[Archived] Brighton Away 22Nd August

[onlyonejackwalker]

Just to put some perspective on things, I just read that 7 people died in the air show accident before kick off. Awful.

Correct. Let's hope our fans get home safely. Horrific. RIP and condolences to all involved.

There's some right old tosh in this division.

We're very much part of that tosh I'm afraid.

[Damien]

Not suprised we lost. That old clean sheet thing yet again. Drives me mad. It's hard enough at pro-level without constantly chasing games.

It's been tough being a Rovers fan the last five years. One day I hope the club and it's supporters can unite again. I still don't think we will go down whoever comes or goes. There's some right old tosh in this division.

We can't rely on other teams to help us out! We need to be in charge of our own destiny!

Reports on Fb of Rovers fans fighting amongst themselves.

Allegedly "just get behind the team FFS" was the catalyst.

Could be tosh mind.

@LouisWatson_: Most boring team I've ever seen at the Amex. Feel sorry for Blackburn fans that burnt my eyes 😂 #hooofff That is a tweet from a Brighton fan, doesn't surprise me. If we don't beat bolton at home on Friday then I can see bowyer getting a tonne of abuse.

And he'll still keep his job! Unsackable!

[Husky]

Because we'll be midtable after the Bolton game?

Probably. I heard NotLob are even worse than us.

[AggyBlue]

Although I didn't think we deserved to lose, two points from four games is what it is. Not good enough.

This club is in utter turmoil and I fear its going to get worse.

No it happened just before half time, 2 were escorted out and it was recorded by the police

[T J Hooker]

I'm not sure Venky's are even aware of what's going on.

It always feels that way,

it really wouldn't kill one of the family to just give the LT a quote at the very least each week or so, so we know they're actually involved and watching.

Hopefully this will be reported And noted by the owners.

Absolutely no idea how we lost that match. Looked solid. Akpan was our best player.

Lacked a lot of cutting edge up top. Desperately need Rhodes back.

Fact remains we've got 2 points from 4 games and not had a single second where we've been in the lead. Plus, we underachieved last season. Bowyer must go.

The bolton games on sky aswell so that should heighten the after effects of another pish poor performance, though i wouldnt be suprised if they turn out a real performance knowing the cameras are there and GB will be put back on his pedestal by the eediots with their heads in the sand.

[Neal]

Imagine throwing away millions at a business and then watching someone who has no clue how to get that business to perform fail week after week. Absolutely boggles the mind.

RESIGN.

Rhodes out for a month according to Training ground sources. Probably means he wont be sold but well and truly in the relegation spots before we see him again if proves to be correct.

[DanielMB]

Just love the official match reports positive spin

"Rovers suffered their first defeat on the road since February"

[LewisF]

Having been and holiday and therefore not posted for a fortnight, I can safely say that if we don't beat Bolton on Friday then I'm all for Bowyer Out. Reading some of tweets of today: Duffy up front for the final minutes? Really? GB's tactics and decision making really are inexcusable. He's done a job in getting us securely mid table, but if he stays any longer I fear we may be heading for League One. So for me, Friday is the make or break. If we don't win, I can see Bowyer getting loads of abuse and protests starting.

And I know it's early days but 2 points from 4 league games among the absolutely stellar (sarcasm) likes of Huddersfield etc is disgraceful. 22nd place At the moment too.

[broadsword]

What General Weygand called the Battle of France is over. I expect that a right good go is about to begin.

Inspirational Uncle Gary, can we have some soothing, inspirational words from you please?

[RevidgeBlue]

Just seen the goal on Sky.

Worrying reaction from our players when the ball went in.. Lots of hands on hips, hands on knees, head in hands etc.

Do we have any fight left in us, even at this stage?

The goal looked quite sad to me. Could imagine Benny Hill music playing in the background as Raya falls on his arse and Hanley flops around on the floor.

Yes it does work. In fact it is better this year. The app is called FLi player in the store.

Thank you for the app info works great thoughafter today I sort of wish it didn't. Bowyer gotta go. Square pegs round holes even RR confused.

[Mike Graham]

Hope Parsonblue and the band of Rovers Fans are still happy with the stability and progress Gaz has brought.FFS, our club is dying and Bowyer is hastening our death.

I agree with the final sentence but no need to have a go at Parson. He is Rovers thru and thru, and although I do disagree with his support of GB he is a 100% Rovers fan.

[Riverside67]

Preston spot on.

The fact I predicted this is where Bowyer would takes us gives me no pleasure to be proved right.

I just wish he had the where with all and gumption to prove me wrong and shut me up and deliver on the potential Parson hopes will be realised

Alas Bowyer is clueless from a motivational and leadership sense.

The decline and fall
