Good spot, given the depressing way the match ended, think we had all probably overlooked this.

Forshaw played well today, he should have be in against QPR, Hickman and Montgomery was never going to be enough to compensate for the loss of Tronstrad.

I love Yuki's work ethic but his finishing this season has been absolutely woeful. He has missed countless good chances, generally when he has time to think, his only goals have been first time reaction efforts and the deflection at Hull. We might have got lucky with Gudjonsson though, he's scoring goals and missing chances but is always getting in the right areas.

What an unforgiving league this is. I think most of us would have taken a point before kick off but to concede so late, again, is a real hammer blow. Being more clinical with our chances, we could so easily have picked up 5 extra points this week and be going into the Ipswich game in hand, with thoughts of really pushing on to catch the behemoths of Millwall, Knob End and Hull. As it is, we could now be soon slipping back into the bottom three. Unless we can turn around the Ewood form, we are facing a real relegation battle.

Spot on, yet again.

Yep, Robinho and Aidan McGeady putting it in the Darwen End net.

Didn’t go today, just relaying what the Radio Lancs lot reported. We would have taken a point before the match but so disappointing to concede at the death.

Absolutely gutted by that late equaliser. I didn’t see us getting anything at all before the match but to concede so late was heartbreaking. According to Bayes / Gallagher, was never a free kick and the lad who eventually put it in the net was offside. Conceding a lot of very late goals and scoring very few ourselves has been an Achilles heal for many years. Love Yuki’s work ethic but his finishing has been really poor so far this season.

The Knobbers and Notlob business model to successfully increase crowds and atmosphere, constantly pointed out to the stooges at Ewood. Sadly, they have no idea how to run a business and have no interest beyond the headline ST revenue collected.

Sadly, I agree. Despite the tremendous away results so far, I just can’t see us getting anything today from Hollywood FC.

Nailed it.

Because we don’t want our club to die.

Everyone makes their own decisions, I have a brother who has boycotted for years and I go to every home match and a good few away. Last night I was trying to get home from holiday to attend but didn’t get back to Manchester Airport early enough and so just caught the last 25 minutes on telly. I go out a sense of duty rather than enjoyment now, it feels like that if I can’t be bothered no more, then who else will go and without us, the fans, the club will die. Years back, I would walk down LBR amidst the throngs of Blue & Whites. Now, for night matches, I walk down almost without anyone else in sight, incredibly sad and a damning indictment of what Venkys and the stooges have done to us. Yes, there is no excuse for the performances and results being delivered at Ewood but it must be difficult for the team to play in such an empty stadium with a downtrodden and depressed remnant support.

Absolutely spot on.

Yep, we don’t agree on it, the messageboard is about opinions. As I said, I’m not excusing poor performances but to me the Ewood atmosphere plays a part and that is what the owners and stooges have created. I honestly don’t know how we begin to turn it around.
