Thats how it goes sometimes, hopefully everybody will be back from suspensions and healthy for Chelski, anyone confident Rovers can pull off a win or at least get a point?

Savage is miles better than Ferguson I don't care what anybody says. Ferguson hasn't done much since he has been with the club, I havn't been too impressed. He is overrated and just a normal midfielder. Thinking that Rovers paid 7Million pounds for him makes me wonder what Souness was thinking but then again, I constantly wonder that about all his decisions, including those with his new rubbish club.

Sounds like Pederson played well for the reserves, a few more appearances there and it is likely that he will be given his shot as a sub on the first team. It's not that hughes doesn't believe in him, but unlike Souness I think he is not the type of person to throw a young talent to the wolves. Be patient and he might be given a chance. I think all the hype around him has got everybody thinking he is the next Henry. While that is quite possible lets just wait and see, he might be the next Grabbi!

The bottom of the table is so close, a couple of wins and rovers could be right up there with fulham and completely out of trouble. If they keep up performances like this from their offense and improve their defense there is hope. Great come back today, pleased with the result. COME ON ROVERS!

Gally!!!!! what is happening here? I cannot believe what im seeing...

Im not too surprised that the rovers defence is crap again. I don't have any suggestions except to wait for January and pick up some defenders. For any team to be one up and then be 2 down by half time is horrible. I've seen more skill playing pick up at the school play ground. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD NEVER PUT MATTEO, GRAY, OR TUGAY ON THE PITCH EVER AGAIN!

I'm beginning to question Stead, and whether or not he is the right man for the job. I mean, not only can he not score but he can't hit the broadside of a barn!

The Rovers are not only going to win on Saturday, they are not going to lose a game for the next 6 straight! Norwich Man City Birmingham Fulham Tottenham Crystal Palace

Gally scored one for the reserves vs man u. I didn't see De Pedro on the reserves list though, im curious as to where he went. This might be a stupid question also but whatever happened to Andressen?

Can anyone miss the game and take Matteo and Gray out to the pub sat afternoon? get them really ######, they will forget they even play for Rovers, and im sure the defense will benefit.

I have learnt three things today. 1. Lucas Neill is really good and should play more often 2. Gray is a useless sack of s*$& and should never play again. 3. Always fly Emeriates.

Lets face it though, Rovers are in dire need of some goals, and Bellamy has at least proven that he can score in the Prem. I don't know much about his attitude, aside from the occassional problems here and there, but maybe Hughes and him have a good relationship?

There is a slim chance of a draw, nevermind a win. Play some youngsters to get some experience or for the love of god play MGP or De Pedro. I know they are both probably rubbish but who knows, maybe they will pull out some of their tricks. What am I thinking, Chelsea should just put on a 3rd striker and let the goalie sit this one out; the water bottle will do just fine in his place. Blackburn 1 - 5 Chelsea Freidel scores a goal on a long clearance that knocks over the water bottle.

Here is the team and formation (5-3-2) I would like to try with Rovers. Dickov Stead Pederson Ferguson Djorkoeve Tugay Emerton Gray Matteo Short Friedel Rovers need someone to replace Tugay and a young defender...probably a more experienced striker to replace stead too.

I think 20,000 fans says it all. I wish Microsoft would by the club.

Maybe it should be "who would you keep?" Ferguson and Djorkeof (sp). Maybe Gallagher and Stead. Sell/fire the rest.

WHY? Why can't Blackburn win a %^$#^ game!? How can any group of individuals play so poorly, I'm convinced that If I just got 11 friends together (who never play football) we could at least give some of these teams a run for their money (okay maybe not but you can see where im going with this). Canada is now out of the world cup qualifying (not that i expected them to win), there is no hockey here, and now Blackburn can't even make an interesting season. At least the Bills are playing tomorrow. Even they suck!

Emerton seems to be on some what of a run so I'll go with him to score. "Boro has a good team so it will be a tough game, but with most of the blues back from injury hopefully Hughes will put together a good team. When are the set peices going to improve? Stead is gonna have to break this goal drought, he has been close lately with england so he is up for a streak. Rovers 2 - 1 Stead Emerton

Hopefully some rich group will buy 'em up and give the Coach 25million pounds a year to spend on transfers....oh wait that Manchester United. *shaking fist* Lets have everyone in the messageboard come up with some change to buy the club! I'll start us off with 5 dollars, but its Canadian so its more like 1 pound 50.

He still hasn't lost a game since joining newcastle.

get rid of all of them and bring duff back, put duff on with the reserves.

Sounds like its a divx file. You might need to d/l divx from www.divx.com

It's only charlton. Hughes will put out a good team and rovers will win 3 - 0. Stead scroing twice and dickov getting another.

Great result. New manager is off to a great start, maybe in a few weeks time the teams confidence will come back.

is claudio ranieri still out of a job?
