The subs in the Ewood defeat still rankle. Dyche must have thought it was his birthday and Christmas all at once.

Burnley, 2.30pm Sunday.

Anyone else watch that and think... Fucking hell Bowyer...

Even the players were publically embarassed about their own fans not long ago.

Give him a break, he struggles to count above twelve.

Burnley will be this years Bournemouth, they'll throw the cheque book at it.

Anyone remember the build up to that game? I remember Rovers fans being especially cautious and Burnley fans going overboard about how they were going to win. The atmosphere at the game was very tense and the noise deafening, you could feel the hatred. Then we absolutely destroyed them. One of the best games I've ever witnessed at Ewood. Up there with the 2-0 defeat of United (94) and the 7-1 demolishing of top placed Norwich (92). Then Owen Coyle's Burnley came to Ewood and prior to the game there was lots of talk of how Burnley were now equals, with a PL team, players like Elliot and Eagles were going to destroy us, etc... 3-1 at half time (then the foot was taken off the gas and it ended 3-2). Then Venkys came along and gave them a voucher code.

Our first draw of the season and it's a win. Typical Tomasson. Amazing that the youngsters helped to win that shootout. Some cool heads there! What an amazing result. I see Adam Wharton only had 45 minutes. I think we'll see him on Sunday. Glad to see Vale get a goal and Hirst scoring his penalty. Hopefully it's given them a boost.

And their own town centre.

He was good for Southampton but only for a short period of time. To spend £7.5m on him was bonkers.

Southampton. Then we signed him, the fee went to his head and he played like he didn't want to be here.

That happens to be their brother.

Jimmy Greaves was one notable pundit who said Leicester should have gone up because they'd stay up. Not during the season, literally after we won the play off final it began.

Combined with this celebration in the centre circle.

If you ever read 90 minutes magazine, they didn't give Rovers much credit back then. I remember Stuart Ripley referred to as "dodgy Blackburn winger".

That guy struggles to referee with VAR. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Coote_(referee)

Please brie careful with typos.

After the last 12 years my suggestion would be to eat as much cheese as we can.

Me too, we aren't there yet. If we had a balsy midfielder and another goalscorer I'd be confident. I think JDT will want to defend with a hope of hitting them on the break, but we won't be able to get out of our own half. A terrible last 30 minutes where we have Hirst, Vale and Szmodics as our front three unable to do anything with or even retain the ball. Defence bombarded.

Rovers started getting stick when they first got promoted. I remember pundits and newspapers saying Leicester should have gone up as we'd just end up getting immediately relegated.

The dream would be beating their full strength side 10-0, sending them into meltdown and they end up with back to back relegations after reappointing Owen Coyle whilst ALK fritters away all their money wouldn't it?

Tella didn't look as effective up front but Rodriguez will be back for the Rovers game I imagine.

Both strikers out is ideal for Mowbray as he doesn't like to play that way. If he's struggling for goals then in January he'll sign a couple of wingers and a defensive midfielder. He'll blow all his money on a striker when he needs a couple of defenders, then play him on the wing.

Needlessly red carded in an under 21 game, mouthing off to fans. He's gone in January.
