It's a good job the game is at Ewood then.

No you're wrong. Ewood is the worst of all venues for us--check this season's results!!

VI needs to work out some way of adding steel and resolve to our home performances, or risk further damage to our already dwindling support.

I mean, what is so wrong about battling relentlessly and with passion for 90 minutes and against the odds wherever we are playing? There is something deeply concerning about a set up that can garner the kind of hard-nosed commitment we have seen repeatedly on the road, but which meekly accepts powder-puff performance in front of home fans, and it is up to the manager (coach) to iron out whatever psychological bumps are preventing equal measures of resolve and persistence at Ewood.

On to the game. QPR are only 3 points ahead of us so this is a true 6 pointer. Their record this season is not dissimilar to our own, albeit they have scored more and conceded more than us. It is a club I've long held disdain for, ever since their plastic pitch in the 1980s gave an obvious and unfair advantage - an experiment that always seemed to work against the hard-grafting Rovers visiting Loftus Road. Having said that, we have enjoyed decent returns there in recent years..on and off. The Gerry Francis cast off club don't like travelling Norff, so perhaps there is a glimmer and shimmer about Wednesday's game under the Ewood floodlights...There won't be hordes from West London, that's for sure.

On paper it is a nailed on draw. On form it is anybody's game. On reflection there will be a sparse collection of eyes on the game from the seating and terracing of Olde Ewoode Parke.. Football is of course a game of confidence and form, chance and chances, right place right time and right mess right now. It isn't clear what will be served on Wednesday, but I do hope it isn't another dollop of dosy downcast demeanour from the brave boys in blue and white.

Hiding to nothing, Rovers 0 Sweaty Hoops 0

Hating the Home Form Rovers 0 Hula Hoops 2

Hooray for the faithful Rovers 2 Betty Boops 0

COY miserable home form Blues!

Oh, and VENKYS OUT!
