I can hear the Cov fans now, how can we play like that against United and get bloody beat by Blackburn. -

I don't mind a joke but come on. -

Although I'm obviously hoping we win, the way I see it, a point is a better result now than it was this morning. -
Anyone who was taking a point against Wednesday this morning, is now snatching your hand off.

Go for a win but definitely don't lose would be my message. A win tomorrow and we'd actually be finishing the season in play off ish form -

We all want a home win obviously, a win on Sunday would make it 3 in 5 and we'd be starting to hit some really good form. It's just that it's never been specified before as being a "monkey on his back". I didn't realise it was a thing until now. -

I thought it was just wins he needed, I didn't realise they were now being categorised,when did that happen? Just for the record, will 1-0 do? -

Well, he's won 2 away matches,that box has been ticked. We could do with a win at home on Sunday, but that would only leave the Coventry game to get a home win at 3 o'clock on a Saturday. -

Season ticket so genuinely don't know, why is it more difficult to get a home ticket? -

Of them all, when nobody got on the end of the Somerville cross, I think that was their big moment. -
v Leeds United (a) - 13/04/2024
M_B replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I actually thought we had the best chances, besides the goal, there was the Szmodics cross which I still can't believe didn't go in, and the Costello shot which was so close. Szmodics also forced the best save of the first half. Chances wise, they had the quantity but I'd say we had the quality. -

M_B replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Can see the logic in limiting the away following, but can't you just see Szmods scoring at that end and telling them all to calm down. -
John Eustace - our head coach
M_B replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
The last 6 matches looked, on paper, as tough as it gets,many were asking where our next point was coming from. The Bristol game has taken the gloss off a pretty decent run of form, considering our position and who we've played. -
v Leeds United (a) - 13/04/2024
M_B replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Clean slate, as in level playing field and not starting by having to put fires out with players you've never coached before, i thought that was obvious. Everything this season has been about staying up, I've been saying for weeks that I don't really care if we draw our way to safety. If he fails he fails, but to me he's shown enough know how to certainly be given a fresh start from next season, I don't really know why you would Insist on carrying any of this season into next, hopefully it's mission accomplished. -

One out of 14? Come on Neil. We've been in every other game. It's been dull as dishwater and won't do from the start of a season, but all I'm saying is he's surely deserved a chance with a clean slate,now he knows the squad. I think he's shown a bit of nous. -
v Leeds United (a) - 13/04/2024
M_B replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
We've lost 4 in 14,that's far from shocking during a relegation battle, given the hand he was dealt. Barring the Bristol debacle, since he came we've conceded an average of less than one per game. To turn Rovers defence into such a tight unit, in such a short time, whilst fighting relegation I reckon shows a fair bit of coaching acumen. Before these last 6 games, many were asking where our next point was coming from, we're now looking like we're going to stay up. He definitely deserves to start next season with a clean slate, he's earned it. -

Funnily enough, my mate's dad likened him to Jimmy. He actually reminds me of Bowen at West Ham, he makes very similar runs and scores similar goals. -

Brilliant result D L W D L W Considering 4 were away, and we've played Ipswich, Southampton and Leeds, we're actually showing some good form. -
They were mainstays of Mowbray's squad, a squad which finished 8th and subsequently 7th. The trouble is that my strongest 11 still has 8 players from Mowbray's tenure. I know there are many reasons/excuses, but the recruitment has been pathetic since Broughton and his extensive new team came on board.

Leicester's problem is that they were already up, or so they thought. They played like they were already on the beach.

M_B replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Thankfully, last night was out of character with how we've played for the last few weeks. Repeat last night and it will be a similar result, repeat the game before against Southampton and the nerves at Elland Rd might just start jangling. Whatever happens, even if we do lose, it can't be a repeat of last night's surrender. -
v Bristol City (a) - 10/04/2024
M_B replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
The financial argument never really added up in my opinion, not when they could supposedly have received £2 million for Gallagher and offloaded the highest wage in the process. Got told by someone who supposedly knows what happened, there was a blazing row at training, Travis told Tomasson to f off and walked off, and the rest is history. -

M_B replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
He may yet go but it's unlikely, but if he doesn't I don't see the point in wanting him out before he's had the chance to really prove himself. This season has ended up a disaster, if we stay up, I'd be happy to write it off and see how he does with a clean start. I don't see how he can be fairly judged on this season. -

Don't really read them to be honest, not much point whoever is giving them. I don't really see what Eustace could have said last night after that, which wouldn't have been jumped on. I also think we'll survive,assuming we do, if we can't go into next season with a fresh start,he will be onto a loser from the outset. It should be viewed as Eustace keeping us up and starting with a clean slate, but I very much doubt it will, unless we have an amazing start.
