It genuinely was. 3 genuine worldie saves stopped him having a hat trick.

Come on now… let’s not be silly

I honestly believe the owners don’t plan anything.

This is evidenced by one year not letting JDT sign anyone over the age of 15 and then signing Forshaw, Fadz, Fleck. I’m sure we were following the Brentford model a couple of years ago and then Broughton and JDT were bringing in lots of Scandinavian talent. The one consistent plan they have is to spend less money and to pull the wool over our eyes.

I’m not. Two headers stoped out of nowhere, and one goal-line clearance. Other shots too if he weren’t so weak at it.

Couldn't have been that great a performance, we didn't fucking score!

You mustn't have fucking watched it then.

Derby have no money according to my old flatmate who is a life long fan and season ticket holder. They played their playmaker at right back tonight apparently.

And they have 30000ish every home game.

Good, sorry brother.

He needs to keep that up, didn't think he had such a performance in him to be honest. Up to now he's been nuisance value, tonight he looked like he actually knew how to play the position.

We created some good chances first and second half, got down the wings and created things from open play. 

Gueye was very good, winning headers, overall play improving, had a few good chances, need to cross the ball more for him. 

Hit with 3 more injuries. 

Coventry didn't play us the park all this quality they have. 

More worried about the team we have on Saturday against Bristol City

The team we will field at the weekend is beyond worrying and its very difficult to give us a hope of a result.

The squad is falling apart because of a lack of quality and crucially depth. We are in terrible form and our players are falling apart due to over playing leaving us with a skeleton squad. Its happened over the last 3 seasons causing a tailspin in the second half of the season and it is happening again.

There was a lack of quality on show throughout. Hedges, Buckley, Forshaw, Dolan etc all not up to standard. Gueye could still be out there now and would still not have scored.

If I was John Eustace, I’d be off too Derby in a flash if they come calling, this club is in a Venkys induced coma of nothingness and showing no signs of ambition. It’s Groundhog Day again. What is the point in Venkys owning Blackburn Rovers? Why do they do it?

We now on 14 players out injury or ill. Of course the squad has been hit with 14 injuries but my worry is the amount of muscle injuries 

You say lack of quality on show throughout, yet we were better team tonight and created some great chances..

Gueye is improving week on week, pleased for him and the work he is putting in

[philipl]

Gueye was fantastic last night.

Eustace did his level best.

Swag should resign.

Coventry had done their homework on Toth sadly.

Can we recall Duru?

I think you will find that the term 'critical friend' is referring to the club not the owners. Not bizarre at all.

I think you’ll find that when questioned one prominent member of WATR stated they weren’t calling for Venkys to go. Like I said, very bizarre. 
 

Oh, and Venky’s own the club, so they were indeed referring to them.

I wouldn't attribute Coventry had done their homework on Toth as such, I'd say they are just very good at set pieces. We've seen it at Ewood with them 2 seasons ago when they scored with the last kick of the game, they took a stream of some best corners I'd seen in a short period of play in that match.

Well considering he put Simms and Asante-Thomas to shame tonight, I think that's slightly unfair. 

Gueye was easily Rovers' MOM and he did a lot more in the game but they both did little except scoring.
