Another predictably awful window. The only thing to change at Ewood these days are the excuses.

If you're into gallows humour, Mick McCarthy. That's the pond we're fishing in.

T h i i i n g s, can only get b e ... oh wait a minute

Kenny.

Misspelling I think ... leg end.

Heard this lad Travis at Derby might be worth a punt. Maybe we should take a punt with an offer. Oh wait ...

I have no understanding of what our transfer policy is. It would make more sense to buy 25 goalkeepers. What's wrong with round pegs in round holes. We need a goal scoring striker. Just f'ing buy one and add it to last years squad! I know they cost BIG money but whats the point of buying wingers and forcing them to play out of position just because their agent says "he can play anywhere across the front". That's on top of buying a squad that's got virtually NO Championship experience and selling one that pushes for the playoff each season. I mean what did they expect to happen. I'm no footballing guru but even me, an armchair schmuck, said at the beginning of the season we're fucked. We're all at a loss to explain it I know but how the Hell do Pasha, Gestede et al get away with it?

Love it B16. This lad's show real looks really promising.

Keeley. Can still visualise the challenge on an icy Ewood pitch that sent the player into a vertical 180 landing on his head. I'm still wincing. Todd though has to be capo di tutti i capi. Genuinely terrifying.

Thanks chaps and to Frosty in particular (very handy site that). I was interested in what the league as a whole defines as a firing level of incompetence and how VI compares. These were the points when Championship managers were fired compared to us at the same time. Watford had 5 more points yet they still fired Pezzolano Swansea had 1 more Yet they still fired Sheehan Leicester have 11 more than us now and they fire Cifuentes Southampton had 1 less than us when they fired Still, so virtually level pegging Norwich had 7 less than us, so Manning deserved it! Seems we don't hold our manager to the same level scrutiny. Other boards look to have more of an idea as to how to manage a club - especially when you see they are all ahead of us now.

If anyone has access to an AI tool I'd be grateful if you could get this answered for me. Of the managers sacked this season how many of their clubs had more or less points than Rovers at that date (complicated because Wednesday had a points deduction). My gut says that we're hanging on to VI well after other clubs fire their managers. I have a bet with the wife! This might help: Danny Rohl (Sheffield Wednesday) Departed: 29th July, 2025 Ruben Selles (Sheffield United) Departed: 14th September, 2025 Paulo Pezzolano (Watford) Departed: 8th October, 2025 Will Still (Southampton) Departed: 2nd November, 2025 Liam Manning (Norwich City) Departed: 8th November, 2025 Alan Sheehan (Swansea City) Departed: 11th November, 2025 Marti Cifuentes (Leicester City) Departed: 25th January, 2025

Oh, now I get it. I'm watching a pro football team against a 'walking football' outfit. Somehow they mistakenly ended up on the same pitch on the same night. What a mistaka to maka. Someone's getting fired.

It's amazing, I'm finding myself so detached from this team that I'm quite enjoying the match. It's nice to be rooting for a team but in reality I just don't care anymore, they're definitely not my team and definitely don't represent me or my club. Out run, out competed, out talented and out managed. It's like watching a great horror movie, you don't want to watch but you have to and then you actually enjoy the shock. I left my heart in the Blackburn End a looong time ago.

Things are so depressing that my only refuge is gallows humour. I'm so depressed, this sprang to my mind but please cheer me up and contribute your wit in a few posts before I jump off a very tall building. There comes a point when you stop checking the league table because you already know that you're somewhere between “mathematically doomed” and “practically relegated.” Other clubs are out there signing strikers with two working legs and a pulse whilst we’re proudly unveiling "potential" from some unheard of Z league whose last goal came during the Bronze Age. VI assures us there’s no need to panic, which is exactly what people say when there is every need to panic. Our current squad couldn’t finish a sandwich, never mind a chance, and the only thing our midfield creates is anxiety. Somehow I still manage to tell people I'm a Rovers supporter but these days more in the same way one might love a three legged dog that keeps running into traffic. What you got?

I've nowt against the Jørgensen signing basically because I've no f'ing idea who or what he is. It would be good though if we could sign A striker and not someone who CAN play as a striker. Round pegs round holes kind of thing. The rumoured fee is big enough to counter my view that we are fishing in very shallow ponds looking for cheap potential who may or may not turn out to be a fit for the Championship. But I still believe that to be true. Whilst we're waiting to find out if we've unearthed a gem we gather perilously few points and frustrate us fans to distraction with weekly lame arsed performances.
