That's it well done rovers

Dropped really deep, dangerous free kick.

Was that an elbow on Evans?

Oh jaysus the last 20 minutes will be cruel 

I'd do anything to see us hold on and stop these equalisers late on.

I was thinking why Conway. First touch and a great delivery.

Well done Lenihan, belter of a header.

Roofe off for Hernandez for Leeds.

Conway on.

Reed down.

Bereton wide right, Dack up top. 

Graham off, Bereton on. What a chance to get his first goal.

Bereton coming on.

Rodwell for Smallwood.

Dack had been poor today must be said, surprises me.

Leeds didn't deserve that....we lack concentration at the back....our Achilles Heel.

It's cost us time and time again this season, Lenihan looks clumsy and rash whilst Mulgrew doesn't look himself and his lack of pace against anyone counter attacking is throughly noticeable.

We should have been 2-0 up at HT not 1-1. Dack and Arma both with chances which they should have done better with.

Same dopey Rovers

Our energy and closing down so far has been second to none. We're constantly harassing them, not letting them have a moment to think. It's the total opposite to what we saw in the last match, we look completely revitalised.

Spot on and it should be our identity for every game.

Loved that Reed dead chase, gains a corner. What a player.

Smallwood chasing shadows again

Leeds to quick for him, Lenihan is just too rash.

Don't be such a cock. Simple as. Manchester is part of Lancashire. Greater Manchester is a Metropolitan Council not administered by LCC.  Look at your history books. Simple as.. Oh and Liverpool is not Lancashire?   Leeds is West Yorkshire not Yorkshire,? Do your homework first. Simple as

As a Manc is he a Lancastrian or a Manc. Pound to a penny he’s a Manc first and has always been.

Bolton don’t even see Rovers as a rival they’ve traditionally viewed their derbies as Manchester United and Bury.

Hear you, but the 2 centre backs are undroppable with tony. And we've spent all our money on 2 strikers who are on the bench every week pal. 

We lack height more and more games we play it’s evident why we chased Patrick Bauer

He's spot on and I'm glad he isn't coming out and saying he's happy with that performance. Three points is great but we need to be much better than that. The mentality after we scored our goal was all wrong. It obviously wasn't the plan, so it's something for Mowbray to analyse and work on during the international break. The Championship is wide open this season and with the right mentality we can potentially have a really good year. There just needs to be much more confidence and self-belief. I have to assume our recent inability to see out games combined with the terrible performances against Derby and Sheff Utd have taken a bit of a toll on the players. Hopefully that can be rectified because there really is nothing to fear in this league. 

 Well said. It’s very close this year.

Now we know you're a troll after the Rodwell line. Do 1 please you silly. 

First half he had a very good game. Very much forward passing and his ball work was good. Tired and rightly taken off as he’d run out of puff. I mean a cup game and 1x u23s practise he did well. Rodwell when fit will be 3x the player than Lenihan is. His past shows he’s capable of that.

Google puts Bolton as 35 minutes drive from Blackburn. Liverpool at 59 minutes. So, no.

Also, their distance from Lancaster is irrelevant, just their distance from us. Bolton is a derby...it just isn't the derby.

Think you’ve the wrong cut of my jib I was comparing the distance of Wigan the example another poster provided. Appreciate your view on Bolton as I’d imagine it’s an age thing certainly from working there ten years ago there Derby was Man Utd and rivals Bury. Wigan was a casual thought like Rovers.

He's the troll formerly known as DunnFC. A wrong 'un.

Not sure of what you mean there my friend in regards to “troll” but I can assure you I’m not another poster or imposter!

I'm not even sure why he keeps bringing up Preston when the derby in question is Bolton v Rovers. He is Scottish though so I suppose we'll have to humour him. 

PNE is a rival the derby the hate game is Burnley. Yes I’m Scottish and also now live back there most days. English humour well it’s kind of selective isn’t it ?

Shame you’ve no pride in our ancient county Scotland1 (assuming you have some link to Lancashire) going back nearly a 1,000 years until some bureaucrat in the 1970s in London decided to alter the boundaries. 

I’ve no particular interest in Bolton, but considering it’s next to Darwen, it is by definition,  a local derby, end of.

No offence caused Matthew just a reflection on what I’ve percieved.

I thought it was his best game this season, at the same time admitting that’s not saying much about his form so far

He looked better granted. But he’s awful at centre back, far to rash far to woefully lacking in any positional sense. That said he’s never a chance in midfield after a Rodwell performance tonight.

Just now, blueboy3333 said:

WTF

Your clearly struggling.

Both Wigan your example and Bolton are closer to Manchester than the nearest largest Lancashire settlement; Preston. Or the actual heart of Lancashire, Lancaster. 

The boundaries altered in 78? Which saw Warrington classed as Cheshire, Liverpool as Merseyside a place closer to Wigan than Lancashire, and Your old towns such as Bury, Oldham, Bolton m, Wigan etc reclassified as Greater Manchester.

Therefore unless your a womble or historian its another county and not a local derby, as I say it’s not even the same county therefore as I say it’s Burnley closest rival and PNE as a local rival. 

Sod the rest of them like Oldham and Wigan they don’t even register ?

Mancs are from Manchester, not Bolton. Or Wigan. 

Wiganers are closer to Manchester and Liverpool than Preston or the heart of Lancashire; Lancaster. Same for bolton.

or we’d be arguing Liverpool and Everton is a derby.

Both towns are Greater Manchester.

When BWFC started they were in Lancashire. When Greater Manchester has a cricket team we an call it a proper county.

It's a local derby by definition. The end.

I kindly disagree. Mancs are mancs.
