Not sure we should be throwing Lawler in
wonder if Goutas will have another assist for one of their forwards like he did v Luton. A fecking flypaper would be more useful in defence.

Now if her old man, Frank, was coming round that really would be in the realms of fantasy. But, even though he perished at Munich, it’s still more likely than a win at Blackburn.

Re: BLACKBURN ROVERS v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
These stats are not encouraging:
- Blackburn Rovers have only lost one of their last 12 league games against Cardiff City (W6 D5) and have beaten them in three of their last four meetings (D1).
- Cardiff are winless in their last eight league visits to Blackburn (D5 L3) and have lost each of their last three at Ewood Park. Their last win at this venue came in December 2012 under Malky Mackay.
- Blackburn Rovers have won three of their last five home league games (D1 L1), with two of those wins coming under John Eustace and one under caretaker manager David Lowe.
- Cardiff City have won only one of their last 20 away league matches (D9 L10), beating Watford 2-1 in December.

I sense a degree of negativity towards this coming fixture.
I feel some have forgotten we have already won 4 games out of the last 24 games , law of averages we must be due another win .
Unfortunately after Tuesday night, other than the law of averages ....................

Can I refer you to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_averages
Particularly "As invoked in everyday life, the "law" usually reflects wishful thinking or a poor understanding of statistics rather than any mathematical principle."

Under the law of averages it’s surely more likely that Taylor will call round tonight?

I’m a big fan of wishful thinking when it comes to Cardiff City Football Club.
Reality is way too depressing!

Re: BLACKBURN ROVERS v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Taken from the Blackburn Rovers forum....
"0-1 Cardiff. We are thoroughly enjoying giving relegation threatened teams a lifeline at the moment, and I suspect a number of Rovers players have downed tools for the season."
"We aren't winning this game, nailed on loss"
"Hard to even see us winning this game"
"Cardiff will be well up for the physical challenge, which concerns me, personally"
"We're going to lose, probably 1-2 or 0-2. Won't be watching after the last 2 shitshows."
"We’re now much worse under, it seems, a really poor manager."
"Third game on the spin against a bottom 4 side so we will wrap the 3 points up in a big ribbon for them now."
They clearly don't have much insight about us.
We are NOT the kind of squad that rolls up their sleeves and fights tooth and nail.

I think they've got that bit right, which is the only thing that gives me any hope for today - not that City are any good, but that Rovers were over-achieving under Eustace and they've brought in Ismael, who failed badly at West Brom and Watford.
His results so far at Blackburn:
1 - 1 v Norwich (H)
1 - 2 v Derby (A)
0 - 1 v Stoke (A)
Ismael's favoured style of football didn't work at West Brom or Watford, and it's not working so far at Blackburn. It'll probably be a bit of a culture shock for the Rovers players after producing some reasonably decent football under Eustace. Hopefully, they haven't adjusted yet.

And huge respect to them for the sacrifices the have to make by choosing an away day, like chores around the house, taking the mother in law out, shopping, dealing with the kids etc. I applaud every one of them...

I've had a feeling for a while that several of the players aren't playing for Riza. After Tuesday's "performance", I think they all have. If we don't win today, hopefully he'll be gone on Monday. Feck knows who we'll get in top replace him though....
