Delighted with the win. 

Gudjohnsen would have been my man of the match. Much better second half performance from him and got us the winner..

All 3 subs made an impact. 

Still dont like us playing 3 at the back. Would be 4-2-3-1 formation as that is always my preferred formation. 

Should have scored more but could have conceded more. 

Delighted we won. Roll on to Leicester now. Let's win that one. COYB🔵⚪️

He's back. Call off the Search Party!

Coventry seems to run away in the league

And the reason they're not going is.....?

I'm quite sure both Kargbo and Gueye will be shipped come January.

There was a full scrap in N04, seemed to be a Venky’s out/get behind the lads based disagreement . Fella who came of worse will have a banging head tomorrow 

It must have been the venkys out mon as anyone who supports venkys doesn't have a fucking brain to begin with.

In know why they're not going , but you spend all week telling people they're mad for going and urge them to stay away, then post a picture of how sad it looks. 🤦‍♂️

Two poor teams in the first half. I can see why Southampton are down there with us. They got lucky with the rebound that ended up as good as a pass. Their guy took the chance well though. If we are going to play 5 at the back with wing backs we can’t have two water carriers in centre midfield. You end up playing seven at the back. When you actually win the ball it’s hard to find a player down field. We are crying out for a player ( Baradji ? ) who can win the ball back there and carry it into the last third. I thought Gudjonnson was the love child of Ashley Ward in that first half. He got hardly any service but you’ve got to do more yourself to make things happen. Once he got the goal he looked a different player.

Second half was much better and the last 25 minutes was what I expect from a Rovers team. All of a sudden we were winning tackles, headers, 50/50 balls. Launching ourselves into tackles. When Morshita missed that chance I thought - “ We won’t get a better chance than that “ . That seemed to inspire us though and we really took the game to Southampton after that. I also thought Southampton playing into our hands by dropping back and just playing on the break, thanks to Toth we rode our luck in that respect. I was expecting Armstrong to put both of those chances away but Toth faced him down each time.

Play like we did in the last 25 minutes and we’ll give ourselves a chance. We were definitely trying for the whole game, I can’t fault our effort at all, we just lack composure at the moment. One thing is for sure, they are playing for the manager.

What about the fans that aren’t Venky’s Out but don’t get behind the lads either?

Too many just sit there in silence.

I’m convinced that the people having a go at Ismael and singing Venky’s Out helped create an atmosphere today that was sorely lacking in the first half especially. That energy helped the team a lot in the second half. Proving that it doesn’t matter what you sing, just sing!

Also, it’s possible to get behind the lads AND want our owners gone. It’s caring about the future of Blackburn Rovers Football Club that is most important.

A great feeling winning from behind today and hope that this team CAN get results in this league if the opposition aren’t on it.

It’s going to be a long season but the hope is there!

1. Show me the posts where I have told people they're mad for going.

2. If I didn't go to the game, how the fuck could I take a picture of the 2/3 empty Blackburn End and post it on here?

You really are a clown sometimes.

He seems to hate Gueye.

You're going to struggle to sell Kargbo if he's out for 3 months. 

[RevidgeBlue]

Kargbo's been a terrible signing.

Complete and utter sicknote.

"Essentially, if you buy a season ticket then you're consenting to Venkys destruction of the club.

Just my opinion of course"

We'll, you're opinion actually, beginning of the season ticket thread. 

Didn't take long to find, right at the beginning .

Where did I say that people were mad for going then? 

Giving your money to them is subsidising their destruction of the club. I'd go as far as to say that's fact, not just an opinion.

You still haven't answered how I can take a picture and post it on here when I wasn't even on the same hemisphere as where the picture was taken. Also, show me where I posted the picture.

One more point, why are there no fans in the upper tier?

It was getting hairy behind me in the JW Upper with a few ‘fans’ taunting those chanting “Venkys Out” by shouting “where the fuck would we be without the Venkys funding us, you are just a bunch of muppets, Venkys Out fucking muppets” etc etc etc. “get behind the team”.

Rather unpleasant.  It was very close to getting violent.

Clubs fooked.

[JBiz]

Not sure what you’re trying to prove @M_Bwe all know what he’s like!

Anyway. I thought we look disorganised again today, huge spaces between and behind us and a chronic lack of final ball! But… the workrate brought us through.

I think 9/10 days, Armstrong buries those chances but you’ve got to praise Toth. He’s more than an upgrade compared to pears!

 

a very welcome three points. First home win at home since April?

I didn't think you posted it, I thought you quoted a post with the picture in it.

If that comment isn't urging people not to buy tickets,then I'll let others decide.

Top tier isn't open, only open for Dingles and Man United.

You think they stayed away because he urged them to? Bit far-fetched.

No. 

But we've got the same people who've stopped going for whatever reason, commenting on how empty it is.

Like I've said before, when people say "GeT bEhInD tHe LaDs...."

We are behind them every week. They wear our shirt and badge.

Literally the reason we go and watch football because that's our team.

I still maintain we won’t get battered today. It usually goes like this… lose a few games, pressure mounts on the manager, fanbase expect us to get pasted, we come away with at least a draw so that they can shove it right down our ungrateful throats. 
 

2-1 Rovers or 1-1.

During the Kean era I went through phases of almost willing a defeat, in the vague hope it could be for the betterment of the team if it meant it pushed him over the precipice. As I’ve seen all this before, and knowing the manager won’t be removed, we have to hope this group can string enough points together to keep our heads above water. If we go in to L1, it could be years before we see Championship football again. 

Thought so

I would say that the top tier of the Blackburn end is not open because 10,000+ people have voted with their feet.

At least that many.

Assuming that the BBC is right; XG has us winning 3-1. It wasn't a smash and grab. Give Ismael some credit.
