v The Dingles (h) - 25/04/2023, k/o 8pm

[roversfan99]

The reason that people are saying such "defeatist" things is because it means so much to people. The passion and desire is there with people spending good money to go following Rovers and be continiously witnesses of falling at the final hurdle.

Regarding belief, you can't blame anyone. Last season, we collapsed in the second half of the season. This season, we were 10 minutes away from Wembley, messed that up and have since failed to win in 6 in the last set of games where the pressure is there to seal our play off place.

I've got feckin passion and desire by the bucket load!!!  It's just a shame, IMO,  JDT and his bottlers don't.

Maybe its time you show it then Mercer. 

no need for you to call the players bottlers either.

Belief in our club?!?!  Difficult when you have, IMO, muppets like Waggott and Broughton running things.  The bottom line is the failure of Broughton to bring in a striker over two windows to score goals has very likely cost our club circa £250million (promotion and parachute payments should we have got relegated)!!!  Let that sink in.  The failure to get the paperwork right to bring O'Brien in as the window closed was yet another nail in the coffin.  Waggott and Broughton are paid big bucks to get things right and make sure things happen as they should - no excuses, the buck stops with them.  Personally, I wouldn't trust them to run a bath.  Belief in our club???  You are surely having a laugh. 

Its your club that you support and its time you belief in regardless of your opinion of the people employed in the CEO and DoF. 

I think Broughton has done a good overall job. Yes a striker should have been signed but we didn't, Yet we have found a way to remain in playoff hunt. We discussed the O'Brien deadline day fiasco enough on here. time to move on

Talking to a few fans, Rovers and Burnley yesterday morning, I said Rovers will have to 1 0 their way into the play offs. I saw nothing from the away end yesterday to change my mind. 

Whatever the team is, they need to test Burnley's players' appetite for a battle. We need to win every 50 50 and see if their loan players are thinking about next season.

We've started to play with more authority, and the passing out from the back is looking a lot more fluid and rewarding. We can definitely win this game and become favourite for one of the last 2 play off places, but we'll definitely have to earn it.

We really don’t have any other option but to go full tilt for a win on Tuesday. 

If play offs isn’t enough motivation, the battering we got at the Turd should be.

Make no mistake, the Dingles will be up for it so we have to match them. 

[booth]

If Brereton wants to restore any good will before he leaves, what a good way to crack a couple of his worldies past Burnley 🤞

[roverandout]

Whinging Huddersfield barstools will now mean Burnley will field a full strength team on Tuesday on top of that they'll probably put in a more determined performance as well.  The irony of Huddersfield moaning about fair play after what they did to us

Attention seeking bullshit.

You’d never heard of Leonard before Udders away.

JDT has done a tremendous job this season, especially after losing 4 key players in the summer. 

We’ll beat these bastards on Tuesday, mark my words, maybe put a bet on, it will probably be the first bet you’ve won all year.

Anyone seen any snowballs recently…..

Come on Rovers, ignore the armchair specialists, be loud and be proud.

You can't deny his substitutions in the last 2 games have cost us 4 points

Disagree. a point on Tuesday would be our best point of the season. Going into the last two rounds of fixtures in the driving seat? I’d take that all day long. 

[broadsword]

I'd definitely take a point right now ta.

 

A last minute winner for Burnley that secures them the title. This is the stuff of nightmares

We have nothing to fear, but fear itself. It is, after all, just another game of football.

If we play to our strengths, we can hope for a decent game. There is no way on God's earth that the players won't be aware of the significance of the fixture to both clubs. Let's not forget that Rovers have shown an appetite for the big games in recent months, and have come through several with colours flying - No need to concede anything to the Dingles at this point. Just go into the game determined to do our best and to hold our heads high, as we are Blackburn Rovers.

COYB!

I must be the only Rovers fan that can't wait for this season to end.

We've limped to the finish line because we didn't bring in a striker in January - I just want the misery to end at this point and for the rebuild to begin. It's physically painful watching us play without a striker.

Yes we did, we got our number one summer target that he and JDT had identified early.  George Hirst.  And you think he done a good job whilst also fucking the Obrien deal up......more drivel

Our midfield attacking play is a delight to watch, it is the final ball that let's us down. They always seem to manage to make the pass right at, or just behind a players feet. If the final pass arrived just in front of the player, they could put their foot through it.

But why. Statistically Pears has been better.

Just off my eye. Pears doesn't give us the confidence. Under a higher ball he's shaky, he chooses to punch everything and often that goes wrong too. 

Tommy is just a better goalkeeper for me.

[neophox]

Without Gally I have faith...start with the team that started second half.

We've been playing better than we have all season, but ironically the results haven't followed.

Someone is due a smashing and I can't think of any other recipient than our six-fingered friends from West Yorkshire.

Rovers 4 - 0 Dingles.

And no, I'm not drunk or high.

High on hope maybe?

It would be astonishing and utterly galling if Mowbray got his team into the play-offs at the first attempt with the youngest side in the Championship!

After years of faffing about with us.

Surely Sunderland are not ready, surely they need to go on a journey, surely promotion can'r be conjured up in no time?

Better class of loan, Geldhardt and Diallo...we got Clarkson and some other schmucks

Has Tony finally found a cure for nosebleed, a chronic condition of his that afflicted him throughout his tenure at Ewood and caused significant distress for thousands of supporters?

Aye, owners that won't let him take the piss and probably his mate isn't the CEO

[Norbert Rassragr]

We'll be smashed, and if they can, they'll officially win the division at Ewood Park. Then there will be some fighting amongst the crowd. 

I can't see anything other than a worst case scenario.

Next season we could have a striker banging them in every week, play better football than we have most weeks this season, and be going into the last 3 games without a chance of making the playoffs. I agree it’s a bit of a miracle that we are where we are, but come on you must know anything could happen in these last few games. Who cares if we deserve it or not.

The poor soul no longer has the arduous commute from Middlesbrough to Blackburn, which he stated killed his family time. He must be smiling by now lol.

[Upside Down]

This game will be won by the team that wants to win it.

So it will be a nailed on win for the six fingered cousin cuddles.
