Great. Bring Flanagan on who can't win a tackle or get his foot in and it leads to a goal (coupled with awful defending again)

A fitting punchline to the whole Preston/O'Connor/Wilson/Donnellan fiasco. Boyle has joined Doncaster today.

Merson-esque.

Pointless even sacking the clown now. Even a exceptional manager would struggle to keep this squad up. Useless.

Shouldn't be a shock, Blackburn is 17 unbeaten.


Yep only surprise was our goal. No shortage of effort, they are just much better than us.

No no no - sack him regardless. I’d rather someone who knows what they’re doing be in place for the rebuild to get us back into L1

To reach this point in the season with this team is just bad management.......whoever is to blame should resign. I put it like that because we don't know what has gone on in the last few weeks. The failure to retain Wilson is looking to be a bad error.

Yep, a couple of what are fast becoming trade mark great saves. Could have been (still could be) a pan full.

No chance of any resignations I’m afraid - Wilson’s departure is only one of a number of serious errors with playing staff. The player management this past 12/18 months has been awful and It’s abundantly clear we have a manager seemingly unable to manage his playing resources

He gets rid of O'Connor & Preston and in January we have Chambers at CH?

The bloke is a fudge moron and needs to go NOW!

The board need to go NOW as well. I wish us fans could force a vote of no confidence.


Tell you what, am I SO close to telling the club to stick their early birds. 31 years and they've pushed me to this, somewhere I NEVER thought I'd get to.

I plead with ALL fans to protest. This club needs big change now before we implode.

Kouyar on for oztumer.
Very noticeable that neither oztumer or Whitney looked at each other or even attempted to shake hands...
