Is it just me or do we seem to play EVERYBODY immediately after they replace a manager? No, I tell a lie - other teams are ALWAYS firing managers, one of the reasons why most of them are mired in the Championship. And here we are with another example of a club with asset-stripping owners. leeches
Things aren't going well now, but we just lost big to Leicester, so they seem worse than they actually are. Am confident that we'll manage a goal before 2028.

Dreading the Blackburn game, I don't see us scoring, let alone winning, making next week's QPR game a relegation battle. But who knows, we might score 4 and then cruise the QPR game.

For now, I'm going with your post because it makes me feel better and one cannot rule it completely out as a possibility given the way this season has gone.

If Eustace gets the Blackburn job before Saturday he will really want to put one over us after being rejected for the Stoke job.

Am confident that we'll manage a goal before 2028. It’s because teams know they’re going to beat us regardless of who their manager is. Makes more sense for the new manager to get an easy first game than for the underfire manager to pick up an easy win which makes it more difficult to sack him.

I'd love for someone to do a study on the whole of the Prem and Football League to see how many times sides have faced a new manager in their first game.
We'd be top, by a long way I'm certain.

Hes not been sacked yet has he? If a replacement was already found and can be in charge for sat then surely they would of sacked him by now.

Stevens. For me, the worst signing in a very long list of poor signings over the summer. If a “ know nothing” like me can take a look at his age and injury problems and see he was a risk not worth taking, why can’t senior figures at the club? Maybe someone can ask the question tonight…..

Midfield has to be Burger in his best position, Baker (because he has a goal in him and we can't score), and Bae.
I suppose if fit up front we have to hang our hats on Million and Ennis (they cannot do any worse), plus one (Vidigal for me)
Junior, McNally, Rose, Gooch.
Iversen.

I’ve got a good feeling about this one.
Mind, my recent track record ain’t great after bollocking a certain poster last Friday for predicting we’ll lose 5-0 against Leicester. 😞

Blackburn Rovers @rovers · 10m 📰 #Rovers have been unsuccessful in our attempts to sign Duncan McGuire on loan from MLS side Orlando City.
At a meeting held earlier today, the EFL Board has upheld the decision of the EFL Executive to reject our application to register the player.

"End of Feb, at least" for Stevens and his hamstring.
Couldn't have gone much worse for him. To pin the entire left-back situation on him seems bizarre, coming off his similar injuries last season

He's got to go with a back three.

Wilmot McNally Rose
Junior(RWB) Burger Thompson Million(LWB)
