v Coventry City (a) - 18/10/25

[StHelensRover]

Rovers commentary team don't sound overly optimistic about our chances today, they're also uncertain about what the shape of the team will be with that line-up.

Fancy Rovers to win today RF99? 

Id love to be wrong. But no I do not.

Top of the league at home against a side with a poor manager, poor 11, missing its best players and sat in the bottom 3 with less points than games played. Logically, a home win and a comfortable one at that.

Football doesnt always follow logic but I have no confidence and expect yet another loss.

[davulsukur]

Google giving us a whopping 15% chance of victory.

[WacoRover]

Are we behind yet 😆

5-0 to Coventry

A bad one.

Cantwell missing is a blow This could be horrible.

Not sight yet among the fans here of a clever looking bloke with a beautiful woman.

Odd that

 

He only said clever looking.

Stat just flashed up on the stream of the game:
"Since Ismael took over, only two Championship teams have lost more matches than Blackburn Rovers"

Remember, 100+ applicants, he was the best, 3 year deal...

Another dodgy ref - Gudjohnsen gets fouled, play on. Their player throws himself the ground on the exact same challenge - foul.

I suspect the Referee will not be the difference between these teams today.

Didn't say he would be, but I'd love them to officiate fairly. Not a big ask. 

[BigBar]

Wharton off to a very shaky start

[roverandout]

Ohashi is weak as piss 

[moerpho]

Have to score those! 

[chaddyrovers]

We aren't sitting back at least

[Scotty1991]

Gudjonssons movement is very good you can tell he’s got a famous dad! It’s like watching the polar opposite of Gueye, we just haven’t got anyone who can find the right pass or delivery for him with no cantwell. 

[moerpho]

Positive start from Rovers but not enough quality so far

He’s fluffed some great chances, one led to us conceding recently when he failed to control it 

[StHelensRover]

We have started well, considering the gulf between the teams in the table. If we don't take one of these chances we're going to rue it eventually, if/when Coventry wake up and start playing.

[Ferrit]

Havent started too badly here to be fair.

I saw the same. The next stat up was that Rovers haven't won in 9 against Coventry. 

20 mins in and still 0-0 so that's a plus. 

A lot of kick and rush from Rovers. Coventry not offering much either so far. 

[Scotty1991]

Tronstad is stinking the place out, you can tell he’s not getting a new deal! Absolutely no point in him being on the pitch. 

[johnradfordsubbuteo2]

Don't worry Adam Forshaw's mum says her son's very good in that position.

[TheKitGuy]

Think we've been alright, not great not shite
