[Archived] Blackburn Rovers 1 Vs 0 Portsmouth

[Ozz]

Just been thinking about Yakubu, Fuller and Berger against Amo, Short and Matteo, and I seem to have had a nose bleed.

What`s happened to Todorov, is he still injured? or alive?

[Finch]

This is the sort of game we have to win if we are to get out of relegation trouble.

(plus I work alongside a part-time Pompey fan so we HAVE to get a result so he won't rub my nose in it on Monday!)

Out of the top 5 clubs we have already played 3 of them so it's not surprising we're not doing well.

Going out on a limb here 2-1 Rovers (was going to say 3-1 but reality has taken over)

Is it a FACT that its Matty on the bench this week and NOT Nissa

[herbergeehh]

It IS a fact !

I like the bench, good players in all positions - only a couple of extra places for De Pedro and Gally is missing IMO..

Shame to see that neither Gallagher nor De Pedro made the bench. To say that Hughes had little time to assess the squad. Interesting to see Amo dropped too...

I will put money on Flitcroft getting subbed for Tugay at some point during the match.

Maybe he has come he to get his career started again?

[rebelzero]

what happened to Short?

(Amo came on 41st minute)

Injured, all to often unfortunately.

[joey_big_nose]

1-0 Matt Jansen.

[kingalan]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!

Matt's back...

[HertsRover]

Super super matt Super Matty Jansen!!!!!!

[mrsjansen]

One word for Souness.

Matt jansen.

All those of little faith.

He's back.

So too are Rovers

[kingalan]

Sounds like Brett Emerton's havin a blinder!!

[mrsjansen]

Are you listerning Rodney marsh? He he

[joey_big_nose]

Bothroyd is a revelation. Could really threaten both De Pedro and Pedersen for the left wing spot.

[kingalan]

Is he not a striker, though? Start him in place of Stead, I say. I think the pressure of reproducing last season's form has got to the young lad.

Heart-in-mouth moment as Fuller went down there....

[TROOPER]

thought matty was playing wide & jay down middle.. 3 mins added time oh for fluffs sake come on you mighty blues

[TROOPER]

why does this seem like such a massive result when we are only playing bloody pompey, we should be eating teams like this for breakfast...

[B.R.F.C]

Blow yer whistle ref

[Swedish Blackburn Rovers Fan]

at last a win...3p

[modes98]

Takes us level with newcastle & brum i believe!

Great second half performance, emerton had a second half to die for!

Good to see jansen back to his best and sparky instilling confidence into the team.

Onwards and upwards

[Maverick]

YES!!!!

First win of the season.
