Time for some vengeance as we owe this lot a spanking... 20 years folks!  that was the last time we beat them lot down the road at Ewood Park.  Meanwhile, young Dolan has more scores to settle too.

Are Rovers a real contender for top 6 or are we bottlejobs?  JR gave us the key to the door... now we just need to open it! Typically we like playing QPR - but something in my boots tells me this could be tricky... Charlie is back scoring goals, and they have Johansen in midfield (who we were linked it earlier) so I think we can expect a bit of a scrap come saturday... more thoughts for you right here....

Win and we are back in, lose and I am back on the booze! Luton Town = Boogey Team! Who da thunk it!?  Not in 2021! This is our house! We might not be there but its ours...  They will come to frustrate, and annoy us, and if they get the first goal it could be a long 90 minutes!  But if we show them what we are capable of we can win this in style! 

40 years in the making... a Rovers win against Luton in the league! It happens tomorrow!

So we got away with one... it happens... we have been on the receiving end of some dodgy refereeing in the past, and I am sure we will in the future.  My thoughts on the matter would be in hindsight... one of two things should have happened.

1. Red card & penalty

2. Yellow card & penalty

I am of the mindset that unless something is malicious we stick with option 2.  Dont destroy the game for all of us, give the injured players team a brucie bonus penalty and the fouling player a yellow.  No double damage! Option one is only for a a malicious nasty tackle within the area. 

Homecoming for Pears, Ayala, Chapman (now at Shrewsbury) and the gaffa! Live in front of the cameras... I imagine a couple of things... 0-0 draw or a stonking defeat!

Hoping for a win... but can not see it at the moment!

One win and a bit of lady luck and we will be back in the mix... thats as positive as I can get.  Time for a change in formation for me, the 4-3-3 is flawed.  Bring back the 4-2-3-1.

Absolutely woeful display by Rovers. Out thought and out played by Stoke... AT HOME! The club needs some fresh ideas, and also bare in mind... Stoke didnt have a striker on the pitch! Livid.  Swansea on Tuesday will be painful.

One and/or maybe two new defenders inbound at Ewood so hopefully we can start to iron out the kinks with out forever shady defense.  Still gutted in the collapse of Pickering, is it all a lost cause or can we still bring him to Rovers?

Meanwhile, match preview & a watchalong in store...

Ecstatic for Dack and so relived that Trav came through that first encounter like he had never been away.  Also very positive mumblings about new recruits for our defensive crisis.  Can we tilt the mojo back on the positive track or is it still papering over the cracks?

Lets restart the belief of our club and start the year how we tend to end it... with a BANG! Show us what we are made of lads!  Expecting a standout performance from Big Ben if nothing else.

As for Mowbray, we may have hit a stagnant phase, and I would be one to explore other options however we may be wasting our breath as I doubt the hierarchy seem bothered about replacing him, especially during these times.  Match preview and more.

Typically pretty shitty on boxing day - hoping today marks a new era.  Rumours swirling that Big Ben might be in contention for some minutes - awesome belated Christmas gift if true.

Heard on the grapevine that Campbell is out which is a major loss for the hosts.  Originally gone with a draw, but that may swing back in our favour.  Match preview and more.

Stonker of a performance but biggest win all season - chance to reboot our campaign ahead of some key players returning in the coming weeks.  That result will bring in some much needed confidence ahead of a couple of tricky matches, i felt a draw or worse could have knock the belief out of us.  Relived too with Armstrong ending his good drought.  Bring on Stoke!

Its been said a few times already but we need to win this one.  Hoping we can see the best out of Douglas before its too late, I feel he is still trying to get rid of the cobwebs.  However patiences is running thin.

Big week this! Come on TONY!

Garbage! Too tired to give a crap.

Could be a case of square pegs in round holes again as TM patches up his defence.  Still waiting for the announcement of Dackarinhos return as it edges ever closer.  Win this one and we get ourselves a free hit against norwich on the weekend.  Hoping we can use the Brentford result to springboard ourselves a W midweek.

Expecting a tough one here which could define what type of season we will have... a win and I think we could bypass playoff contenders and enter the automatic discussion, however a defeat will leave us back in midtable.  Our season is not defined by this match, but a win will give us some extra lives down the road.  Match preview & more.

Riding our luck of late which could be the sign of a promotion chasing side?  Now we side stepped those bananas skins we have a couple of tricky away fixtures on the horizon.  Hope the news on Big Ben is positive, however Dack is on the verge of his come back.  

Need a Big W here as our next couple of matches will be tough nuts to crack.  Never liked playing Millwall as I am not sure which Millwall will turn up.  Happy to hear Douglas is in line to remain at LB (albeit Bell did a good job on the weekend) - match preview 

Dogged display but YUGE result which keeps us bubbling along as others above us slipped up.  If we can (dare I say it) make it 6 unbeaten midweek we could be in decent shape to make a top 6 push before the end of the dreaded 2020.  Recent goals from Gally and Big Ben have me smiling as if they continue to shine we might have the tools to surprise some more as the season goes on,

Could be tricky wicket this one as Barnsley are a different beast these days, however hopefully we will have the extra bounce in their step to kick onwards as the festive matches get closer.  Match preview and more.

About bloody time... happy as a pig in poop! on to the next one...

We are due a win against that lot down the road but will it be this week?  Positives from the weekend were the return of Douglas and the goal from Sam G.  Team selection will be interesting especially as to who will get the nod in midfield with out BJ.  Holtby may have arrived back just in the nick of time.  I believe we will get something here... will it be a win? Jury is out.

Decent performance at just the right time.  Now we can regroup and refocus for the festive onslaught which is just around the corner.  We never really do well in the festive fixtures but hopefully this year we can do different.  Happy for Big Ben getting in amongst the goals.  Stella performance from Buckley and JRC too.

I heard mumblings that Armstrong may in fact make this match but lets wait and see.  Whoever plays a dramatic improvement needs to take place as we cant be scraping draws at home like we did midweek.  Dare I say it, we have a good record against QPR and if ever we needed a bit of positivity it is now. Downing free kick to seal it?
