Not sure what to make of yesterday's result. Rowett set out to not concede so this had 0-0 written all over it as soon as the team was announced and Olly Burke was in it. To say he's not very good is an understatement, the bloke wouldn't get in my old pub team and my old pub team was shite. All blue eyes are now focussed on Blackburn, hoping they can do us a favour so our fate is in our own hands.
Donmt know what was oging on with Woodman yesterday, looked like he'd been out on the piss! Hes a solid championship keeper, not outrstanding but good enough, but yesterday, he looked like he was scared of the ball
I see we lost, I find it hard to care. I want changes at this club from top to bottom, then I might regain some interest.
We’ve had this discussion before but I’d say since COVID the league outside of the clubs that got relegated has got weaker each season, and the gap to the PL is only getting bigger.
The gap between the promoted 3 in the other 17 in the Premier League is certainly getting bigger. Forest are only just hanging on and they replaced pretty much their entire squad on promotion. Covid has probably been a bit of a reset for how clubs go about setting up their budgets in the Championship. I don't know how much your clubs lost but we lost £35m, of course that was much easier to deal with as we were taking in Premier League cash and then PP. The British based players in the league are probably about the same but it does seem as if clubs are less likely to take risks bringing players into the league. I'd hate to think where we'd be without Sara, Sainz and Nunez (all signed whilst in the Championship) this season.
Anyone seen that screw up by the Blackburn keeper today? they just showed it at HT on the prem coverage
Relegation six-pointer and you give away 2 goals like that. If I was the manager I'd chuck the U23 keeper in goal.
Well that went well. The Blackburn keeper will never have to buy a drink in S6 ever again. I’d probably bring it to his table though as I’d be worried he’d drop it on the way back from the bar…..
Weird. Not the missed kick, freak things like that happen but he then just kind of jumps out the way of the ball as it’s going into the net. Looked like he could have still stopped it to me.
He hesitates cos he's unsure if he uses his hands he's handled a passback so he goes into spasm mode.
We don't even do ourselves any favours sadly! Sadly yes, rewatched it over and over trying to find some excuse, there is none! Have you seen Wahlstedt? Flaps at corners and crosses. This is what happens when you sell Kaminski (and before that Raya) and don't replace them. And the 1 at Ewood too. The ref spoke to him after almost like explaining the rules on if that happens. So frustrated with my team at the moment, talk about a massive rollercoaster of results! I want off! 5 goals past Sunderland, concede 5 against Bristol (and they were disgraceful goals again), beat Leeds and then that today. Credit to Wednesday, they just won't give up but this is painful for Rovers.
Just realised that the Wednesday owner is Thai, and having lived in Thailand and seen how corrupt the game is there I’m convinced he got to the Blackburn keeper.
