Just for once, all those who like to dictate what people can post STFU. Keep your head. Believe that is a free country again today. 

What are you even talking about? You seem  to have contradicted yourself with your own posting. 

Just for once, all those who like posting negative comments STFU. Keep the faith. Believe that 3 points will happen today.

TBF calls for Johnson to go are centred around him leading us into a relegation scrap and on a record losing run; if we'd sacked him when level on points with sixth place, of course it would have been stupid.

The Rowett/Zola swap bares no resemblance to a form-based firing: that's is a 'new broom' situation where the money-men want their boy in.

 

I know it isnt the same situation, but I was merely illustrating how change often has an outcome which didnt achieve what was intended. There was no reason not to retain Rowett, but they knew best.

Just goes to show that changing horses in mid stream isn't often the answer. In fact in Birmingham's case, they were fixing a problem that wasn't there. 2 wins in 22 for Zola, but I'd bet there would have been people welcoming him as the new messiah here because he was a big name.  And as for Tony Mowbray, having a hand in two relegated  clubs in one season (if Blackburn go) would  be an unusual achievement. Better the devil you know as my old mum used to say. Mind you, her and Lucifer were close. 

Wonderful opener from Tammy. Not a scorpion, but a lovely flick from behind all the same!

And they say you can't teach a stupid young dog new tricks. Think Barbara Woodhouse must be mentoring him now. But whatever the reason, thank God the penny finally dropped.

Well I must admit to being pleasantly surprised. Starting a game with two strikers with over 40 goals between them at least gives the opposition something to think about.  I just hope that Tomlin has been told to give the ball to Taylor if we get a penalty.

Tomlin Abraham and Taylor all starting I'm told.
