I remember Dailly playing in a game against QPR I think at the tail end of Kiddo’s reign. We were losing 1-0 with about 5 minute to go. They knocked a long ball out onto the wing in our half. Dailly set off after it with a QPR forward just behind him. The pitch was greasy and it wasn’t a place for fancy football. The ball had go out for a throw in, it’s a pisser, but that’s the only thing you can do. Instead of that Dailly tried to turn with the ball, lost it, their forward got possession, squared it to an un-marked player, 2-0 , thanks for coming. Amateur level football. The crowd booed Rovers off and I said to my son “ Don’t worry, Kiddo will be gone after this “. And he was.

Hi Matey, I went to the game on the 13th of Oct 1970. Rovers played more or less a reserve side and lost 2-0. I used to have the programme but I gave it to my son a few years ago and he subsequently sold it to a Rovers collector on the internet. If I recall correctly it was just a single sheet of paper with the teams printed on it.

Given nearly every other team we will come up against will have more “ physicality “ than us it looks like we’re in for a rough time. Any team with less physicality is in real trouble.

It’s Venkie Rovers for me at the moment. The Blackburn Rovers I grew up supporting left the stadium years ago

They’ve hollowed the club out into next to nothingness. It’s now a husk of the club I grew up supporting.

Of course, you’ve got to fight for the right to play your football first and foremost.

I’ve said that all along. To football your way out of this league you need the likes of Duff, Dunn, Jansen, etc etc. Trying it with lesser players will only get you where Rovers are today.
