Yes but it could go the other way! The 2002 cup final win spurred the team on for the rest of the season. Confidence comes from winning matches so don’t belittle a win against a middling Prem team in the FA Cup. Might work wonders for the club and supporters

What are you on about? The lad has been injured for past 2 months and hasn’t played any competitive football. He’s probably not ready. Ffs the new manager has been here one week and you have him writing people off because they’re injured. Get a fucking grip

I’ve teetered and finally fallen off. After 59 years following Rovers all over the place my season ticket has been binned a couple of weeks ago. Never going on again until they F off (probably pop my clogs before that). Can’t stand it now at Ewood

Be a lot better than the shit show that is Blackburn Rovers

Depressing isn’t it

That’s it for me this season at least. I’ve lost all hope at this moment for this once magnificent club. Season ticket binned. 59 years attending. I’m done until these disingenuous owners and their yes men leave. Hurting me but I have to walk away for my sanity

Ha ha either or to be honest! Never thought of that lol

Cos he smiles a lot and has played in the World Cup mitigates the fact that he is a shit head coach. Add in his condescending attitude to everyone who questions him by deflecting his answers to the “new coach”. He wins some people over. Not me. Fucking clueless. He has no fucking idea how to set up a team not to concede. Oh for Howard Kendall

I think you need to use our local fan base as East Lancs instead of just Blackburn as do Burnley and Stanley. Then you’re talking around 550000 population. Most Burnley fans live in Nelson, Colne and Padiham. Hardly any in the town itself

Almost right. DE and BBE 8000 each, JW 11000 and Riverside 4500 ish. Hence capacity 31500 or just above or below

It was usually “Andy Crawford 1 ~0” Game over. Jack didn’t like us or Kendall much did he! Howard Kendall was the best manager in football at Everton in the 80s and was pretty bloody good at little old Blackburn Rovers beforehand. My second favourite in my lifetime after King Kenny.

And didn’t that wind Jack Charlton up a bit ha ha

Ronnie and Bryan came to my dads pub in Ossy (Tinker and Budget) in 1968/69 on a Tuesday darts/doms night just to push over some pennies on a pint glass. Imagine 2 England internationals doing that now for nowt apart from Garth Dawson taking your pic for Accy Observer!

Burnden was a horrible place to go in the 70s I got a right kicking at the bottom of them steps outside the away end after a match in 1975. But I remember the 60s when Rovers would take the Leaver End without a punch being thrown. They were shit scared of Rovers Grebo following (most or whom had no connection to Blackburn) who came for a fight!

Yes great to see Trondstadt filling that position we’ve been so obviously missing all season. Could be advantageous now for Adam to do his stuff further forward now we have a midfielder to break up play and protect the defence. Think this set up would suit Bucko much better whom we need to recall in January
