He does have an air of "the fans are stupid, leave this to the professionals" about him. Yet, he is another person in charge at this club that cannot fathom that to grow the club, reduce a burden on any owner is that you have to be hot on player trading. The year of us maximising our outward player trading has seen us do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to recruit the next batch of players to sell. The plan this year has been to use that money to pay the bills, no club in the Championship can do that. The stooges never mention their woeful recruitment planning, letting valuable players leave for nothing, not renewing contracts but talk that the club loses £20m a year automatically.

I quite often wander down to watch Clitheroe to just enjoy a football match. It does make me realise that some fans will never come back, just watching football socially and not being reliant on people who actually don't care about the club does make you question absent fans ever coming back.

He has a potent mix of arrogance and denial, two traits that will go down like a cup of sick for us fans.

In isolation you can say first goal well hit, second goal wicked deflection. Same with Pompey, a well hit strike. Your goalkeeper at this level has to be your equaliser with the well hit shots, otherwise I might as well be in goal and shrug my shoulders when the ball is in the net. We look weak going forwards, clueless in defence and for 2 weeks running we have conceded the first shot on goal. I know the Cardiff game was a very early goal too, 1st or 2nd shot.

It did, 2 pivotal players in Eustace's system. I'll go back to my original comment, I have absolutely no idea what this managers plan/system is.

Two words... John Eustace

I seriously have no clue what this manager is setting out to do, it is absolutely horrific to view. If he is actually any sort of manager (massively doubtful) he needs 25 new players next season because this lot have no idea what they should be doing. Venkys out.

I'd have loved to see Hyams face when he got told he had to stay another year.

I genuinely have no idea what system is playing here. The gaps for Championship level are hideous.

One shot one goal again.

I doth my cap to anybody who's sanity allows them to read comments Facebook, the LT pages etc. Everybody is entitled to their view but I simply cannot listen to anybody who has any praise for the owners, they do not have to be here, nobody has a gun to their head. If they leave we will carry on at whatever level the next custodian can carry us at, but I'm sure the next custodian will at least have the respect to keep us in the loop as to what is happening. Waggott and crew are keeping the Venkys show on the road and as such I hold them as culpable as the owners. No fan of Blackburn Rovers makes the rules on the crazy world of football finances, they make no sense, you will highly likely lose money, if you don't fancy that then sell. Waggott running the club into the ground because the owners are tired of how much a football club costs to run, is treason to the future of the whole club.

To be fair, from what I see, the players and manager agree with this!

1000 good people spent their hard earned money today to support this football club. They got slapped in the face. Absent owners. Woeful senior management structure. A manager that seems to have no idea. A group of players that have an alarming inability to recover from going 1 down ... this happened with the first shot. This is just an ongoing nightmare that shows no sign of getting better, fans will disappear forever at this rate.

I always found Andy Cryer to be an asset with regards to speaking to national outlets. The LT have even more of a grievance now as the powers that be completely ignore them .... It is your chance to shine Mr Jackson.

It is a year on year situation of "surely not". This year takes some beating to be fair from an outside of Ewood point of view. Manager leaves to relegation ravaged side, new manager comes in with 12 to go in a good position, rights off the season a few weeks later. Yet, nobody is surprised in any way, shape or form. I'm sure fans of other clubs think we make up what goes on here.

Essentially the club built the function room without the correct consent. I think Holt and other people at the club thought a retrospective planning application would sail through when the local council saw what a good setup they had developed. Local people have an acceptance of living near to a football ground and the noise, parking etc that comes with that. From what I gather they have a massive problem with the ground becoming a pub/ function suite all weekend and the noise and problems the night time economy brings.

Players not getting paid and HMRC not being paid are about the only things that raise an eye brow of the authorities. If there is any truth, which I doubt as Venkys do enough to prevent that, word would be out officially quickly.

There is mismanagement taking place at this club at board level that will have generational affects on fans support. People will walk away, people will find other things to do on a Saturday. Fuck you Suhail and Waggott and most importantly Venkys!!!

Rovers behind, game over.

I've given up listening to interviews to be honest, they are simply a contractual obligation. There can't be many players that are happy here to be honest, I can't blame then when the club is literally not even speaking to players about their future contracts.

Every part of me thinks you are right, but this is Rovers and it so Rovers like to win it. Disclaimer - Obviously if they score first we are completely screwed.

We know Rovers, we win this one. We then spend all of the international break getting soundbites of play off aspirations and lose pitifully for the next few games. We've been here so many times, then the self sabotage kicks in.

Agreed, teams coming up from League One are all about survival, they have no issue with going route one and roughing up centre backs and SUSPECT GOALKEEPERS!! Therein lies our achilles heal.

Agreed, but Brad was a once in a generation keeper. I'm so far done with Venkys I don't expect anything like that quality, but I also don't expect a coward in goal, and unfortunately Pears is that.

I can live with debating whether a keeper should or shouldn't have done better with shot stopping, most fans will be either side of the coin. Pears kills me because he is as soft as they come.
