I think Grealish is one of those players who would thrive at a club where he is the main man, as he was at Villa...a little bit like how Bellamy seemed at his best during his one season at Rovers. I don't watch City but doesn't he also get played out of position a lot as well?

News From Other Leagues

Tough job at Burton but I hope Gary Bowyer does well there, and if they do go down I think he's a very steady hand to have at the helm in League Two. -

For all of Pep's own personal successes, the concept of Pep ball that has filtered its way down the divisions is beyond irritating. -
v Millwall (a) - 21/12/2024
sharpysharps86 replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Rovers have won their last two league games at Millwall, hopefully they'll make it a third win in 3 seasons there. Interesting situation with them now looking for a new manager, slightly similar to when we played Hull the other week. Hopefully the result is the same as well! This marvellous run will end at some point, I can see a frustrating 1-0 defeat here with Millwall scoring a scrappy goal. Predicted team: Pears Brittain Batth Hyam Pickering Travis Tronstad ACD Cantwell Beck Gueye Honestly its a toss up between Ohashi and Gueye, but I do think Yuki is better as an impact player when defenders are tiring. If Brittain is not back yet then JRC retains the right back spot. -
Errrm, ok...? Not sure what your point is. 😅. As I say, hopefully they don't come near JE.

Russell Martin has been sacked. Hopefully Southampton don't come sniffing around Eustace.
-
Saints should stick with Martin for two reasons: 1. They're going down anyway, nobody is going to come in and change that. 2. It's REALLY funny

Absolutely beggars belief. What exactly were their expectations this season other than to just try and compete. -

He might well be ready to get back in, but that is a heck of a distance from his family. Probably more likely to take a job closer to home. I'd be really surprised if Mowbray turned up at a club down south. -
John Eustace - our head coach
sharpysharps86 replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I do worry that when Wolves inevitably bin Gary O'Neil that they might have an eye on Eustace. Unless their owners think they can get a bigger name. Waggot has managed to stumble upon gold dust here with JE as he seems so far to be an upgrade on JDT at this level at least. Not suggesting JDT is a bad coach....just that he wasn't able to switch things up enough in style of play against certain Championship sides when needed. Eustace appears to be able to adapt to different teams more comfortably. -

My dad used to call him (and still does on occasion) 'backwards Batty' 😂 -

sharpysharps86 replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Rovers have now won one more game than Burnley after both sides have played 20. Not sure anyone would've predicted that at the start of the season. Every credit to John Eustace and a group of what appears to be very well drilled players. Still an awful long way to go this season and Rovers will surely have a poor run or two to come, but we can be so very proud of them at what is 3 games shy of the halfway stage of the season. -

Fantastic win, 6 in a row is incredible. 5 clean sheets in a row even more so. Loving every second of this while it lasts. Believe Matt Smith is a Rovers fan because his mum is possibly from the area (not 100% sure on that but I seem to recall reading it once). Also huge nerd-alert admission here but I once met him at a Doctor Who convention. It was the day Rovers lost 2-1 away at Bolton in around March of 2012, the season we got relegated from the Prem. Spoke to him for about 5 minutes and in that time all he talked about was Rovers (I was wearing a Rovers shirt at the time). Anyway swiftly moving on, only things missing today for me was a goal for Ohashi and another for Gueye. Would've been the icing on the cake. -

Stoppage time equaliser for Leeds. Preston continue to draw practically every game it seems. -
v Luton Town (h) - 14/12/2024
sharpysharps86 replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Looking at Luton's recent results its a real mixed bag, the definition of an inconsistent mid table side. Will be interesting to see what Eustace does regarding team selection. Is Brittain still going to be missing? If not then he'll have to make a choice for right back as well as who comes in for Cantwell. If Brittain is available then I can see JRC being pushed further up on the right and then Dolan coming into the middle....Alternatively I wouldn't be surprised to see Ohashi move back into the number 10 role with Gueye coming in from the start after his successful cameo in midweek. Either way, Cantwell is a big loss. I think it'll be a draw. 1-1. -
Championship 24/25

Probably not the best choice of words from Harris but he's got a point. Booing a 1 nil loss at home after they had just gone unbeaten for ages at The Den. I think like Rovers, many would have had Millwall under Harris to be down fighting relegation this season but he's done really well there. Crucial for them who comes in next. Their last appointment post Rowett and pre Harris did not go well. Could work in Rovers favour given we play them soon too. -
v Sheffield Wednesday (a) - 10/12/2024
sharpysharps86 replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Only just found time to come on here but WOW, what a win....another 1 nil as well. This team is continuing to surprise me since the Stoke defeat. From no away wins to 4 in a row. That is really impressive achievement and Eustace continues to work wonders with this group of players. Delighted for Gueye. Many of us have been critical of him and rightly so as he's been poor, but I don't think you'll find a single Rovers fan on here who isn't delighted to see him on the scoresheet. Simply wonderful. -

sharpysharps86 replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Think this may be a game too far for Rovers. They've done magnificently to win 4 on the spin but away at Sheffield Wednesday, I have a bad Coventry away feeling about it for some reason. A draw would be a very good result here. Going for a 2-0 defeat 😞 Predicted team: Pears Brittain Batth Hyam Beck Travis Tronstad Dolan Cantwell Hedges Ohashi Would like to see ACD get a chance but doubt this is the game for him. More likely to get more minutes at home to Luton at the weekend I reckon. -
v Hull City (a) - 07/12/2024
sharpysharps86 replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I suppose I am thinking more of the second half of last season when we were pretty much solely reliant on one player to score the goals. We are scoring less but are far more solid defensively. -
v Hull City (a) - 07/12/2024
sharpysharps86 replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
There's no doubting Rovers are lacking a consistent and proven goal scorer, but unlike last season there is a greater variety of players that are chipping in with the goals. If Rovers had a 15 goal striker alongside this group then they'd likely end up comfortably in the top 6. I do bloody love Yuki Ohashi though for his work rate alone. The fella just needs a tap in to get back on the scoring trail. -
v Hull City (a) - 07/12/2024
sharpysharps86 replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Eustace continues to get the absolute max out of this team. Was a tricky one, horrendous weather conditions and it was hard to tell what we would get with Hull having just appointed a new manager, even if he wasn't technically in charge today. Rovers appear on the face of it to be a consistent goal scorer away from being a solid top 6 side. We all know that there are weaknesses but Eustace is doing well to nullify those at the moment. It won't last forever, but lets enjoy a 4th win in a row for now :). -

Definitely need a sucker punch 2nd goal here.
