Today's Football

[ClaretTony]

Swansea win

[ElectroClaret]

Rovers lose.

[bfcjg]

Such a shame we have blown.our survival chances as today's results are good for the bottom 3.

[kentonclaret]

Everton blown a lead at home to West Ham just like we did.

They aren’t safe yet. Luton have some good games at home left.

The Toffees certainly aren’t safe yet, as 1 of the 3 lowest scoring teams in the PL along with Sheffield United and Burnley they could find themselves in trouble.

[Ric_C]

Terrible day for Rovers

[ClaretTony]

Marinakis on the pitch at Forest apparently remonstrating with the referee.

[FCBurnley]

Terrible day for Rovers

Not that good lol

[Ric_C]

Southampton get a last gasp winner

Imagine us in the championship with Leeds, Leicester and Everton. Not against the realms of possibility

[ISpeds00]

Playing until Liverpool score again that's why

[Swizzlestick]

BobSykes must be gutted about today.

Yet to win a game under Eustace which is worrying for them to say the least.

[bfcjg]

I still think the 3 relegated teams will go up.

[ElectroClaret]

Agent Eustace.

[Goody1975]

If Villa win then it's setup for us again tomorrow, we should have no hope what-so-ever but the carrot keeps getting dangled, we just don't have the ability or determination to grab it.

That table looks a lot different with points deductions for Everton and Forest.

[Claretforever]

What a terrible day if you’re a Rovers fan.

Other than Birmingham losing all of the other results went against them today. Other clubs seem to be fighting but Rovers are sleepwalking to League One at this rate.

Not the first time he's taken it upon himself to go to a referee is it?

Next two games are Millwall and Plymouth at home, win them and they are out of it, lose both and they have to be favourites for the drop. A big week for the 22,000 (sorry 11,000) at Ewood.

that's it - could be mid table by next week
plymouth destroyed boro at boro
milwall are hit and miss

i cant see rovers winning many of their remaining games as it stands today

[NewClaret]

I know Tough old run in too.

[KRBFC]

Dyche must be under real pressure at Everton, not won in 10 PL games, that £30m centre forward looks an absolute dud too. £14m young striker on the bench hasn’t had a sniff either.

[NewClaret]

Very quiet this thread today.

Some notable absentees

[CrosspoolClarets]

Luton huffing and puffing but when Villa pass through them they look, in truth, worse than us at that one aspect.

Appreciate our problem has usually been dealing with chaos in the box from crosses rather than runs through the middle. I see Luton though as way inferior to Forest and Everton, even though they have both been terrible.

[Vegas Claret]

Rovers would be absolutely screwed had Smzodics nor had the season of his life

They’ll probably beat Plymouth, who are a bit hit n miss, but Millwall under Neil Harris are a bit of a different animal, 100% since he re - took on the job.

[NewClaret]

They’re not happy at all. 10 without a win.

Main complaints seem to be:

- lacking effort
- playing the wrong players
- no plan b
- players all awful

Sound familiar?

If they sack him they’ll be in much bigger trouble.

[Vegas Claret]

Southampton get a last gasp winner

or Forest

Look at the results today
Leicester conceded 2 at home to QPR
Leeds couldn't win at 10 man Huddersfield
Saints conceded 3 at Birmingham

Is it that these teams aren't that good or have the rest of the championship got better ?

Proper Dyche player

Big discussion going on over on brfcs forum.
Apparently, quite a few of their fans saw Szmodics and Eustace telling each other to "f**k off" after the game.

Brilliant
(If true)

Easy to play through Luton. They press high. Keeper keeping them in it

[TPClaret]

Or maybe not.

I hope you are using a VPN and have a virus checker

[Goody1975]

Over to you Burnley
2-0 Watkins again

[ElectroClaret]

Villa 2 up.

[Vegas Claret]

Over to you Burnley

behave

[TPClaret]

Could easily be 5 to Villa

[Goody1975]

behave

I'm not expecting us to get out of it but this is an opportunity to put ourselves back in the same area as Luton, Everton and Forest assuming they get points deductions. Bournemouth at home is as favourable a game as there is at the moment but so were Luton and Fulham.

[Goody1975]

H/T Luton 0-2 Aston Villa

we lost 2-1 at an awful Bournemouth team earlier in the season. They are massively improved and we are the opposite. They create a decent amount of chances but haven't been taking them, hopefully Solanke will be out. Even though I try to always find the positives I have zero belief in this side sadly, I hope I'm wrong though !

[FCBurnley]

Luton starting to get a few injuries and the luck they had earlier seems to have deserted them Still battling but you need the breaks

Their run in looks really tough as well. If they don’t get at least 4 points from their next two, which as you say are both at home, then they need to be very worried. A big couple of weeks for them.

We did and if we have any chance, no matter how slim to get out of the gigantic hole, then it has to start tomorrow.

We just want to see the players putting a minimum of 100% effort tomorrow and have a real go. Obviously this has to be in conjunction with defending like a professional team not under 16's.

A shot on target would be excellent as well!!

[ElectroClaret]

R*vers have a really tough run-in, culminating in a daunting trip to Leicester for the last game.

Hopefully, Leicester will still need something from that match and not be promoted and their players OTB.

Great header from him.

Everton fans expect more though and seem to have taken a dislike to him. A lot complaining about the €25m fee.

I’d definitely rather have Foster (when fit).

yep to all of that !

[Woodleyclaret]

Another foul on keeper ignored by useless Oliver
Luton are getting away with murder
Shirt pulling , over the ball tackles

[ElectroClaret]

Luton get one back.
1-2

Ha ha, we really have set our bar low now when we hope to, at least, have a shot on target How have we become so bad? You have to laugh or you'll cry (a lot)

[DAVETHEVICAR]

If Villa don’t pull their finger out
Luton will get 3 points

[ElectroClaret]

Equalizer.
Unbelievable Jeff.

[HahaYeah]

Buttocks.
