Blackburn Rovers vs Brentford, Friday, March 12.

[Bigdoggsteel]

Mowbray has been telling the lads all week how good Brentford are and that we are 5 years behimd them. 

Great sports psychologist

Well the Brentford manager seems 5 years ahead.

Hoofball! We are not at the races, I'm afraid.

I'll say it now and I don't care if we turn it round second half. Mowbray out. Wilder in. 

More chance of the wild man of bornio

If we lose this that'll be 5 points out of 30

How many managers would survive that? 

That's a hope , which I cling too.

But Nyambe probably doesn't think Trybull is going to give it away so cheaply when we are in posession. 

Accurate 

[jim mk2]

Even in the worst days in the 1960s and 1970s I don't think I ever saw Rovers not have a shot on target in 45 minutes

What a load of..........that was why is a singer playing center forward and two centre forwards playing as wingers. Our midfield and defence passing is let's be kind not up too standard. Things will have to change second half.  Long balls to our forwards are not working and the options for the player on the ball is very limited. Kim

Should be singer not singer 😅

Spurs under Kean ?

How many times have I banged on about the full backs staying in defensive positions and not indulging themselves as wingers. Commentator on Sky just called this out. We need a back 4 that stays as a back 4. Nyambe out of position on the move leaving up to the 'penalty'.

The problem with that is TM refuses to play actual wingers and instead plays tall centre forwards so it's literally the only chance of getting some width.

Let's be honest, as bad as the squad can be, they could thrive with actual structure in most cases. The clown on the touchline needs to go, and until then you can forget about ever getting remotely close to promotion.

[Torgeir]

Brentford simply a better team than us. Ref doing us no favour on their penalty. Need a fluke goal and/or a couple of changes. Pretty frustrating to watch.

Second best to a decent team, that hasn't created many chances though.  Changes needed if we are to get anything from this game.

Wilder for Mowbray half time special?

Gallagher needs to show some fight for a big lad omg he is a joke wheres the bloody aggression bloody fight for the ball in the air

With his size, he should be doing stuff like this:

 

But it tends to be the other way round, like the foul on the halfway line.

Rubbish. If we were scared to move forward in case someone gave the ball away we'd never get out of our own half.

Then again, we haven't anyway.

Rubbish! What the hell is the basis for that non-opinion? Are you saying fullbacks can go walkabouts whenever they want? The clues in the name DEFENDER.

Klopp? 🤔

Awful display.  Don’t think we have won a second ball all half

That just about sums if up.....

[booth]

Poor referee but Rovers look like a jigsaw puzzle with half of the pieces missing and a few pieces in the wrong places.

Why does Nyambe keep driving forward to do absolutely nothing but make us weaker in defence? Too many players not looking up for it and Dolan looks out of place today he should be on the wing with Gallagher in the middle.

Tony just stands there grobbing on the floor, eyes staring at nothing in particular, sometimes sitting.

[Stuart]

Sky singling out Nyambe for the goal. 🙄

Did your seat face the pitch? 

[booth]

And c**ting Kevin Davies as the Sky pundit.

[roversfan99]

Absolutely horrendous.

If that front 3 is the future then we need to be worried. Toothless.

[Exiled in Toronto]

Buckley has been our only player living up to their level, but with Brereton, Gallagher and Dack all being hopeless, we should count our blessings they aren’t out of sight already.

Blimey. He's schooling our 2 centre halves in intelligent centre forward play. They can't handle his strength or movement.

Schooled our CBs but only had the one shot on target. A non-penalty.

I feel like the narrative for a lot of these players is written before the match. Judge them on what happens on the pitch on the day
