v Swansea City (a) - 22/2/25

[BlackburnEnd75]

Carter for sanderson

Buckley for Forshaw

Kargbo for Hedges 

Dennis for weimann.

All at half time. Thats what's needed here.

[Nic81]

Got to go all out now (I know we should have from the start!) 

Hedges has been the worst. Get Kargbo on. Sub Wiemann for Dennis and Forshaw for Buckley. 
 

Was expecting the teams around us to pick up points today but hoped we would too! 

[yankfan]

Not enough subs availabile to make to hook all the shite play. Forshaw lost, Dolan and Hedges horror show, Weiman impotent, Sanderson slow. Pears a fucking clown car in goal. Could be the worst individual performance for all 6 of them this year. 
 

Team selection all wrong from the start. Why even bother bringing in players in January if their just going to sit next to the gaffer and watch

[Tom]

People wanted to give it Lowe, this is exactly why you don’t do that 

Abysmal

It does make me chuckle that I've been lambasted for my consistent opinion of Pears on here "oh it's getting tiresome / oh look who's commenting again about Pears".

He's awful. Always has been, always will be. 

He is probably a nice lad around the place and therefore probably a dependable backup, but the idea he is a #1 keeper at a Championshio club and has been for two years is shambolic. Still, his dad is mates with Waggott isn’t he? Probably the first contract renewed since December 2023 as the door slams on Waggott’s massive arsenal, post-retirement.

Slightly, incredibly weak though

Just seen it back - yeah that's a clear foul. Another Eastern European shithouse CF - soft af when you challenge them, but happy to dive and cheat.

Pears should come off too.

[davulsukur]

Jumped in the car for 5mins at 0-0, got out and it's 2-0 FFS!

Hed better make some changes at half time but I highly doubt he will do.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Where the fcuk has this bullshit performance come from!!😠

Shit ref but it evens out. Wrong lineup and we’ve been shit. Make subs at half time ffs. Sick of these 60-70 min subs. «Hedges been shit All season but if I give him 15 mins to prove himself while we are 2-0 down away from home he’ll probably still be shit. Lowe should’nt have started hedges and instead started literally anyone else / Kargbo on if we’re going to continue trying to play down our left. Still time to get something from this but changes needed post haste! COYB!!!

Edited it slightly

[philipl]

That was drifting towards the most 0-0 of 0-0s. Then, Pears oh dear- being found out big time. The replay of the first goal is nauseous.

Sanderson is very clearly grappled off the ball for the second.

The best players are on the bench.

Let's see if they come on.

We’ve picked our slowest and worst 11.

From the interviews he's given he seems to have a massive ego, so I'm not sure about the 'nice lad' part. 

At a competent club he'd have been shown the door several years ago.

If we win this I'll wear Swan outfit for next home game

I'd say Lowe has played himself out of contention for the job today.

Spineless team selection.

We're 5th, we should be going to Swansea looking to impose ourselves and go hone with the 3 points. Seems to me that Lowe went looking not to lose and that's turned out well...

There's no way Lowe actually wants the job.

If Pears has an ego than the whole 'keepers always have a screw loose' gets a bonus point

He was nearly on his back... horrendous decision. I'm not a fan of Sanderson though, far inferior to our other options.

[Neal]

Seems like a nice fella but fuck me...

Buckley was starting to hit form... bench.

Sign Kargbo who looks good... Bench.

Big signing in Dennis... bench.

All the while fucking dad's army fucking trundle about on the pitch. Forshaw, Hedges and Weimann are fucking rank.

Sanderson poor aswell. 

 

Get them all off. 

[philipl]

Coventry and West Brom both winning. Looking like a really bad afternoon.

warnock basically drop kicked him out of middlesborough,he could see he was`nt good enough for this level

[Ghost7]

Absolutely shocking performance from the team, in particular Pears, Hedges and Gavin Ward.

2 or 3 subs needed at HT.

You don't reach 60 years of age, with an entire career in the game, 25 years in coaching to then suddenly become a successful championship manager. 

Standard though, interim guy does well for a couple of games and people call for him to get the gig full time. Rarely works out.

[duckson]

No changes. FFS.

No it wasn't, we looked open from the start and any shape from the previous management team has worn off. Hedges could have cost us three times before he let his man get free and score the opener. Wrong team selection and no shape. Lowe wont make any drastic changes as he knows hes a job for life at the club however useless he is.
