Fantastic from Conor again! One of our top scorers last season but dropped by Bruce, yet Conor with his assist for Barny (vs Wigan) and his free kick today has made a huge contribution to our points tally with little actual game time.
Keep up the good work Hourihane!

Whoever this pundit is is the only one talking any sense on here.  Obviously not a paid-up member of the Fistface Fan Club.

Oh, here he comes...

Strange emotion when that Hourihane free kick went in, elation then that sinking feeling that it might have saved his job, I really hope it hasn’t.

Same here - and I would have taken defeat if it guaranteed getting shot of the clown.

So, apparently we’ve got six new players and he’s had the rebuild.

He looks to me like he knows his time is up.

The players look like they know it too.

I just hope it’s being strung out as long as it has becuase we’re busy sourcing the new manager.

I don’t think we should be under any illusions however - new manager or no, I just cannot see us going up this year. We’re just too unbalanced as a team/squad.

If he was going, he's still going. I'd be fucking stunned if 1 point and 1 goal at Ewood altered that.

Thought we played well overall we were the better side for most of the game. Still too many errors at the back exemplified by Grealish having to mark two players in one situation. Jedinak much better in midfield. Like the look of Abraham too. He will get us goals. Bolasie’s cameo, he looked sharp and showed a will with the challenge on the keeper.
Thought we stank out the county of Lancashire

As much as I was happy we scored another part of me thought "this gives Bruce another week".....

Reality is we haven't won a game since August 11th despite a pretty easy start to the season and we're barely above the bottom half.

On rare weekends when the top 2 both fail to win we simply have to step up but we saw another mediocre and stumbling performance.

We do need a change of manager and I hope this new ownership can be a bit more proactive rather than letting the season drift away.

The last few games it looks like the players were not putting much effort in, which indicates they are not behind him and his "methods".  I think Purslow needs to look at the performances since Wolves,
 the transfer window, the unbalanced squad, the shit football and the mediocre points return from a relatively straightforward start to the season, and act soon before the season becomes a complete write-off.
