That *was* the January Window
DackDackGoose replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
20m is useless with 5 days in the window to go.. we'll get relegated / hardly will go for a promotion push. I'd sell him and gally, buy a couple strikers, cm, winger and cb. No chance though -
v West Bromwich Albion (a) - 13/1/24
DackDackGoose replied to arbitro's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Bartley should be sent off there, 2nd yellow. Not that it matters, in 20 mins we're going to be reminded how bad gallys first touch is. To spin a positive note i agree with comments on garrett, very surprised how technically good he is, was it mowbray playing him as DM? or youth setup? -

Wow this defence is a shambles... -
Surely we're owed a twist of fate reversed from Hirst working out at Ipswich

Mcguire would be a good cheap punt ready for next year, from the highlights MLS defences look awful, his shot is too weak also, big risk. Need someone experienced ready for THIS year. Also not against a 6 month garrett loan out if we've a good signing/loan in (unlikely) - he would thrive. -

Tronstad is better at winning the ball back and protecting the defence imo, most our goals come from being wide open on the wings, commiting all our players forward. Trav tries to be box to box but only effective 1 in 10.. Wild that we can't afford to have a squad though.. too expensive to sit on the bench by the sounds of it. -

How many loan spots left? If its short term cover for dolan/hedges then fine, may not get a lot of minutes after. Trav is in a hard place, couple of times hes come on as a sub and not looked great imo. Tronstad has just like for like replaced him unfortunately. Who plays in there next though after tronstad/wharton? Garrett? -
v Rotherham Utd (h) - 1/1/24
DackDackGoose replied to wilsdenrover's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I agree, if we could replace our forward line on 60/70 mins with more energy we could stay on the front foot. Markanday no presence or pace and looked scared (garrett would have been better) ennis too slow, siggy and sammie had lost energy so we lost our press and dominance. Telalovic looking effective is certainly a bonus. This tactic is great to watch but impossible with a depleted squad. Hate watching us play teams like Rotherham - suck the joy out of football.. watching Morrison walk over to take every throw in was painful. -

The new booking players rule for throwing ball away / time wasting has been so inconsistant -

The irony of JDT being in the stands to see that.. stonewall pen -

DackDackGoose replied to philipl's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Wow - Be interesting if we can get a result with that bench. Just watching West brom - Leicester, night and day in squad depth. Maybe Siggy form was down to being injured again.. still not managed a solid run in team, seems all our forward line summer signings haven't worked out to be honest. Hope Leonard has a good game -

Gally won't be match fit for a while, Leanords done enough to keep him on the bench -
v Birmingham City (h) - 29/11/23 - 7.45 pm
DackDackGoose replied to Aqualung's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Better team with leanard over dolan, makes direct runs off the ball into box and had great link up play. Could be a solid player in a season or two. Lovely football, there was times i was surprised they'd managed to find a way through brums block. All attack though isnt it! Dembele looks half decent/a nuisance.. werent we looking at him? -

DackDackGoose replied to Aqualung's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
As a number 10 according to bbc football lineup. COYR important game to win if we're serious about playoffs.. shame only 2 players on the bench could make a slight impact. -
v Preston North End (h) - 10/11/23
DackDackGoose replied to simongarnerisgod's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Nowhere near 1st team ready for prem, he can tackle but shows no willingness or gut busting on defensive positioning, despite essentially being a DM (opposition must look at him and know they'll find space behind), shooting on goal is awful. It's just his ability on the ball creating space and passing. Doubt they'll offer more than 5-8m. Compare him to say Alex Scott who has a direct attacking threat. That game just showed to me when we run out of legs are defending from the front is rendered useless and the backline exposed. We need a no9 and reinforcements. Dolan is a perfect reinforment in my opinion not a starter. The boys against men thing feels more true when the ref doesnt penalise anything, annoys me when they approach 'derbies' different to other games -

Yep couldnt watch last couple games full match replays.. had to make a norwhich tv account 🙃 -
v Preston North End (h) - 10/11/23
DackDackGoose replied to simongarnerisgod's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Should have got a left back recruited if batty isnt being fancied, i don't think Trav is an awful RB to be fair. Time telalovic did something off the back of 2 hat tricks in the u21s ! Gunna be a tight affair I think as we're weakened.. Hope wahlsted has a good game. Dolan should be fired up as ever vs Preston. Im up in the lakes for the weekend, wish i could of got the fam too stop off for the game! (Come from down south). -
v Swansea (h) - 28/10/23
DackDackGoose replied to NeilInBristol's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Argueably JRC was never a right back Hill is good there, Brittain also looks a very adept RM. It's working why change it. I think we'll beat them would put wharton in smodicz role and smodicz in over dolan. We've still every chance of being high up the table come Christmas -
v Coventry City (a) - 4/10/2023
DackDackGoose replied to Herbie6590's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Very dissapointing result, a few observations. I felt the goal should have stood, just read it was the same ref who allowed the goalkeeper handball unbelievable. We must be worst in league at scoring from crosses into box/set pieces? JRC inneffective in midfield, though some promising moves. Travis v inneffective coming on against a team who'd parked the bus after scoring, pointless sub. Tronstad very effective imo, some positive forward passes. Would like to see more of him. Telalovic at least gave the ball to a teammate everytime he touched it. And he did manage a few touches this time. Sick of seeing dolan do fancy tricks just to turn backwards, whats the point of tricks if you never beat your man. Again so inneffectual. Markanday has looked ok. No idea how he managed to win so many high long balls. Siggy was selfish and had two players to square it to. Must feel a lot of pressure to do it himself though. Hill looks good, keeper didnt put a foot wrong but looks happy to play risky short passes, will get caught out. We need to start winning a few... -
Going off yesterdays showing he'd be a better #10 than szmodics, just edges him on technical ability, szmodics wouldnt be wasted as a wide forward imo. Can siggy play cf?

Goals galore recently!! God wish i had a way of watching this 2nd half -
v Ipswich Town (a) - 23/9/23
DackDackGoose replied to philipl's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Not the worst idea.. brittain can beat a player, great cross on him. Quick footwork. JRC played there in youth how come he's never had a crack at senior level? Hedges with end product would be quality, i think team is better with him in it in the build up, just he fluffs his lines every time. JRC may come good in the middle but definately needs a run of games which he won't get barring injuries. Siggurdson a shoe in on the left hopefully.. excited to see (i feel a lot hangs on it) i hope this means we just see dolan for last 10/20mins to chase out games -

when is the full match replay usually put on the website? -
On the other hand if we hadn't made those first three quick signings perhaps the small funds we did have wouldv'e been better reinvested.

DackDackGoose replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Wonder if they've arranged a behind closed doors game for the fringe players/ those coming back from injuries as not in the u21s at all. Telalovic to score a brace here and get our season going ! The mystery factor may work in our favour for a bit..
