v Middlesbrough (a) - 16/3/24
roverblue replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Good point and clean sheet -
They seem the sort of owners who will flog the silver before finally selling or us going into admin. The question is if they have enough working cash to get us through till the transfer window opens. In summer they can flog Sammy and a few other potentials for a few million. Then it would need to be the training ground like Readings owner is now doing. Then after that its administration I guess unless a buyer is found?

Is there anyone who has a line into the club that can get us a thorough explanation of what is going on? This radio silence is worse than just being told the grim reality. Do the fans matter so little to the club that all we get is soundbites from the manager and players telling us to clap along and turn up?

John Eustace - our head coach
roverblue replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
They are two separate things, JDT had to go due to results and the breakdown of his relationship with the club. We would be worse off if he was still here. Eustace is looking poor at the moment but its early days and with the club in a total mess I am willing to give him more time. They could have gone for an Alex Neil or someone with more pedigree but guessing that doesn't fit the DoF/Head Coach model they have stupidly put in. -
We are going down (the pessimism thread)
roverblue replied to simongarnerisgod's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Feels like a miracle is needed to stay up. we needed 6 points from these two home games and only got 2. Very lucky today to get anything. Us and Rotherham are on a highway to league one with all the other teams at least putting up a fight. -
v Plymouth Argyle (h) - 09/03/2024
roverblue replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
We should have been beat by 5-6 goals today. Luckily Plymouth couldn’t finish their dinner. The formation was all wrong as they seemed to have the run of the flanks all game whilst we had 3 centre half’s marking a single striker. The 3 then kept arguing over who was supposed to be marking him and letting him run through. Total shambles we are going down and deserve it. -
v Plymouth Argyle (h) - 09/03/2024
roverblue replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Not great other than shoring up the back line it’s been more of the same in terms of effort and excuses. Its too early to tell what his style of play is. Tuesday was possession based boredom like JDT then Norwich more scrappy and direct. He needs to smash Plymouth after the disappointment on Tuesday to get some credit back in the bank. -
It would be worrying if they weren’t in profit after flogging a generational talent, hot prospect defender and 1st team goalkeeper (not to mention several million sell on fee for our old goalkeeper) for anything up to a combined £25-30m. Meanwhile they have reinvested about 50p and a bag of pork scratchings back into the playing squad. The question Waggot is how much are you going to reinvest that back into the squad? Or are you only bothered about making a profit? I imagine the answer is f all. The consequences will be seen on the terraces next season.

For someone who is supposedly polar opposite that performance on Tuesday night was a carbon copy of the dross served up under JDT. -
John Eustace - our head coach
roverblue replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
It’s looking a grim task to pull us out the mire. He has shored up the back line but on the ball it’s as poor as it has been all season. I don’t think it’s Eustace fault by any means. Without Adam Wharton there is nobody capable of creating something. You look at the bench last night and nobody who can change the game or get us playing a different way. The squad is devoid of any pace, power or individuality. Just conveyer belt children that have been trained to pass it 6 yards to the next guy. Our only hope might be to bore teams to death and nick one from a set piece in these last 10 games. -
v Millwall (h) - 5/3/24
roverblue replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Also the two taking that short corner in the 93rd minute and kicking it out of play should be publicly thrashed outside Ewood tomorrow. Thick as mince -
v Millwall (h) - 5/3/24
roverblue replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
It was like JDT never left, pointless possession based football full of 6 yard backwards and sideways passes. Total borefest and you just knew Millwall would score with their only shot on goal. The loss of Adam Wharton is massive there is nobody who can get their foot on the ball and make a forward pass through the lines. It’s going to be a grim last 10 games and relegation seems inevitable at this point as we draw our way to the finish line. -
v Millwall (h) - 5/3/24
roverblue replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Weirdly looking forward to this, think it's because there is so much riding on it. Feels like a must win game so lets hope the players have got the message and come out blazing into an early lead. -
v Millwall (h) - 5/3/24
roverblue replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I briefly met Broughton at the Norwich game so he’s definitely not gardening. -
He must have started about 5 games for us so hard to say if he was any good or not. Just a completely bizarre signing and re-selling of a player. Add it to the list since the Venkys showed up

Next Seasons Manager
roverblue replied to Tyrone Shoelaces's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
We havent had a new manager bounce in results but I think performance wise its showed signs of improvement over the JDT disaster. It certainly isnt Eustace fault we are knocking on relegations door. Saying that he has to win these next two home games to demonstrate there is some hope left to get us out the mess we find ourselves in. If he fails this test then I think we are nailed on to go down given our extended form (2 wins in 17?). In terms of next season if we are down I would just get rid and try for someone experienced in who can get the team back up. It will need some selling to a prospective manager though when all we are left with is a tiny squad of under 21s and no money to invest. Complete shambles of a club at the moment. -
v Millwall (h) - 5/3/24
roverblue replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
They all need to shut up and put up tomorrow night. The home form has been crap all season and asking us all to clap along as we go 2 down in another wimpy display is pathetic. -
John Eustace - our head coach
roverblue replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
These next two home games are the ones to judge him on. We have to win both and it’s up to him and the players to get their shit together. Personally can’t see it based on the season so far it’s been dreadful for months. Losing Travis was a disaster but letting Wharton go was the final nail in the team’s coffin. League one here we come! -
v Swansea City (a) - 2/3/24
roverblue replied to philipl's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Only saw the second half and thought we deserved something. Sounds like we started terribly though. we have to win these next two home games to ease the pressure -

The loan players we have got in this season are truly awful. -
v Swansea City (a) - 2/3/24
roverblue replied to philipl's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Stuck the second half on, seem to be getting a few chances but picking the wrong pass or just generally being shit. Think if we don’t win the next 2 home games relegation is looking very likely
