We also have a young Irish striker Oriadan (pardon the spelling) i think hes out on loan. Were 6pts clear of the drop zone, with a game in hand before the Christmas games. Rovers supporters can sleep a bit easier for once.

Thought Katie did well on Elliot's podcast the other day but didn't get as long to speak on Lancs tonight. Just glad people are being given airtime who speak for people like me who are fed up.

Pretty much. He's scored 7 goals before Christmas in a struggling team. I wish he'd win more headers as a target man, but I can't really complain about the output. He's a goal scoring striker.

Crawley needs to play that way, no loose stupid driving on the up outside off stump. That was the key to his batting. I think he would benefit from a Langer type coach who would drill that into him. Duckett and Pope dismissal are poor ones. Think we need a new opener next to either Crawley or Duckett. A new number 3 and I hope we get Jacob Bethall his chance for the last 2 tests, Not seen much of him as a test player but lets see what he can do.

If he does keep putting the ball in the net I don't really mind. It's if he doesn't the problem arises as I still think his all round game is terrible. He's like Jordan Rhodes but nowhere near as clinical in front of goal and with a worse all round game imo. However if he can notch something approaching 20 goals he'll do for me.

He puts the ball in the net more often than anyone else. That's his game, getting into the right place at the right time and after a rough start he's showing he can be a good poacher at this level. Its on the rest of the team to provide good enough service when you have a poacher like that in the side.

Frankly, it should have been 1-1 (Miller header and Taylor header). Neither keeper much to do otherwise -2 errors for our 2 goals. Incidentally, can you imagine the flak here if Pears had done what Crocombe did for our first goal? 😉 Classic Rovers though. Small crowd and all sorts of protest stuff in the week prior – Rovers win. As has been said, keep up the protests, they are good for results 🙂

Great comments and assessment from Herbie on Radio Lancashire just now. He's on with Katie from the Coalition.

The good news: The ticket worked. Let a lad in the turnstiles booth actually scan the tickets. (Cant see the point if you need someone there to scan multiple tickets etc but hey ho) We won. Good job they gifted us a second. Could have been a different game without that. Academy graduates Litherland and Pratt excellent. Baradji looked very good when he finally made an appearance. The bad news Soul less experience, barely 7k on no matter what the official figure may be. Unexceptional game between 2 poor sides. Ewood is in a right state - from Jack's statue to the ground itself. My mate up from London commented we had zero presence up front. Generally the two strikers were either on either flank with no-one in the middle or they got outmuscled and the ball was straight back on us. As good as he looked, Baradji isnt much use if he can only manage 25 mins. Enjoyed the win but unless things change drastically, probably won't be back until the same time last year.

It was more full than versus Oxford but still definitely less than 10,000. I'm gonna guess about 8k.

still of that opinion post match? I would say how is Millwall and PNE squads got the quality to be top 6 before today's game?

Team winning = little dissent. Was ever thus, especially with the rump that’s left at Ewood.

Can't agree. He is the focus point up front whilst Ohashi works off that in the channels. his link up play is good, our problem is how we play the ball from the back to the striker with too many straight balls and not enough down the channels/over the top ball

Good performance and win. Very much deserved and we weren't outplayed or bullied by Millwall. Every player stood up to the challenge today. great to get an early goal, Feed the Gudjohnsen and he will score. Rovers played on the front foot first half and second half more pragmatic. Litherland good on Debut. Miller, McLoughlin and Pratt solid at the back 3. Pickering good at left wing back. We should stick with him there or Hedges, rotating. having Tronstad and Cantwell back fit and starting helps this team so much. Second goal, well Ohashi wont score an easier one but he made the Millwall defender head the ball. Second half, we were more pragmatic but we didn't allow them many chances and I was expecting them to be hammering us. It didn't happen. We could have scored a third with Miller header. Henriksson gave us a better performance up front than Gueye would have done who I think is done here now. Atcheson did fine and steady away. Baradji looks better game by game Delighted for the players, Ismael and the staff we got the win today. It was deserved and I couldn't be more happy and delighted today with the win, performance, and the correct prediction on the score. COYB 🔵⚪!!!

FOI gone in yet for match attendance?

He was injured, holding the back of his leg,that's why he came off. How many times have you heard, he works hard but doesn't score goals? There aren't many 6 yard box players about,he's our most important player.

Was surprised at how little anti Venky's sentiment there was inside the ground today. Probably helped we led after 3 mins but only heard one brief "Stand up if you hate Venky's" chant from the Blackburn End on 55 mins. For the most part, although it looked like there were barely 7k on, it was like you were at a perfectly normal Club and nothing had happened over the last 15 years. Others are right it's going to be a tough sell.

Pratt (in particular) and Litherland have excelled since coming in. Can't understand why Academy lads don't get their chance first, as opposed to signing a load of dross from obscure European Leagues then only bringing in Academy lads if there's an injury crisis/suspensions/international call ups etc.

He's desperately poor otherwise though, no wonder he was substituted.

There’s some awful teams (much better than us still) in the premier league to be fair, Wolves on for the record low number of points

Tha academy lads did Rovers proud, well done.

The balance sheet? To use an accountancy term, they’ve fucked it. They’re not getting that money back.

First time watching Burnley this season (against a very poor Bournemouth side). It looks like they've bought a lot of duds this year. Let's hope their house of cards comes crashing down.
