John Eustace - our head coach

[Armchair supporter supremo]

Broughtons signings overall have a better good 2 bad ratio than any other venky period apart from maybe bowyers, especially with the minimal funds he's had and other entities at the club seemingly trying to scupper every signing he makes that costs over a mill

[AllRoverAsia]

I wish JE well and every success, that's good for all of us.

I just wish that someone at some level at Ewood or Brockhall would take JE aside and tell him that most fans like being called Rovers rather than Blackburn Rovers and definitely not just Blackburn.

All the names are good, but Rovers are who we are.

Offered in the spirit of the much vaunted "togetherness".

[Mattyblue]

Wait for the ‘it doesn’t matter, nobody calls us that outside the area’.

Yep, quite right, they don’t, which means it’s a canny little move if he does start to do so himself - JDT cottoned on to that straight away, and to be fair Mogga did from time to time.

Not up to it. 

No win in 6?

[CambridgeRover]

Getting sick of this moron. 

Yes man

[roverblue]

These next two home games are the ones to judge him on. We have to win both and it’s up to him and the players to get their shit together.

Personally can’t see it based on the season so far it’s been dreadful for months. Losing Travis was a disaster but letting Wharton go was the final nail in the team’s coffin. League one here we come!

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

I said at the time that selling Wharton was our Ken Knighton moment. That’s for those with a long memory.

[Mercer]

Ipswich are 2nd in the table and Travis has started, including today, in 2 out of the last 3 games.  Think that's now 5 or 6 games he started for them but not good enough for us!!!

Travis is no world beater but my goodness, he's proving to be a huge miss.

As @Tyrone Shoelacessaid about Wharton, it's utter madness what has happened with our midfield.  The signing of an injury plagued Fleck just reeked of desperation and madness.

No offence but that-s absolute bollocks.

Great signing in Szmodics, Tronstad maybe OK, the rest ranging from poor to downright disastrous.

[Ewood Ace]

A pound shop Tony Pulis.

[roversfan99]

We have played Birmingham, Cardiff, Swansea, Preston and Norwich under him and have not won any. Some fight.

[davulsukur]

Really wanted to give him a good chance but he seemingly doesn't have any answers either. No wins in 6 is just a continuation of the horror show that was served up before hand.

Hugely concerning, he's needed a couple of wins by now at least and now there is huge pressure to win the next 2 but Millwall are up next and are currently living off an actual managerial bounce.

He's got to pull something unexpected out of the bag if we are to stand a chance, sadly, can't see it though.

All the other teams down at the bottom are showing some actual fight, not us though.

The lack of fight has been going on since the Chicken Chokers walked through door. Executives have come and gone, managers have come and gone, coaches have come and gone, players have come and gone yet nothing has really changed. Nor will it until we change the owners.

Hyam been OK to be fair, but the squad is massively propped up with the players who were already here when Broughton and Tomasson came in. 

The strongest 11 still would have at least 8 players who they inherited, it's a massive problem. 

[ABBEY]

So did he tell fans to fuck off

Sounds like HE is now making excuses

What about the no excuse culture.

What’s this about? Who’s saying he shouted at the fans and where has this come from?

[Upside Down]

Maybe JDT wasn't making excuses after all.

Maybe when he complained about our already weak squad being made even weaker he wasn't just 'moaning'

This is the shittest rovers team I have ever seen.

JE coming in and giving it the big un has done nothing but put more pressure on himself.

There's no excuses, we should have won at least three of the last six games. Those teams we've played are shit. Not fucking good enough.

It's not though, is it. 

We've been better defensively since he arrived. He's suffering from the same problems that JDT had - zero attacking options and a weak squad. 

Selling A. Wharton and not replacing him was suicide.

Who's in your strongest 11?

[J*B]

I wouldn’t say this on Twitter because I’d be jumped on by our more positive fans, but consider me extremely unconvinced about Eustace as a manager and concerned about the amount of points we are getting. 

[philipl]

Worth pointing out the injury situation which is suddenly as bad again as it was before Christmas.

So very difficult to judge Eustace especially when there were spectacularly abysmal individual performances today no coach cancelled prepare for
