That winning run didn't include Gallagher though. The problem with Gallagher is when he plays as this 'wide striker' role, he is simply ineffective picking the ball up outside the box or out wide. The winning run predominantly had Khedra in the side who, for his faults, can pick the ball up anywhere in the opposition 3rd and drive forward and look dangerous. If we are to persist with the formation which has gotten us this far, I think it has to be BBD and Khedra / Dolan in that role.

The stats for BBD in games he has played for Rovers recently don't make good reading and are a problem. I was more picking up on the fact that you were including games which he couldn't possibly have played in to make those stats worse. Games when he wasn't available as a first team play, just as Bradley Dack wasn't.

This is true, but therefore BBD scored against Argentina 😄

Rovers have gone over 40 games since Bradley Dack last scored. Fact. It’s a useless one mind you.

Problem is we would have played Carroll like we expected him to be Chris Waddle.

Better 2nd half. Back 3 outstanding, especially Nyambe. Bank the point and move on.

JRC or Deyo. Who Zeefuik is worse?

This is lacking basic ball retention. It’s like we’re 1-0 up in the last minute of a crucial cup tie.

Who, even under their previous manager, have only lost once at home and have by far the best home defensive record in the league.

Yes

Dembele 95th minute winner for Bournemouth

Results are currently going ok if you look up. 🙄

I remember Kevin Keegan said in the interview after the game that Gillespie himself said it wasn’t a penalty and that he ‘anticipated’ the contact and went down. I think that was Keegan doing Kenny a favour and taking any controversy out of it. I remember at the time thinking Penalty but watching it again it’s a rash challenge but he dives in mid air. It’s about 1hr 42 in on here.

I’ve only just seen a clip on twitter and haven’t heard any commentary or opinion. But if it’s not a foul (which Im not sure it is), then surely it has to be disallowed for offside. edit - Although apparently he doesn’t give that either

They mean “it’s too expensive…..when I can get it for free”

And I’ll say it again, on a weekly basis I talk to people around Blackburn who watch every game, who know all the players and who are fully tuned up on what’s happening at Ewood.. Many are former attendees, either regular or casual, at Ewood and yet have not been for several years. Stop iFollow thus stopping illegal streaming and attendances will go up. It really is the elephant in the room.

I’ve said it before. Ditch iFollow. Stop streaming the games. Get the IPTV viewers or dodgy streamers back in the ground.

Rovers odds against to not finish in the top 6. Fill your boots lads.

Completely off topic, but if Rovers thought Speedie's contribution was so difficult to replace and was probably worth £750+ to replace, had we gone to Southampton with £4million instead of £3.3million I'm sure they would have took it. Don't get me round I was gutted he left, but considering we could outbid and buy most players in the league at that point, we could surely have increased the bid to an offer that Saints couldn't have turned down.

It looks like you may be right reading the rule. So if a long ball if punted up field and Brereton chases it down the wing from the halfway line, finally gets to the ball level with the penalty area and the flag goes up, the defending team is ‘penalised’ by having the free kick on the edge of their own area instead of on the half way line. Odd.

Quick thoughts. Buckley has gone off the boil. As he’s playing so far forward, Id put Khadra in that position and bring Gally in. Sitting in line with the linesman on the JW side, he was atrocious. Never up with play, got several decisions wrong and it sums him up he didnt even know the basic offside rules. He waited for the attacker to get to the ball before he flagged and then made the free kick be taken from when he received touched the ball rather than when he was offside when the ball was played. Nyambe may be better that Zeeifuk going both ways - not just defending. We’ve been sussed by teams sitting deeper and we know from experience we don’t change and never have a plan B. If you throw a bottle on the pitch you’re a nob.

Pleasant surprise to see Dolan on the bench.

Just completed Resident Evil Village through, loved it and then played it straight through again. If you like RE games and haven't played it give it a try. I'd say its the best one since RE4, and isn't far behind that one.

A lot of Giles balls were more chest height rather than up in the air. I think anyone with a goalscoring instinct would benefit. Biggest beneficiary if he is fit this season could be Dack.
