Blackburn Fans Comments 1st Half........
Seen a lot on Twitter saying they’re upper tier tonight; wonder if we’ve stuck them up there in hope of reducing the effect on the team? Can’t remember many being solely in the upper tier this season?
Considering we’ve the best home record in the league this season, or we did have before Fulham won last night, the supposed ‘marginal gains’ rationale in previous years of having them in the upper tier has proven to be nonsense.
Pleasant surprise to see Dolan on the bench.
Forest will be buzzing and no doubt fly at us from the off.
Its absolutely imperative that we’re ready for this and don’t allow them to dictate from the off. As ever with Rovers, first goal matters.
Would be a massive result if we can get a win here, quietly confident
Forgotten that BB would be up against his old team, would be nice for him to get one.
Here wo go......
Make a bloody run Khadra for gods sake
How do we not score that????
Pathetic from Buckley, absolutely embarrassing
Someone please put Buckley on shooting training. It's atrocious. We've gone from taking our chances and winning games we weren't really in to missing hatfulls
He is one on one five yards out for gods sake
It was like a back pass. I just don’t understand why he wouldn’t just put his foot through that. Even Gallagher would have buried that with his eyes shut.
Unforgivable finishing from Bucko yet again the other side was wide open yet he passes it to the keeper
Wide open down Nyambe's side.
All too predictable.
FFS, 0-1
Absolute state of that.
Joke shop
That’s exactly the kind of composure in the box we’re lacking
And there we go. Punished after a horror miss. Knew it would happen. All the Buckley backers need to reassess. He's nothing special at all.
Rode four tackles to set up the goal.
How many players at fault there - about 5?
Shambles.
Ffs. Automatic promotion drifting away.
Goals starting to seep in plus missing big chances isn't a good combo.
Think I just heard Mowbrays bubble burst
72 men tried to tackle Davies and failed, really poor by all 3 centre halves and Travis.
We looked off it from the start and they are nothing special
BUT
You have to take that chance Buckley had , just have to
Drop Nyambe for no reason, exposed down that flank, shit defending.
Great job Mowbray, wonderful management you clown
Mowbray is an absolute mug for putting Zeefuik straight in for Nyambe.
Garner showing the difference between a Premier League player and a Championship player in Buckley
We are DESPERATE for Dacky to come back. Buckley cannot continue going missing in games and missing huge chances like he has in the past few games. I’d hook him at half time.
We all know what the general odds are of us winning the match once we go a goal down.
Forget automatic, we just need to pray we're still in the top six when this emerging death spiral eventually ends.
Hello darkness my old friend
We're in the middle of a classic Mowbray death spiral, a more solid defence than in previous years has hidden it but this is still a death spiral, make no mistake. Can we snap out of it to cling on for 6th place is the question..
It was a bad window. End of.
We won't be in the top 6 by the end of this month.
A fully fit Dack would make a big difference.
Need to get level before half time.
I hate this stupid formation, so clueless going forward
Failing to sign a goalscorer in January is biting Mowbray in the ass. Arrogant to think we'd not struggle.
We usually lose when we go behind.
Worral should had a yellow there too
A draw would be a good result now; still sticking to my 2-0 Forest win bet
And QPR winning too
Final finishing position: 10th?
Sorry why is Rothwell still taking free kicks? Hasn’t even been close this year
Kaminski is drunk again, brilliant.
4 players let Davies through and least Zeefuik tried to foul him.
We are now playing at the level most of us expected we would this season.
Ah one behind already. That’s game over then. Mowbray doesn’t know how to turn games around.
Their player Davis looks a beast
Funny what a big athletic forward can do eh Tony.
We have a maximum of one good half per game.
And we have one good half of a season now.
Second balls again, we are nowhere near them. We are absolutely dreadful.
Absolutely devoid of any attacking creativity. Rothwell quiet, Brereton tired, Khadra pressing.
That Buckley chance was key. We score that and we’re in control. Now we’re chasing. Season defining, I predict a terrifying death spiral.
Zeefuik really does not look up to speed.
You'd like to think that just once, we would turn a game round and make a statement...but we look clueless.
We're losing this in the middle. It was clear after the game against Hull that we desperately needed a better central midfielder imo (even with Travis back) and ideally rotate Rothwell/ Buckley. The January window was a massive opportunity missed no matter how you try to dress it. If we weren't getting a number 9 we had to get a CM.
He might take Buckley off early as he's been booked.
Zwwfuik looks like a pub player that can run a bit. Get Nyambe on
We simply do not look like scoring.
Brereton has been a shadow of a player since he got the 20th. He’s nackered.
Ayala needs to come back in, some leadership.
Team full of lightweights....Khadra, Bucko, Zeefulk, Rothwell....all soft
Look so devoid of ideas up top, slinging the ball in without looking and hoping it falls to one of ours , when we do fashion a chance it’s snatched and away. Not good enough really
We’re playing like we’ve never met before. And have done since the turn of the year. Back to the same old sh*te from last season
Rothwell passing when he should be shooting.
And Brereton should have done better with the cross from Giles.
Looking woeful up front.
May seem harsh but if we lose here I'd be looking at options for a new manager. Continue like this and we won't even be in the hunt for the play-offs.
We’re making this Davis lad look like prime Drogba.
More Henry the way he's dribbling past the static cones.
The defending is comical. How did we go on that unbeaten run.
Someone summed it up earlier. We’re playing like everyone expected pre-season. It’s just deflating given we someone worked our way up to 2nd.
Turgid stuff again. Absolutely no ideas going forward. Defence looking shaky too. This is more like the Rovers we've been used to over the past 10 years.
Top 2 disappearing very quickly. Conceding the first goals means we won't win.
Zeefuik has been woeful.
And the defence is all over the place. How have we gone from so organised and cool to a nervy mistake making mess.
We are absolutely wank.
What's going on at the back here? 6 players run to the ball and NONE of them get there!
Can we also stop diving all over the place! It’s embarrassing
Could be wrong but the midfield look light weight and lacking pace also missed goal scoring chances dies tend to change games a but like the last night. Once again hope I am wrong but it look like being another one if those nights
My God that was terrible. As another poster so aptly put it, the one big question remaining now this season is can we hold onto 6th place? On 2022’s evidence - not a fecking chance.
I think the “we are going up” rovers fans really are in for a shock over these next few weeks….we could literally be mid table in the next 5 games….
Getting abit sick of Buckley and these missed opportunities…we need Dack back and fast
58% Possession for us, we don't win when we have more possession, they obviously have us worked out.
Well, the manager who gratuitously dropped arguably our best defender is getting exactly what he deserved.
Those of us supporters who want to see us give ourselves a chance by putting our best eleven players out on the pitch, not so much so.
I think the reality is we're overachieving and being found out... it was never going to last, this is why January was so important. It's a miracle we are where we are and had to take advantage of that by spending. We didn't, end of story.
Cooper is really good manager, way too clever
He is isn’t he.
I think there 3rd in the league, and above us, in matches since he took over. They were in the relegation zone when he was appointed.
2 seasons at Swansea in the playoffs and he’ll be there again with Forest this year.
He makes Moanbray look cheerful.
But he is a decent manager that is a given.
I just feel utterly deflated and disappointed. The position we got ourselves in was brilliant. Since has been anything but and it feels like our own doing.
I can’t see this side finishing in the top 6. We’ve lost the fundamentals and what got us into that position:
- dynamic counter attack. Not basing our ‘game’ on possession.
- clean sheets based on disciplined defence and defenders knowing their exact role
- Brereton has dried up. Probably fatigue, maybe been found out
- TM not being able to think and tinker
The crap January window didn’t help. More of a concern is the gamble the club made in not cashing in. We will now lose 3 key players for nothing this summer and no doubt replace with lesser.
This was the season to go up and unfortunately TM has blown it. He’s undone all of his good work in getting us there.
We need a massive step up second half. This first half has Bern abysmal. Our wing backs been terrible.... just a waste. Cant say Forrest impressed me. Its Rovers that are totally lost. Time to step up big time..
Agreed, the wing backs aren’t working at all. We probably need to change the system.
Rovers have reverted to what we have been for the past few seasons ....... an average mid-table team. We were always punching above our weight in 2nd place but the play-offs will be a distant dream too if Tony doesn't sort this out
One players we need is Davis …what a unit he is!
The commentator better not say the infamous "no changes at the break" line when the second half starts. I'll break the TV
