The game is yet to settle down.

We're away from home on a midweek night.

Having run our asses off just 3 days ago. Away fro home.

We have a new coach.

We have players with heads full of new ideas, conflicting with what they've been instinctively doing for the last 2 years.

So we aren't going to play like Real Madrid tonight.

If we come home with a point, irrespective of the performance, then it's job done.

Well then that’s the head coaches problem. He shouldn’t make wholesale changes to leave the players confused; it should be a gradual transition. That’s ego

We are doing what Manning knows best the old Third Division boot up field and a mad scramble to reach it.  Dreadful

More nonsense.

[pillred]

Huddersfield 0-2 down to Preston puts our result into perspective.

[Buster]

We look like relegation candidates

[CityCiderEd]

Would love to see the stats on how many times we've just given possession back to Blackburn....ball retention is abysmal. Bell is NOT a bloody winger. 

[Jose]

Tell you what two lads in co coms not holding back.

Your opinion of course, but in my opinion Nige had a tight defence one of the best in the league. We are losing that under Manning.  Just my opinion of course

[Lew-T]

Well up until the red button packed up, we looked the more likely with the ball. But with no real cutting edge or threat.

There seems to be a theme here.

Typical. While we haven't posed a great threat we seemed to be controlling things nicely with a measured performance, then one decent ball and it's in the back of our net. 

that is all it takes. just 1 decent move, no matter how much control you think you have.

Luckily for us so do half a dozen other teams.

None of the happy clappers can tell me sacking nigel pearson was a good idea at this stage of the season, if hes a good manager,  play to the strengths, not just change the whole philosophy, pearson knew this.

It's good but quite dangerous to have Naismith laying in like this???

Not telling lies though!

I'm appreciating their honesty after years of RobinsTV guests (mainly Tinnion) toeing the company line and reporting on a different game to the one we're seeing.

Both Naismith and Wells constantly talking about a lack of bravery to make angles and options for a pass, leading to too many long balls.... the two of them know long balls to Conway on his own against two 6'4 defenders isn't going to work, so why don't the eleven on the pitch know this?

Thought that as well, but we have lost our composure since conceding.

Sign of great squad togetherness…

Cheers, Jon Lansdown. 

[petehinton]

Top 6 squad, best we’ve ever had

[marcofisher]

Can’t remember wanting the season to be over so early.

[MelksRed]

Louis Armstrong is playing christmas tunes on my record player.....now at the point I really don't give a **** about this shower of wasters.

A lot of excuses in there, heads full of new ideas ? its not really a very complicated game.  Not playing like real madrid ? have we ever ?  Still you seem happy enough with it and fair play to you.

Possibly because they are playing to orders

[Fordy62]

There is a benefit to losing. You just think of Crayon Boy and how much of a ***** he must feel. 

[Jose]

This is awful. 
 

For reference Blackburn are 18th in the home table. 
 

Thank the lord we got rid of Nige. 

[BasSavage88]

Jesus Christ this is a tough watch 

[cidercity1987]

I think we should just release the lad to Swansea so we can find a better fit as a replacement to Pearson.

Or just Pearson.
