Hope you’re enjoying it Sid

Madrid that is.

Needs to change things up for Blackburn.
Roberts in at RB, Gray for Kamara, Gnonto for James. Minimum for me. I’d probably even bench Rutter for Piroe.

Piroe is pants unless playing as the 9 and then he’s not mobile enough, playing him in place of rutter makes no sense.

Well playing Rutter at the moment isn’t making a lot of sense either. And for the record, Piroe isn’t an out & out 9 either. Russell Martin described him as ‘more of a 10’. He’s a mixed bag.

Apparently we’ve already had 6 letters of apology from PGMOL this season. Dare say there’ll be another in the post.

Rutter lost the ball 25 times v Coventry and he didn't look much better last night. He needs dropping for anyone at this point.

The weakness to Farke's approach is it's overreliant on flair players being in form.

I don't disagree or agree with his approach. Proof is in the pudding. Though I get the logic of playing patient football when you have exceptional attacking talent. Minimises opposition chances whilst you're still a threat yourself due to your attacking talent. Not an unsensible approach considering the squad and the numbers are pretty much as expected from such an approach being successful. Best defensive record, decent enough scoring record and many points accumulated. Enough to be promoted most seasons.

Problem is, when players aren't on form the system isn't going to win you games. It may reduce opposition chances but it won't help you create anything. Then you end up with last night. 90 minutes of tedious bollocks.

He ain't changing his system and why should he? It's got us above 2 points a game. But playing the same front 4 who are on their arse and his inability to change games is a shortcoming. His only method is to throw loads of attackers on with 10 mins left. That's inept.

He has tweaked his system before, like v Hull at home (choosing to concede the possession) or playing more direct when the opposition leaves gaps (though that's just common sense rather than a tweak). But he tweaks nothing when teams park the bus. He just prays Summerville will unlock the door. It just seems odd for a manager to watch 80 minutes of that shit last night and do fuck-all about it.

It was all far too slow and ponderous with negative passing sideways and backwards once again…

What ever the question, Piroe imo is not the answer.

This ponderous toss won’t get us promoted!!

At least Blackburn appear to be shit.
