Yes he looked good and at least tried to play forwards. Pity the rest just played sideways and backwards! Travis and Tronstad were abysmal yesterday.

Waggy and Gordon Taylor with Hird and Bailey the flying full backs. Was a real joy to watch

He was by far and away our best player today. He looks far more comfortable against Prem opposition than he does in the Championship (generally)

Yes I agree with you on Bucko. Pretty poor in 1st half but he was instrumental in quickening the pace of the game in the 2nd half with his quick passing (and forward passes to boot -unusual from our mf this season)

Baker is bloody awful. Get shut of him. Utter dog shit today. Has he ever passed forwards?

Yes I remember that well. It was v Sunderland and I had a pub in Ossy at that time. I had a coach load and a mini bus full of Mackems in the pub from about 3pm that day and it was only called off around an hour before ko time. The drivers had even started calling out the fans that it was time to leave for Ewood when the postponement announcement came on Sky. It was gutting for them - wasted day and all that. My till fkin loved it though lol

I don’t get what Baker brings to this team. I think he’s just a championship plodder who should be nowhere near a top six starting eleven. I just don’t get what the point of him is.

What a pile of shite you spout. Comes on for 19 mins at 2-0 down and game over to replace a pathetic midfield duo of Travis and Tronstad who offered zero, zilch, fuck all going forward who got overrun and bullied by the mighty Coventry and it’s his fault we lose! Two holding midfielders who can’t hold nor can they create or even see a forward pass. Travis has had his usual 5 or 6 decent games for the season and will revert to type. Trondstad is better as the holding midfielder without another one in the team. You don’t need 2 dms in this league.

Yes it is on Channel 508 red button. If you have the streaming box all matches are on but if you still have the TiVo box only a handful of matches are available

What’s the point of Baker? He’s utter dog shit

Ha ha. I was in RAF and took 2 Scouse mates to a match at Ewood in early 80s. Fukkkkin hell said one “it looks like the fukkkkin hovis advert. I said nowt and just inwardly smiled smugly to myself. It dawned on them next time it was on TV. “R A I’ve been there. Is that fukkkkin Blackbearn?” Dumb fuckers - but one was an armourer after all A - I’m an armourer B - I’m an armourer C ………😂😂😂

Lol. Have you been drinking 😂😂 They had half the bottom tier which was about half full. So about 1300ish

No that was Grimsby. Jim Smith got them promoted in 84 and again in 85 to the First Division. They had Aldridge and Billy Hamilton up top
