Last season was depressing, you did'nt know were the goals were coming from if Sammie Szchmodics had an off day. I am beginning to look forward to games from what i've seen at Ewood so far this season. We actually fight back if we go behind and have a strikeforce that can find the net. Early days but a lot more promising.

Not sure, i am hoping to be there tomorrow night.

They usually do at early round league cup ties.

I agree with John Eustace, cup ties are not our top priority this season. We did well in both cups last season and look what happened, players were burnt out in the last couple of months of the season, and we almost paid the price with relegation. I am not saying let other teams win, but realisticly can you see us getting past the likes of Man City; Man United; Liverpool etc. We have a flimsy squad and we don't want to many injuries.

Or play John Buckley and a few others, the same player that scored goal of the season and goal of the month against Birmingham and Preston in the not to distant past.

Or tomphil logic.

I don't think we've seen the best of Siggy, he got some stick last season when he was getting over an injury. Like you said fantastic finish had the Blackburn end buzzing.

I am teetotal, i explained to another comment, i am not brilliant at maths a rough guess.

I thought Oxford were decent opposition, we can forgive Yuki for an off day.

The frustrating part of Tyrys Dolans game, is he dithers and tries to go round to many players, when he should be getting more shots on target. He would be a far better player.

Yes not that brilliant.

There were'nt that many in the Darwen end, about 3 ore 4 thousand.

We were sluggish in the first half hour, Oxford looked the most likely team to score, it took there opener which was goal of the month to wake us up and Joe Rankin Costello put us level just before the break. We woke up in the 2nd half and started looking for the winner, a nice finish from Arnie Siggurdsen gave us the 3pts. This team unlike last season dont put up the white flag when they go behind, which is promising signs for Rovers supporters. One critisism is we don't get the ball in the box enough, when thers 2 6ft plus strikers waiting to get on the end of a cross. A decent winger would improve things before the window closes. Ohashi deserved the man of the match award.

Travis when he's 100% fit and on form is a useful asset to Blackburn Rovers.

All these negative comments, were not Brazil at the moment were trying to improve on last seasons disasterous slide down the table. We need to improve on last weeks game at Norwich, we were poor in midfield giving the ball away far to cheaply and failing to close down players which led to Norwich scoring their second goal. After saying that i have confidence in our strikeforce Gestede, Ohashi and Weiman. Lets hope we get our act together tomorrow and keep our 100% home record. Early days but there's signs we are improving.

I was talking to a Bolton fan who said Oxford played well in the play off final last season, let's not take them lightly. If we can win this one it's a perfect home record to the start of the season. We need to get it right in midfield, keep possesion and dont give the ball away to cheaply.

We were poor in midfield, obviously the gap left when Sam Szchmodics departed. We gave the ball away far to easily for my liking and backed off instead of closing players down, which led to their 2nd goal. We need to spend some of the money we got for Sam Szchmodics on a decent replacement.

Good luck to Sam Szchmodics, he gave his all for Blackburn Rovers. Let's hope Rovers continue from last week tomorrow.

With Sam Szchmodics gone, it might be a tougher fixture.

Norwich were well beaten in there opener, it won't be a stroll in the park.

Ipswich have agreed terms for Sam Szmodics, we need a decent replacement fast.

According to the BBC, Ipwich have agreed a deal for Sam Szchmodics. £9,000,000 expected to rise to £11,000,000 with add ons.

Specially if they score goals!!
