I thought we did that first half! "Its only Armstrong, he'll miss!"

Agree with the rest but I dont think this bit is particularly fair. He was more happy than anyone on the pitch after the game. I think Tronstad has struggled a but this season, if you think back to last season he had Dolan and Brittain to the right of him, Travis next to him and Batth and Hyam behind him. I feels like he's trying a bit too much more this season as the quality around him has dropped quite drastically and its having an affect on his game. Still one of our most important players, just needs to get back to doing what he was so good at last season.

Here's my ideas. PRE GAME Statue Unveiling between the JW stand and Blackburn end. Game time Lining all down the JW stand, end to end, flags much like the Jack walker Cup flag, with Blackburn Rovers Legends on them. A huge flag resembling Rovers legends montage in the Blackburn End. A full cap recipetant honour parade. Pre came montage on jumbotron louder speakers showing our old footage to some classical music showing our great history. REALITY Same flags they bring out every big game. No montage no parade. Just the announcer saying its 150 years. Kick off.

It could but why was he allowed to train and play after reporting discomfort over two weeks ago. The timeline indicates he only had the scan at the back end of last week.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 we want our BRFC back VENKYS OUT! PASHA OUT! GESTEDE OUT!

Stopped in Bristol before the Worthy Cup final in 2002. Bit shit. Wouldn't let us in most pubs in the city centre. Ended up in the crappy back street boozers. Not been back since. Wouldn't recomend.

Bizarre that the details of Baradjis injury(or whatever the problem is) has still never really been addressed by the club

What's everyone hoping for come match day experience V what will actually happen match day?

Chris Crowe was playing on the right wing in my first ever game at Ewood. He came as quite an expensive signing but never really made the grade at Rovers. He had a good spell at Wolves afterwards though.

This kind of comment can apply to a lot of players, but if Alebiosu had power, pace, physicality as well as consistently fantastic distribution/final ball he wouldnt be playing in this division.

Yep 100% said the same, he's really come out his shell and found his rhythm certainly early his spot and can deliver some crucial balls into the box. His effort hasn't gone unnoticed, I'm quietly proud of him he's not your full on media bells n whistles player as we knew from the beginning quiet lad loves playing football, good on him 👏👏👏 stood and applauded his exit yesterday, deserved it

Its the Rovers way Tyrone...NOT ALLOWED!!😆

Give him some space and he can run past people. If a defender fronts him up he has to play the ball back into midfield again. He hasn’t got a trick in his locker. If we are going to play with a left wing back Ismael obviously thinks he’s a better bet than either of Ribeiro or Pickering.

Love this pic of Scotty and Gudders

Hmm all i have seen is him beat his man consistently and while his crosses have been erratic, but quite a few times he has delivered decent balls where the finishing has let them down. Hes done well for me. Obviously hes not Roberto Carlos but compared to the various wing backs or full backs weve had turn out for us over the last 15 years he doesnt seem particularly worse.

High point for me was when Miller, I think it was, put that Southampton player over the barrier. That was a John Bray style tackle. A real “ quietener “.

Well, Ismael has got a lot of abuse on here quite rightly over recent weeks in terms of his subs, calling out players etc. But christ he got them to worm hard yesterday. In terms of effort we were absolutely relentless. Generally across the season we've been pretty decent in midfield & defence; but then dont finish easy chances and give away soft goals from nowhere. Looked like that would be the story yesterday - luckily Armstrong was as poor as us with his finishing and we got a couple of scruffy goals. Hopefully the confidence that will build in Gudjonsen will make a big impact. Defensively it feels to me we really need Carter back as we miss his pace. I like Miller, very committed and physical. But when hes beaten he is not recovering, and you can say the same for Wharton and McCloughlin. I kind of expected the heads to go down, particularly when we went behind, so was really pleasantly surprised by how they kept going and going.

Is he definitely English and not a mathematical equation?

He is so one dimensional and lacks intelligence. He grafts, hes up and down and is fairly quick. But he just runs in a straight line and if he cant cross the ball doing so, he runs out of ideas, and when he does cross it invariably doesnt lead to chances.

We need more than one attacker and more than one defender to continue to play this way, well we need more than that anyway. Up top, we only have 2 and the 2 we have are really, really average. One stands on 2 goals, the other on 1. I thought Gudjohnsen was poor again until his goal, he frustratingly doesnt put himself about half as much as he should, or use his body. But we cant have 2 strikers for 2 positions. We also are devoid of pace in attack. Defensively, we have gone from being solid to being unable to keep clean sheets. McLoughlin is average, Wharton error prone and I am not having Miller. The balance of them with Wharton in the middle doesnt look right. And again, we have only those 3, Carter is a right off. So we would need 2 more there. The squad is so thin its untrue due to terrible recruitment. Where do you stand on Ismael now?

I really doubt Pears is on 10k a week. Hes never been a regular anywhere hes played. I can believe Toth is getting paid a bit less, but I would guess they are both around 5k-ish.

He did work really hard. He’s got no idea how to beat anybody apart from trying to just rum past them but the lad is a trier if some what limited technically.

Just a word on De Neve. May not be a world beater but he is certainly showing improvement on his earlier performances. Thought he worked tremendously hard as well. Deserving his place in the side atm. Also nice little cameo from Montgomery I thought.

They will 100% have Toth bookmarked along with the new right back as the next 'developed' assets to sell.

Can I just bask in the euphoria for today ? I’ll go back to being gloomy tomorrow I promise.
