The king is dead, long live the king Rovers has more on and JDT has. Good luck to JDT in the future. Eustace has impressed me so far with his comments and his actions on Saturday 10 hours ago, joey_big_nose said: I imagine they were on board when it was going well, then after sixth/seventh horrendous result in a row started to question how we were playing. Always the way. I guess by the time we went to West Brom away and JDT was still telling them they need to overload the channels, recycle the ball instead of crossing it in etc there would have been some very skeptical and dejected expressions in the dressing room. I hope Eustace has a flexible approach. Certainly seems that way from his writeups. From Eustace's comments today he wants to play a mix approach game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a great club but Blackburn Rovers is the future now and I can’t wait to go there with Rovers and put on a good performance. *New manager calls us Rovers alert* He said "Blackburn".

"All I can effect is what's on the pitch" https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/24114896.eustace-blackburn-rovers-ownership-no-excuse-culture/ I think he was basically suggesting he isn't interested or going to refer to the owners, money spent, politics, project changing, summer, transfers, sales, taxes or India..he is only going to "focus on the pitch" Yes John, let's see how that pans out in September. I bet you won't be just focussing on the pitch then. These owners will make you want to connect with the fans about how poorly run the club is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goozburger Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Just now, Leonard Venkhater said: So did Dalglish I think most Rovers supporters realise it's just a small bonus to call us "Rovers". Let's face it. The players, for the most part, won't really care about that, and as long as they and the Head Coach are all on the same page, that matters infinitely more than what has been described as "wind" on here today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. Also living here in Bristol, especially this close to Bristol rovers, I find myself correcting folk all the time when I tell them I'm a rovers fan, so I often refer to being a Blackburn fan. It gets more confusing as Bristol rovers are blue and white and our scarfs look similar. I do hope we never have to play eachother in league 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't consider it any kind of bonus at all, I really don't care about it whatsoever. I find it very weird that some fans fixate on it, personally. Almost as weird as the ones who thought Adam Wharton shouldn't sign for Palace because they had the temerity to beat us in the playoffs well before he was even born.

I only know one Bristol Rovers supporter and he’s my age (60ish 😉) and that’s what he calls them. He also signs everything off on Facebook with ‘UTG’ (up the Gas) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattyblue Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I don’t think it’s ‘weird’ at all. It shows a connection to the club. Like if a Birmingham manager calls them ‘Blues’. If they don’t say it, fine, end of the day managers, players come and go, they aren’t Rovers fans, but it was a nice touch from JDT and I appreciated it, if it makes me ‘weird’, then weird I be. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
