Sorry for the late preview but I have been ill with the noro virus and have been projectile vomiting. I realise you won‘t want any details so just the one photo.

I just hope that the Leicester City players have been spending all week on the piss and are ‘doing an Arsenal’.

We need all the help we can get. What a pity we missed out on Jamie Vardy from Fleetwood. Vardy was offered to the Rovers but we said no thinking he was too ugly to play for the Rovers. Mind you if we did sign him we probably would have let him go on a free transfer. I just hope the referee is on the ball as Vardy is a specialist con man; he should be a target of Man United.

This is a truncated preview as I am typing this worried I may cover my screen in sick. I suspect I will have a similar affliction on Sunday afternoon as I watch the game on a dodgy channel. Fair play to the 2,100 Rovers fans travelling to the ‘Kingspan Sliced Loaf With Seeds Stadium’.
I predict a close 6-0 defeat.

Vomit Vomit!!

So here we are. Probably going to get a battering here as they are Premier League and aiming for 100 points in a showboat show.

4-1.

And after it becomes obvious we've already lost I think maybe some of you might join me tuning in elsewhere - Most probably to the Plymouth game to see if another team can save us from the drop.

Party on to 21st place with the Venkys. Get your season tickets now.

And me!
Its been dire at Ewood especially - I have no idea what our worst home season has been......but this must be close
Game of the season for me.......and we lost.......Our home defeat to Hull when down to 10men and playing for a manager that they "all" hated. If there had been a bit more of that "hate" in the last 12 games we wouldnt be popping valium like smarties today :joy:

S'funny isn't it but all those compliments from other managers etc about the type of football the Rovers played appear to have dried up since Eustace trapped up. There has to be a happy medium between flowing elegant football and pragmatic football surely?

If we do go down it’s probably the first time a team has been relegated without being in the bottom three until the final minute of the season! I’m feeling a bit nervy this morning. It’s going to be 2 hours of torture listening to the different permutations. COYB,

Its hardly surprising Drog
Survive or not......the football has been dire under JE at least with JDT there was an obvious plan/style and he had us purring at times (it was a joy to watch..I know we lost the game but for 30mins against Sunderland their players looked dizzy and if we had scored half of what we should, it would have had to be stopped by the ref for their Mental Health)
I agree you need balance and at least playing long ball at times gives the players a breather, JE doesnt seem to have any plan except "hope for the best"
I hope he proves me wrong....I do....but if we continue in the same vein next season - we will be down by Feb

The simplest version is if we don't lose we then stay up whatever happens elsewhere.

If the worst does happen then we need 3 results to go against us: Sheff Wednesday don't lose. Plymouth and Birmingham both win. It seems unlikely that 3 results going against us. As we have seen with our relegation fight - if was just as much about the number of teams below us than it was about the points from the drop. It's testament to that that we are on the final day with our fate in pour own hands knowing that if we get a positive result it doesn't matter what happens elsewhere.

In saying that. If you were to look at those games elsewhere individually you'd probably say each one in turn is quite possible - especially with this being The Championship. Will history repeat itself with that Wagner asshole that helped send us down in 2017 (by playing a reserve team against Birmingham of all teams in the penultimate game essentially letting their 10 men coast to a 2-0 win vs Huddersfield) doing the same again?
I have said in the 'relegation thread'. I think our fate might lie in the Plymouth game as Hull still have something to play for and their young manager seems more honest and is up for playing for the win right to the end no matter what the scores elsewhere (unlike Wagner), plus Plymouth are really shit (go take a look at their football forums, haha, they are basically questioning Wagner and saying their only hope is that Norwich will want to finish 5th instead of 6th and might play for a result - meaning Southampton in the play-offs instead of Leeds.
Who know which Sunderland team will turn up at home against Sheff Weds either. They are capable of winning and also rolling over.

20 minutes to go . . . tick tock.

Just realised, Leicester can also set a 'most wins for automatic promotion' record today . . . darn!

Vardy party! Guard of honour...highlights the embarrassment our club has become.

AND we're playing in YELLOW!🫣🤭
