FULL TIME: Derby County 1 Blackburn Rovers 1

THEO Robinson's 89th minute leveller cancelled out Jordan Rhodes' opener as Blackburn Rovers' winless streak stretched to five matches at Derby County.

Caretaker boss Eric Black restored David Dunn and Morten Gamst Pedersen to the starting line-up, while Danny Murphy was dropped to the substitutes bench.

Rhodes gave Blackburn Rovers a deserved half time lead with a clinical finish on 35 minutes.

Colin-Kazim Richards' right wing cross was nodded off by Morten Gamst Pedersen and Rhodes brilliantly volleyed low into the bottom corner from 20 yards.

Bradley Orr almost doubled Rovers' lead after a quick counter attack minutes later, while Scott Dann had a header saved by goalkeeper Adam Legzdins earlier in the half.

At the other end Derby rarely threatened although Theo Robinson should have done better with a free header that he sent over midway through the half.

The hosts started the second half a lot brighter and almost levelled on 56 when Rovers' defence switched to allow Paul Coutts curl a shot inches over the bar.

Rovers struggled to create much going forward as the game wore on but Derby rarely threatened themselves, as Black's men looked defensively solid.

Substitute Michael Jacobs saw a free kick deflected just wide, with Robinson beaten, before Nathan Tyson had a shot saved by the Rovers stopper.

Mauro Formica steered a shot inches wide for the visitors, before Derby deservedly levelled on 89.

Craig Bryson's low strike was well saved by Robinson but Theo Robinson was on hand to steer home the rebound from a tight angle, via Rovers' keeper.

ROVERS: Robinson, Orr, Dann, Givet, Olsson, Kazim-Richards, Dunn (Formica 68), Lowe, Etuhu, Pedersen, Rhodes SUBS: Murphy, Gomes, Rochina, Hanley, Ribeiro, Kean

Now its time to stop treading water and act accordingly before its too late. Get a new manager in and be sharp about it. Otherwise we will get stuck in this division

Second half performance terrible, pinned back most of the time by playing to deep. We are unable to keep a clean sheet irrespective of Hendry's so called defensive coaching - some players just going through the motions with no real commitment/spirit and we are definitely in need of a Manager with experience and passion - carry on like this with no hope of returning to the Premiership!!!!!!!!!

If that doesn't confirm what we already knew then I don't know what does.

BLACK IS NOT THE MAN TO MANAGE BLACKBURN ROVERS!

Do the right thing Eric and rule yourself out of the running for the job. Do it for the good of our club and don't put yourself in the same position as that lying drunk who employed you.

Nothing new then with finishing off games, same mistakes repeated again, under kean they invited pressure by playing too deep, dont they realise playing higher up gives you a better chance of stopping them from shooting and makes it easier to make crosses for the strikers., Black aint for Blackburn, we need a manager adventurous enough to bulldozer teams out of the way considering the resources they have.

I listened on the radio. Sounded like they did the usual and defended too deep after scoring instead of going for a second to seal it. This shows me that Black is no different to SK in that respect - wrong tactics again. David Unsworth commentating said Rovers could easily have got 3 or 4 if they'd played Kazim Richards in the middle with Rhodes and not defended so deep. Derby were a poor team there for the taking. Pedersen, Dunn, Givet, Dann and Rhodes did best.

Shocking failure to drive home a win when 1 - 0 up. Sat too deep and lacked confidence to go and finish the game. Get a MANAGER in and soon or we'll find ourselves adrift of the leading pack. Ollie NOW!!

Holloway and his coaching staff are suited to a club the size of Blackpool. We need a proper manager with professional coaching staff. We had those with Hughes and Allardyce. I'd welcome Hughes et al back if Rovers can reach an agreement to take over his QPR contract.

The drift, as the good ship Rovers slowly sinks, continues. Is there anybody on the bridge making decisions? The owners seem unable to act, after they punched a hole in the hull and pushed it out to sea.

100% agree, Venkys let black have the ropes and its slipt right through his and hendries hands be lucky to be in the play offs now, three point, was needed to keep us in touch with the top,very hard times ahead for who ever takes the managers job now. Venkys you have blown it once again to little to late.

I seriously think that the Venkys were waiting for Black to win a game and give the job to him. Unfortunately for them, Black is even more incompetent than Kean was and that really is saying something!!!!

Venkys might actually have to appoint someone and make a decision, the first they have made since they prematurely chopped Allardyce when we were 11th in the premiership. Its all been downhill since then!!

Holloway is favourite now but not sure he is right for us. He is a good manager at a certain level but not the guy to take us forward into the prem and keep us there. Not sure who will come but need them soon as Black cant continue....by all reports we should have blown Derby away today but didnt press our advantage after we went ahead. Surely Murphy should have got on at some stage too...hope he responds in the right way to the putdown..

Another game that could have been won at a canter with the right coaching staff in place.
I honestly believe we could have had a 100% record with a decent manager
This league is s***e!
The players we have seem to be playing at 60% of their potential, that is the problem along with negative tactics, sitting deep and inviting pressure with a one goal lead(very poor)
Get a strong manager in place ASAP venkys
although I have zero faith in you doing this.

Venky's what a hapless incompetent set of idiots. As for Singh with his shortlist of prospective managers. The truth is they were hoping for Black to get a win and appoint him. They do not have a shortlist and they will have trouble persuading any decent manager to work for them. Their complete inability to take the correct decisions in relation to the club is mind boggling.

Sack Black, Hendry and all the cronies. Earlier comments about bringing in Tony Parkes are spot on but Tony has more about him than to have anything to do with Venkys and Singh. I do wish he would prove me wrong. Who knows, maybe QPR will get pasted again tomorrow and Hughes is available. But again would he associate himself with Venkys, I think not. Maybe the plan is to get us so sick of Black that Singh can worm his way into the managers post, I would believe anything at Ewood these days.

Absolutely spot on post.
Sam was ok taking over a good squad and getting 100 % off them but his quality of football was awful.
Never a plan b when we went behind playing hoof ball. I heard so many people say they'd rather we were down a division playing better football than what was on offer from Big Sam.
Well we are down a division but the football is definitely not better. Everything from top to bottom in the club is worse.
He was also very arrogant with it as well, a puppet on a string for his master Fergusson.

I'd love Highes back but it ain't gonna happen.
Who we get in is going to be a gamble but it needs to be done quick because we are sliding in the wrong direction in the league.

We have a quality finisher up front in Rhodes who will score given proper service but he needs a pacy striker with him for him to feed off.

It's not rocket science.... Unless ur name is Black, Hendry, Venkys or Singh.

Shebby apparently set Steve Kean a target of 16 points out of the first 7 games.

Our caretaker manager Eric Black has now won just 3 points from a possible 12.
Thats 9 points dropped which could well be vital at the end of the season.

The Board must show some urgency and make an appointment soon.

We gradually slipping down the league in a free fall situation,it is said that before the season started that we had the strongest squad capable of going straight back up,I don't think so we have a rag bag collection of of god knows what and nobody that can at least galvanise them into any sort of formation.Holloway isn't looking to good at the present moment and I'm at a loss who to suggest or who would want to work with this lot it's not looking good and if some answer does not miraculously come I fear us dropping even further into a untenable position,a curse on those bloody ignorant Venkys who have robbed the town of its Club.

Agreed Eddie the eagle - the players are just not good enough and to think what would happen if they got back in the Premiership.

I fear for the worst because personalities seem to be more important at Ewood than application and commonsense.

Shebby is sadly proving he is as inept as the other Venky folk at Ewood - GO NOW if YOUR PRIDE gets in the way

So out of the fort knox of a defence that Big Fat Sam assembled it turns out the only one he signed is the only one nobody wants to buy and has contributed to us having the worst defensive record in the last twenty years. And your point is???
You are obviously devoid of football knowledge and I sugest in future you support west ham where there of plenty of hooves for you to put vinegar on. HOOF. BALL HOOF GOAL. MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Agree100% riversider. Now Mr RuINSANE,hughes may well have signed them mr insane he may well indeed Mr unsane but it was BFS managment skills that knitted them together and make them highly respected in football and one of the best defences in the PL before he was sacked.
Was that before,during, or after the 7-1 mauling by Manure?? could have sworn hughes beat then twice in a season with the same players.
I suspect you became a Rovers fan after Mark Hughes left otherwise you would know how sh1t Sam had us playing with the same players.
Well your suspicions are clouded in sh1t 44 years all told and i have seen some sh1t far worse than BFS , oh and you forgot that other big defensive signing, that one that every body is so desperate not to leave the club now that other hughes signing, gael givet?oops sorry BFS signed him, thought i would POINT that one out to you as you forgot,like i said after putting together sorry knitting together with givet BFS left rovers in a very comfortable position and given the fact BFS never had the financial backing that hughes had and venkys giving keanochio substantial backing had, that no manager has had since walker backed kennny i would say he did the best he or anyone else could with minimal financial backing, infact it was next to nothing comparing other managers,thats my opinion, sh1t football or not you only have to look and see were we are now from those misserable days with allardyce in the pl,oh yes were all a lot happier now? roger and out.
So out of the fort knox of a defence that Big Fat Sam assembled it turns out the only one he signed is the only one nobody wants to buy and has contributed to us having the worst defensive record in the last twenty years. And your point is???
You are obviously devoid of football knowledge and I sugest in future you support west ham where there of plenty of hooves for you to put vinegar on. HOOF. BALL HOOF GOAL. MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Do you have Bovine spongiform encephalopathy? MOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Are you trying to wind everyone up at the moment. Everyone knows Sam's football wasn't pretty but we also know we wouldn't be where we are no if he hadn't been sacked. At the time we weren't big spenders so Sam did what he knows best, position football rather than possession football. At West Ham he has been given a bigger budget and he is getting results. What exactly do you want........... Kean back?

Let's face it the chance of an automatic return this season is remote, the mess the previous coach together with the incompetence by the owners means, at best, this season will be for rebuilding the squad. We are just not good enough to compete for the top in this league, too much quality let go! A play off spot 50/50 outside chance! As for the comments re Sam, he is probably the best we had for several years, he plays the style and percentages as per the resources available to him and, in most cases gets results above the level of investment given to him. Yes I would say the without a doubt one of the greatest blunders in football management history was made by the silly pluckers and their incompetent agents in getting rid of sam. What clowns!

Spot on KORI, and as runinsane usually does he reverts to abuse and attempting to put fans down for having an opinion that doesnt' suit his own little bubble world,its common knowledge at the end of the day you get what you pay for in the football world in BFS case it wasn't alot as you said bigger budget better results and play have moved west Ham up thePL table.Sadly runinsane has got the biggest void of all no football brain to understand what 99%of rovers fans do understand and aknowledge.

I'm just over the big Sam love fest, he's gone, he aint coming back. You're like a bunch of folk singers going on about a dog you used to have 25 years ago.
If big sam were here w'ed be this, if big sam were here we'd be that. Well he aint here hes gone and he aint comin back. And when some turkey comes on here and says we won the league in 95 with big sams team, exaggeration I know but you get the point, I will correct his big sam love fest. I tell you what big sam did foe Rovers, he successfully avoided relegation for three years. Thats it, thats all he did. HE AVOIDED RELEGATION.

Sammy Lee was in charge of the youth set up at Bolton ,and was asked to look after the first team until they appoint a new manager, prior to this absolute interim appointment little Sam was only responsible for the youth development.
At Rovers we have a assistant manager and then his assistant that are not interim but are in fact trying to get the managers job, it is a different scenario.

LEE HAS NO INTEREST IN THE JOB AT BOLTON FULL TIME ,BUT BLACK AND HENDRY ARE DESPERATE FOR THE JOB BUT HAVE PROVED THEY ARE INCAPABLE OF DOING THE JOB.

Are you trying to wind everyone up at the moment. Everyone knows Sam's football wasn't pretty but we also know we wouldn't be where we are no if he hadn't been sacked. At the time we weren't big spenders so Sam did what he knows best, position football rather than possession football. At West Ham he has been given a bigger budget and he is getting results. What exactly do you want........... Kean back?
What is it with you lot.
I'm just over the big Sam love fest, he's gone, he aint coming back. You're like a bunch of folk singers going on about a dog you used to have 25 years ago.
If big sam were here w'ed be this, if big sam were here we'd be that. Well he aint here hes gone and he aint comin back. And when some turkey comes on here and says we won the league in 95 with big sams team, exaggeration I know but you get the point, I will correct his big sam love fest. I tell you what big sam did foe Rovers, he successfully avoided relegation for three years. Thats it, thats all he did. HE AVOIDED RELEGATION.
So whats me pointing out the cold facts got to do with wanting Kean back. Now you are talking out of your arse.
And as for alfa111 popping up and saying yeah, yeah go on you tell him like a big girl. All he has to do is stop typing bollax and I will stop correcting that bollax. HOOF MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
It isn't a Big Sam love fest, however sacking him was the point where it started to go wrong. I remember when he was dismissed I said it may or may not be a good call depending who we brought in...........oops.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing isn't it? Forcing Kean out may be a mistake depending on who we bing in. But it still had to happen. He had a 70% win ratio in the championship and now we are clamouring for someone with a 40% win ratio. You all come on here with your Big Sam T shirts on saying the hoofball wasn't important and it was results that mattered, and yet you are glad Kean is gone who had a 70% win ratio in this division and you say his football was dross. I GIVE UP. Selling Phil Jones was a mistake that could cost us this. The biggest mistake in the last 10 years was letting Freidel leave but if we keep saying it on here does it make us look good?
No it shows our inability to move on.
HOOF MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOV
E on.
Simon Grayson please, hes better than Holloway.

My sentiments as well.

Stringing loads of defensive midfielders across the pitch sacrifices goals but doesn't seem to add much in terms of clean sheets

Better off winning 5-3 with Kean

I thought at the beginning of this season that we could well be facing another relegation battle. Almost every game this season we have refelected on either a fortunate win or draw, or a defeat we deserved at the hands of Wolves and Boro.

The games we have won in particular against Leicester and Barnsley were very fortunate and lets face it, if it wasnt for those six points we would have been in serious trouble.

We are carrying too many players who either aren't good enough, or aren't putting enough effort into their training of the matches. We need to sort this out and fast, or we will sink into the abyss.

Yes me to, but when you sack agood defensive manager like BFS and then sell off the defence he put together these things do happen dont they, happy days though HaHa.
Stephen Warnock, signed by Mark Hughes, Martin Ollsson, Signed by Mark Hughes, Christophe Samba, signed by Mark hughes, Ryan Nelsen signed by, oh go on then lets guess, Mark Hughes. I'm see all those defensive Big Sam signings that we sold got us relegated. Can you point them out for me? I'm sick of this unjustified big Sam love fest. Did he sign anyone of any note at all? even Phil Jones was signed by Hughes. Did Sam sign anyone?
Just look at the league tables. West Ham United now 7th in he Premier League Blackburn Rovers now 0th in the Championship Enough said.
Agree100% riversider. Now Mr RuINSANE,hughes may well have signed them mr insane he may well indeed Mr unsane but it was BFS managment skills that knitted them together and make them highly respected in football and one of the best defences in the PL before he was sacked.
Was that before,during, or after the 7-1 mauling by Manure?? could have sworn hughes beat then twice in a season with the same players. I suspect you became a Rovers fan after Mark Hughes left otherwise you would know how sh1t Sam had us playing with the same players.
Well your suspicions are clouded in sh1t 44 years all told and i have seen some sh1t far worse than BFS , oh and you forgot that other big defensive signing, that one that every body is so desperate not to leave the club now that other hughes signing, gael givet?oops sorry BFS signed him, thought i would POINT that one out to you as you forgot,like i said after putting together sorry knitting together with givet BFS left rovers in a very comfortable position and given the fact BFS never had the financial backing that hughes had and venkys giving keanochio substantial backing had, that no manager has had since walker backed kennny i would say he did the best he or anyone else could with minimal financial backing, infact it was next to nothing comparing other managers,thats my opinion, sh1t football or not you only have to look and see were we are now from those misserable days with allardyce in the pl,oh yes were all a lot happier now? roger and out.
So out of the fort knox of a defence that Big Fat Sam assembled it turns out the only one he signed is the only one nobody wants to buy and has contributed to us having the worst defensive record in the last twenty years. And your point is??? You are obviously devoid of football knowledge and I sugest in future you support west ham where there of plenty of hooves for you to put vinegar on. HOOF. BALL HOOF GOAL.

As Big Sam moves further on up and away from Rovers, his former critics get even louder and obnoxious. Being loud and obnoxious does not mean you are correct. The league tables do not lie.

Selling Phil Jones was not a mistake he had a clause in his contract so we had no choice. Replacing him with Dann was the mistake. To explain my previous comment I assumed that when Sam was sacked Venky's were looking to bring in a big name manager. As it turned out they would go on to run the club as a profit making machine. This meant they needed a manager who works well in the premier league with limited resources and the man best placed to do that was the one they had just sacked .....DoH. Obviously we all want Mourinho and a 500million budget but on a shoe string who exactly do you think we should have employed? Over to you.............
