  1. Absolutely no way we are getting 6th but 7th is quite realistic. Unfortunately we have to be in League 2 or the Naltional League for that to be meaningful. Sunderland were on holiday today including a strange starting selection by their coach. We have to beat what is in front of us and we did. Only Woodrow was below the standard of the other players but his control in the goal build up was top class. Nice to see some quality crossing in the first half but of course Gueye wasn't on the pitch to benefit. Not wanting to jinx him, but I increasingly think we have a keeper in Toth - his distribution in the last two games has been excellent. Good to see Ribeiro keep his place and Brittain continuing his great form. Big plus to see Tyjon at the end.
  2. Both results were draws so we have to avoid defeat at Portsmouth next Sunday!
  3. sadly I never saw him play but never heard a bad word about him. RIP
  4. Gutting the women's team another Swag masterstroke.
  5. This could be anything. Two clubs for whom the result doesn't matter with some stinking bad recent results. I thought our draw in the home game against Sunderland was one of our best performances of the season. Sunderland were very serious automatic promotion contenders when they came to Ewood and played like it. Here's hoping we continue building momentum from recent performances and results but suspect it will be a let down.
  6. Three games to go and 49 points with goal difference is not an unreasonable realistic requirement to finish 21st. On this basis Preston are already safe... just. Luton and Plymouth have the run ins from hell playing teams at the top still in play off or automatic promotion fights (and not Sunderland who are already safely in the play offs). The others all have eminently winnable games on paper so it comes down to ability, grit and momentum. On yesterday's showing, Derby don't have any of those qualities so they will join Luton and Plymouth preparing for a trip to Burton next season. Up top, the dingles and Leeds have the automatic places sewn up barring losing two of the last three games. Similarly, Bristol City and Coventry have to implode not to get 5th and 6th between them. Boro have to go to Coventry on the last day of the season with Coventry visiting Plymouth and Luton before then so even a slip up against those two relegation haunted sides means Coventry still have 6th place in their control.
  7. Credibility. Lost when they fired Allardyce
  8. Great win, but Millwall had 10 first teamers out How did we miss those three chances in the first 7 minutes? Toth not at fault for the goal- come on. A Millwall player got to it at the front of the 6 yard box and flicked it back to the guy who scored but could just as easily flicked it goalwards- Toth going for the ball across the 6 yard line would have been beaten at his near post.. As it was, the hard strike went back across the keeper and Toth was within a whisker of stopping. Pears would have stood and watched. Overall Toth was solid and his distribution excellent. Really chuffed for Tronstad, Hyam and Brittain all scoring.
  9. Playing with no players this afternoon?
  10. Two ridiculously rubbish sides Derby V Luton
  11. Big test for Ismael. Nothing game for us against opponents who simply have to go for the win.
  12. Batty looked all at sea in that Tranmere come back. Didn't know when to press or avoid getting rolled.
  13. Blackburn Rovers - where 3 managers have sacked the club in the last decade.
  14. The most underwhelming look forward to Easter football I can recall. Millwall will be coming to Ewood for the win to project themselves into the play-offs which will give the game an edge. They are on quite a run at the moment so the team and supporters will believe. All the noise from the sparse crowd will be from the Darwen End. Likelihood of us getting to half time at least 2 down has to be high. Montgomery will be unavailable. Travis and Hyam will play. Beyond that we need a random number generator for the starting eleven. This sort of a nothing game will be a measure of Ismael's abilities.
  15. I too thought we were down to 9 until I realised Trav was still on the park.
