Deflected I reckon

20 mins in and we look dead on our feet.

Keeper again? not only him to be fair. Awful.

The current two are the worst pair of goalkeepers I’ve seen at Ewood in my lifetime. Simply down to recruitment.

To a point he is. He can only play with the squad at his disposal though. Some fans, rightly and very understandably, are saying we should be less cavalier and far more solid at the back. Three points… where are the hard running, hard tackling experienced midfielders needed to give cover to the back four? Where are the wide midfielders capable of first and foremost giving cover to the full backs for ninety minutes? How is recruitment achieved? Does Broughton simply scout and bring in the players for JDT - or is the manager given full input and final say on who comes in? I suspect it’s the first option. Neither of those two have enough experience of English Championship football for that role. That’s where we are.

So the question is Tyrone, how much would Duggie and Ronnie be worth in todays market - in your opinion?

Glad you enjoyed it Bazza. 👍

Thought this was brilliant.

No I haven’t Bazza. I’ll look out for it. Milligan - he was a one off😀

Those Irish know how to do funerals. Loved it.

2-1

if we’re thinking those attendances are because it’s just the second division and smaller clubs. These are first division results and attendances on the same weekend.

Look at the attendances.

Fantastic footage.

West Ham fans were a pretty violent bunch at that time. The atmosphere outside the ground was pretty intimidating.

Good luck for Friday DeeCee. I will be thinking of you.

Did anyone else go down to West Ham for the cup game that finished 3-3? This guy scored all three goals that day.

Harsh Jim. Rovers are playing possibly the best football outside the PL. I can’t remember the last time it was as good as we’re seeing now. We don’t want to lose that do we? We want to build on it surely. what needs to happen is that those above JDT need to realise what we have and give him what he needs.

If people are looking to blame anyone then don’t be looking on the field or at the manager. Those guys are doing a brilliant job given their resources. Look above them. That’s where the club is being let down.

Thought PNE got lucky there. We did enough to win that fairly comfortably

We’ll struggle to score. PNE won’t give us the room that Norwich did. Plus….. they score on the break. 0-3

The problem is the rules are too rigid. There should be allowance for safety issues like helmet straps being defective. Time allowed to replace it by the batting side and time allowed for the bowling team to get their overs in.
