Fantastic effort by those at Ewood yesterday. The heat must remain on Steve the chancer and the owners, win, lose or draw, until they move on.

A new low for slimey Steve. Trying to use the players to get sympathy and stop the fully justified criticism of him and the owners.

Venky’s, HMRC…The Plot Thickens ?
robbojohnno replied to tomphil's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
We have no hope. Just spoke to a fellow fan on the train who described the transfer window as very good under the circumstances and no concerns over the ownership. Said he felt more connected to the club than ever and that we would be in serious trouble if it wasn't for the owners. When asked about the decade absence I was told to be grateful for the monetary support over the years. -
Venky’s & Waggott Out Protest Ideas

v Middlesbrough (h) - 16/09/2023

Strange as I thought we played some scintillating football and could have had 5 or 6 on another day. JDT is working wonders and turning water into wine. Roll on Wednesday. -
Very good player who we were linked with a few years ago while at Fleetwood. A shame its only a loan but this lad will be a fans favourite by the end of the season and it will be a shame to see him go back to his parent club.

v Hull City (H) - 19/08/2023
robbojohnno replied to Polky's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Hull In Rosenior they have a promising young coach without anything significant to note just yet on his CV. Hull have some good players in Greaves and Tufan but certainly aren't a side we need to fear. They've beaten a very poor Sheff Wed and lost at Carrow Road so its difficult to gauge where they are at based on those two games. Rovers Positive signs with the style of play firmly implemented by Jon a year into his reign. Whilst Venkys and Swag continue to ensure he has one hand tied behind his back, he's built a good team which could really be a force in this league with 2 or 3 quality additions. Unfortunately those signings aren't likely so we will continue to punch above our weight but the lack of experience and quality will hurt us. Score Prediction: 2-1 Rovers or 1-1 My XI (4-3-3) Pears Brittain Hyam Carter Ronnie Travis Wharton JRC Gally Ennis Szmodics COYB -
v Rotherham (a) - 12/08/2023
robbojohnno replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I thought we started the game well and had we scored the penalty it would have been a comfortable afternoon for us. Unfortunately we missed the penalty and then gave away a horrific goal which gave Rotherham a huge lift and saw them control the rest of the half. The second half started badly with a simple set piece not dealt with but a slightly fortuitous red card gave us a get out of jail card if we wanted it. Until Dolan went off we didn't look like scoring but as soon as Gally came on to make it two up top and Sammie wide left we were a new team and could have had 5 goals rather than the 2 we ended up with. Special Mentions Pickering - very good, particularly at 2 down where he dominated at both ends and seemed one of the few determined to turn it round. JRC - a gamechanger in the middle of the park causing havoc in the inside right channel. Ennis - a proper centre forward, did well for the goal and once up to speed will be the focal point for us. First player since Graham who can hold the ball and shrug off defenders as a striker. Szmodic- a worse half you won't see but he bounced back superbly with 2 goals and is a key player for us. JDT - has got us playing with a clear identity and seems determined to see us score more goals this season even if it may leave us more open. Shame he doesn't get the backing as he would walk this division with a few quality additions. Negatives Dolan and Markanday aren't up to it. Dolan is limited in most areas and Markanday despite the technical ability is physically miles off it. -
v Rotherham (a) - 12/08/2023
robbojohnno replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
1-3 Leonard, JRC and Hedges with the goals. Last season we went to Rotherham with Dack in the side and Vale Hedges and Gallagher as the front 3? It was a horror show but they did score some long range, speculative, efforts. We finished the season a completely different side and have started this season strongly so against a weaker Rotherham (injuries, suspension and loss of players) I think we can win this. -
v West Bromwich Albion (H) - 05/08/2023

2-1 Leonard x2. Late goal from the baggies to make things nervy. -
Fantastic news! If he stays fit hes every chance of getting in the Championship team of the season this year. Now to get some goalscorers in the building. COYB

Crazy that he hasn't been tied down to a new deal yet, he has won back to back player of the month awards and has been key to our upturn of form. Fingers crossed it gets sorted out in the next few weeks.

Penny wise, pound foolish. Waggott all over.

January Transfer window 2022
robbojohnno replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Contract expires next summer so shouldn't be more than £2.5million. It does appear to be low risk for a very promising young player.
