v Watford (h) 23/12/23
alcd replied to We Are The Rovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Hyam played against Watford so that's not sn addition. Gallagher won't last 20 minutes before he's sitting down rubbing his leg. Who said Pickering will be back. With this squad any absence seems to be 3 weeks minimum. -

Need 6 wins to be sure of avoiding relegation. Looking a tall order with this threadbare squad and calamity keeper. -

Wahlstedt can't hold on to anything. Happens time and again. -
Buckley was substituted late in the win over QPR with what is believed to be a long term injury. Doesn't look like he'll be coming back in January.

Apart from Rotherham at home in New Year I don't see much coming from a resurgent Watford at home followed by two away at Hudds and Hull. -

Thats a realistic assessment of where this season is heading now. Looking down rather than up. From the fixture list it's not a gimme to get 6 wins and a draw. -
v Bristol City (h) - 12/12/23
alcd replied to Jerseybean's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Ipswich are brilliant at finding space to pass into. Rovers in contrast make the game look terribly difficult at times. Too reliant on players having a perfect first touch. -

Moran showed the ball control of a pub team player after a night on the piss. An absolutely terrible performance from him and a total liability in this match. Should have been hooked at halftime. -

Groin injury looks like a recurrence of injury that kept him out for the first two months of the season. Presumably will be yet another player missing until February at least. -
I am unable to see any content on Rovers TV because of the log in problem. There is no explanation, apology or indication as to when the service will resume. It's utterly pathetic and just reflects the shambles behind the scenes since Waggot became CEO.

That was the match that Don Martin broke his ankle and was out for the season. A major factor in getting relegated. -

Even with sound finances Kaminski would still have been sold as he was understandably desperate to get an opportunity to play in the PL. -

Walstedt plays as if he's wearing oven gloves. Very little is caught so inevitably some clearances land with an opponent. He also lacks physical presence. Pears will be back between the sticks as abject as he is. -
Seems likely that Rooneys success at Derby may have been down to his assistant Rosenoir who has subsequently turned round Hull City.

v Coventry City (a) - 4/10/2023
alcd replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Absolutely nobody looks like scoring except for Szmodics and even he is having to double up as a creator of chances. No threat at when there's a loose ball in the box. No threat at all from corners and free kicks. Not much good at taking pens either in recent times. It smells strongly of a relegation season. Won't be coming back this time. -

Terrible midfield. Will be overrun even more than usual. -

Beale sacked as Rangers manager. Could they come calling for Jdt? -

alcd replied to speeeeeeedie's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Perhaps he didn't change the keeper because he doesn't trust the replacement - with good reason on the evidence of the 4th goal. -

We also had a shit goalkeeper and a midfield that was overrun in the absence of Bryan Douglas. -

Lose £15m a season and hope that you can develop young players of value to sell and cover the losses. Every season. Its the economics of the madhouse. -

alcd replied to speeeeeeedie's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Lot of much bigger negatives too. Can't actually see where the next points are coming from. The pretty football will disappear with lack of confidence and reality setting in. Can see some humiliations on the horizon if Jdt doesn't change tack. But I suspect he's happy with all the plaudits from the media and is just now waiting for an exit door to open. -

Correction, more likely bottom 3. -
v Leicester City (h) - 01/10/23
alcd replied to speeeeeeedie's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Except it doesn't look remotely like a team that will battle in the way that's needed to scrap for points. Incredibly soft defending/goalkeeping and not the personnel to just cross into the box and someone to be on the end of it. Will be bottom 3 by this time next week. Very worrying that Wahlstedt looks as feeble as Pears. -
v Cardiff City (h) - 27/9/23 Carabao Cup
alcd replied to philipl's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Agree but it won't happen. Wouldn't come for the wages on offer here. Also blocks opportunities for young players.
