaz was priced incorrectly and was wrong. Swags season ticket sales could be at a record high in League 1 if everyone has £20 on it 😄 (might have to be £25 with his pricing structure!) -

Probability of each individual permutation below. 4.4% chance of relegation. You’re saying it’s 1/20 for Leicester to beat us (95% chance) when they’re actually about 8/13 (62% chance) But you are correct that the likelihood of relegation (4.4%) is higher than the 2 in 81 if all results were equally likely. -
Somebody mentioned on another thread that there are 81 permutations of results between ourselves, Sheff Wed, Plymouth and Birmingham this weekend and only 2 of them will relegate us (LWWW, LDWW). Monday morning procrastination led me to offer the visualisation. 4.4% chance of happening, around 23/1 100% price. Nothing would be more Rovers than to drag this onto the final game of the season, and end up with the largest relegation points total since.....Rovers last time. I'm holding hope onto Hull really.

Struggling to see why they have a Seniors and U23s section on there (obviously the core of the offer is good) -
v Coventry City (h) - 27/4/24
superniko replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
We had a very short period where we had a manager who would question the status quo. Publicly call out false promises and try to hold those responsible to account. Those on the gravy train (almost everyone high up at Rovers), are obviously delighted with the current predicament of yes man with no talent, skill, CV, evidence of success, evidence of decent football, evidence of wanting to know our town, region or club churning away shit performances along as it keeps all those guys out the limelight. Of course Waggott prefers this than JDT mocking his lies about our leased coach/bus. Of course the shadow man prefers this to JDT saying budgets have been cut and he was fed lies etc. Just all topping up their pensions with no shits given to Rovers. When we beat Leeds Eustsces celebrations were straight to the box behind him (lots of managers do that in fairness). But, If anyone cared for the club they’d be to fans / players / staff not to your boss. -
If (IF) we do fail against Coventry, then we’ll be cheering on Hull vs Ipswich at 8pm for various reasons: - Likely means Leicester have the league wrapped up before our match and they may rotate / not try as hard - Hull still competing with Norwich for 6th meaning they’ll be going for a result vs Plymouth and also Norwich have to get a result vs Birmingham. - Added bonus that Ipswich will still likely pip Leeds even if they do lose to Hull

Sort of feels like they’ve gone the opposite way to us in terms of manager too Ainsworth into Cifuentes vs JDT into Eustace
