I would say that Buckley is the best player we have and in the right role, he will shine. The way he has been used and or banished to the bench, reminds me a lot of that happened to Josh King, as he was a wasted talent during his time with us.

It is a small positive, as them being as absent as they are and also question marks being raised about the real owners, makes me wonder what is going on. How the football authorities keep on allowing this to go on, with our "smaller clubs" is beyond me.

It’s all looking like a repeat of what Venky’s did. Buy a club holding their own in the prem. Start to make ridiculous decisions and get relegated. Sacking a manager like Dyche is one thing, but hope like hell that they don’t appoint some no mark that no one has ever heard of, who runs amok and becomes the most hated figure the club have ever employed. If they do, make sure none of your fans, ever go for a drink with him, as that would really spike things up,

I suppose that depends on current levels or salary and certainly what was on offer if he signed a new deal with Rovers. As Rovers fans, we all want the best for the club, so seeing certain players leave can hurt, Hard to say how it would have panned out and I have no knowledge of his financial state, but Connor Mahoney, May well be a player, would would have been better signing on the dotted line and trying to build on, what was looking like a promising career.

I think that might have been Roverite, who I am sure will advise if that’s the case,

Fair play to you guys, going all that way, knowing the football would ruin the day. I spoke to Darren Rover before and after the Blackpool game and we were both in agreement that Mowbray’s race is run.

Hope you’re right, but I don’t see how.

He will nailed on.

Much as I want it, a nice comfortable win, would be so welcome, especially if Luton lose in the early kick off, as that would put us back in the top 6. I honestly don't see us winning it and either a one goal defeat or a low soring draw is most likely. Another thing to mention, for those who have said that we are not getting into the top 6 by design, as the owners are happy staying in the championship. Getting into the play offs is likely to mean we are still in the same league next year, as we would come up against Forest or Bournemouth, if one of those finishes outside of the top two. Therefore if we are intent in staying in this league, surely a semi final off loss, would put some funds into the coffers.

The trust could point this sort of thing out and plenty of other things too, such as how the ground is falling apart and how to avoid players contracts down and allowing them to leave for nothing. Of course the chances are, their calls for some dialogue will be ignored and they will bumble along, making the same mistakes, with whoever fills the hot seat next. It could be called receiving bad advice, but when good advice is on offer, free of charge, but it is ignored, you have to wonder if it is being done on purpose, or someone other than the owners, does not want to come to the table and be exposed.

It’s a shame the decision makers at the club are ostriches. People in positions of power are damaging the club. It’s a free ride for far too many, who are not doing their job and don’t care about the future of the club either. Mowbray has got away with far too much for far too long and it’s about time the club was run properly. The latest trust letter will no doubt go ignored and the crucial decision on the manager, come the end of this season, is highly likely to end up with an appointment based on the wrong criteria, a la cheap, or from the usual connections. If only the owners had 10% of the passion, some fans have, we would be fine, but sadly, they want to carry on throwing money at it, in the same ostrich type fashion too. Clueless from top to bottom, is the current theme and this is likely to continue this way for the foreseeable future.

It’s an interesting slant on the happy clappers theme. I have never really thought that deeply about why some people post positives all the time. Say it as you see it is my view and no harm in criticism, if it seems that things are wrong. In my view some people at the club, are causing damage and need to be potted.

I see us losing this and still getting feeble excuses from our leader.

The goals for column is very telling. If I didn't know what had gone on, I would have thought the players had given up. Football without goals, is pretty stale.

The silence is deafening on the Johnson one. His Twitter posted, which was fully justified in my opinion, probably means he won't be seen in the squad again. Whether or not that's caused some sort of mutiny I do now know, but there is something evidently wrong since then, so perhaps there has been.

I’m no body language expert, but think I can smell quite a bit of bullshit in that interview. I suspect, like you that someone rolled him out to try to cover up some hidden agenda. I have always thought that there was someone in the background, pulling strings and this interview tells me, that this was and probably still is the case.

I tend to agree. Not many gave a brave type of performance yesterday and it looked like it was either the managers lack of motivation, or heads were elsewhere. Perhaps a deal is all but done for a transfer to bigger and better things.

Or the people that appoint the new manager are hidden in the shadows and just make it look like a Venky’s appointment.

I took the match in as part of a 10 day trip to the UK from Spain and took my son and Grandson with me. It was about as I expected in terms of the result, as I wasn’t confident of us getting the much needed 3 points. The performance was very poor and there was very little excitement in the entire match. I thought we were very shaky at the back, toothless in attack and had a lightweight midfield. Several players under performed with Pickering looking out of his depth, Travis having the be worst game I have seen him have in a Rovers shirt and Rothwell seemed to have anything, but the game on his mind. I thought we were lucky to be ahead at the break and lucky to get a point in the end. That was not a performance from a team putting everything in for their manager. Perhaps the players have given up on the manager and are simply going through the motions. It was good to meet up with a few friends and also to have a chat with Renzo, the Chilean musician, who was on a table in Jacks kitchen. it will be my last visit to Ewood this season and I hope next time I am there, we have a manager who does have the drive and desire to instill into the players, which is sadly lacking at the minute. I can accept being undone by better teams, but this year’s capitulation, is purely down to the manager and lack of desire from above to either call him out or get rid. Its sad to see the mediocrity around the club and to the people who are complicit in this, hang your heads in shame.

In the words of our manager apart from the first one, which is my word. But this is Blackburn Rovers.

Current odds on Sky bet for a top 2 finish. Bournemouth 1/7 Nottingham Forest 8/1 Middlesbrough 25/1 Huddersfield 28/1 Sheffield Utd 33/1 Luton Town 100/1 Blackburn 200/1

Bournemouth would have to lose 3 of their last 8 so long as the don't lose to Forest and if the beat Forest, I would say it is all over. I see wins for them at Ewood, home to Coventry, Boro and Millwall.

I have, but with the cushion they have, can't seem the blowing it.

Bournemouth have us at Ewood second to last fixture and I am hoping they are up by then. If they need to win to clinch second and we need to win to give us a sniff of sixth in our last game, I know who I would fancy being happy at the final whistle.

No way will that happen in my opinion. Forest are 8 points behind Bournemouth and both have 8 to play. Fulham and Bournemouth will be top 2.
