We lose BBD in January and kiss any chance of any PL miracles goodbye.

It would depend on if there's a strong possibility of automatic promotion as the rewards for the club are far greater and Brereton's value may even exceed £20m.

Looks like their £26m midfielder Lerma is out. Big blow to them. They thought he'd be back for this game. https://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/sport/19776776.lerma-hit-4-000-fine-two-match-ban/

Bournemouth fans forum thread. 48% think Rovers will win. https://bournemouth-forum.vitalfootball.co.uk/threads/afc-bournemouth-v-blackburn-rovers.15011/

That website hurts my eyes.

It’ll be a strange old season if Mowbray decides to go to League 1 mid-table Ipswich with owners that demand results. Not really a side step, more of a Moonwalk followed by falling unceremoniously off stage.

Not the curse!

I remember him on the the pitch at the end of a season saying he’d buy us a new stand if we kept supporting the team. Good times.

It would have been good if they replaced the Riverside with a smaller two tier stand bringing it to the same height as the rest of the stadium but around the same capacity as it is now (doesn't matter if it's less), space underneath for bars and refreshments and have it closer to the pitch. Always had a soft spot for that old creaking rust bucket though.

I don't think anyone has explained all this to them. They seem to think you make money from selling young players and that's that.

If you look on the Bournemouth forum there’s some fans who aren’t convinced they’ll stay in the top two.

Peacock was often in Utopia, usually staggering out at 3am. I remember on one occasion he was absolutely smashed, then he was playing the day after! Terrible discipline.

Looks like TM wants £20m for him.

You can’t admit to a squirm worthy comment about Wharton, then tell people not to be critical about a serial disappointment like Gallagher who cost £5m. While Brereton may be the one getting the plaudits, Wharton is the secret ingredient we’ve been missing. How many good results now with him in the team? Amazing player.

Let’s hope he falls back down. Couldn’t happen to a nicer set of fans.

Yet Preston fans are delighted with him it seems 😄

If only Dahlin had showed the composure of Flo that day. I was right in front of the unbelievable sending off incident but Le Saux was an absolute shit all match. He will forever be one of my favourite Rovers players but this match soured that. Considering he wanted to leave it made no sense that he should be so bitter towards his former team mates and fans. Perez was having a brilliant game too. One of the great Premier League referee muck ups along with those diddled losses against Manchester Utd. Anyone remember this "famous" Man Utd fan? And no he's not that bloke from Hills Have Eyes, or Jimmy Somerville.

I remember we were winning against play and were truly dreadful. It was obvious the wheels would fall off when Kean got found out.

Always a chance of staying up with Dyche and with January bringing new signings, I've always said he's one of those lucky managers that come along now and again. Dyche will probably get them back up in any case. If I were you my worry would be if they sacked him.

It was good to see Preston fans condemn the actions of the idiot minority. Apparently an elderly woman was threatened. I imagine that's who laid them out.

Bleeders more like, miserable bleeders. But class acts compared to their Dingle counterparts. The mods and admins on their forum are a bunch of clever folk. Won't wear a mask but happy to be tin foil two hats.

Some disgraceful Ched Evans chants from PNE yesterday apparently, reported by their own fans who have some decency. Aside from the usual disgusting chants about Jack Walker they scraped the bottom of the barrel with… “Ched Evans, he r**** who he wants…” Along with threatening members of the public. Scum.

Wharton’s a brilliant player and he’ll only get better with more matches. It’s like having a new signing.

Woke up still buzzing 😀 Been a long time since it’s felt this good to be a Rover and enjoying it while it lasts. Enjoying seeing so many turnarounds and the fan base united for once. Glad to see players come of age and Mowbray finally find a winning formula. Good luck to all of them. Ignoring the smug cnuts who think they are Nostradamus. They must be so devoid of any joy in their lives if they get kicks from slating their fellow fans after such a great win. But then they take great pleasure in seeing their club lose, the losers. A loss against Bournemouth wouldn’t be the end of the world, it’s what we do next that matters. If Mowbray resists his urge to tinker there’s no reason we can’t carry on this form for the rest of the season and achieve the impossible.

I hope Mowbray is given enough backing for good cover players, a cracking midfielder and replacements for Poveda and Armstrong.
