Hughes?

Well come on..before the start of play it was obviously the most meaningless game of the day, its only because of the Wigan win which makes it more significant.

I actually think Souey is a bloody good pundit...The logic some ofyou give could be applied to youselves...All of you lot who post on here are @#/? at football, so are you not allowed to slag off professional players?

Im sorry, but i hate when people say, we must always play our 'best' team. Different players suit different matches (i,e, what the likes of Ferguson does at United). We are 3 points of 6th place FFS, get a grip! We're on a bad run of form/confidence...it's called football!! Get over it! Happens to every team apart from the top 3. A win at Bolton and Hughes will be King again ay!?

And its amazing how before the game, people we're saying this was the game to give the likes of Traecey and Rigters a chance! Now Hughes has done that, he's an idiot. Wake up people!

Well im sure if he had even a quarter of what most premier league clubs have to spend, he wouldnt need to play him!

Meanwhile Bruce indicated that they had received a tentative enquiry regarding David Dunn, but there had not been any "serious offers".

"He is fit now so it might be in our best interests to get a few quid and spend that on somebody else.

"As long as we get the money we want for him it will be amicable, but we've had no serious offers for him."

Bruce also said that if Dunn wasn't sold before the end of January, he would have no problem with considering the midfielder for a return to the team.

"I wouldn't say he's kicked his last ball for the club, but he is available," added the Blues boss.

"If he's doesn't go anywhere in the next three weeks then we may as well keep him.

"We've paid him for the last two and a half years so we may as well pay him for another three or four months!

"And if he gets fit and nobody comes in we've got a two year option."

I think he gives it away a bit that it's from us by using the phrase, "it will be amicable"

He wont even pass his medical IMO

First post on this issue (first post in about 3months for me!), lost all respect for the guy. Granted he's a quality player but he doesn't want to be here and we (its seems) want him out too!

EFF OFF Lucas

Exactly and a point I made here.........

What do you two expect, we're playing Liverpool, at Anfield! They're bound to have at least one spell in the game where they take control

This is getting beyond a joke- 'Lawro' has predicted yet another Rovers win.........sack the fool!

.............oh wait........

Think I'll stick to Moyles in morning........

so this programme will basically just tell us what everyboady knows

Hope Huth starts, he wont be totally match fit and IMO, he pretty crap

Well Boro have a Carling Cup game midweek so hopefully Woodgate can pick up an injury (just for our game of course nothing serious).

Well Boro are doing what we did under Hughes when he first arrived in trying to be hard to beat and have no actuall intent to win the game. This means if Rovers get their defence right, we can pick them off when they try to attack, because they'll be under pressure from their fans after 10mins if they dont try to attack.

Bentley - 6 - I cant make my mind up with him - looks good at times - @#/? others

Right, got the beer muchines so (as you will be glad to hear) rant over

I think even at this early stage of the season, everyone can see Bentley has improved a lot from last season and he will continue to do so I expect. I think he is just as good as Reid and could become some way better than him in the next couple of seasons.

Dont see what Lucas is doing wrong? He's playing very well for a right back playing at left back. (i get the feeling Mickey Gray is being punished for his actions with the Rooney's, which is the reason why Lucas is playing at all)

Also, does it really matter who the captain is? If a player is a leader, he is a leader anyway. I mean, will it affect how well Savage or Friedel plays if they are given the armband.

Obviously Lucas Neill is well liked inside Blackburn Rovers by staff and players which if makes the players happy, can only result in better performances which is all that counts.

I'll take the points but we really were quite lucky today. But confidence must be high now after the last couple of results which can only make us play better in the next game away to Boro (which is a game we should be confident of getting something from).

And Mokoena actually played very well for once in a position where he could come in handy. So there you go rovers6, thats why Hughes keeps on selecting him in his 16.

Btw- dont like to be negative and my post does seem to be on the negative side, so I'll just say, t'was a cracking match and worth the money i paid!

Ok team (assuming everyone stays injured)

Brad, Emerton, Neill, Todd, Zurab/Ooijer (can't decide which one to drop) Bentley, Tugs, Savage, Pereson, Jeffers and McCarthy.

subs: Nonda, Zurab/Ooijer, Mokoena, Gally, Brown.

Ok, I'll decide, drop Zurab- he cant head the ball and thats all you need to do against Corradi

Whats that coming over the hill.... is it a Nonda, is it a Nondaaa!!

Surely, "Whats that coming over the hill...Shabani Nonda, Shabani Nonda" has a much better ring to it

24 hrs on from the game and I have STILL NOT seen any of our goals...ridiculous!!!

Proof that you dont bother reading what anyone else says! (which means he wont be reading this )

The goals have been on this site thanks to Pabby for hours

Love the bias there! Our goals were good!?And theirs bad!? You ask if Salzburg were pleased with their goalkeeper?

Well we go into this game in good form, only 1 loss in 4.

I can see than run continuing.

Rovers 1-1 City

McCarthy (33) Dickov (82)

att: 21,065

top 3, so a draw's against the 4 other sides would probably see us go through

impossible i'd think, final cant be won on away goals can it

penalties?

Very pleased with the result (good to see that last sec goal go in for Salzburg as it keeps up our record:

I think last night proved Rovers should be able to score a few goals to win the game at Ewood meaning we go through. On away goals no doubt!

What are the odd's on Rovers winning the Uefa Cup without actually winning a game?!
