Obviously I cant start rhyming off minutes in games where his positioning was off. And I dont think its a glaring weakness in his game and thats not what I am saying. Its more pointing out a positive that he has that recovery pace whereby his positioning doesnt have to always be perfect. Kyle Walker made a career out of it. I definitely dont think as a team that we are defensively as strong as last season. Thats to be expected considering who we have lost and an inability to fully replace. -

The international break might have just landed at the perfect time for us, to disrupt Coventry's current form. That's clutching at straws though really, if we are being honest. I think we're taking a humping here, 4-0 minimum. -

I have a weird feeling that Rovers might just do that; come away with all 3 points whilst deserving none. Then lose at home to Sheff Utd. -

Both of his tackles were from our corners when the centre halves were forward. Stoke got the first contact from the corner and countered. We weren't really pulled apart in a conventional footballing sense. Give me some examples of his positioning sometimes not being great. Having seen every game he has played I can't remember one occasion when he has been caught out through poor positioning. -
I dont think a lack of confidence justifies or explains a lack of effort in any way.

The problem is, such is our terrible start to the season, it feels like we really need to get something. Just cant see it. -

roversfan99 replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
The Alebiosu one in particular saved a probable goal. I dont think his positioning is always great but his pace is a really useful tool in making up for that. Compared to last season, it does feel easy to pull us apart in the first place though which is a concern. -

Yes I would take a point after 80 but overall its an average result that does little to allieviate our position. Obviously its down to results. I dont get why people (in general, not just you) get so aggy or unwilling to say that they dont think a player looks up to standard. Obviously that might change in time, its not an opinion you habe to stick to. People get really defensive and attribute it wrongly to not backing the players, there is a preciousness about it. If you was talking to your mate, surely youd be able to bring yourself to say x looks like a good player or equally y looks poor. We have our first impressions of players, but some people act as if its a crime to say if a player looks poor. -

Yesterday's match saw what I thought were text book examples in the art of tackling. Twice Alebiosu made terrific challenges with the added pressure of potentially being sent off if they were mis timed. Similarly McLoughlin made another perfect challenge to prevent Stoke breaking away. In all three the ball was won absolutely cleanly and gave us all a lift -

Coventry are one of very few teams in this division who look like the real deal. The difference between us and them is tragically vast these days, and the best we can realistically hope for is a smash and grab. -

When I'm at Ewood I never ever slag off one of our own players and have been disgusted when our fans have got at Wilcox, Lowe, Andrews, Bennett etc. But so far, from what I've seen, Gudjohnsen and Henriksson look awful players. On the other hand I think Tavares is a good player and once he finds his feet he'll be ok. -

Wrong here but until they been here for a few months/1 year, we dont know who will successful or not. To find the answer out will require time. All down performances and results Yes a good pointb after 1 nil down and still that at 80 mins. I would taken a point at that stage. I did asked you the question yesterday whether you would taken a point at 80 mins but you ignored it.. Every game is tough at this level and very unpredictable. We are due a win at Coventry anyway -

it appears to me that that laurel and hardy have found a tame manager in the mowbray mould,content to work with average players and bad ones,wether they will tolerate us being in the bottom three come christmas we shall see -
Post match interview sounds positive. Manager said he hasn't worked hard enough and so he came out to prove he can
