3-0 Andy King.....

[Mike Graham]

3 nowt to Leicester against a side that has "given up" (Radio 5)

[broadsword]

Perhaps the blue-sky Rovers Fans will now concede that we won't be figuring in the play-off final this year.

What's more, I have serious doubts we'll be spending significant sums this summer, and even if we did, Appleton does not inspire confidence that we'll get the right players, or that he is a good enough manager to get us out of this mess.

Only question for me now is ... when will Venky's bail?

[neophox]

We're so poor....embarrasing...

[jim mk2]

Appleton the one-trick defensive pony has lost his only trick.

[Mike Graham]

Appleton the one-trick defensive pony has lost his only trick.

One dimensional manager

[JAL]

Only ONE goal scored.... in FOUR games.

Ladies and Gents we have a big problem here at Ewood.

[neophox]

Also, all who said we have sorted the defence....we were shambles today....Three headed goals...shambles...

Possibly, sooner than many may think !

[G Somerset Rover]

'Blackburn didn't even compete tonight'. I thought competing was THE trait of Appleton's teams?

Dark clouds on the horizon me thinks.

[DE.]

Let's see how honest Appleton is after this defeat. I don't want to hear about injuries, this performance is not about injuries. I would have accepted a defeat if the players had put in the effort, but this is as bad as any performance under Henning Berg.

I want him to justify the pathetic attitude of the players, and his selection of the overrated sack of crap calling itself Danny Murphy.

[Cherry Blue]

"they have not even put up a fight"

MA please explain!!

[neophox]

We can't score or create chanes...BIG PROBLEM....thought we played better under Bowyer...

[DavidMailsTightPerm]

MA has to take some blame IMO three matches where his tactics have been wrong - at the moment he seems a one trick pony as a manage. As play offs look extremely unlikely - may as well start preparation for next season.

[neophox]

No fight, no heart....really poor and disappointing for all those 300 who made the trip.

No we're off the playoffs

[G Somerset Rover]

DE - obviously I wasn't there but sounds much worse than anything served up under Berg! Not one chance created and not one ounce of fight from any Rovers player! Unnaceptable.

[Tom]

Can't we just end the season now?

Clearly going through the motions now, summer can't come soon enough

[jim mk2]

Another Hull-type performance and will probably be the game that ends our hopes of making the play-offs. Leicester 2-0.

One goal out but the performance sounds the same.

[neophox]

3-0 is with 1-4 loss against Cardiff our biggest defeats....Appleton will feel the pressure.

[Mike Graham]

For many fans the season has finished Tom.

[K-Hod]

No goals in last 3, so the starting with a clean sheet and going from there has obviously stopped working....

[neophox]

Tom: Are you happy with this?

[yoda's brother]

appy out

[McClarky]

Surely we have grounds for complaint about the 3rd goal. BBC text commentary reports it as being scored 35 seconds after the final whistle.

To put it into perspective, Wage bill of starting 11 tonight probably close to £15million per annum !

A feckin disgrace.
