Congratulations to Adam. I’m sure he didn’t go up for the trophy though? Never saw him once after final whistle? 

Does anyone know if this extension includes the ‘claim your own seat’ period?
Or will those existing ST seats that haven’t been renewed, now available? 
Reason I’m asking is that I am not prepared to pay any more in JW Upper and will be moving to the Riverside. I’ve already heard of several others doing the same.

Renewing now. The thought of giving Waggot, Pasha and Venky's any money at all makes me ill but at least they'll be getting less from me than recent seasons as I'm changing seats - this means a new season ticket card. So there are three options:

- Digital season ticket (no extra fee)

- Collect physical season ticket (£20 extra)

- Post new season card (£22.50 extra)

What in god's name are they smoking down there? 

I too was stunned when I initially selected the physical season ticket card, (as opposed to the digital option). The postage fee went to £22.50, so I thought ok I’ll go and collect it then at no cost, only to see an additional cost of £20! Naturally I have now gone for the Digital option, but this would be very harsh and unfair on a much older non tech minded oap. Not a good way to treat your more elderly customers.

You have to ask what the hell is Gestede doing? Surely this is one of his key responsibilities, to retain our best / key players, and then to keep adding to these and improve the squad over time. If he’s not on top of this, why is he even at the club?

Don't see how you can play both Cantwell and ACD in a midweek away match against a tough opponent. If you are going to play Cantwell you'd need someone like Dolan / Hedges / JRC alongside. I accept the fact that all 3 of those aren't good enough but in our position they at least provide some physical presence and /or workrate.

Don’t see how you could play either of them. Both been a liability of late.

Actually some very impressive play from him there. Hope he can build on it.

A camera shot of Rovers bench just showed Ennis tapping on his phone 😡

Surely that can't be right......I don't believe it. Someone tell me its a joke...no club would allow a player to have a phone on the bench.

This argument about training is nonsense. Where it matters in games, Pears has made 5 errors leading to goals in the last 6 games or so. Tomasson also picked Pears over a goalkeeper we saw in games was a lot better. Pears continuing in goal does not make it the right decision by Tomasson.

If Tomasson was happy with Pears why did we spend 800k on a sub? 

It isn't just training though. Wahlstedt will have had a number of games including u23, cup and behind closed doors. The point is, unfortunately, based on these, the management and coaching staff, have deemed him not yet ready to take over from Pears. The fact that he isn't is obviously not great news, but hopefully medium/ longer term he'll prove a good signing.

My view is that the team need supporting to the hilt while the game is going on. Anything that detracts from this doesn’t help the players at all. 

The Blackburn End will, as usual be 100% behind the team. I think in this instance you would find the team 100% behind the supporters.

A (for the future) midfield of Garrett, Wharton, Buckley

I'd play with that right now. Morton and Travis on bench. That is our future midfield as thing stand, and I'd have all 3 of them ahead of Morton.

I'd prefer a Bradley Johnson of a few years ago type sat in the middle than the Liverpool kid every day of the week.

I know he has some qualities but not enough contribution to start every game imo it's more about what he might do than what he actually does. 2 in 3 games he goes completely missing he's just too lightweight and wastes most set pieces he takes, we wouldn't end up camping in our own box against bottom of league at home if we actually had some solidity in the middle.

Such naive stuff it boils the blood.

I still can't fathom how Morton plays every single game and gets a free pass for contributing so little. 1 assist and no goals in 20 league games I think......Happy to be corrected if wrong. Not a patch on Harvet Elliot and far close to Leighton Clarkson. I'd chose Adam Wharton ahead of him based on what I've seen to date. 

Did Hirst actually come on? 

Good to see those highlights with positive play, forward passing and chances being created. A marked contrast to the negative anti football in recent away games.

No way Szmodics should walk straight back in ahead of Dack. Morton hasn't earned his spot more than Wharton either.

Agree. Morton and Smodics should be benched until they start making a positive contribution. Adam Wharton has done more in a couple of games than the pair of them combined.

Get out of this club right now Mowbray. You are a disgrace. Ps Take you're fellow losers with you......that's you Waggot, Venus etc. Parasites 

Crowd needs to turn on Mowbray big time now to force him out. That will be the only positive of turning up on Monday 

Personally I'd take a defeat on each remaining game if it guaranteed the departure of Mowbray, Venus and Waggot

"Last night was one of the worst displays of football management you could witness."

Presumably it would have been THE worst display of football management in footballing history had we not won by 2 clear goals!

If we'd have stuck with Mowbray's 'game plan' we'd have been comprehensively beaten. Fortunately his set up was so inept fans and players demanded change, with the odd exception such as yourself possibly. Thankfully common sense and professional pride prevailed.

Ffs both qpr and huddersfield with last minute winners again!! We miss a pen and concede q last min winner. So so frustrating 

That's what teams pushing for promotion do, find a way to win when the odds are against you or down to 10 men etc. Respect to anyone who does that.......... we talk a good game about character etc, about time we started showing it.

They got beat away at Blackpool and Coventry battered them....Mogadon has to start taking 3 points off these types just like the lad up the M55

100%. It's about time we beat a team a few points ahead of us....injuries or no injuries. Like any team in this league they are well beatable if we go into it with the right attitude.....over to you Mowbray, we're not playing Liverpool

Technically, Sunderland was a town when they won 6 League titles and 2 FA Cups.  Going on about us being a town club is meaningless.

Hi Mick, I don't think ot is meaningless at all and is something the club should be proudly stating as our USP / badge of honour. Blackburn Rovers the most successful town club in the country........(if not in any of the major leagues in Europe?)

Hmmmm! I just looked back to my stats on the Cardiff game. Carter was on about 35 minutes and scored 18. Now that’s what I call an effective substitution!

Exactly Tony, he obviously thought he was some sort of genius after the Cardiff game, and that he'd show how clever he was and over complicated things costing us the game.

Well done with those substitutions Mowbray. This work by Tony confirms they prob cost us the game. Please go now and take your useless cronies with you.....yes that's you Maggot
