Blackburn Rovers Post Match Thoughts

[harpo88]

The Red Button commentator summed it up tonight late on at 1 1 when he said "the Rotherham players are ignoring their bench and trying to nick a winner instead of knocking it into the corner".

Cowardly manager. I'm fuming. He cost us points tonight with his pathetic loading of the defence substitutions. 😡😡😡

The formation didn’t change. Maybe having to defend had something to do with the second top scorers in the league throwing men forwards and having one of the division’s top scorers, a hotshot on loan from Liverpool and someone who played 50 times for England to call on?

Sorry 35 not 50

Still waiting... What about you Grumpy, or Biglad? Let's have a constructive suggestion.

Hmmmmmm let me think! How about making the right substitutions at the right time? Like for like would be a good start instead of trying to defend against the leagues top scorers when we know we are better going forward and pressing teams.

So prove to me how a substitution led to their goal, which if memory serves me right came from a foul?

You want to take any opportunity to find fault. If Warne made a mistake I'm sure he would be he first to admit it.

There is no point trying to talk tactics if you dont know any.

I'm always willing to learn, but you've copped out.

The substitution didn't directly lead to the foul. It looks to me that Crooks has a habit of giving away needless fouls, possibly because he hasn't got the speed of reaction to compete with better players.

Here we go, the knuckle draggers have been told to go upstairs and play..

Does criticising Dear Leader upset you that much? If you cant see that his poor substitutions, and poor game management (as described by the match commentator), cost us points tonight, and that us conceding so many late goals is not just bad luck, then may I suggest your blind loyalty towards Warney has got the better of you.

Seeing, commenting on, praising and criticising the team is healthy. Just sticking your fingers in your ears and humming "I love Warney, hes our leader" irrespective of how he manages us, is not so healthy.

I certainly don't think anyone is beyond criticism, providing it's fair and constructive. I don't recall the commentator saying anything about "poor game management". Perhaps you are too suggestible? Yes, we do concede too many late goals, but if you look at the stats Blackburn also score a high proportion of late goals.

"Blind loyalty" is a crass comment, and I don't think my loyalty has got the better of me. But then you would know better, wouldn't you?

Who have got to bring on good enough? We are already a player short starting with Vassell. Harding & Ladapo that's your lot till next transfer window.
