  1. Typically would be a banana peel game, but there is a different feeling around the team now. Rovers to win 3 1
  2. Honestly get rid of Gallagher, split his contract to a three way boost to nyambe rothwell lenihan
  3. Will be a real hit for the fans, even if the finances make sense to sell him, although I would have hoped for 25 mill for him For the first time in a long time we are making noise regarding promotion and then we sell our key piece at the first time of asking. Brutal.
  4. Would Brereton be that motivated to go to Spain? Surely his huge aim is Premier League football?
  5. Spend what we can on one quality attacking midfielder.
  6. Lewis Travis: The Invisible Man
  7. COME ON!!!!! REAL STATEMENT OF INTENT
  8. How do people give Mowbray credit for Brereton?? If it wasnt for international football, do people really think he would be as good this year? We lucked out with his Chilian adventure
  9. Great win, opinion unchanged on Mowbray. Great to see the loanees contribute and buckley had his best game all season. Defense shaky but much better in attack.
  10. Buckley played so well today, shame he could not score
  11. I was shouting for Mowbray to leave, was similarly lectured by anothet fan that Mowbray is great etc
  12. Mowbray vs Kean? Same bullshit spouters
  13. "Should I like a post of my old mate celebrating the heaviest defeat of my club in its history given then have been supporting me through all my injury problems? Yep sounds good to me." I know footballers aren't the smartest but really seems a few of our lot (past and present) are really scraping the barrel.
  14. What you meant to say was "Lenihan was a poor midfielder prior to Mowbray coming in, now he is a poor defender."
  15. Preston beat Bournemouth away. They must have not got the memo Bournemouth are a premier league team
  16. VENKYS OUT WAGGOT OUT MOWBRAY OUT What else is left to say
  17. Worst home defeat in the history in the club and people still cant work it out ... Maybe we deserve this nightmare
  18. You have no idea Some older woman came up to me to tell me "he only had 6 fit players on monday, he is doing a good job," because i was loudly slagging off Mowbray they are simply not in reality
  19. Setting the Scene Wednesday’s match sees Blackburn facing off against one of the championship’s form teams in Fulham, who have won the last four on the bounce. This includes their latest match, a 3-0 victory over fellow favourite West Brom. However, Rovers also come into the game with two recent victories against Derby and Reading, so we should be in with a chance. With Fulham in 2nd and Blackburn in 7th, the match is great opportunity for us to stake a claim for the playoff positions or for Fulham to cement their status as one of the favourites to go up. The Opposition Having been relegated from the Premiership in 18th position, by a margin of 9 points, Fulham are hoping to return to the promised land at the first attempt. At the end of the season, manager Scott Parker left the club to take up the manager position at fellow Championship favourite Bournemouth. In his place, Fulham brought in Marco Silva, the former Hull City and Watford manager. In the summer, and unlike some relegated clubs, there was not a large exodus of players and in fact Fulham spent ~£12.5 million on bringing in Harry Wilson from Liverpool to add to their attacking options. With all the talent at the club, Fulham were predicted to be towards the top of the Championship. 10 wins in their first 15 games and boasting the league’s highest scoring attack, they are looking likely to fulfil their aim at the first time of asking. Star Man Too good for the Championship (60 goals in 97 games) but perhaps not good enough for the premiership, Serbian striker Aleksandar Mitrović is the man to watch. Having a tremendous year (18 goals in 15 games), we will have to keep him quite to have any chance in obtaining the 3 points on Wednesday. However, just behind Mitrović in the scoring charts, one Ben Brereton-Diaz is having a career reborn (12 goals in 15 games) and let us hope his form continues. Player Connections Fans will be able to spot quite a few former Rovers in the current Fulham team: former loanees Tosin Adarabioyo (red card suspension) and Harrison Reed as well as Fulham captain Tom Cairney. Looking back over the last twenty years I will start off with my least favoured shared connection. Midfield morons Dickson Etuhu and Danny Murphy, and his reported £50k a week contract, enjoyed successful careers at Fulham before we were unfortunate enough to witness them at Ewood. Clinical finisher Andy Cole left Blackburn, after relations between him and manager Graeme Souness deteriorated, to enjoy a successful one year with Fulham. Former Rover Damien Duff enjoyed successful spells with both clubs, making over 100 appearances for each. Premier league winning centre half Ian Pearce finished his league career at Fulham before retiring to non-league football. Competitive Record The first time the two clubs played each other was in the 1920/1921 FA Cup in a 1-1 draw. Since then, Blackburn have played Fulham in 93 total competitive fixtures having won 38, drawn 25 and lost 30. The largest scoring game between the two was when we unfortunately lost to Fulham 7-2 on a Boxing day fixture in Division Two 1956. Our recent record against Fulham has been quite poor, winning none of the last four games, with our last win being a 3-0 victory at Ewood in 2016 with Ben Marshall, Shane Duffy and Danny Graham making up the scorers. Final Thought There is nothing quite so satisfying as a well hit volley Come on you blues!!
  20. After his goal Dolan cost us two by ignoring diaz at every chance
  21. 5 points out of 18 Mowbrays Death Spiral to give us all Halloween chills
