Got rid of twitter (toxic) and sky sports (expensive) and it turns out radio Lancashire can’t broadcast the commentary online! Anyone know of another way I can listen to the game? Otherwise I’m reliant on the LET live updates. Either way COYB

Hope someone at the club kept Ismael’s list so we can update it with the latest penalty call

Huge game today. First of two huge future deciding games in a row (no pressure)! Really hoping for a good result. We know we’re capable of it, now let’s get it done when we need it most

Gutted for Tronstad. He’s been a ray of light in an otherwise bleak few years

Would love a result today (in the voice of Kevin Keegan)

Fingers crossed the rovers official account heads over this way, and magical Morten the Japanese fan!

Saw a post on twitter that had a disgusting racial slur in it. I’ve tried very hard to limit the shite I see online and have it purely for lighthearted things (or Blackburn rovers). I reported the post, and just had feedback that it didn’t violate their rules. I’ve deactivated my account there.

Day 8 of not cutting my hair until Blackburn appoint a new manager

You’d like to think with our form over the past 2 months the hierarchy would have been thinking of a contingency plan so they’d be able to act quickly in the event Ismael leaves. We live in hope!

A transfer window that was essential we didn’t get wrong. If there was ever a time to invest it was now to avoid relegation. Instead it seems like we’ve tried to get deals and left it too late. I’ve never known more shortsighted senior leadership

Right decision, made long after it should have been, on a day where we should be focussing on something else, for the third time in three years, and yet the fans who are not professionals see it coming months down the line. Why aren’t the people in charge as savvy? Such a strange club we follow 😂

This season sums up the last 15 years really. People trying hard but not knowing fully what they’re doing. Such poor squad planning. I’m sure Rudy wants to do well. I’m sure lots of people at rovers have meant well over the years…I’m sure they want the best… they’ve just not been at the level needed

Dejecting watch. A team trying hard with little direction. Confidence is shattered. Can we ask Mowbray to see the season out for us?

Ismael has shown glimpses of what he can do, but there’s only so many times you can get battered, injury crises or not, before players and fans lose patience. Unprecedented circumstances but hard to argue against such a poor record. I’d say start again next season, but in what league?! Big worry

Was never going to be our year. Poor transfer business with little foresight. Sold experience and replaced with people who need time we don’t have. Genuinely feel sorry for De Neve and Henrickson as they’re thrown in out of position and because of an injury crises they can’t be protected

Donnum signing did sound too good to be true! Shame. I only really follow the accounts I think aren’t baiting so it’s a bit of a let down; but happy with the striker we did sign!

Ironic that a club who disregarded their women’s team should now benefit from a connection to a player in the women’s super league

From extensive Wikipedia research, his wife plays for Man United. New power couple of the northwest

The Norway flag teaser is exciting! Not sure which would be better out of a new signing or a Tronstad contract extension against all odds…!

Gueye was the best worst player we’ve ever had. Pretty poor on the pitch but seemed a good character off it. Still, I’d much rather a boring good player!

Whoops forgot we had to score as well. Wasn’t able to watch or closely follow the game and it sounds like that was for the best. Ah well

In Toth we trust

The injuries have jumped up a notch… honestly it doesn’t take an expert to have seen this coming. Tired small squad and asking physical demands of new players not ready for it. Behind the scenes at rovers there doesn’t seem to be the common sense any more in a lot of areas. Lack of leadership

The squad is knackered and decimated by injuries. Was always reliant on not going behind today as the bench has little to offer. This season should be about not getting relegated and getting the players up to speed for next season and I think we’ll be much better

Story of 2025: lots of effort but no cutting edge. It is what it has been. Here’s to better next year

Get Dlamini or Powell on, why not?

Shame Gueye has been frozen out, he’d have had goals in this game. I’m liking henrikssons industry but he’s not a striker

The anniversary kit has been dreadfully handled 😂 I’m not a fan of the design so wouldn’t have been buying it anyway, but such poor marketing and timing (and price!). Shame as I think the merch has been pretty good in recent years as well as the lovely kits and the AOF partnership

Feeling very positive after yesterday, a really wholesome win! Savouring this feeling after stewing on negatives following less positive games! Trying to follow that mantra of not too high not too low COYB

Good value for the win! Was a really pleasing performance and some great academy talent on show. Loads of potential in this team

Litherland surely can’t keep up this pace 😅 centre back / attacking midfielder / winger. Has he had more shots on target in 15 minutes than some of our other players this season?!

Been avoiding believing it, but we are in trouble this year. Bad luck and circumstances aside the league table doesn’t forgive. Just hoping we get a grip of ourselves and start to perform consistently the way we know we can

Oxford probably the poorest side we’ve played this season, and we weren’t any better! Lots of games this season you can point to great chances not scored that would have changed the game and we’ve suffered again. Opportunity missed tonight

MILLER LONG THROW CHANCE CREATION!

Very low on quality from both sides there. Still think it’s there to be won though… we have the ability to turn it around

Does this sort of thing happen to other teams as much?

Sickening. So so unlucky

I’ve been very impressed. The better team against a good side. Turn the tide with a win here. Hoping for a Cantwell winner (for justice) or a Gueye winner (for fun)

So which will it be, gifting us a goal or fielding ten players? If neither I hope the groundskeepers are liberal with the hose

Squad issues made much worse by the injuries this season. Some sort of curse where players get a slight knock and then out for months

Not pretty. Gudjohnson takes his chances and we’re 2-0 up so can’t be too annoyed. Normal order resumes! Not sure what people expect, that we’ll click and turn teams over? I hope for that too but we’ve got a lot of effort being put in just not the quality to match.

Team in transition. Missing 5+ first choices. We keep digging in and getting results when it counts. Of course it’s not perfect and there are lots of issues but all in all we’re keeping the lid on and have a platform to build on! Miller and Alebiosu unreal scouting. COYB

Set piece coach making their money there! Get in

Spirited fightback but lacked any real chances. Team obviously missing 4+ regular starters and the squad depth questioned again. Thought Montgomery looked bright and Miller solid. Everyone works really hard we’re just lacking a bit of quality and got outmuscled today.

WELL MANAGED!

Yes!!! Not pretty but finally doing what we know they can! A win is a win is a win, let’s think about the missed sitters another time! Hopefully this is the confidence boost we needed. The chances are there we just need to start believing

COYB

These Gueye comments are a worry. If he wasn’t effective in the last game it’s your job to coach him, not write him off (publicly no less).

There you go, I’ve lost my faith with Ismael there. Somethings got to give
