v Southampton (h) - 25/10/25

[Waggy76]

Fabulous result, not sure how it happened but it  did,  we needed to win today! 

A few beers first time this season 😁

[RoversTilliDie]

A poor 1st half hour, and 0-1 down at half time, for once we didn't let our heads drop, and a much improved 2nd half so us take the points..See what happens when you play for 90 minutes. McLoughlin deserved the man of the match, I thought Miller gave an improved performance, with some timely tackles, great to see Gudjohnssen off the mark.

So depressing seeing Ewood like that.

I'd say he's probably playing half fit and injected with pain killers.

7.7 rating today for Riordan at Doncaster.  Averaging a 7.0 rating. 

If I was him I'd be looking at this formation and depth and being straight on the blower January 1st

Fantastic win in the end, and sounds like it was deserved too. Huge relief but this is one small step in the right direction.

Credit to Montgomery, sounds like he changed the game a bit when he came on.

[OsloRover]

Miller was good

Ohashi was good

Montgomery was very good

Trondstad was not very good, nor was Wharton

He is doing ok in League 1, but he is still prone to the odd error (normal for a 21 year old)

Personally think he (and Rovers) would be better served in the long term with him staying on loan for the rest of the season, and us getting another experienced head (or 2) through the door to help us see out the season

That being said, I fully expect him to be recalled in January as he will be cheaper than any other options

Yep that's what these kind of loans are all about so hopefully he's ready to come back and show he can handle this league.

Like a new signing....

The Blackburn End has NEVER been that sparse on a regular basis they've absolutely killed it.

Another unique achievement.

It's with people staying away.

Didn't want him on as a sub but that controlled confident run with the ball was class.

Just got in, was a real feeling of the fans wanting to get behind the lads and getting their message across to the regime. A good balance, I was up in JW and stood up "if I hate venkys" quite a few more than usual stood up but you could see people staring around.

GET UP OFF YOUR FEET IF YOU KNOW IT

Yep, and this is the one we managed to win! The irony is just when you think it's safe to go back in the water Rovers will inevitably start losing again! 😂

When the Club has zero ambition......you reap what you sow.

Enjoy and savour the wins folks in this 150th season long relegation battle.

What is motivating Trondstad..he wants to go to Norway after this season. Can be down to poor form.

At this

If that's taken from your seat, you've definitely heard me moaning about referees over the years. 🤣

🤣🤣 your not wrong pal. Just wish people would be more vocal up here. Its like they're embarrassed to chant or stand up if they hate venkys, I can see people looking at me when chanting or clapping for venkys out etc it's a weird feeling

[Elrovers]

Has anyone seen idk if true but kargbo missing the next 12 months due to a leg injury

Great co-ordination though with joint BBE & UJW as players left feild to "..we want venkys out...".
