Didn’t Dave Gregory come back for a second spell and disappoint?

Whenever we’re discussing the likes of Bamford, I can’t help but think about bringing in other players down the years who used to be pretty good. John Radford and Fred Pickering in particular. It rarely works. Forget them and move on.

Such a fragile squad now. The club should never have been in a position where the January transfer window - when it’s always difficult to bring in quality players, was, in Eustaces’ words “vital”. It’s even more vital now. This just reflects so badly on everyone outside the players and manager.

Was that intentional TS?

There was nothing between the two sides today. Both teams defended excellently but Burnley just had that one goal in them. We didn’t.

I was just going to post the same Arbitro. There really isn’t any excuse. The manager has been saying for months that he needs “quality” bringing into the squad. It’s undeniable that we do. Waggott tells us there’s money available. To be scrapping around in the last hour of the transfer window having waited again to see if anyone’s available on loan from the big clubs would be just inexcusable but I wouldn’t bet against it. I doubt Eustace would tolerate that.

Leonard is 21 now. He should be showing more if he’s to make it at this level. Great battling display from Rovers. Very much deserved that point. We can’t be doing that every week though. Quality up front is desperately needed. There’s money to spend and we’ve had months to sort something out. No excuses from me.

Wow. Deserved

We’re looking tired now

Getting too deep now. No one at all available up front

Like everyone else says, defended from the front and defended well. Neither keeper had a save to make. Absolutely no pace anywhere. Im sure Rovers have a pacy, quality front man lined up already.

I don’t see too much quality in front of that back line.

I went to Anfield earlier this season when Forest won one nil. People were just writing the result off as a bad day for Liverpool. What I saw was a forest side who played 5 across the back with big lads in the centre of defence winning everything. They defended deep denying Salah and his mates no space to run into. Forests keeper wasn’t ever stretched. Up front down their left flank in particular they had skill and pace that threatened Liverpool more and more the longer the game went on. Forest looked a good side to me.

By and large, they don’t support them. They sit at home in front of the telly and wouldn’t ever venture to the matches. Youre a supporter Chaddy. You’re there at every opportunity and put thousands into Rovers. They don’t.

Neither of them are good enough Jim. Nowhere near good enough for any ambitious club.

Who’s Evan Ferguson and how can anyone be “partly” dead?

It was the fans favourite game of the 70’s https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/10456927.favourite-blackburn-rovers-match-70s/

Rovers/plymouth 2006 on this forum

It does to me. The fans that pick out a club to support knowing they’re not interested in actually going to watch them but only because they’re successful do my head in. They’re not supporters. Supporters support their club in practical ways and put their hard earned money into it. Can’t be doing with any of them.

That’s all fair enough. I would just add that the idea of playing inverted wingers is to have, for instance, the left footed right winger the option of going inside onto his stronger foot or playing the overlapping right full back in on his stronger foot. That gives a team all the options that other formations don’t.

Great that he’s improving. Good luck at the vets, hope they sort him out properly.

Hope you’re dogs okay roversndout.

🙂 they should all be like that Rigger.

I don’t think anyone is saying that wide men getting to the bye line is old hat because it certainly isn’t. It’s just a discussion about playing wingers on the “wrong” side. It’s just obvious that a wide man coming inside onto their strongest foot presents the bigger danger. Especially given that the prime objective of crossing from wide onto the head of a tall centre forward isn’t effective enough in modern football.

Not doubting that Tyrone, but you know full backs are always coached to push the winger wide, no matter which is their stronger foot. The bigger danger is when the winger cuts inside onto their strongest foot.
