https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/23545658.blackburn-rovers-searching-vital-backroom-team-appointment/ Rovers will continue their search for a new set piece coach after the struggles in that department during the 2022/23 season. Director of football Gregg Broughton pinpointed as it an area to improve, with Rovers second bottom for goals scored from set pieces. They also shipped five goals from set plays in the run-in, and they will look to address that with the addition of a specialist in that area. Goalkeeping coach Ben Benson has largely been entrusted with set piece organisation, a regular fixture on the touchline issuing instructions (Eight months later…)

Form table since beginning of December:

What situation do you think would achieve that without it involving administration?

I imagine any approach would be met with…

Every club below us has already replaced their manager this season.

Sorry, I forgot that inane platitudes are more important 😁

Rod Stewart, Bryan Adams, Sting - All For Love

We’ve conceded more set piece goals (12) than any other team Only QPR (2) have scored fewer set piece goals than us (3).

Thanks. How long will it be before he realise his plans aren’t working?

I had to watch it a few times but I thought I spotted Pickering ‘grappling’ with Helik and then Helik breaking away from him. That could be utter bollocks though as I have the eyesight of a modern day referee 😄 I agree entirely that he shouldn’t have been marking him (if indeed he was!!)

Their desperation to sell was certainly where everything began to go tits up.

He’s far from the only one.

Final replay does seem to show he was Pickering’s man. https://www.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/football/13052545/blackburn-rovers-1-1-huddersfield-town-championship-highlights

Welcome! Theres nothing like jumping in at the deep end…😁

ABBA - The Name Of The Game

Should we be using our centre back to create overloads? https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2024/january/20/tomasson-s-frustration-continues-following-terriers-draw/

Must have missed that signing 🤔

I wouldn’t be 😄

In the last 10 games the gap to the bottom 3 has gone from 15 points to 9. Extrapolating that to the end of the season would have us going down by 2 points.

Which order (of to blame) would you put these in? Venkys Steve Waggott Gregg Broughton Tony Mowbray JDT

Russell Martin’s Swansea vs Russell Martin’s Southampton

Please word it like that at the next fans forum…

Right now yes, if JDT leaves then I’d put getting the right replacement on a par with this.

But transfers aren’t his only remit.

Sammie and Wharton aside, which of our players are worth more now than when the season started?
