FT: BLACKBURN ROVERS 1 - 0 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

[Steve the Tea]

It was like watching a Sunday League team. We'd turn Messi into a 3rd Div player in 6 months.

StT.

[Tuerto]

Well, hasn't everyone seen enough?

[Dave Blue]

They might score more goals if they attempted to score. Playing at walking pace around halfway isn’t going to be too successful.

[Pedro de la Rosa]

P!ss poor from Rino.

Crap footballer

[Pedro de la Rosa]

by who?...seems like we've had every shite manager there is

We could save 500k a year and get rid of Dalman… or we could go and get someone half decent. Wilder for example. He’s still stuck with a shit squad but his rep has taken a dent from his time at Boro

We need warnock but 15 years ago

[Pedro de la Rosa]

tbh it should be one of the worst over most of that time period, we would have been relatively big spenders in this division from about what 2006 until 2021, now we are in the bottom third of playing budgets.
yes we are crap right now but I think a better manager could get more out of these players.

Which players are good enough for a midtable Champ side? I think the 11 that started Vs QPR, plus Davies is about it… and I could easily be persuaded on some of them that they aren’t up to it

[blue lewj]

I don’t disagree but can’t change the owner, board or the players. The manager is the only thing we can change and he’s clearly not part of the solution.

Why can't you change the board? The owner can do what he likes. He's done it enough.

We could do something player wise if the board hadn't fought the Sala case and thought that an embargo was the preferred option.

If they change the manager again it will be somebody cheap, not at a club currently or not in demand because let's be honest who would work under this board and owner.

[Don Corleone]

It’s a shame as Hudson seems like a nice likeable guy, was very good as a player for us and inherited these players, it would be great if he could succeed with us but you’re right , we have to change something and he is the only thing we can change right now

Wilder

Our board probably don't know who he is.

[Rjk]

We need warnock but 15 years ago

Warnock is a big part of the reason we are in this mess

[WJ99mobile]

Etete would have been a far better option today shame he didn’t play

[Pedro de la Rosa]

Board, back room staff, coaches and managers all have to go. For a start, they’ve pissed Tan’s money up the wall. I don’t like Tan but at least he’s stumped up the cash while his cronies have wasted it

He's a good guy and he's doing his best but this is high pressure and he doesn't have the experience

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

Well when he left were we tumbling towards relegation ?

And I do.

[splott parker]

Very unfortunate with the goal, 0-0 would have been about correct. Blackburn were certainly no better than us and were beatable. Frustrating that we did have a few decent chances, Rinomhota shitting out of that header was a case in point. Blackburn 3rd! A stark indication of this division’s quality. Oh for someone to put the ball in the net.

[blue lewj]

He put them there though.

If they have and continue to do so and he doesn't act then whose fault is that?

[Dorcus]

Red Revenge!!

Yes I think so: and I'm blue with anger.

[Hilts]

If we had Flint and Morrison wed have probably won today. Thats how bad Blackburn were.

Not only do we play crap ineffective football we are also a soft touch.

[Tuerto]

None of them. We've seen enough of this crowd and they don't have the ability or desire to pull us out of this mess. Something isn't just going to 'Click' these players are beaten in every sense. We create nothing, we can't control midfield, not even for a minute, we don't play runners, we don't play through the middle, Wintle and Ralls aren't mobile enough or good enough. We have brought in players who lack character, apart from Robinson, o'Dowda and maybe the goalkeeper. Hudson is at a loss, The owner isn't interested and we have had a succession of cheap useless managers. What's the plan out there-what are we doing that offers some hope? We are so desperate that we pin our hopes on Colwill and Davies, that's how screwed we are and that's how far we have dropped off.

[Dorcus]

And I do.

Only enough to save us from promotion though. To achieve anything decent the squad would have to be overhauled almost completely.

[Tuerto]

Wilder

Our board probably don't know who he is.

Of course they do, See no Evil, Hear no Evil is one of Tan's favourite fims.

Available for after dinner speeches and motivational talks 😂

[Rjk]

Well when he left were we tumbling towards relegation ?

in his entire time with us we had parachute payments or premier League TV money, and we wasted it all on players who were too old, or not good enough or both and gave them long expensive contracts that we couldn't get out of.
we had a period there of several years where we literally had 3 times the operating budget than the clubs we were competing with and we were left with nothing to show for it
