On the manager, sadly nothing will change until Venky's and Pasha are out. They've treated the fans with contempt for 15 years and it feels like they're on the brink of causing more damage than ever before by being completely awol (as usual) during a crisis, off the pitch, on the pitch, beneath the pitch and in the stands. Nearly everyone I speak to, including myself does not want to attend games and the reality is the board couldn't care less, and the owners probably aren't even aware. I'm sick of seeing in person what they've done to this club. I've no doubt "the board's" day to day at the moment is largely made up of making sure word doesn't get out about the horrific job they're doing. There are people in roles they shouldn't be anywhere near. You can argue we need to go down, perhaps multiple times to start over so Rudy Gestede is doing a great job with that. 👏 There's the occasional smart-arse out there that pretends the owners have their use, "who else would put in what they do", "we're a small town". The fact of the matter is no matter how smart you think you are and no matter how small you think the town is, there are around 7,000 fans missing, as a direct result of disengaged ownership whether or not it has been funded, and around a further 4,000 missing that would return if the club became a success again – Venky's ownership gives no hope of that, absolutely none, and that's a lot of missed revenue as a result of their performance.

He keeps asking someone who was signed as a "winger" per the club's site in summer to play LWB and defend in key areas against Championship opposition. De Neve's made it very, very clear now multiple times that he can't defend and also probably isn't good enough for this level attack wise. A shocking signing. I'm not sure they knew what they were signing.

Irrelevant, any keeper worth their salt picks the ball up without hesitation, since there was clearly no intentional pass back.

We look like one of the bottom 3 teams in the league. Amateur recruitment, poor squad planning and absent owners.

The issue is you only need one shot with defensive headers like that - it was routine. As I say he's cost us plenty of goals and the entire Norwich game at home but he's our go to number 1 starter at centre back. Got his feet muddled on the line for the calamitous equaliser at Deepdale too, he isn't that good but he's the best we've been left with and is a guaranteed starter. I'm certain we'd have seen some of these recent games out too at 1-0 had the club spent some money on a proper centre back that can attack a cross and command the air.

Cost us a good few goals this season has McLoughlin. He must be stunned he's starting every game at the club given he was in and out the side for most of his Hull career at the same level and for the most finished below us. We've been downgraded majorly in the air at the back and unsurprisingly it's costing us against even the poorest teams... The neglected facilities and a defence that looks worse than Oxford's is all on the owners, Suhail Pasha and Rudy Gestede. We are fumbling our way to the January transfer window just about, a window in which you could sell half their summer recruits. Not good enough, and we can't even criticise the manager for poor results since he hasn't been given the basic tools to do his job. The season's been a farce and has scared away another 2,000 or 3,000 more fans. As I said after the Wednesday game, they don't deserve any fans in the ground, not at the prices they're charging to watch a mess of a team that hasn't received enough investment. It's sad to see. QPR, Sheffield Wednesday and Oxford at home have been truly horrendous to attend. Shame on the club. I'm not enjoying going to games and expect this to be my last season.

Generally Rovers fans do underestimate the wealth of our owners and what they could do, if they wanted. Sadly they have no interest in improving the club and that is largely the main reason they need to go.

Please understand (as should the entire fanbase) £1 - 2m is chump change for our owners and does not impact FFP. To put it into perspective they would spend that amount on one, of many watches and forget they own it. They are free to spend as much as they want on facilities without sanction but have no real interest in Blackburn Rovers.

It certainly got stuck.

Lost for words. The club doesn't deserve any customers.

It IS denying an obvious goalscoring opportunity. Which is clearly was. Not an obvious goal. You can't interpret rules differently based on a players ability and what they might do next attacker or defender in the phase of play that was denied. If he's in the box it's a penalty and arguably a yellow card if he tried to play the ball. Outside the box the rules are clear that this is a red card. It's possibly the worst decision I've ever seen at Ewood. As I say I'm certain it was club bias, I'm confident Pratt, McLoughlin or Miller walk if the roles are reversed.

It has to be the denial of an obvious goalscoring opportunity. So if they are far out wide, with a lot to do still no. Morishita is in behind the last man with the keeper not far away. it was the clear denying of an obvious goalscoring opportunity for that reason, particularly given Walton's position. He was in no man's land back peddling bracing for a 1 on 1. I'd say it still was a denial of a goalscoring opportunity even if Davis was closer to him. He was the last man and in behind. Matusiwa knew he was off, the Ipswich team knew he was off. It's one of the worst refereeing decisions I've seen, a bias disgrace.

It felt a corrupt call from the referee (and his team) to not send off Ipswich's last man. It was a corner too, it looked a corner but the ref wanted to change the narrative of the game even after his inexcusable decision not to issue an obvious red. That referee shouldn't be anywhere near our future fixtures. I'm not a fan of Ismael but shame on the EFL. Last night was a step too far. The referee clearly favoured the boys who were in the Premier League last year all night, it was pathetic. We'd have been given a red without hesitation.

It's bizarre. We aren't trying to get a goal at that point.... We're trying to keep them out for the final 10 minutes and have solid defensive fullbacks sat on the bench. Ismael seems to prefer chaos. Despite his poor subs I was proud of the performance tonight. Ipswich should sack Kieran McKenna if that's the best he can do with those players at his disposal.

Personally think most linesman would flag for that - despite it barely being a foul. It's on Hedges for me. Stupidity, overeagerness whatever it is it was costly.
