Something is very wrong with things in this team. -

I am delighted and relived to hear that. Ill assume that picking up on one word in my post has made you feel better about it all. Cheers. -

That's OK then. All fine here. Right team selection and a decent performance, yes? How bad does it need to get to be outplayed in your definition? -

I vaguely remember some criteria Eustace and the scouting team had for addressing weaknesses in the squad in the summer. Athleticism, pace, leadership among them, I think. That hasn't gone well. We've added some experience, some skill, and some youth but not those physical traits we have missed for years and nor, it seems, the fighting spirit. -

To be honest, I've already lost a lot of faith in him with his awful team selection in response to midweek. I seriously cannot understand the decisions to retain the goalkeeper, defenders, out of position right back, formation, dolan, weimann. It can only be a case of "go out and show me what you can really do". In which case he needs to hook several of them at half time as they have done exactly that and are making Eustace look silly, here. -

37% possession, 1 attempt in 45 minutes. Outplayed by the might of 'Rooney's Plymouth'. Off the back of a horrible performance and 3-0 loss at struggling Coventry. Pathetic team selection. Another shit performance. Let's see if there is finally any early decisiveness at half time to rectify the absolute crap that Eustace has served up. -

Hyam on a yellow for the next 70 mins. Take him off now, move Carter into his actual position and bring JRC on. Otherwise I can see us down to 10 with the pace running at a pretty useless Hyam. -

Yeah, skillful and pacey attackers against what is a dreadful defence. Honestly can't believe virtually the same line up (and identical GK and defence) as the horror show against Coventry. The manager has set us up for this and I only hope I'm made to look wrong in an hour or so. I suspect it's going to take a big change if personnel soon, to have a chance. -

It's no surprise, is it. Needed significant statement changes after midweek and we got none of the right ones, except Gueye in. I saw the line up and my hopes were destroyed. -

Devon Rover replied to jim mk2's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Dolan off, 10 mins too late. And still no Gueye. The one target man our attackers could play off. Why bother? -
v Coventry City (a) - 1/10/2024
Devon Rover replied to jim mk2's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Partly on Eustace as, if ever a game needed substitutions at half time, it was this one - and Dolan should've been off. He's fucked any chance we had with a minute of insanity, there. Honestly, I can't believe that -

What the actual fuck was that? Shambles. Dolan - fuck off -

Hedges on for Pickering, Gueye for Dolan. -

We look dreadful in both full back positions. Very lucky not to have conceded a few from the crosse we are allowing them. -

Devon Rover replied to jim mk2's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Decent game. But only because both defences look shocking. Still no proper chance created. Mak should've been playing here. -

Horrible performance, so far. -

I'd honestly be taking off Hedges now -

Trav and Tronstadt look such a good central midfield partnership. -

Similar to last week with some hopeless long balls up to Ohashi. Credit to Dolan, he has looked the bright spark for us so far. -

I agree he isn't awful. But he is consistently poor. Occasionally good. That's not enough ans I think we have better options. -

Pears was very good today. Beyond that, there wasn't a lot to be pleased about. We seemed really clueless going forward and never looked like threatening to score. A lot of work needed and time for some switches of personnel. Dolan and Hedges should be options from the bench. Baker is a square peg in a round hole unless coming in for Travis or Sondre. We've got a lot that's encouraging but that fluency in the final third was a long way off, today. -

Get Weimann, Cantwell and ACD on. This isn't working -

Yes defensively but distribution very poor. -

Doesn't change the fact he has reverted to type and looks both out of his depth and like he is so desperate to impress he ends up looking like a joke. We have far better options. -

Yeah bloody brilliant, eh? Cheers, whoever did that, you coward.
