Just not my thing.

Who cares if other teams are being put down anyway?

Falls into same category as the ref is always against us etc

Results this coming week are crucial for us to stay in contention.
West Brom play Sheff W tomorrow, need that to be a draw or Sheff win.
On Wednesday West Brom play Blackburn, and Middlesboro play Sheff U.
With the other 3 teams one point above us having a game in hand now we will need to beat QPR, but if results go our way the defeat to Leeds might not have done too much damage.

How would Wednesday winning tomorrow help us? They're a point above us as it is

Because West Brom are 4 points above us. I think it's better to be 4 points behind 2 teams than 7 behind one team

Warne sacked by Derby

Warne sacked by Derby

Hoping they'd keep him, couldn't see him keeping them up. The new manager won't be able to bring anyone in. Strange timing!

I would have thought they would have done it earlier in the week rather than a day before their next game

 

[shmmeee]

Looks like we’re at least 4 off the playoffs after tomorrow with West Brom playing Sheff Wed. Feeling dirty hoping for a Sunderland win again too.

Could work in our favour, new manager bounce for their game against Norwich tomorrow.

Norwich and Middlesbrough will finish in the play offs

Norwich game finished 1-1 against Derby, good result for us in the end.

Easy mistake, they both start with a B.

Anything could happen of course.

Just had look at his success.

Surprisingly ordinary of late.

Blackburn stayed up on the final day and sold the Championship’s top scorer over the summer, miraculous to have them in the top 6 tbh

Just goes to show how good a manager Eustace really is, as much as everyone wants to say he's actually poor. Doesn't matter how you get results, and he was doing the business at Birmingham and now at Blackburn.

 

[robbiethemole]

They'll miss him and hopefully start falling away a bit now.

 

[b12345]

Eustace being linked to us when the job was open makes more sense now. Him and his agent probably been sniffing around for a move for a while

 

[David O'Day]

be interesting to see what kind of people go for the blackburn job now

 

[Mr Panda]

Lots of Rovers fans saying it’s about the money but the link to us and now Derby probably means being closer to home is his priority.

Handbags from Blackburn that.

 

[Tommo1993]

It’s pretty much done then.

 

[shepardo01]

Handbags from Blackburn that.

Doesn't help us tomorrow - they'll be in disarray - ideally want a draw or them to win (I think!- stops West Brom pulling away)... Not sure they'll have the fight in them!

Derby despite recent troubles is a bigger club than Blackburn

The fact that Eustace sees Derby as a better project than Blackburn, given their relative league positions, should be alarming for the Blackburn board. I can't imagine they'll change though, they drove Tomasson out as well.

 

[blunted]

Blackburn owners are really bad. They are a small town team punching above their weight. Low gates and poor income streams. There is limit to what any manager can achieve there.

Reading their forum the majority of their fans support Eustace and think its the club trying to pass the book. The signings they talk about are all loans and free transfers. Many think the club will end up in liquidation with their owners

Waggott still running things there, majority of their fans hate him.
