Is anyone concerned that every other club has said this manager starts well then form goes off a cliff? This is the 'good' bit

What we could try and do to turn this game is lump it forward 20 yards either side of our 6ft5 target man repeatedly. It hasn't worked the first 19 times but maybe the 20th

He will absolutely have to break the team up and start from scratch because we've not bothered renewing a contract in 12 months

This has all the makings of a 1 nil loss. I think they'll sit in compact and we won't be organised enough to break it down before they nick one. I distinctly remember they started the season with a few good headers of the ball. 82nd minute conceding at a lofted free kick. Fairly indifferent to Eustace going, definitely not buying in to the snake narrative - find that quite confusing

If Cantwell wasn't so handsome he wouldn't be on the wages he's on nor get the number of chances he's had here I'm only half joking

Hope the Ismael 60 minute role is excepted today to take Dolan and Forshaw off.

I wonder what Dolan thinks looking at Kargbo being so direct on the other wing. Why's he not turned back yet, why's he not taken 3 touches yet. He's barely done any pirouettes

Is jack Wilshire on their coaching staff?

It's O'hashi (I thought it was Pickering)

Self indulgent that from Rambo, wanted the goal against his old club

Great positional awareness from Dolan

Maybe this is what he means about hard work?

Theory of mediocre relativity

How very unfortunate for Blackburn supporters. For a club that's had Megson, Pulis, Steve Bruce and Corberan (love the man but boring football) on the books, it's quite unbelievable that Ismail managed to top the lot for the most dross football I've ever witnessed at the hawthorns. Every game was a carbon copy of the last with zero tactical tweaks. Same system. Same shape. Same players. Same substitutions on the *EXACT SAME MINUTE* (60th, 65th and 75th minute subs every single match). If you're losing he doesn't change. If you're winning he doesn't change. Every match is Groundhog Day, and it was a putrid experience. Ig Blackburn are lucky, maybe he's changed and loosened up, but man alive am I glad he's not back at our place. Review from a baggies fan. Reads like the come dine with me meme. What a sad little life.

Having skim listened to the interview, vaguely remembered his Barnsley team and see the comment from the Baggies fans about him - he's clearly got the labore down. If at 60 minutes we use all our subs on after running them selves into the ground I can see Kargbo getting a few counter attacks. He has done well with tall strong strikers I believe (Dike) and so Gueye must be fancying it too. Presumably Gueye speaks French from his time in Belgium too? As far as the bargain bucket goes, I can see the football rationale. Regards the intentions however, do we think he spoke more about football in his job interview or his announcement video interview

Ismael being a long ball merchant doesn't put me off, we've a 6ft 5 striker who'd win an aerial duel against a totem pole The bigger concern is he's bang average and his success at Barnsley came from squad depth

I see Nils Freidriksen has taken Paul Ince's management style to new heights

Should've used the Soggy/Dennis money for Johansen at stoke

This team selection and performance influences a comically small amount of the decision on the next manager

The worst bit is we're still 3 to 4 weeks from a new manager. They've got to go to judges houses then live shows before we find out who's won

If Pears has an ego than the whole 'keepers always have a screw loose' gets a bonus point

Professional cone picker upper and patter on back who learnt his trade from Tony Mowbray can't pick his team properly and errs on the side of caution when faced with a problem that requires ambition and being brave More news at 10

Yorkshire fisheries getting a seeing to post match

That is in fact eleven Blackburn rovers players, supplemented by a further 9. That's about all I can say
