Not celebrating anything. Not good enough defending and we need a revamped squad come August. Tronstad proved a point tonight. Absolute immense.

Not many of that starting eleven are good enough unfortunately.

He can't blame the players so has to say something. Five defeats in a row... at least we know which division we'll be in next season Rudy...

Where are Carlisle in the table?

Form dropped off once Trav got injured and then Tronstad.

Have you seen the players he's had at his disposal? We had two proper players on the bench tonight in Tronstad and Ohashi. The squad needs a serious revamp and we started the season with a squad that got stretched too thin. So many injuries and it's no surprise when every decision is all about penny pinching.

It's a slow painful death, a bit like life. 😉

We would've taken 52 points at the start of the season eh? It's the hope that kills you. Eustace walking away in the middle of a promotion chase and the second manager in a row that leaves after a diabolical January transfer window. Who would want to buy the club? Dwindling fanbase, small town. Reduced to a shadow of our old self in 15 years.

So was your post.

Wrong target mate.

Fuck off.

At least we can hope this run of games has been a wake-up call to the men upstairs that this squad needs heavy investment come the summer. I will not bother to watch the transfer thread though as it is not good for my mental health.

JRC overstretched again for their first! Defensive liability...has to stay in position. Batth unlucky. Poor first half. Better second half but Boro happy to defend. With all the injuries to our squad this is our level... five straight defeats. Wagg, Suhail and Rudy can fuck off but not the lads and the team. Oh, and I wouldn't have given Ribeiro a three-year deal. How many matches has he won for us? Him and Pickering are preparation for League One.

Have to let Cantwell start.

Carter has been poor after his injury. Loses important challenges defensively and if it wasn’t for his offensive contribution he’d be on the bench a long time ago. JRC should’ve started after he showed some heart in our previous match.

No confidence left in this group. We're hoof-clearing it and not building up play well at all. Season is over, wish we would give a few of our youngsters a chance now. Don't care much to see Woodrow, Hedges and Ohashi pretending to be playing League One football already.

Coincides with Batth out injured. He doesn't concede soft goals like we have been conceding lately.

We've had some shit performance throughout the season but we got some results even if we didn't play well for a while under Eustace as we were so well organised defensively and endured a bit of luck to snatch a few games. Then we went on our bad patch of form, where we were the better side but unlucky (or poor in the final third) versus the likes of Watford, Stoke and Coventry...eventually those 'unfair' results will turn the group sour. A lot of injured key players throughout this campaign, but we started with a rubber thin squad so at least that was something many of us fully expected.

Travis is back to worrying more about how to annoy his 'duellant' for the day instead of focusing on our own football. A bit of shithousery is in order when we're ahead, but it slows the game down and especially in matches like yesterday when we're better on the ball then our opponents. Overall he's had a very good season but been playing every minute since coming back from injury...

He has lost his confidence. When he regains it he'll be a useful player but is still raw and needs a bit of work. Has not improved at all while he's been here. In the beginning he was the one player the Ewood crowd would stand up for in excitement, but not any longer. A damn shame how this season (also) has gone to shits.

Send Cozier-Duberry back please. Let our own youth players play from here on out. Decide who we want to keep and offer them deals. I gave up in midweek, yesterday was better but oh so predictable in that we were the better team without creating much - and gifting them some big chances. Batth is a lot better defender than Carter unfortunately. Dolan looked clear onside to me and it was never a pen towards the end for Gueye so can't complain that the ref changed his mind. Let JRC play, he at least has some desire to run into the opposition's box. One final note: Ismael asked his staff who they thought should replace Dennis when he limped off and I could see Lowe said "Amario", so obviously taking some bad advise from the people who should know better 😄 No game-changers on the bench any longer though. Enjoy your Sunday.

Too early to judge him. The players haven't shown up but some of them are too worn down by now to operate, and/or are conserving their bodies a little for that next contract. We are a shambles behind the scenes and missed the boat big-time in January. That's why we're here.

Went to bed straight after this one. A real punch to the gut. Took out the final little hope I had of us reaching the play-offs.

Sanderson and Forshaw shouldn't be starters. I'm guessing we will put a lot of emphasis on Ribeiro and Brittain roaming forward and crossing the ball into the box a lot more. Hope Cantwell is there to feed off the scraps and that Manhoef has an off night.

Nothing that we have seen from Toth so fare suggests he is any better than Pears. That's how far down the barrel we scraped during the summer. Think he has a good chance of breaking into the team and he knows it, and should be happy to stay and fight for his place. Earns more than in Hungary as well so I don't feel sorry for him.
