v Sheffield Wednesday (h) - 8/4/25, k/o 19.45

[philipl]

In the spirit of apathy around here it is appropriate that someone not going to this match starts the thread for the crisis derby.

The club going for 6 defeats on the trot taking on the unpaid. 

Someone posted on BRFCS they wished they had the Sheffield Wednesday owner at Ewood... He might turn up which is more than Venkys ever will.

It will be 0-0 unless Ainsley drops the ball in his own net. Makhter Gueye to knock a Wednesday player out cold in a fit of total frustration.

I'm not going.

I’ve got my doubts about that, tbf.

Rovers 0 Sheffield Wednesday 2

One shot on target in the 84th minute.

An even worse performance than the last few.

The players, manager, board and owners are all pathetic.

[sharpysharps86]

Sheffield Wednesday have a pretty strong away record. 4th in fact, with only the top 3 in the league having better away records.

The players heads have gone now.

Rovers 0 - 2 Wednesday.

wednesday have nothing to play for  and we could`nt score in a cheap brothel,0-0 written all over it

[Mattyblue]

Think this will be the first home game out of choice I’ve not been to since, well, ever.

[Ferrit]

Another nailed on loss. Get your money on it

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Apathy reigns supreme.

[chaddyrovers]

I would play Toth now until end of the season, nothing to lose here. Lets see him on a run of games. 

I would bring in Ohashi for Gueye and Toth for Pears, apart from that I would keep the same team

sorry to hear that Matty. Not like you 

[KentExile]

Hope this happens, partially just so that Rovers will have some competition in the race to be relegated first next season

Sheffield Wednesday have to pay their players by Monday or face a three-transfer window embargo

Maybe a possibility of organising a joint protest against terrible owners though?

Indeed it isn’t, but it’s always a faff after work and no chance I’m rushing around to support a regime and manager that are going through the motions themselves.

[JHRover]

I suppose there will probably be a few thousand of their supporters but other than that this could be the lowest home league attendance in many a year.

Not if you believe the stats(sarcasm).

A three-window transfer embargo is a death sentence in this league.

Battle of the basket cases.

Who can be less arsed will be key to the result.

This should have joint protest written all over it. That would attract media attention.

As per last night, there simply won't be enough people in the stadium to make it effective.

Many of those who still attend are happy to tolerate it.

Some are even inverted snobs who seem to enjoy it - "I'm a better supporter than you".

There will be some organic chants of protest, and probably the throng of teenagers on the Blackburn End, bouncing up and down and keeping the Police on their toes.

They can still sign free agents tho. 

Rohl will be gone in the summer..Southampton job for sure.

But what the media attention going to achieve tho? 

Sheffield Wednesday owner is very unpredictable most of the times

Or maybe some of us wanted to get behind the players and back them. 

I want Rovers to win games of football. Simple as

Maybe they'll get Adam Forshaw in the summer then 😂.

Rohl comes across as a fantastic coach and would do wonders at a club with sufficient backing. If he doesn't get a bigger job in the summer I'd be very surprised.

Going back to Southampton probably where he was number 2 there

Good shout that 👍

[martonrover]

Just get behind the lads FFS (even though they’re going through the motions for their bucks).

Exhibit ‘A’ of the typical supporter who attends home games next season.

Almost as annoying as the idiots running the club.
