I think this Saturday’s match will be the penultimate one for me. I’m working away next week (funnily enough really near Coventry), so I miss that home game, then Burnley is obviously a Tuesday night.

Whilst I get that the money we receive from TV is important, it isn’t half frustrating to have a Saturday night match this week. I’ll probably just get one regardless, as it’s just what I do. There will be others less tolerant than me that will definitely think ‘what’s the point of a season ticket if half the games are on TV?

Madrid just turn up when it matters, that’s the concern for City. Modric and Kroos both play like they’re still 21, yet they’re still well into their thirties.

90th minute goal and coming back from 2 down. Two things you don’t associate with us this season!

That would involve showing some spirit, don’t think our lads can be assed tbh.

There’s no point mentioning possession, we know we will always have more of it, but never actually score. It just makes you wonder what the point of it all is.

All our goals seem to come from our own mistakes. It’s very rarely a magnificent piece of football from the opposition. The opposition don’t even need to beat us, we’ll beat ourselves. Because we’re nice like that.

As soon as I saw there was a sold out away end, I knew that the players wouldn’t turn up, even though the fans have. No spine, no fight, no effort, just absolutely nothing.

Can’t you? It’s not an isolated incident this season, to be fair…

Football is the only sport that technology doesn’t seem to work in, which is ironic given how much money is knocking about in it. I still think it could work, it just needs to be managed a hell of a lot better.

Going well for Lampard so far….

Spoiler alert- we won’t.

The players are backed in the stands, that’s a given, but they need to give us a lift and at least look interested. There needs to be some more lung busting runs, crunching tackles, or going full on into a 50/50, instead of trying to just nick the ball off the opposition. If you’re down in the dumps, you can work hard to get out of it first and foremost. Slow, one paced football won’t win football matches.

Mowbray under achieved here, but let’s not re write history. Mowbray’s sneakiness isn’t in the same solar system as Kean’s sneakiness in hoodwinking football fans in general.

I think I’d rather us be mid table all season, than get our hopes up and be in the top 6 for the most part, then fall away. Particularly, if it happens for the second consecutive season. Whilst the transfer window wasn’t JDT’s fault, I don’t think we are playing as well as we could be though. We don’t help ourselves with the goals we concede. They’re always from our fuck ups, rather than being undone by moments of magic. It’s so frustrating to see us losing, then not being fully committed to 50/50s, loose balls with the keeper and just having loads of possession and doing nothing with it. We don’t have a great squad and it obviously needs reinforcements badly, but we don’t look like a team of grafters either. It almost looks like JDT is waiting for the summer to start again, whether that’s here or elsewhere.

Rovers don’t turn up and Burnley get promoted. Good Friday indeed 🤮.

Don’t be bitter mate. Saying that, BBD did live near to me until more recently and I’d often see him walking his dog…

I don’t boo myself, but Christ, how else are they meant to know how dreadful they were today? It was an embarrassing performance devoid of fight, passion, spirit and forward passes. Not exactly going to yield cheers from all sides of the ground, is it?

How’s Gallagher starting after today?

There’s this thing called Google…

There was absolutely nothing to cheer for tbf.

Pathetic today, absolutely spineless. Can’t believe how little character we show or how little commitment we show in 50/50s. Any loose ball is Norwich’s. Commitment and effort are the bare minimum, but we don’t do that. There’s no spine in any of them. Gallagher going half assed into a 50/50 with their keeper sums him up. Get rid immediately, no excuse for not going in full blooded. I can forgive a lack of ability, but never a lack of effort.

Might as well go home lads. Also might as well cancel the season. We’ve absolutely bottled it here, yet again. Thanks for raising our hopes for a second consecutive season only then to bottle it again though lads. Absolutely no spine whatsoever in any of them.

We are making this far too easy for Norwich. Their keeper looks an absolute liability, so when he gets the ball passed back to him, what do we do? A token jog towards him. Only Szmodics has charged at him. Possession for possession’s sake that actually goes nowhere. All in all, a bit shit so far.

We all know what happens when we go 1-0 down. All the ingredients are there for a bottling today. Big crowd, sunny day, a need for 3 points. Come on Rovers, prove me wrong!
