He and Szmodics can’t keep hold of it at all at the minute. -

They’re targeting our full backs big time. -

Looks like it’s Buckley who is the sacrificial lamb for an incoming or two. Dont know what else Gilsenen has to do to get a place on the bench. -

I reckon optimistic. As you say, unless reinforcements arrive. 3-4 needed - starters too. -

We have no pace all over the pitch. Will cost us time and again. -

Why is Brittain not starting anyway? Why is Gilsenen not in the squad? Scrap that, why is Gilsenen not starting over Dolan? -

I had him down as a super sub. I’m now even doubting that. I’d describe him as brainless on the pitch. What an awful start to this match from Rovers. Will get everything we deserve here. -

G Somerset Rover replied to Polky's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Okay I am being a bit harsh. But he’s got no composure at all in the final third. I can’t personally see that improving too much either - just doesn’t strike me as that kind of player. I actually think he’s a useful option from the bench against tiring defenders but he’s certainly not a starter IMO. -

Same for Dolan, minus the good footballer part (IMO). The end product for he and Hedges is absolutely terrible; they are like rabbits in headlights whenever they get into good positions. Agreed on Hedges being a good footballer though, he's a classy player on the eye. Markanday the jury is out on. Gilsenen has to be worth a punt over Dolan - particularly with Siggy still a few weeks off returning. -

I won’t bother getting excited. A PL side will snatch him off us for peanuts in the next couple of years I’m sure. -

Fair point. My wife may have a point about my memory! -
Could come back to bite me but I reckon only Leicester will be a real force this season - ala Burnley from last year. Too much talent to bugger things up you would think. I’m not convinced on Martin’s ability to get the best out of that Saints side, whilst Leeds’ squad looks so unbalanced with numerous off the pitch issues. I think a play-off position is absolutely there for the taking this season - once again - for any team with a half decent manager and side. I still think we’re two starting positions (CF/RW) away from that being us. Like others, I’m also starting to worry about our lack of physicality against the big sides too. Only two 6 footers in your side is going to represent real problems against the canny managers in the Championship.

Just watching MOTD back this morning. Poor Kaminski is going to get a broken back picking the ball out of the net with those defenders in front of him. As an aside, Van Hecke started again. I wonder if there’s a chance for a regular spot for him with Colwill now gone - I know De Zerbi likes a left footed centre half. -

I am more than happy to eat my words here about the lack of r*llocks on the boys. Come on and win it Rovers!!! -

G Somerset Rover replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Last week pulled the wool over a few eyes. The front 3 we’ve started with over the past two league games is simply not experienced enough - nor good enough. He’s had a bit of a stinker today, but I can see a couple of very direct conversations taking place over the next 48 hours between JDT and Swag/GB. -

Pretty much what happened last season too with the same outcome. Lessons were learned we were told this week(!). -

Gilsenen simply cannot be worse than Dolan. -

Yep, we fold like a deck of cards whenever we fall behind. It’s been this way for a good year or two before JDT got here too. A huge issue. -

Jesus fecking Christ, this stadium. Let’s just give them the 3 points next season and save the fans the bother. Not one set of b*llocks on this lot, yet again. -

G Somerset Rover replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Same sh*t different season at Rovers. Until we can roll up our sleeves at places like this and come away with 3 points, we’ll never get out of this league. What’s the betting we’ll be just as poor at coming from behind in matches this season too? -
v Walsall (h) - 8/8/23 - Carabao Cup R1

His position should help his cause as we’re not exactly blessed with wide creative types. He needs to be on the bench at the expense of Batty for Saturday. -

Either way, they're looking goosed before a ball is even kicked. -

Burnley signing Berge from Sheff Utd. No idea what the latter are doing; their two best players out of the door before a ball is kicked. Reckon Luton may even finish above them.
