Take me back to 05-06, 6th place finish, beating Chelsea 1-0 at Ewood to secure European football (Sav's free kick that skimmed Reid's head and went in) unbelievable stuff. Friedel, Nelsen, Neill, Gray, Zurab, Todd, Peds, Sav, Reid, Bentley, Bellamy, Dickov, Kuqi, Emerton, Tugay etc. Cracking squad of players. What a squad Hughes built for rovers. Add to that list samba, benni, RSC, ooijer, Dunny at his peak. Ahhh memories. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is really demoralizing, no real hope exists to get any points at all in the near future. I think we can win the next four games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had one 6/10 game after a train of 8's and 9's and was immediately dropped. I don't blame the player for that personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WacoRover Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 2 hours ago, LeftWinger said: This from Wikipedia sums it up nicely.... During his spell in charge of Blackburn, Hughes' side was accused of being "over-physical" and "dirty" on multiple occasions[37][38][39] and the club finished bottom of the Premier League disciplinary table in all four of Hughes' seasons in charge. No-one enjoyed playing us. We were good to watch, but were always fiery and aggressive. I enjoyed that style. I think we need that. Tony & his nice boys image hasn’t translated into anything approaching tough, physical football, with a burning desire to win. Hughes apparently attracted that kind of player. Fights in locker rooms, that kind of stuff. Sounds like the shot in the arm we need. IF he could be coaxed back here; he might not be welcome, he threw us over for Cityzens, right?

Atko's Engine Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Tomorrow will be a tough game no doubt, especially without Armstrong added to all the other missing first teamers. A quick look on Boro's website suggests they have 3 or 4 unavailable from their squad, which is far more preferable to our 10 or 11. In that context, a draw would be a good result. But we are still absolutely capable of a win against them despite that, and I find the pessimism on here - not just for this game but for the the season - quite unhealthy & dare I say worse than sitting next to my dad in the Riverside!!

rovers11 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 I think the next two games are all about damage limitation before we get our better players back. I would snap your hand off now for 4 points from the next two games. To put into context, we have our best striker missing, our best playmaker, our best midfielder, our best defender, our best gk, and both of our left backs missing. I'm not sure any team could cope with that in any division. I think it makes sense to not play Armstrong tomorrow night. We can't afford to lose him for a couple of months. Forget the pretty stuff tomorrow, play the ball forward quickly, pick up the second balls, and get lots of crosses into the box for Gallagher. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossydave Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Lots of negativity about and people writing us off tomorrow. All this does is point to a home win for me. I hate international breaks but we need this next one and need to hobble over the line till then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
