Would need to see the team sheet before I could call this one, hopefully some more players available. Their form is abysmal , not sure Moore could survive a big loss here.

Might wait a bit this week before voting, to see how many more 'injuries' we have. Could be voting for a Town defeat for once - I normally just vote Town win by default, but I think Saturday brought me to the fabled 'end of my tether'!

If one or both clubs are not manager less on Saturday then this could the 'final nail in the coffin' for one of them.......They drew at home to Rotherham last time, DM's team talk will be to match it with nullify & low block tactics.

Worst team I've seen at our place, apart from us

I don't see how Moore's position would be tenable with anything less than a win. It has the feeling of Blackpool away last season, where we really should be winning this one, but I wouldn't be too upset if we didn't win and ended up replacing the manager.
That said, Moore probably knows this but reckons they'll keep him on if he draws. So he'll set up for a bore draw, again. 1-1, Helik to score from a second ball at a set piece, Blackburn to score just before or just after half time

Assuming we still have Darren Bore in charge then we might be able to park the bus and scrape a point.

Completely depends how we approach the game . Blackburn tried to pass out against West Brom and it cost them three goals . If we sit back they’ll pick us to pieces.
My team would be the below (depending on new signings). Use Thomas and Spencer to pen Blackburn back and Kasumu and Matos to offer a combative midfield .
Nicholls
Lees Hogg Helik
Thomas Kasumu Matos Rudoni Spencer
Koroma Bojan

With just one win in 9 games we can be fairly sure Rovers will be back to winning ways against the Terribles...it's what we do, or have done recently. particularly as we have one win in 9 games too..I'd love a rare Town win but i'm going for -
Rovers 1 Town 1 (Helik)
and the gloom continues...

Going away and getting a point would be a good result currently.
Rotherham away at Boro
QPR home to Millwall
Sheff weds home to Coventry
Birmingham away to Stoke
No easy 3 points for others in any of these games.

We need to try and win, at least. I think our chance depends on Bojan being fit, if he isn't then I fear the worst (as DM won't try anything different to change the shape and tactics).

When are we going to stop relying on other’s failings? It’s every year bar Carlos’s second and it’s bloody pathetic. |

Its such a ridiculously stupid logic too, what happens when we play Southampton away and those sides have easier games? |

Success is only ever good based on someone elses failures, we have a bottom half squad currently and that when the majority are fit, picking points up is vital a win would be amazing but we also need to be realistic. |

Probably a draw if it is.

Losers attitude. That’s why we are always down there. Moore shows no bravery whatsoever as witnessed by the ridiculous amount of drawn games - win one, lose one is better than 2 draws. |

Not sure there was very much mroe he could do on Sat against Plymouth to try go for it. |

They’ve conceded 20 goals in their last 7 games and you’re saying we’re in a position we must set up to not lose? Jesus the bar is getting lower by the week. |

Depending on who is available then I agree, if its the same squad as Plymouth game setting up to not lose and maybe nick it is probably correct, if we have others more attacking available then playing more on the front foot is the best approach. |

Just had a look. They’ve won one league game since the start of December (brizzle at home) and are on the slide but I still think the best we can hope for is a draw. Seen very little to suggest otherwise.

Not sure there was very much mroe he could do on Sat against Plymouth to try go for it. You are blinded by your support of Moore. He could have changed formation, pushed the players up, tried to get the players to shoot from range as their keeper looked shite, ask for more bodies in the box. No risks were taken like the majority of his games in charge! Could have gone 442, kept matos on and added wiles who at least tries to play forward (albeit not well). The club did loads of hard work getting people to the game this weekend and I’m not sure they’ll be coming back. The worst thing was he thinks we were positive, he must be blind. You say we have injuries, if we had Rhodes on Saturday I think we win that game. He’s not the answer but it’s pathetic that a club in the championship doesn’t have a striker on the pitch (which is on the club). Hudlin league 2 standard Kian league 1/2 standard Ward can’t keep fit so he’s pointless in this discussion Bojan - unlucky to get injured. Those options aren’t good enough. |

I really want us to beat Blackburn, but, at the same time I really want Moore gone as I don’t think he’s right for the club.
