Mortgage on a home win then, yeah?

But Rovers have a habit of ending miserable runs from the opposition. Let's take this one with caution, and give it 100%.

The right call on Siggy.

I really hope the Russell Martin link is for Swansea and not us otherwise I think we can kiss all those clean sheets goodbye!

Passing out from the back ad nauseum.

How do you not understand? What the rush for? 

I never said rush.

Somebody I met at Ewood Saturday, told me Steve Gerrard was there. Could he be on the shortlist.

If Gerrard was there, there definitely would have been some sort of leak, or photo or something. Especially as there is a vacancy here!

I think it's untrue personally.

Agreed, you wouldnt expect anymore slip ups from him.

Sick of the adverts on this website! Becoming unbearable using this site, pop ups taking over my entire phone feel like smashing it against a wall...

You try delete them all and they come back, trying to type a message and the buttons are blocked by ads.

Wrong section I know but I need to rant

Who's behind this? 

You’re absolutely right, I should not only give up my free time to run this but should financially support it too.

If they get Gerrard we can look forward to relegation in May

No, we have already got 51 points.

If this was a win, whilst Lowe wouldn't be my choice as full time manager, what a sensational start to his first attempt in the job. I wonder if it would spur him on to consider the role somewhere else, lower down in the pyramid

When we played West Brom I watched it with their commentators because our stream was glitching. From what they said, apparently Lowe has one other professional management cap with Derby County. On that day he was victorious against Sir Alex Ferguson’s Man United! 100% success rate so far (3 for 3)!

I would obviously prefer a permanent manager to come in, but I really like the guy after watching his recent interviews. Very humble and likeable chap. Players clearly love him too.

Oh wow, that long ago! In that case I presume he's not interested in trying it elsewhere given that didn't push to him pursuing it. An organic transition to lead a side he's already coached could be the only route that makes sense to him

Don't rise to it mate. Everyone else is so grateful for your and your colleagues hard work in running this forum.

Don't get pissy mate I've never complained about them before but it's getting worse the ads on this site are some of the worst I've ever come across, even worse than dodgy movie sites that jump out all over.

I understand revenue is needed with ads, that's not the issue, it's the design of the ads that pop up and block your screen sometimes stopping me from clicking buttons on the site.

I am going to go premium to support it

If Lowe and Johnson, continue to supply the goods, why rush.

So why not allowed them to carry on the interviewing process to find the right appointment in the short, medium and Long term?

My point like many others is that there was seemingly no succession plan to Eustace leaving. Youve seemingly reverted from last week going mad at the issues at the club to assuming that everything is running at maximum efficiency. I dont believe the club had any idea as to what was next after Eustace and they are just hoping to wing it.

Short term its a good opportunity. There are never any medium or long term plans at this football club.

It doesn’t cost a lot to subscribe and I would highly recommend it, having done so myself.

If ads are bugging you that much, then there is a very easy solution.

So was bowyer but he wasted our best period in this league. We need someone to get us over the line. Not another nice guy

Did WBA or Sunderland or Dingles have a succession plan? No. 

We all know the issues at club, but do we need to keep going on and on about it each and every day? Do we? FFS.

We can bury our head in the sand if you prefer. But the issues are kind of important.
