Really excited for this as are the kids, we can all feel the inevitable 0-2 loss coming but at least the season is still alive for the last (?!) home game

I hope the crowd in attendance give It Waggott, Pasha and Gestede out  big style. 

All 3 out of our club! 

Season ended, when the above 3 contrived to oust Eustace!

Recording with these guys is always terrific fun…informative, left-field features…watch out for rip-off Christmas Fayres in Samlesbury…no, really….

Matchday folks!

Can this turn out to be a day that keeps us in it?

Can we keep our end of the bargain afloat with a win today?

All eyes on Luton at half 12. Up the Hatters!

I hadn't realised how much Coventry's away form had dipped, no wins since early March at Oxford after they were flying just before that. On the flip side Luton have only lost to the famous Blackburn Rovers at home since Sheff Utd mid Feb. Worth noting they've also played Leeds, Boro and Bristol City in that time! A number of reasons for us to live in hope for a bit longer. However, it IS the championship and Coventry winning 8 nil is also possible.

I mean it's Saturday, looking like a pleasant day, we have a bit of something to make today's game interesting, let's see what happens and have a good day

"Please  remain in your seat at the full time whistle."

I'm not sure I appreciate the minatory tone. What is this? The 46th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union? Will we be shot if we fail to applaud for long enough?

Should be as much of a gimme as you get in this league. 
Playing against a very average side who only have their eyes on their upcoming Dubai holidays.

Rovers are 2nd shortest price of all fixtures today at 1.75 (8/11 ish) - only Boro are more fancied to win at 1.65 (4/6 ish).

No doubt we’ll get served up the soft lads version and we’ll slump to a depressing 2-0 defeat.

Ah, the old sucker punch..

Watford go into this game with Kevin Keben (red carded) and Sissoko (also red carded) with a string of Injuries sidelining others.

Has there ever been a gimme where Blackburn Rovers are concerned 🤣

He oversaw 12 wins from his 41 games in charge before a poor run of form saw his time come to an end.

Out of work for just under a year before being appointed Rovers boss in February, this weekend will see Ismael go up against his old employers for the first time since his departure.

 

why did we appoint him again?

The Georgian lad in midfield is missing as well, their best player by a mile

Remember to Express Yourself today all

Hoping for a Rovers win for the fans and a final message to Waggott, Suhail & Gestede that we want you gone along with the Rao Family parasites from our club.

No idea if the below is true

Not wishing to be greedy, but could do with clawing back a bit of the Bristol City goal difference today.

Coventry down to 10 men!

The stars are aligning, the pattern is emerging, the opportunity is coming into focus, the energies appear to be flowing our way...

And yet, the words, "so near, and yet so far" are poised to flutter disdainfully up the warming airs of Livesey Branch and Bolton roads this afternoon.

Only words that really matter are:

VENKYS OUT! TAKE YOUR TRASH OUT WITH YOU.. BE GONE  

[RoversClitheroe]

Waiting with baited breath on this team selection.

Wouldn't surprise me in the least to see some odd selections.

He said in the Lancs Raggagraph that consistency was key, and gave praise to the 'settled' team he'd been able to select for the past three triumpant outings..

So, this being Blackburn Rovers, of course we should expect changes to be rung in at 2pm...
