We didn't under the last manager, and we don't under the current one. Unfortunately our transfer activity in the summer was an absolute mess, and I still remain to be convinced that this is going to improve at all. So far he is a below average championship striker on top end championship striker wages. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

There is no need to be blasting balls because we all know they lift as we prove time and time again. Work the keeper. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I'd say it's understandable. were you expecting everyone to be full of praise?

DevKWat 2,370 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Nobody is saying the season is over but the top 2 is realistically out of reach now, the play offs have to be our aim but we’ve been very poor in the last 2 if we’re honest Link to post Share on other sites
Duvel 2,446 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Blackburn actually have pretty good support when you consider they are a fairly small town, they share catchment areas with lots of other Lancashire clubs and they are a short drive from Liverpool and Manchester where you have 4 giant Premier league clubs. I don't think we're any better supported to be honest. Link to post Share on other sites

The vast majority recognise that tonight was never make or break either way but to say we couldn't make some changes for the better would be looking at things with the good old rose tinted glasses. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

My expectation at the start of the season was mid table (10-16ish). We are flirting with the edge of the playoffs. Blackburn are a bogey team for us and they have been in really good form. Very few teams will win at Ewood Park this season. The ref didn't help, though... Link to post Share on other sites

Duvel 2,446 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Tonight was a great time to play Blackburn, they were missing their star striker and a couple of other players. The season isn't over but that's a great opportunity wasted. Mowbray did a job on Wilder tonight. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

chickenlunch 315 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 LWB is definitely a position we need to sort out, I just worry that we've already covered that by signing Taylor... he's a great player to have brought in to solve the injuries we had, but he's just not attacking enough to be enough of a threat going forward. We're becoming very easy to play against cos it all basically goes down the right hand side. Hopefully this new Australian can step into LWB.. I'm not convince Bola is particularly brilliant either tbh. Link to post Share on other sites
