HOW much longer are the remaining loyal supporters to be subjected to the kind of inept performances displayed against Barnsley by the second-rate, overpaid stars at Ewood Park?

Brian Kidd, hailed as the new Messiah not long ago, but an individual with no proven managerial track record, seems to have lost the plot completely and we have now witnessed a club in freefall.

It is about time that the paying public were told what is going on at the club, because on the evidence so far there appears a total lack of unity, team spirit and leadership on the field, and no direction off it.

I would also find it enlightening if the medical team could publish a list of injured personnel, length of time injured, and the date when they might be available for selection, if ever.

I would suggest no-play, no-pay may be just the incentive needed to overcome those niggling strains.

We are supposed to be running a football club, not a convalescent home.
