We need to score 1 then defend like crazy or score 2 then defend like crazy. Otherwise we aren't going to win. We are so bad at managing a game it's unbelievable.

TK or Pears tonight??

I agree and get all of that but the other teams are winning and climbing above us and we can't seem to muster a goal let a lone a win. At this rate we will be lucky if we end up in top 10. Can't believe badly we've done since the WC. We were heading for a guarantee play off and facup run until that last minute loss at Sheffield. Downward spiral since. I think the players should pay attention to the table and other matches if only to show them what an end of season run can do. Look at west brom and Luton, where were they in Jan?

This is my thoughts. Maybe things can change with a bit of coaching, good luck and a run in the side? How did he fare? Was he out on the wings or attacking mf? Can't see why we would loan him out if we didn't bring anyone in during Jan. Surely keep him and train him.. Could he have made the squad this season?

https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/23460385.dilan-markanday-returned-blackburn-rovers-amid-disappointing-loan/ Hi all Considering our lack in goal threat over the past few weeks (months) seeing this article makes me sad! This kid was brought in, got injured and we've never seen his potential. He's now out on loan and not getting game time. Has he got the potential for our club? Will jdt and the staff bring him back and consider him a new signing in the summer ready for a new season or ? Will he live up to the potential that he showed at spurs or will he live up to the reason why they let him go?

Were we ever able to hear the interview? Was it released somewhere else?

Just checked Wikipedia... "Stephen Kean (born 30 September 1967) is a Scottish football coach and former player, who is currently the academy director at Hibernian." Blimey I did not know he was allowed anywhere near a football club

Exactly.

Nepotism. Jobs for the boys. No experience in this department. Wish I could get a job as head of recruitment without having any experience of recruitment.

Yes but how many of those 21 shots were on target? No point shooting at the corner flag and counting that as a shot for our stats

I guess all we can hope for is loads of crosses in the box and either an own goal or a penalty. We literally can't score and aren't shooting on target. Our stats must be the lowest in the league

Yeah exactly. Hopefully he doesn't let us down against Coventry..

Yeh it's a challenge when the CBs play poor and make the GK come out. He was looking frustrated. However I don't think Tk would be passing it around with such ease. I think JDT will stick with Pears for Coventry

"Since we beat Sheffield United at Ewood, we have picked up 2pts out of 15. We need to go on a winning run, or our season will be derailed" We are still 6th but what we do currently has been poor

I bet he is personally frustrated. Can we not sub him on

Exactly See above

I like this. Haven't written him off. Am curious on his best position. Think attacking cmf? He doesn't seem to have an eye for goal or that final shot so needs someone up top to pass to?

Reckon we will see Ayala again this season? Haha. He's left the building surely

Leonard shows he has the ability. He just needs a run in the side now.

How you figure? He didn't even concede last night..

https://youtu.be/jnf7fCZ3rDk Just watching the highlights, he got in to a great position to have scored and most attacking players would have put that away especially considering how desperate we are to a) score a goal b) make the play offs. Watching his performance recently particularly live and as he has had more starts I have been wondering what is his best position? He isn't an out and out striker. He isn't a traditional winger like Thomas who crosses in to the box.. Is he an attacking mf? Is he a no.10? Would he be better with an out and out striker to pass to? Does he keep the ball too much because no one else is making the runs he requires so he ends up in a dead end?

Coventry won't sit deep so we won't have the low blocks to blame. They will be looking to win to leap above us.

Agreed. Strange that clubs think we don't realise this. We can see their performances drop. It's not personal but we can see their level drop. If you don't want to play for the team then sit in the crowds and give others who are keen to play the opportunity..

Makes zero sense...unless JDT is trying to show the club why we need to BUY a striker in the summer

Reckon we would do anything differently if we even make play offs? Starting to lose faith now! We should have won tonight but we can't score. Why gally plays up top instead of Leonard ? Gally isn't a no.9. Leonard is
