We're on it. I'm involved to some degree and the biggest issue I have is that last year we let things potter along for far too long when there was a perfect opportunity and for me we are behind schedule now given the club is at existential threat. Keep your eyes peeled. I want this happening at more games than not. The club is very likely to go under now I think. At best into administration. I personally will not be one of those who can sit there and say they did nothing about it.

Yep. Doubt we win another game tbh. Stoke and Middlesbrough now look like huge chances missed. That performance today was a disgrace. Not one redeeming feature.

No way back from that. That's a team going down.

Yeah we're done.

What a letdown after the other night.

This Wolves Villa game is eerily similar to Norwich Leicester 2020.

Really hope people don't forget the absolute state of this club just because Rowett does look a semi competent manager. This is about more than him and more than the players. Be there tomorrow. You don't have to do anything - just add numbers. King Power Out.

Crikey that has fallen nicely for Arsenal. You can never trust them to see it through though.

That's a complete farce. Just move it now.

Football's genuinely in the gutter if they win the Europa.

Bodo/Glimt make your unrealistic FM save feel realistic. What an amazing side. I really hope they get Sporting - because that's winnable for them I think.

Yep - other than their goal, which was mostly from an error, I didn't think Middlesbrough really created a great deal yesterday. The vast majority of our games this season we have created very little ourselves, normally scoring worldies, while being a soft touch out of possession. We were actually quite difficult to play through yesterday. Rowett does have a track record of an immediate upturn in results. I'm not entirely sure what happened at Oxford this season, but his record there last year was seriously impressive. Only lost 2 of his first 10 games - away at two teams who got 100 points, with the lowest budget team in the division, having taken over before the January window as well. I'm unsure if he'd ever be a manager to really kick you on but I think he's a good floor raiser.

I am more hopeful after last night to be honest. This isn't really a two horse race - I don't think Blackburn, Portsmouth and Charlton are entirely out of it yet either. It's the first time we've really put in a 90 minute performance and that simply has to be on the manager, because nobody has managed that all season. You do just know we're going to make it as hard for ourselves as we can though.

And a gimme three points tomorrow as well. Just can't see them being back in this.

I can genuinely see something like this - only Rowett would've likely been snapped up by then.

I think it's how terrible we really have been. On performances so far we're lucky to not be about 10 points off safety and nobody will convince me otherwise. The bar was extremely low. I didn't really feel positive after the Stoke game. I do more so after that.

I think you see numerous examples of players having a noticeable weakness so just assume that they make up for it in other areas. Because he doesn't actually contribute anything there's this assumption that he must be doing the unnoticed dirty work. I think Okoli benefits from a similar situation where people see the terrible passing and assume he makes up for it by being a solid defender, when he isn't.

There really is no excuse whatsoever to go down, or even be in a relegation battle if you've got him, Fatawu and James in your team.

I don't think he did a great deal wrong tonight.

Daka is bad and he isn't the long-term answer but **** me, I want him playing virtually every minute until full time at Ewood Park.

It's very annoying. Reminds me of how you're not allowed to say "too good to go down" when many teams simply are too good to go down. I do believe it to be true. Even the goal we did concede was an error rather than anything structural. Rowett's nothing fancy but I heard something on NTT20 in the summer about how he's only let in 2+ in about a third of his games as a manager and I can see why after tonight. I think they've stumbled on the right bloke here.

There is only so much you can do with the number of bozos in this squad but he does seem to have got us doing the basics a lot better. Raised the floor of the team. I'd sooner we had him than West Brom put it that way.

This was very much my feeling after Stoke but can't agree tonight. I'm so loathed to use this sentence with the history of it but I think if we play like that we'll be OK.

Best performance all season for me. You're never getting the finished article out of this lot but we've gone away to a top 2 side and been well worth a point - possibly even more.

What the actual **** are they doing with these cameras?
