We've been donkey since January. Some of you on here are clearly perpetual optimists. I envy you - I gave up in February when it was clear as day we were in a nose dive.

Bloody hell, how are Huddersfield 3rd? They're crap. This league is terrible.

Too honourable for this lot then - we only seem to attract self serving snakes.

I get angry at how our club has been treated - and is viewed by external parties. I'd rather go bust at this point than continue in this purgatory.

Elliott - excellent Harwood Belllis - excellent Khadra - good JPVH - outstanding Tosin - very good Harrison Reed - misused Branthwaite - very poor Giles - misused Poveda - poor Clarkson - very poor It's a mug's game analysing his loans though - being a nursery for PL academies is the lowest hanging fruit. If you have any sort of eye you can identify who the good ones are and offer them a starting space at your Championship club for a year. PL clubs lap that up. He's relying on loans to fill out the gaps in his squad because his recruitment has been abysmal year in, year out. He's lucky that 5 Academy players are holding down the fort in the starting XI - an Academy that he and his mates are trying to get rid of.

Horrible thread, that. Small minds from a small club. We've literally had 12 years of the worst owners in all of football*. A once proud, family, club has been reduced to a shell. The fact we have ANYONE turning up to these games is a testament to the support we once had. *for anyone debating that, the teams that have gone bust and bounced back, at least they've had that opportunity. The Venkys just squeeze the life out of us and pay enough of the bills so we're left in purgatory.

Occam's razor - they're really that incompetent. We have an administration full of chancers who, quite frankly, don't give a stuff about the club. The result is what you see on match days - a club dying on it's arse.

You'll be losing 3 STs (20+ years, give or take) in the Jack Walker if Mowbray is back. Walking out of Ewood with my dad on Saturday he said "I just can't watch a Mowbray team anymore."

I hate "Shall we sing a song for you?" at the first lull from the Blackburn End and "Blackburn's a s'hole, I want to go home" when they're from... well, anywhere, really. Football chants have really gone down hill.

It should be a flat £20 a game for adults, £10 for juniors, regardless of 'tier'. You're asking people to shell out for second rate football. We're already screwed financially, I'd rather fill the stadium (as much as possible) and try to invest in future fans than think about a bottom line by squeezing the hardcore fans who'll go come rain or shine.

I'd be happy with a complete refresh in the summer, to be honest. Lots of deadwood in this squad - a number of players who haven't pulled their weight in 2022. A new manager and some new faces is a must.

The three out of contract players wanting to play for Mowbray again - never in a month of Sundays!

Giles was playing as a LWB and put in an abject performance. He clearly would rather be anywhere else but at Ewood.

Has anyone seen the Dack offside goal again? The SKY highlights haven't shown it - I was sure he turned a Blackpool player and, therefore, couldn't have been offside.

He was awful today - worst I've seen him play. Even at his best he hides for 20 minutes every game. He hid for about 70 minutes today.

We were poor, they were worse. 1-1 a fair result considering (albeit there was a foul in the build up to their goal too...).

They did nothing until the Blackpool fan donned the ref's top in the second half.

Yes, really. They had nothing going forward - relying on set pieces to create anything - and looked shaky at the back. They were also dirty (Wharton and Van Hecke elbowed in the head / Brereton Diaz lucky not to have his leg broken at the end) and divers. Horrible, poor quality team.

Yes we did, Blackpool are the worst side I've seen at Ewood this season.

Did they pull a Blackpool fan out of the stands to ref that second half?

The team warms up in front of me every week - they're all eminently replaceable. It's a far cry from our PL days. I just think he's been treated poorly by the master man manager, Mowbray.

Pretty sure we'll be playing Dolan as a False 9 with Brereton and Gallagher as Inside Forwards... unless he's changed everything we've done all season.

I sympathize with him. Thrown in, out of position, at RWB when he wasn't fit and held the fort down. Now he's been unceremoniously dumped - I'd be looking to leave too.

Very naughty from Archer that. Injures the Blackpool keeper with a reckless tackle, then shushes the Blackpool away support when he scores.

Hedges has yet to start a game and has about 80 mins total on the pitch since he arrived.
