Fans Friendly Squad

  1. All season we have been waiting for Ipswich to fall apart and it hasn't happened. They did have a wobble but Russell Martin in the Southampton dug out came true to form at the same time and nobody is taking much notice of the Leicester current form which is w1 d1 l3. Everyone is assuming Leicester have a cake walk to the title but the reality is any 2 from 4 for automatic promotion (Southampton have 2 games in hand on Ipswich) and as the fixture Gods would have it, we have to play all 4 in our last 8 games. So Ipswich are going to be good practice for Rovers attempt to save ourselves by puncturing others' automatic promotion dreams... This in my view is Eustace first real game- the previous fixtures came so quickly in succession he could only do band aid jobs but now he has a 12 day period of player recuperation and intensive work with his coaches at Brockhall. The only downside is Sigurdsson and Szmodics will probably play twice internationally so the two most knackered looking members of the squad don't get a break. That said, training ground and international injuries permitting, Rovers will have as close to a full squad to chose from as is normally possible at this time of the season- Barnes, Fleck and Leonard the only certain absentees from the senior group. The match day squad will see three from yesterday dropping out with the inclusion of McFazdean, Carter and JRC. For once, the kit man won't have to include nappies for the bench in his dressing room supplies... Ipswich can score from all over the pitch, have real dangers from the bench and have lost fewer games than anyone else in the Championship this season. Travis is only a bit part player for them so will be no loss being ineligible to play against us while Hirst is out with a hamstring injury which required surgery and unlikely to be ready by Good Friday. This is a MUST WIN for them which means they will be attacking us from the get go backed by a vociferous following from Suffolk. Under JDT, these were the circumstances we tended to thrive under. We conceded early and often at Portman Road but still gave Ipswich a footballing lesson at times, pulled it back to 3-3 and were only undone by a late Pears flap. At the very least, I am expecting Ipswich to know they have been in a game at Ewood and if Eustace gets us uncharacteristically willing to shoot on sight, we might avoid defeat. The 5.30pm kick off means we will know how Millwall v West Brom, Huddersfield v Coventry, Norwich v Plymouth, QPR v Birmingham and Sheffield Wednesday v Swansea have gone. In the worst case we will be worrying that a thrashing will drop us into the bottom three but hopefully it will be a free hit for getting further from trouble.
  2. Is anyone going to this game? How would everyone set up for this game and what would be team selection? I would either set up in 3-5-2 or 4-4-1-1. My team would be this for 3-5-2 Pears O'Riordan Hyam Wharton Brittain Ayari Tronstad Buckley Hedges Gallagher Szmodics My team would be this for 4-4-1-1 Pears Brittain Hyam Wharton Pickering Dolan Tronstad Ayari Hedges Szmodics Gallagher
  3. Well the new gaffer isn't concerned with winning so the question is will we draw or lose? My prediction at this stage of the season is we will be relegated this year and relegated the next. All hail our chicken overlords and the marvellous things they have done for this club.
  4. After the Lord Mayor's Show? Will John Eustace be proven a genius giving his two complete midfields 60 minutes each against Newcastle affirming and inspiring them or will all the players be totally drained physically or emotionally? This is not quite a must not lose but it is an opportunity to move sharpish towards the 50 points total. We don't want to be regretting a rubbish loss when the following results come in: Millwall v Watford Rotherham v Sheffield Wednesday Stoke v Middlesbrough Brum and Plymouth are entertaining Southampton and Ipswich while QPR go to Leicester- stranger things have happened than those three strugglers winning.. So fingers crossed for a second South Wales clean sheet. A more inspired performance than Cardiff would be a greatly appreciated bonus. Swansea are a bit of a nothing team but they can be dangerous and produce the goods as we know all too well from their visit to Ewood in October. Timely revenge required.
  5. Newcastle are going to be hurting. We don't need another midweek game at the moment. We have a poor record of Tuesday night matches Our squad is desperately thin. Suggestions of the lineup?
  6. Norwich are a team playing well at the moment. In their last 4, they've won 3 and drawn 1, scoring 12 goals. Josh Sargent is in great form, having scored 5 of those 12. They're looking like serious play-off contenders - currently sitting in 8th place, only 3 points away from 6th. Can't say i'm looking forward to this one, to be honest! Would snatch your hand off for a draw.
  7. Cardiff away this time round and the lovely people at the football league have once again given so much consideration for the fans and made this a midweek game. What will be served up for us this time round? Will we actually try and play football or will we just boot the ball as far up the pitch as possible. Venkys out.
  8. Well the new manager bounce didn't last long. Up next is Nob End. A team many of us never even gave a second thought about until the Raos and Desais darkened our door. Hopefully Eustace can get a more cohesive performance out of the lads and we pick up the three points. He's got his work cut out for him as our squad is really quite pitiful. Venkys out. Nothing else matters.
  9. My Grandma and Grandad were from Stoke originally. Fuck me am I glad they decided to move up to the heartland of the empire, Blackburn, Lancashire. I reckon this is where JDT will tirn it around, unless of course he hasn't walked already in which case fair play to him. Rovers 3 - 0 Stoke
  10. New head coach John Eustace takes control of Rovers for the first time against the club he was unfairly dismissed from earlier in the season. Going for a new manager bounce win here. More important than anything is that we continue to hold the owners feet to the fire for what they've done to this club. I for one will never forget and never forgive them. Venkys out. COYB
  11. Hey all newb, well I've been on here before many, many moons ago. I live in Blackburn but don't get to go much these days coz of work but so watch when I can. Good luck to the blues today and everyone going have a good'un
  12. Rovers take on the Superhoops in what some say is a relegation six-pointer…young English midfielder sold to a club down south… Have your say on our prospects right here…
  13. Righty-ho… Ewood v Hollywood - here we go….play nicely Wrexham visitors 😉 Last time I was at the Racecourse, this guy scored the winner…
  14. Well well well, what a week. What will we see this weekend then? Can Rovers turn it around or just give up again? Will we see some sort of upheaval from the stands at the owners that have decimated this club over the last 13 years and counting or will there just be a crowd of happy clappers just happy to watch a bunch of young boys run around in blue and white shirts? What a fucking joke this club has become. Venkys out RTID.
  15. A few days before an important Championship match and no match thread so I thought I'd start one. The Hawthorns has been a decent ground for us in recent years with a mixed bag of results. We will be looking for our first double of the season having beaten them at Ewood of in the first game of the season. With three wins, two draws and a defeat in their last six games it will be a real test although goalscoring has been a problem for them. They will be missing arguably their most creative player in Diangana who is away with DR Congo in the ACN. Maja and Phillips are also out but Dike made a goalscoring return from injury recently and will be a real threat. Hopefully at least one of our injured players can return to strengthen us.
  16. Our home fixture against Watford on December 23rd will see the second Fan Takeover day. Following on from the success of the pre season fixture against Girona a number of supporter groups/organisations will be working with the club to bring you a Blue and White Christmas. We think that with the great value of the ticket offering we can help attract a bumper crowd and that Rovers fans from far and wide will come and cheer the team on. We hope those supporters who will be back in Lancashire for the festive period will come along, or why not gift a ticket as an early Christmas present to a friend or family member who hasn’t been to Ewood in a while? We’d like to see everyone in their colours, and the theme of the day is Blue and White Christmas. We Are The Rovers will be unveiling some new crowd banners we hope will become a fixture at home and away games going forward - please bring your banners and flags and get behind the boys! As well as the usual match day offerings there will be festive food and drink choices and offers on the concourse. We will be joined by other fan groups, including our good friends at BRFCS and 4,000 holes, Her Game Too, Proud Rovers and Rovers SAS in the fanzone prior to the game. We’ll have some festive gifts to give away and some activities planned. We’ll also be selling gift membership packs for anyone in need of a last minute present for the discerning Rovers fan. There’ll be plenty of updates between now and then so keep your eyes peeled here and on our new look website for that, as well as some exclusive fan driven content from BRFCS, the 4000 Holes podcast and Rovers Chat in the build up.
  17. Here we go again, the 2024 F.A. Cup. As the club have once again stuck two fingers up in the face of long standing loyal fans its looking like there may be more Cambridge fans there than Rovers. We should win this but who knows, honestly do we really care? Hopefully we steamroll this lot and get a generous draw in the next round. Would be nice to reach the quarters or semis. Venkys out ra ra ra
  18. Channelling my inner Chaddy I’m going for a 3-1 win. My team would be: Leo Travis. Carter. Hill. Pickering Tronstad. Wharton Ennis Sammie Siggy Telalovic
  19. I would make 4 changes for this game. Wahlstedt Hill Carter Hyam Pickering Travis Tronstad Garrett Szmodics Sigurdsson Telalovic
  20. Boxing Day…a sell out away crowd…can Rovers turn around the current form ? Add your thoughts and opinions here…⚪️🔵
  21. With the squad paper thin and Southampton winning again, my head says we will lose but after another home win following a raft of away wins my heart says we will continue with our incredible away form.. 2-3 rovers. Come on you blues!
  22. Hello from a Bristol City fan in peace. Ahead of our forthcoming game I’m putting together the opening post for our forum’s (One Team in Bristol, https://www.otib.co.uk/?_fromLogin=1) match thread, which will be posted the day before the match. I would like to include some perspectives from your fans so if anybody would like to share info please do, anything would be appreciated, fans thoughts about the game, players who have represented both clubs, tales from when we’ve met previously, a fans view on your season, pubs for away fans, etc. Look forward to receiving info and to a great game.
  23. I've just been told it was Lancashire Police who said if Rovers are giving Leeds 7,400 tickets then it's 12.30 kick off. If it's 3pm then you can only let them have 4,000 tickets.I Please tell me this is a wind up ? Preston came on a Friday night the other week without restrictions.
  24. Having enjoyed a number of wins at Hillsborough including two 3-0s, here is looking forward to Rovers returning with all 3 points on Saturday afternoon. For all the Wednesday corpse' Lazarus qualities against Leicester and Rotherham recently I think deep down we know three things all have to happen for Rovers not to record a 5th consecutive win on the road. - Wednesday have to play the best they are capable of - Rovers have to be sloppy - Rovers have to miss chances, probably a lot of missed chances Ok, so now I am worried... The probability is the Wednesday defense will offer more early Christmas presents than Rovers will. We have to make sure we are duly appreciative and thoroughly unwrap them. With 10 senior players unavailable I will still be more than happy with the eleven who finished against Birmingham and Garrett and Markanday are very decent options off the bench. Fingers crossed for Scott Wharton to be available and even more so for Dolan's scan. It looked a nasty one last night. Here is hoping Leonard, Szmodics and company score enough to give JDT the option to blood a youngster or two off the bench. Sooner or later, Adam Wharton and Tronstad will score, even a Pickering goal? And Sigurddson is over due adding to his 4 to date.
  25. Brum up next at Ewood. I really hope we can push on from our excellent win at Stoke City and get three points against Rooney's Birmingham. Let's hope no more bodies end up on the treatment table before K.Off and we get back to giving our home support something to cheer about. COYB.
