Or Burnley at our place and turn them over. I love the cup and hate how the big bucks of the premier league have ruined it.

Call me a traditionalist, but I will be pissed right off, if we lose this by fielding a badly weakened team. Granted we are on a great position in the league, but we should be trying our best to make it through and pocket the money and the chance of a lucrative draw in the next round.

It is a concentration thing that, rather than a lack of ability, as I do believe he has the ability. Cut that out of his game and we have a quality player, at our current level. If we lose him for nothing in the summer it will be an outrage.

I suppose under Venky’s, it could be argued that we are, as I for one, consider that still being in existence, is probably more than I dared to expect roughly 4 years ago.

I rate him and strongly disagree with him being singled out by the manger. To play Bennet in front of him was a joke and I have to say he is one of the best full backs (wing backs if you like) in the current championship.

Hopefully Ryan goes nowhere near this site, as anyone reading some of this, would think we have a liability on our hands.

Exactly, yet Roverite seems to want to blame Nayambe, for almost every goal we have conceded, when he is playing.

Well if you don’t need to go any further what about this. Kaminski needs to start upping his game, as all the goals this season, went between the sticks that he is supposed to guard. His deputy didn’t concede any, so why has he conceded some? I think you have a very strange agenda and I guess you are one of these bully boys, who frightened Big Ben to death in his first couple of years. I suggest you get a grip on reality.

Okay then, just so that your theory isn't also debunked, with of the following would you put down to Nayambe's fault? Swansea 1 07/98/21, Millwall 1 14/08/21, Forest 1 18/08/21, West Brom 2 21/08/21, Middlesbrough 1 28/08/21, Luton 2 11/09/21, Cardiff 1 25/09/21, Huddersfield 28/09/21, Blackpool 2 02/10/21, Coventry 2 16/10/21, QPR 1 19/10/21, Derby 1 30/10/21, Fulham 7 03/11/21, Sheff UTD 1 06/11/21, Bristol City 1 20/11/21, Barnsley 1 29/12/21

Looks to me like the American takeover, was a huge mistake. The old directors have taken the money and run. I suspect a relegation, will be a disaster and see them struggling to make it back to the prem. As for the Dyche out agenda, that’s plain crazy.

Not at all, I am trying to put over, how great it is to be able to look forward to each game. It’s as positive as we have been for over 11 years.

Looking at this in a positive frame of mind, we are still 6 above what could be deemed a play off rival, who are sixth. We have a game in hand and a better goal difference. They came to Ewood on the back of 3 wins, so like us, are in decent form. It goes without saying, a win would have been wonderful, but it was important not to lose, given the opposition. We are still in with a great chance of the top two, so all still to play for. So far as the game was concerned, hard after the first 25 minutes, but an awful pitch given the rain. Very solid at the back again, all hard working and yet another clean sheet. With a two week break from league action, we can rally the groups. To me now, it’s a case of one game at a time, with fingers crossed, we don’t sell anyone.

His contact ends in the summer. Unless we go up, or come very close in the play offs, I can’t see it being renewed.

Its on Rovers TV for those living abroad, so I would think so,

Neither do I but we can hope!!

With the current crowd funding going on to bring the Chilean musician (Renzo music) to a match at Ewood, surely that’s another reason why Big Ben will at least see the season out.

A bit of a cart horse, but tried hard.

The match was beamed back to Ewood, which is where I saw it live. It looked nailed on then, but even more so, when I saw the replay later.

Simon Ireland.

Keeper and center back both clattered him. He was sent flying, but no hint of a dive. It was an awful decision.

This is a game against play off rivals and therefore avoiding defeat will be important. I believe we can win it and if we do, we are definitely entitled to think even bigger and be serious top two contenders.

If you think that was bad, search for the Ashley Ward incident V Charlton away, the year we were first relegated from the prem. For anyone who has the footage, please post it. On match of the day that night, Alan Hansen said, “ I feel sorry for the player, the manager and all the supporters, as you will never see a clearer penalty in your life”. Needless to say it wasn’t given, the game finished 0-0 cost us two points and we were relegated soon after. Despite by blue and white blood, I personally have never seen a referring decision as bad, either in the flesh or on TV and I have been watching the game for 50 years.

We got decent money for Grant Hanley and I consider Lenihan to be twice as good, so agree with what you are saying.

Yep you are correct.

He brought Dolan on at the same time as Gallagher.
