Matchday Thread: Blackburn v Rams

[MadAmster]

Admire your optimism, MA...but hope has to be tempered by reality.
The commitment of the players, the fans and the management cannot be faulted and we’ve got closer than I ever thought possible.
My major - realistic - hope now is about next season and the (increasingly forlorn?) hope that we can start it without a points penalty and without losing our youngsters or our manager.
Ironically it has been the hope that’s killed us, in so much as uncertainty about - rather than definite - relegation may have confused the situation where prospective buyers are concerned.
So, along with you, I’ll ‘keep the faith’, but honestly and realistically...I see few points (4 or 5) being gathered from our next five fixtures...and my hopes and faith are for a fresh start, a clean sheet and a decent owner in League One next season.

I'm not overly optimistic although the obese operatic orator has yet to start clearing her throat and until such time as survival is no longer arithmetically possible, the faith will be kept. They docked us 21 points, and we don't give a fooooook, cos we are Derby County, and we are stayin' up..... or so I was informed 4827 times at the *****ity last Saturday

The way this is going, LG1 may be a pipe dream
I think a clean slate is on the cards

Hmmm....well it’s twice this week, GP...and that’s twice more than you!!

[Geoff Parkstone]

Aye, MA, but if I repeatedly told you that you had three feet, when you know you haven't, would you finally go out and buy an extra shoe against your own better judgement?

I will have to create a second profile for myself to load up on agreements

You seem to be forgetting...you already have one...the one I much preferred.

Blackburn. 1 win in 11. Just 3 goals in 2022. Have we all overestimated them?

Oh God! I hate stats like that...we seem to specialise in ending other side’s barren runs. Really, really wish you hadn’t said that.
