Goulons time to shine!

Btw, what has happened to him? I haven't seen him since the Kean took over. Is he injured or is he just so bad that he's not making the squad?

He has got to be the worst ever player to wear the Rovers shirt in a competitive match. He is way out of the squad.

The game will be difficult and tense. I don't expect that Rovers will play the same way and with the same intensity as versus Arsenal.

Rarely does any team repeat the previous game's form.

I hope Barry Ferguson does NOT score against us. I think we'll just about scrape a win.

If not we stare the big drop in the face.

I have a soft spot for Brum purely because of Jasper Carrot. He and his mate were in a prison cell looking at the bucket in the corner.

The conversation went something like this,

"Where else would you spend a Saturday afternoon sitting on a cold seat staring at a bucket-load of sh1t?"

"At St Andrews watching Birmingham City."

Well folks this is it........the big month. Rovers HAVE to win at leat two of their three home games in April, and that means starting with a win today.

I am just about to set off for "dear old Blegburn" in my car. Nerworkrail have chosen to close the West Coast main line from Edinburgh to Carlisle every weekend in April and use a bus from Edinburgh to Carlisle, and the journey time from Waverley to Preston has increased to 5hrs 30 min. I am not having any of that, so the car is going to be seeing more of Lancashire this month than it has ever done since it was new. COYB!!!

Very nervous this morning, fingers crossed we get three points today, biggest game of the season so far, we could be in the bottom 3 or 5 points clear,

3-1 Rovers RSC 2, Hoilett 1

You should have some fun traveling up today with the M6 full of Birmingham fans.

5 hours to kick off and I am feeling nervous/sick (normally never get this way before games), Rovers are in a very weird position, 3 points and Premier League survival will be within reach, a loss and we will really be staring down the barrel, a draw probably not good enough (taking into account the games we have remaining).

Looking forward to the game, hopefully we'll start well and get an early goal.

One thing to look for today is how much/little communication with the players Kean & Jensen have during the game. Against Blackpool pretty much every stoppage Holloway was getting messages on to his players with them running over to hear him, even at 0-2 Kean was stood there with not one of the players coming over. Key an eye on it today.

2-0 Rovers

Going to the Coventry beer festival. So both bases will be covered ;).

Had a 53 and a half hour week at work and my wife's grandma is probably on her way out so I deserve a result.

I'd probably go with Gogger's team, though I am in two minds over which of Kalinic or RSC I'd play.

To be fair he was shown a few times giving orders against Arsenal.

We will have to score 2 today to win I have a bad feeling that Gardner will score as he has a knack of hitting shots from distance low which is Robbo's main weakness.

Hoilett again needs to be the main man for us, so much depends on him in the run in.

I'm praying for a win today, don't feel nervous though. I think that the lack of nerves is due to the fact something clicked inside me which accepted relegation when Charlie Adam crashed in to make it 2-0 to Blackpool. I didn't swear, walk away, cry I just had a gentle acceptance.

I will go today and back the boys as always and sing my heart out, but I just don't know what's changed in me.

Get behind the boys and Kean today.
