He was a better player with one leg than most are with two.

Good post. I think folk just desperately want the lad to be a £7 million striker, I know I do, because that would be a huge benefit to BRFC.

The 1986-90 version of Garner would have held his own in the old first division. This might sound odd given he's our record goalscorer but I always felt as though his finishing wasn't quite top notch. It always amazed me that he rarely took penalties as well. He was okay when he didn't have time to think about it though and in his later years he was good at bringing others into play and a good crosser of the ball. I assume the main reason he didn't play at the top level was because of his reputation for off the field enjoyment, e.g. booze and fags. He scored often enough in cup games against first division teams to not be afraid of their defences anyway.

It makes me quite emotional seeing some of these old games. Ewood was a right shithole then but my God I used to love going down there.

Going back to the game - I really enjoyed the match. I thought we controlled it for the most part - although in typical Rovers fashion we somehow managed to go 1-0 down from Bristol City's first foray into our penalty area but credit to the lads for coming back so quickly and so strongly, something that hasn't always been in evidence in recent years. Tony got most of his decisions right, including picking Corry Evans. The lad was outstanding. Having suffered a very similar facial injury to his I know how much bottle it takes to come back from, and to do it with such class and tenacity was wonderful to see. I thought Travis was equally immense. Brereton made a right nuisance of himself and deserved a goal really, maybe a few crowd-less games will do the lad some good? JRC slotted in well at left back, though the pattern of play meant that their dangerous winger was limited in his ability to expose JRC, and of course the lad had a perfectly good goal chalked off. Credit where credit is due, Bennett had a very decent game, he kept it simple and was a lot more effective for it. Good tactic to replace the front three on the hour, particularly with the introduction of Arma's pace and DG's guile. A very comfortable last 20 minutes, the game management was good again. Finally, I thought the iFollow service was really good. I know it has had its knockers and maybe the good performance and result is colouring my view, but the pictures were sharp and the commentary was very good too. Bring on the pie-eaters!
