An unexpectedly pleasant end to a torrid day (hangover and bad news are a lethal combo). Such a torrid day had me primed for a battering, but the golden boys were fully at it. I say that with the qualification that we are not a squad filled with quality, but there was a lot of graft and that’s always satisfying. Pratt got through a debut in a hostile environment, under the lights, in front of the cameras and a strong and vocal away following. Excellent blocks, little bit of naïveté, but I’ll be more interested in his future performances to get a measure on him. Deserves a pat on the back. Tronstad, Mori and Miller impressed me, but Hedges really was everywhere. I groaned entering Ewood for the Derby game and working out that we had him at LCB, but the fact is, he is our most reliable player right now and he’s got so much running in him. He gets a lot of grief, he deserves the credit for his performances recently. He’s clearly setting a standard of application. I like to think I can get the measure of a player early on for Rovers, but I couldn’t tell you what I think of Baradji. I’m inclined to believe he’s showing the signs of a difficult lay-off and will need a gradual introduction to Championship. No pre-season means you never catch up, so I’ll reserve my opinion until I’ve seen a lot more. Bit of urgency needed in his play by the looks. Friday night win makes the weekend easier, so I hope it’s as such for all of you.

Officials very poor tonight. We all screamed penalty for the hand in the face, how was it not given. As obvious as it comes. There's nothing extra to add to whats already been said about that potentially career ending 'tackle' except it was totally deliberate. Again officials gave nothing. Nob End started shit housing from the off, how many pushes in the back for the ref to actually see one. Shocking display, just pathetic. Good win. The two academy lads did brill. The two japanese lads did brill. Aggression throughout the team. Enjoyable win and well deserved.

Yeah, Sherwood was absolute gold on Sky tonight. He's rattled them big time with his comments. He wasn't wrong in anything he said either. My Captain! 😄

Lmao @ those 100 people all walking round with a squeaky chicken 🤣🤣 👌👌👌🤣🤣🤣

Atleast Spudbros wont run out of Salt 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yeap Sherwood's comments on Sky tonight were good. He also thinks nobbers are in false position. He's right.

There is something about north end, I don't know if it's from reading their forum and all the vile comments they make about us, forming some form of rivalry that's never been there for most of us. But beating them just gets me right in the feels, you just know they are sat at home now with there head in their hands, absolutely gutted. There rivalry with blackpool is just a cover, they despise Blackburn Rovers and all of her achievements, they absolutley foam at the mouth over us. I think over the course of time we've been really unlucky with this lot, they always manage to scab it, but it's now been years since theve beaten us, genuinely buzzing tonight. Some great comments by sherwood aswell, he loves the rovers. COYB.

Can't wait for Monday morning

Not convinced by Kargbo but I think a quick forward in his style could work in this 352 up front. As you see with Ohashi alot of the forward play is about running the channels and combining with the wide players.

I don’t think they’re laughing anymore… @SuperBrfc

Why not go for 6 or 7?

Makes a change with Owd Timmy! The more I watch that lunge on Baradji the worse it gets😠

Thats 12pts from an unbeaten 6 games down Knob-End since covid. Outscored them 12-5 in the process.

I saw that...Felt the same worry. What a great game he had tonight!

So whats the deal with Pratt? If he could come in and do a great job in a highly competitive first team derby are there others? I couldn't really see why he would struggle at this level. Powerful, decent on the ball, not quick but okay pace wise. PNE are a big strong direct team and he was really comfortable. How come he wasn't on the bench before? Just strikes me as really strange you can go from Chorley to that in a few weeks. Beginners luck maybe?

Yes of course, it’s all down to the magic coach. Waggott was a genius.

Don't wanna panic anyone but Tronstad looked to be limping off at the end of those celebration videos accompanied by the physio 🥲

If they are wearing our shirt they will always get support to do well however there is nothing wrong with not fancying them ability wise, it’s the nature of football and being a football supporter. Can’t be delusional and back them no matter what otherwise that would be the same for the owners

There's talent and application. Then there's the team. Scholes put it all together to get to the heights. Wharton might be technically there in talent already but the rest has to come. Bellingham seems to have it all but I don't see the application and teamwork to put him on a par - yet.

Obviously, but for now the gap is six points without a game in hand.

If he gets us in the play offs, they should make him Mayor.

Indeed, but for now we don’t.

He was recently thrown out of a local Travelodge for making eye-holes in all the white pillow cases..

Of course folks are allowed their opinion. Doesn't make their opinion correct though. They are in our squad so back them rather than sack them. Like it or lump it.
