  1. I used to know someone who worked at Blackburn and got us cheap tickets. Went vs Newcastle one year. Got us pitch side before the game and I was lucky enough to get Bobby Robson's autograph. If I remember rightly, Blackburn used to have a drummer and used to create a brilliant atmosphere. Can't imagine what it's like now though. Hopefully we'll get 2k+ there. 

  2. I'd say it's piss poor.

    Seen Scunthorpe and Fleetwood took around 500 away fans to their play-off first legs tonight.

     

    On TV, Thursday night, whatever. How can so few people be arsed about a play off game? Have we been that deprived of success or is that piss, piss poor?

     

    I'd say it's piss poor. 

  3. Coventry will go away thinking how they lost, but the 25 minutes between 50 and 75 are the reason they are where they are.

     

    I thought they were quicker to the ball generally and certainly rotated the ball better and more quickly through the top two thirds.

     

    BUT as soon as we started to press in the game they went missing. Mclaughlin, Green and Taylor started to drive at their back 4 and they just retreated and capitulated. It was only when we stopped doing what had served us so well that they came back into the game.

     

    We have to work on our defensive shape when we lose the ball. For all the stick SR got for the posession quote I can see what he is getting at. Our fullbacks are so exposed its frightening and we don't seem to recognise or sense where we should be dropping back into to alleviate the pressure.

     

    For all the talk of Ngoo, Mclaughlin was terrific through that period of dominance in the second half. His goal was the culmination of his positive movement and commiting defenders that created space elsewhere. His goal was the difference between the sides and thank god it was!!

     

    A massive three points from a tough game and certainly three we wouldn't have picked up a month ago.

     

     

    Bang on.

     

    We are actually capable of winning now and I love it.

  4. Unless the transfer embargo is lifted, it won't matter, but something had to change. 12 goals in 24 is only going to end badly....

     

    Sometimes a manager and a group of players are just not compatible. Most of our lot are absolute crap. Hopefully, Sheridan can get something a bit more out of them.

  5. Things are getting worse. I've lost being excited for games. I've lost even being nervous for games. I just know our games consist of dire performances with a rare glimpse of false hope once in a blue moon. Get rid. Not felt this low in a long while.
