Mowbray you’re a smart arse pillock.

Some ball from Clarkson. Rothwell comfortably our best player today.

So he's not a 1 in 5 anymore, he's getting more like 3 in 5.....our most talented player and mismanaged to death by Mogadick 

[Tom]

Again moments after hitting the bar, can’t pretend we aren’t warned 

Not sure why the Blackburn End are so mad at handball being given when Brereton nearly caught it 

[TheRoversReturn]

Well, that was a kick in the nads, wasn't it?

[DE.]

The second game this season already, taking Millwall into account, where we are being absolutely battered when it comes to shots on goal.

And yet we have 7 points from 9. I agree that he's useless, but when you consider how this plonker has essentially kept us mid-table throughout his time here - despite absolutely baffling and nonsensical tactics - it really does suggest a significant amount of Championship teams are really shit.

Might as well start calling that 7 from 12.

[johnradfordsubbuteo]

At least when they scored early I could stop worrying about conceding.

Now I don't have to worry about the second half.

Also, we have been utterly abysmal today and Tony Mowbray and those useless pricks wearing our colours need firing out of a cannon for this.

Has someone nicked your phone Khod?

glad i went to forest and missed this one😉

[yankfan]

Pickering loses Phillips there.  He drifts right to the center of the goal giving Phillips yards of space on the back post.

BB was chest not arm. Should have been a pen. Relatively enjoyable half.

In other news 2-0 first and last minutes.

Mogadon 's half time team talk that.

2 of the worst times to concede. WBA are going to walk the league though. The crucial thing is no injuries in this game and how we bounce back

Agreed…reply clear it was on the chest 

[booth]

Wouldn't be surprised if this ends 4 or 5 nil.
 
Stick a new midfielder kid upfront and this is what you get. False 9, false manager.

[J*B]

WBA are bigger, faster, stronger. 100% going up. 100% coming straight back down and the football is dreadful. Still, no disgrace losing to them.

I’ll do one of those legendary BRFCS quotes next…

Pickering isn’t good enough.

Yep. He was free with nobody near.

[Bigdoggsteel]

Rothwell annoys me. I can't help but feel his new found , somewhat, consistency is because he sniffs a move. 

[riverholmes]

It seems pretty clear who's going up this season. Fulham, Bournemouth and WBA all 2-0 up. I think two of those three are going to run away with the league.

I don't think, individually, we're that far behind WBA. However, we just don't have a team. The mismanagement is so poor, we realistically have to expect very little. Consider, Chapman did very well coming off the bench in the last game but he has been, apparently, fallen behind the new loanee in the pecking order.

tony`s half time churchillian speech will get us through this

I assume you mean the dog from the adverts.

'Boss, I'm a 19 year old CM who just got here, are you sure I should be playing up front?'

'Ohhhh yes!'

Nah, all me unfortunately!

Not happy, I’ll be honest.

[Darwen Rover 007]

Oh what could have been if we had potted Mogga and replaced with Ismael at Christmas last year... he would have us top 6.. and yes with this squad, people would want to come and play for us..

Instead we have Stubborn Tony who won't call potential players to convince them to play for us..

Just another to add to the list of crap LB's over the last few years.

He’s had a shocker there but the defence have looked really disorganised this half.

[Exiled in Toronto]

Gave away a goal, held our own for 46 mins pretty well then undone by a very good attacking move. But you can see the difference between their players and ours: bigger, older, stronger and better.

I don’t know why everyone thinks Clarkson is playing as a false 9, he’s clearly playing a good 10 yards behind Gallagher and Ben.
